The ship was swaying back and forth. Dalek stood starboard and leaned against the railing, reading his tome. In front of him a small dark orb slowly grew. There was a small mist and it was difficult to see but once Dalek heard the pounding footseps upon the wooden deck of the ship, he closed his tome and the dark orb vanished without a trace."Hoy, lunch is ready below deck. If'n you're hungry that is." He held his tome close to his chest and watched as the sailor walked by. Food.... Dalek looked about him. He hadn't realized that he had been out at sea for days, that he hadn't eaten or slept for days. There were times when he missed the comfort of his bed and the fun itmes he had amongst the people in Delfia. But he left for a reason. In his pursuit of knowledge, his parents had tried to stop him from learning. From growing. They wouldn't hold him back anymore. No one would.
Dalek walked down the staircase and followed his nose to a small eating area. Plates were set out with dried, salted meats with a bowl of onion soup. There were other passengers and sailors seated amongst the tables and chairs. Their joyous laughter pierced his ears. He sat down and kept his eyesight to the ground. He didn't want to stand out or be seen. Few people are fond of Elder magic. He kept his cloak on and hood up, hiding his face from anyone curious enough to look his way. He took the salted meats and put it in his sack. Once he reached the isles, he wouldn't know where to find food.
"The Western Isles. Nice and isolated." He muttered to himself. He quietly mumbled to himself and rambled on about the isles and Elder magic. All the while he was constantly looking around in a paranoid fasion. Under his cloak, he was turning through the pages in his tome.
