You fly to Eilela.

particular direction making your navigational skills become distorted.  The
crystal clear waves move with such a grace that you can never predict their
next move.  The ocean is endless, extending in all directions.

A dark-skinned human is here, standing out with bright platinum-
blond hair that hangs just above his shoulders, covering his ears.
His features are unusual and curious, darker in complexion than the

harsh and narrow lines forming his face. Thin lips appear to be
pursed inward, and his otherwise bright eyes appear to fade inward.

outdoor water <100%hp 92%m 32%mv 5788tnl 3 PM> l eil
A tall figure, standing at 6 feet and 3 inches is before you. She is an
Elven woman who stands with considerable confidence and stature. She
has the pointy ears and sharp features common to the Elvish people. She
appears at ease, but a trained eye can tell she is poised to strike at
and moment. Similar to how a cat might appear lazy, but is truly a ball
of muscle ready to pounce.

Her eyes are soft blue and her hair is dark brown and grows wildly down
to her neck. Her face is not beautiful, but there is a spark and energy
about her that makes her alluring and dangerous. Her skin is white, but
a little tanned. She is mostly unblemished and well-maintained. Her
body is long firm and fit. Her shoulders are a bit on the bulky side.
She does have a barely-noticeable unibrow, as it is plucked very thin.

She carries herself as if she cares about her appearance with smooth
clothes, free of dirt or dust. Parts of her face and body seem to have
been blackened by some sort of paint, chalk or ash. As if she were
trying to make herself harder to see. On her left wrist you notice a
black mark, about the size of a bracelet. On the palm of her left hand
is the Divine ink of a Goddess. A black jaguar with glowing white eyes
seems to follow you with those eyes, no matter where you move.
Eilela, a female elf, is in perfect health.

bottom is of multiple layers and heavily sewn. There is a simple affair 
of trailing ends of cloth to tie it all closed.

You follow Eilela up.
In the Aryth Ocean 
  As you make your way through the ocean, the swirling currents make navigating
quite difficult and distorted.  The warm, crystal clear water grows darker 
below where light can not penetrate.  You can see the surface not far above
you.  The ocean is endless, extending in all directions.

(WANTED) Eilela the elf is here.

You follow Eilela up.
On the Aryth Ocean 
  As you sail across this vast body of water, the wind seems to blow from no
particular direction making your navigational skills become distorted.  The
crystal clear waves move with such a grace that you can never predict their
next move.  The ocean is endless, extending in all directions.
 
[Exits: north east south west down]
     A piece of drift wood floats here harmlessly.
(WANTED) Eilela the elf is here.
A large female cloud giant carefully watches your actions.

Lightning flashes in the sky.

outdoor water <100%hp 86%m 100%mv 5778tnl 9 AM> You flap your wings and soar up
above.
Far Above the Aryth Ocean 
  The air rushing under your wings is cold, and smells strongly of 
salt.  You slow the flapping of your wings and glide for a moment,
to marvel once again at the view.  No matter how many times you 
see it, the view from above the clouds still invokes a childlike 
reverence in you.  The cloud cover here is sparse, giving you a 
wide view of the ocean below.  Crystalline blue water spreads out 
below you as far as the eye can see.  This far out to sea, you 
see no whitecaps, rather, the waves do not break at all, giving 
the appearance of rolling hills.  Occasionally you do see a square
of white, in the form of a sail atop a majestic sailing vessel.  
The ocean below seems truly endless.  Even the Dragon Sea far to 
the north seems nothing more than a wading pond in comparison.  
You begin to wonder when you will reach sight of land again, and 
whether or not it will come before your wings tire.
