Farewell

Grant looks at the letter from his homeland and lets out a slow breath of air. His older brother had gotten the plague and it was now time for Grant to return him and get ready to take the throne of Corthina..

Little did Grant know that the night of his departing form Trollsbane.Derinoar and Val lunched a attack on the Bloodskulls they fought the best the could angaist a group lager than them.It ended in a draw and weapons were laid down..Val lost a limp and Derinoar lost his pride and rescept for Grant fore he though Grant left becuase of the war..

Had Grant been there fight along side them like they had planed for months, the tide would have changed the movement would have won and had a chance to go for Darlok and build Callahorn into the land the dream of and spilled their hearts for...

"Farewell, where ever the roads of this damned life may take you.
Long live Prince Grant Herion. Long live King Grant.

May roses lay out your path, may rocks go apart at your sight, my winds always blow your way, may loyal thieves hide from you and peek out when you look back to see your path. May shadows guard your sleep.

Be safe and remember your friends."

Konstantin writes this on a note, and gives it to his hawk Dermott, who thrusts into the air to deliver the note to Grant Herion, wherever he is.

Grant sits on a crate on the only port where ships come and go on the island. He looks around, a few sailors are working on a shabby looking ship, but Grant isn't in the mood to buy a poor ship, instead he waits til the fine looking boat a few miles off port reaches.
He looks behind himself as if he heard a noise, but he finds nothing that would make the noise.
He wonders if any of his Movement men would know where to find him...

Derinoar Fallvictor · Sat Mar 27, 2004 12:01 am

Derinoar awoke to the in the moring, the first awake in the inn besides a few workers, He went down to The Movement Depot and grab some fresh clothes and then to the smithy to get his chain mail repaired...He headed back to the inn and looked at Val Laying asleep with his wound .Derinoar wanted to wake him but chose not to. With out saying a goodbye to anyone he walked towards the docks...

Wakes up from a cold sweat and slowly makes it to the port to say his good bye he ponders on hisway and he might never say goodbye

Derinoar Fallvictor · Sat Mar 27, 2004 12:31 am

Derinoar Walked over to a man selling small boats he pulled out a bag of gold and was about to hand it to the man when he notice a man standing at the end of the dock...

"What in the hell are you still doing here!?"

"Leaving Fallvic, I must return to my kingdom, my brother is ill from the plague and I must be back in the capital before he goes..." Grant says, "What are you doing here...?

Derinoar Fallvictor · Sat Mar 27, 2004 12:39 am

"The Movement has failed, my time here is done.I'm doing what I do every, time going to another isle. Where there is work for people like me, Theres allways someone who needs a Shadowy Job done."

*stops for a second*

"At lest my last battle here was worth something..."

Val De Gausse · Post by **Val De Gausse** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 12:39 am

notices the two talking from afar and hobbles over to them slowly

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 1:17 am

Grant sees the pale looking Val, and gasps at the sight of the poor soldier. Grant rushes to Val's side and helps him walk to a crate where he can sit and rest.
"What are you doing here Val...? You should be in bed..."

Willum · Post by **Willum** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 1:25 am

Willum sees the three men talking from the woods and walks over to them

Val De Gausse · Post by **Val De Gausse** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 1:34 am

"I have no bed...I was told I slept in Fieps. I can sleep on the ship."

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 1:42 am

A smirk comes across Grant's face as he sees Willum walking towards them from the woods.
"So your coming with me eh?" Grant says as he chews on a flower.

The boat he had seen from afar had gotten closer and he could see it clearly, it was pretty small, but large enough for his party. Grant saw the captain and walked over to him and they spoke and bargained for several minutes til an agreement was made.
Grant paid the captain two hundred forty silver coins for the ship. The Captain and his crew left the ship and their adventures are no longer counted in this little tale.

Grant walked over to Val who sat on a crate and Fallvictor who looked towards and sea and said, "Well, I got that ship, are either of you any good at boating?"

As Grant finished these words Willum walked up.

Derinoar Fallvictor · Post by **Derinoar Fallvictor** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 3:14 am

Derinoar smirked as he heard Grant..

"Me? i don't know they first thing about boats.."

Before Grant could speak Derinoar heard willum and turned to say Hello

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:53 am

"Alright then, I'll be captain and just show you how to do basic things. This is a fairly small boat so it won't be hard to man." Grant then gave his companions a crash course in basic sailing. They each followed and learned how to sail, they were rookie sailors at the beginning of their journey."Right, now I'll go buy us supplies at the general store in the port city. I'll be back in the morning with food and such, wake up early to help me load it into our ship."

Willum · Post by **Willum** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 6:13 am

Willum walked up to Grant and saidI will indeed come with you Grant yet after we have arived saftly at your homeland i must sail back here.

