The strange vessel remained suspended above the Floating Island as everyone continued staring at it. Shane was still trying to understand how Merlin had somehow managed to discover such an enormous machine without anyone else noticing it until now!
Merlin, however, seemed much more interested in showing off his discovery.
"You can stare at it later. Come inside and see for yourselves."
Shane was curious. After all, it seemed as if even Cloud was surprised that Merlin was able to control the vessel.
"You're sure it's safe?" He asked.
"Quite sure."
Merlin turned toward the vessel and raised his hand. The blue lights along its surface suddenly brightened, and a section of the underside began to separate.
Just like that, a mysterious circular platform slowly descended from the vessel, revealing a passage leading into its interior.
Max immediately stepped closer.
"So it really is a spaceship..."
Tundra's eyes lit up.
