Fair points, yet I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

There’s got to be something preventing fairies (even their elite stealth wings) from frequenting this flying island. Otherwise, its location would be common knowledge among them.

I imagine that she, being powered by magic, could fly at least as fast as the ship, unless a strong wind is blowing (especially since she has proven fast enough to move in front of somebody and stop an arrow from hitting them, even though that was a sprint).

As for never seeing fairies fly that high, it is only because they are so small that it is almost impossible to catch a glimpse of them once they are that far above the ground. In fact, since even with their size (and especially because of the trail they leave), they would probably have been noticed flying around below the clouds at some point by some observer (and I don’t see many recordings of that), I surmise that their preferred flight level must be at least cloud level, if not higher. I believe this might be further substantiated due to the trails that they leave, which we don’t really see down here, but could potentially be mistaken as rainbows of sorts when above the clouds.

Crime? No–it’s just reinstating a treaty unlawfully abrogated by a usurper, Nicodemus.

This would make sense if she can fly faster than the ship itself. Otherwise, the ship will have to match speeds, or even stop now and then to pick her up, probably slowing the search down much more that her flights sideways could speed it up.

Also, the optimal height for this search may well exceed that of an unaided fairy. I, for one, have never seen fairies fly above clouds. Don’t think anybody has, for that matter.

We don’t know how fast it can fly, and it is too far for her to search on her own, I agree. My point was that we know that both it and she can fly even when Alex isn’t there (unlike everybody else), so if she flies away from it (but still in sight of it) while searching, she can see farther than they could see from the ship, allowing them to cover more ground in the same amount of time (even without Alex), and she can always return to the ship when she gets tired in order to rest. When Alex is there, he can be doing the same thing on the other side of the ship in order to cover even more ground.

Monopoly on crime is exactly what any sort of government is all about. Just rub it firmly until that shimmering PR stuff goes off, and you’ll see.

Well, technically, since Alex is king, he is in charge of the laws and the enforcement of them, so if he decides that it is time to reinstate the law about the protection of children, and the expulsion of pirates from Dreamland, that is his choice. However, I do think that it would have been better to have them sail back to the Nightmare Realm, rather than force them to stay in Dreamland longer due to having to walk/swim.
