The Night Garden continued to descend into the cold waters of the Stormsea. Sunny had allowed the dome of shadows to collapse into a torrent of flowing darkness and vanish, thus allowing Jet and the Saints of Night to see what was happening around the titanic ship.
It was a wondrous sight.
There did not seem to be anything standing in the way of water, and yet it failed to wash over the decks of the Night Garden, as if pushed away by an invisible barrier. Strangely enough, that made Sunny feel like he was a fish locked in a colossal aquarium.
Of course, an aquarium was supposed to keep aquatic forms of life alive on dry land, not the other way around.
'What is the opposite of an aquarium, though?'
A terrarium... it was probably a terrarium.
His odd thoughts were interrupted by Jet, who looked around with a wary expression on her face and said:
"We will proceed slowly. Be ready to summon that dome back if the Aegis begins leaking."
