Eve nodded to Nataly, Drew, and Vanahara before going over to the starboard side of the ship and beginning to coat it with ice. Luckily the air was full of water and ice already from the proximity of the Storm, it was a simple matter to pull it from the air and cover the ship. Within a couple of minutes she and Nataly had the entire ship covered, and she could sense where Vanahara was strengthening the hull from where the ice was forced to move. 

Then they entered the storm. It was amazing, like they were transported to an entirely different planet, but it didn't take long until Eve was focused again on keeping the layer of ice around the ship. small bits of earth and lightning consistently broke the ice, the electricity in the lightning being grounded by the metal hull and heating it up to melt the ice around it at the same time. However, as fast as the Storm's elements were breaking their shield, she and Nataly were replacing it just as quickly. 

She was distracted a moment by the rope that Vanahara had tossed to them, and she nodded her thanks as she quickly tied the rope around her waist. Trusting the knot to be strong enough, she turned back to her ice, pulling some from the storm to patch where the other elements of the storm kept breaking the shield of ice. She began to get annoyed at how the elements of the storm seemed to be working together to defeat their efforts. 

When Vanahara yelled to them that there was a cannon lost Eve quickly spread a thin layer of ice over the cannon ports to find where the hole was. She hadn't put much ice by the cannons, the constant firing would just increase the risk of it shattering, but when she found the empty port she pulled more ice from the storm and filled it, the ice forming on both sides of the wall and fusing in the space between them. 

Before she could even take a breath after that, a harpy landed on the deck beside her thinking that she would be its next meal. She pulled her sword off her back and sliced it in two, then formed a bunch of small, sharp shards of ice using the water from the rune in her sword's hilt, throwing them towards more of the harpies and aiming for their eyes. 

She continued this strengthening of the ice shield and volley of ice attacks on the harpies until one managed to get behind her and lift her from the ship's deck, causing her to drop her sword as she was pulled into the sky. The rope around her waist managed to stop their ascent, causing the harpy to dig its claws into her shoulders and start tugging on her, painfully and in vain as it tried to fight against the rope. She managed to calm down after a moment, and started coating the harpy in ice, starting with its wings. 

The harpy shrieked and they fell back to the deck, Eve managing to land on the creature and pull its claws from her. Shakily, she grabbed her sword back off the ground and shoved it into the harpie's torso, where its heart would be. The creature fell to a heap on the deck as she removed her sword, and went to sit with her back against the railing so nothing could get her from behind again. She held her sword in her lap in front of her, ready to defend herself again as she went about re-repatching the layer of ice around the ship, making sure that the hole in the cannon bay was still closed.
