"Okay."
Violet crisply agreed before gracefully leaping onto the bowsprit that held three raised sails.
She bent over to gently caress the pure white ivory Figurehead—the South Wind Maiden—resting beneath it.
The Figurehead was entirely carved from the tusk of a large sea creature known as a unicorn whale, which was, in actuality, a long tooth from the whale's mouth.
The main body depicted a slender and graceful semi-nude girl dancing in the wind, wearing only a light layer of gossamer.
It was a one-to-one scale replica of a beautiful dancer performing the "Dance of the South Wind."
Though it was a rigid sculpture, the figure's limb movements and the thin layer of fabric perfectly captivated the essence and rhythmic life force of the wind.
Just a brief glance was enough to feel the warm, gentle breeze blowing around her.
Violet, having majored in sculpture and art design at the Vinaia Art Academy, couldn't help but be captivated by such a masterful piece of art.