Salathe walks up to the dock where Grant's ship is and looks at the men standing there

"I'm coming too... I owe Grant one, a big one"

Grant returns walking alongside a horse drawn carriage. The carriage has meats, bottles of water, milk, beer and wine, fruits and cakes and breads.
The men put the food into the ships belly. The ship is about fifty feet from front to back with three levels. The top level is the deck, it had the navigator at the bow of the ship, about 10 feet behind the navigator was the mast, it was wide. Behind the mast was a large area where the crew could sit or fish or possibly spar with each other.
The second level was where they lived. The stairs were infront of the mast on the first level, they went straight to the Captain's room, the rest of the crew would go around the bottom of the stairs to their beds.
Behind the bottom of the stairs was another set of stairs, smaller, it was the kitchen where they kept their food.

Grant looked out into the Sea, it was large and seemed to never end. Grant breathed in deeply the ocean air.
Corthina was a Kingdom that was made of many port cities. It was rich from trade from foriegn trade over the seas. Nearly everyone in Corthina had been taught how to sail from an early age. Grant had often sailed his small boat back home when he was younger.
He felt giddy, he wanted to get going. His men seemed anxious but nervious to get going...

Grant said "Lets go boys!" and his men began to get the mast open, it caught the wind and slowly the boat lurched off the dock and into the sea. Their adventure had begun!

Willum · Post by **Willum** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 9:41 pm

Willum looked back at the shore and mumbled I will be back......soon but now its time for an adventure. Willum turned away from the shore and helped his friends with the duities of sailing

Willum · Post by **Willum** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 11:01 pm

Willum realizes he is needed back on the island so he asks Grant if he may borrow a lift raft and sail back as soon as possible

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 11:57 pm

"Willum, if you think you must go back, then you must go back. Take the small skiff, it is our only one, but be sure you must go." Grant says and looks back out into the horizon.

Willum · Post by **Willum** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 12:02 am

"I belive i must yet i will buy my own boat soon and sail to see you soon i hope."Willum unties the skiff, gets in and sails back toward the location of the island

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 12:37 am

Grant watches Willum leave on the skiff, they were only about a mile off of the port city, Willum would return safely. Grant turned back to the horizon, the water they were in was still fresh, they would need to go several miles out into the ocean before they got to salt water.
The sea was a dangerous place, storms would gather above you before you knew what was opening, rouge waves could turn your boat topside, and besides nature beinging an enemy out there, there were pirates and sea monsters the likes of which none would want to meet.
It would be dangerous, but Grant knew that the men he was with would be able to overcome any obstacle they faced.

Salathe · Post by **Salathe** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 1:32 am

Salathe tripped at the end of the stairs, while heading up deck.

He rubs his face, then looks up and sees Grant at the stern. He gets up and walks over to Grant

"Gonna be a king eh? Well, I figured I'd pay you back, and make sure you dont screw up and die. Besides, I need to go on searching some more..."

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 1:35 am

Grant turns around, "Yeah, I guess I'll be King of Corthina, it wasn't ment to happen like this. My brother was supposed to be King and his sons were ment to be King when he died. But his wife couldn't have children it seems as he is childless..."
Grant looks back out to the sea, the body of fresh water was ending soon, now it was going to be Sea water.

Val De Gausse · Post by **Val De Gausse** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 6:01 am

On the boat they begin to assign jobs. As Val current condition he chooses to be the cook.

Grant Herion · Post by **Grant Herion** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 7:21 am

It was night, Grant had decided they wouldn't sail at night since none of them besides himself really knew how to very well and they could easily go off course a long way if they went at night, so the mast had been tied up around it's pole.
Val had just finished making them all dinner, some smoked ham and rolls. They ate in relative silence, not much to talk of. Grant finished quickly and went to his captain's quarters alone. There is prayed to Nargun to help keep his mind sane.

It was nearing midnight when the were all awakened by a loud noise and many foots running across their ship's deck. Fallvictor was the first tosee what was happening.

Derinoar Fallvictor · Post by **Derinoar Fallvictor** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 7:40 am

After Dinner Fallvictor snuck away to the deck and grabed his lance..He began to pratice his technique, once again tring to master it and add more moves to his new style of fighting...When sweat begain to drip down his face he sat down on the deck and laid the lance beside him...he went in to a deep trance...Suddenly a crash shocked him back to this world..Derinoar looked over to see a Ship dock next to them, and wooden planks falling and land on their deck..men began to cross on to the ship..Derinoar Took up his Lance and lunged towards them.

He ran to the closes plank and did a upward slash toward the neck of the man about to board, the pirate and his scimtar fell down to the sea blow..another Chraged at Derinoar, Derinoar counter the mans slash with the middle of his Lance he then twisted his lance knock the man out of balance and he fell like his fellow pirate to the ice sea below..Derinoar then got a idea before the two other pirate on the plank could get close enough Derinoar fell catching himself with one arm and used his foot to knock the plank off the deck and in to the waters below the one pirate was close enough to his ship to jump back but the other fell trying to get across or back..Derinoar stood jump and ready for another atatck as he yelled..

"Wake up you Bastards! your going to like this.."
