"A vampire son...I'm starting to think that family is nothing but black sheeps." Darius muttered after Nelthro had gone.

"They certainly have more than their fair share." Sir Caesar agreed.

"Send a report to the Order of the Virtuous Blood, that vampire will be their problem to deal with." Darius ordered.

Caesar nodded. "At least things should calm down with them moving out of the Jerall Mountains."

"I certainly hope so, but you can never be too sure with them. I don't trust them. They're a collection of powerful individuals that seem only to act upon their own self-interests." Darius said.

"With any luck, what the old man said was honest and they'll stop whatever plots they may have going." Caesar noted.

"If they don't they'll have the law to deal with." Darius muttered.

As soon as Zirkan emerged from the shadows, one of the Redguards that was standing opposite to Abdul spotted him. "Captain, look out!" He yelled when he saw that the shadowy figure was armed.

Abdul, however, reacted too late and was slashed across the side of the neck by Zirkan. The Captain stumbled forward into the deck as he grabbed his injured neck to attempt to stop the bleeding.

The second dagger was throw at the right arm of Mujib. Mujib tried to side-step, but the blade still hit him and left a large cut on his arm. It was left bleeding.

The two other officers drew their scimitars.

"Captain!" One of them jumped over the desk and made it next to the injured captain, his weapon out to attack the assassin and protect Abdul.

The other circled around to try to flank Zirkan.

(Since Red has been away, let's go with this: After the mutiny, the Malaia slipped away from the battle, back when the Katariah was still firing at the Fist. So they were long gone before the battle was over.)

"Our goal was never to deal with the Betony Raiders as a whole. We're after their former bosses, the Daggerhearts. Those four ships escaping is an acceptable consequence. We'll continue ahead as planned and sail for Betony." Prince Marcus said. He thought: ''Though that large ship wasn't one of the Raider's vessels, it bore a different flag. Shelakh had made new allies before the battle. I'll need to make sure to get information on them too, that ship was quite powerful. Had it not been for the Katariah, the Crown and the Virene would've been toast.''

"As for the privateers, I will conceed that they were more next to worthless in the battle. As soon as their ship got damaged by that Orc warship, they turned tail and ran. I'll reprimand the Old Stag for his cowardness. They will lose their privateering license, I have no use for spineless mercenaries." The Prince added after another sip of his spiced wine.
