[QUOTE="talien, post: 5041583, member: 3285"] [b]Crisis in Freeport: Conclusion[/b] Beldin and Sebastian sat at the Last Resort, nursing their drinks. By now the other patrons knew to leave them alone, and the Brandydales had given them a private room; Sebastian was scaring the regulars. “The guardsmen who fired the cannon at the Salon du Masque were hired by someone,” said Sebastian. “Someone who didn’t want Arias to talk.” “The elorii?” asked Beldin. Sebastian shook his head. “I don’t think so. But if Mentire was working for the Emperor, and he was controlling Persius, he needed a contact here. A wretch like that doesn’t make contacts easily. He was receiving his orders from a go-between. Someone who knows Freeport well.” The dwarf slurped from his mug. “If the Emperor makes the elorii look like the enemy, Freeport won’t ally with them. Do we have any leads on that spy?” ”We have but one: Cunegunda.” Beldin stared down into his ale. “How’d you come by that name?” Sebastian looked up from his drink. “Do you really want to know?” The dwarf grunted. “From what I hear, word got out on the streets. Everyone in Freeport and their mother is looking for her.” In fact, a citywide manhunt had already begun. A few overzealous citizens strung up foreigners, while others organized mobs to scour the docks in search of Cunegunda’s refuge. “With all the chaos, the Guard is spread too thinly to locate the spy.” Sebastian’s tail flicked in agitation. “She’s probably escaped.” “And what of Ilmarė?” “Safe, for now. I left her in the care of the Sanctum, but…” Sebastian trailed off. “I will not be returning there.” “They threw you out.” The dark-kin sniffed. “I left of my own accord,” was all he said. Beldin finished his ale. “Now what?” “Freeport will never ally with the elorii, so in that regard the Emperor is victorious. But Emric is on the Sea Lord’s throne, which makes Freeport all the stronger. We must ensure he stays safe until things settle down.” Beldin eye his companion. “Since when do you care so much about Freeport?” “I have sacrificed much for Freeport.” Sebastian sighed. “I was not able to save Canceri. Perhaps I can save this place.” But Beldin wasn’t so sure. “Let’s go,” said Sebastian, interrupting the dwarf’s musings. “We’re moving into our new home.” “Where’s that?” “The Sea Lord’s Palace.” [/QUOTE]
