The Gorehound fleet approached the Arbiter in the night. The Breton girl stood at the gunnel and watched.

"You shouldn't stand so close to the railing, girl", said Gregorius. "It has killed more men than gunshots."

"I am sorry, mylord", said Jaqueline and took a step back. "What do you plan to do once we reach the Sky Ruins?"

For the first time he smiled, though it wasn't a pleasant one. "I will rule. First we will help Darkwater plunder those ruins. Doesn't bother me none, she could have had all the treasure in there if she had asked me kfor it. I simply want that place as an outpost, but she said that we would split whatever we found there and it is rude to reject such an offer. Besides, gold speaks to most men. Men who would be willing to join our cause."

"I thought mylord hated mercenaries?"

"Aye, that I do, child. Never liked them, never trusted them, but likewise we will need them if we are to claim Eagleholm." He gave her a hard pat on her head. "Get some rest, Jaqueline, you've earned it. I require no need of your services for tonight."

She curtsied. "Thank you, mylord."
