[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5577442, member: 2012"] [B][I]The wardroom:[/I][/B] “They came out of the black depths,” Nanesa said. “I didn't think anything could surprise me underwater. I was arrogant to believe so.” The half-triton princess had finally calmed down. She'd agreed to tell them everything that had happened to her. Salisan had limited the number of people in the wardroom for her story. Dabuk was there, of course, as was Bactra and Jeddar. Mesik and Thessa were small enough to sit quietly in one corner; Thessa watched over Teal who sat moping with her legs crossed while Mesik looked over a few charts. Dvalin and Rikin were helping the crew and Crystal was in the hold helping Hugh take stock of the ship's remaining food stores. “Sea devils are full of guile,” Salisan stated. “You were lucky they didn't eat you.” “I thought they were going to at first. There were half-a-dozen of them. They came at me all at once and if not for my magical abilities, they would have killed me. I also think my unique nature frightened them.” “Sea devils are known for being paranoid. They might have thought you were a half-dragon or a shapechanger. Besides, I think they had a more important target.” “You mean us,” Dabuk stated. “Aye,” Salisan nodded. “It was likely a scouting party looking for us.” “Someone doesn't want us to make this journey,” Mesik said grimly. “Their going to have to do a lot more than pay sea devils at us,” Dabuk replied. “I will not turn back and I will not give up. We are going to the Isle of Dread. We are going to find this Zepp person. And we're going to find a way to get to the Fallenlands.” “Captain Marg,” Nanesa spoke only to the reef giant. “I would like to offer my services for your journey. I am trained as a cleric of Persana although I have only just begun my adventuring career. My father doesn't wish me to live an explorers life, but I cannot continue to live in solitude in Athbethicia.” “I don't know if I can agree to what you're asking. Your father is an important ally to my people. He will become incensed if I defy him.” “It is not his decision to make. I was of age three cycles ago.” “Will your mother agree?” Salisan asked. “Yes. But he doesn't listen to her. It's not like they're bonded.” “You let me worry about that. I will see what I can do; however, while I captain this ship, Dabuk leads this expedition. You must convince him.” Nanesa looked at Dabuk. She didn't like what she saw. He was grinning like a cat about to bite into a fish. “I am sorry if I insulted you with my eariler outburst,” Nanesa apologized, It was less than convincing. “I care little for your apologies. If you want to come, you must respect the chain of command on this ship and in this room. Except for Teal over there, you are last in that line of command until you prove yourself. Do you understand?” The sea princess looked ready to hit him. “I accept your terms, land-dweller.” Dabuk left the wardroom without saying another word.
