"Alright, end of the line, you worthless lot!" shouted Najiima as the Red Dogs left her ship and waded through the shallow water with drawn weapons.

She had been personally assigned to raid and seize Karthwasten, something she considered to be and honor since it reminded her of her days of piracy. She did not like the fact however that she had to march with the soldiers and therefore leave her ship in the hands of Pavelin.

That edgy little Bosmer freak has probably sunken more ships than he has brain cells, she reflected as she took a leap of the railing.

It was to some comfort for her that Bori Fast-Hand went with her. Even though they had different opinions about moral and ethics, Bori was a man who would never leave a comrade behind.

"Nervous?" he asked her as his boots made a splash when he landed in the water.

"Nah, Khajiit has been through worse. This one took on an entire fleet from Hammerfell once."

Bori shrugged. "Fighting at sea might be different, but fighting on land... Are you sure you are up for it?"

"Is that sarcasm Najiima detects?" she hissed. "This will be a walk in the park." She observed the young Nord from head to toe. "How did it go at Dragon Bridge?"

"They offered their allegiance", he replied and checked his bow. "All these attacks around Haafingar made them worried, and eventually they thought it would be best if someone could watch over their small community, namely our lord Garm the Iron Hound."

"Yes, the Dog of Iron has a reputation for watching over his brethren", said Najiima. "Who is in charge of the army at Dragon Bridge?"

"Tommard. And if I might be frank, I am actually glad to be as far away from that bloodthirsty savage as possible."

"You and me both but come now, Nord. We have a settlement to claim in the name of the Gorehounds!"

The pair started to march after the army. It would take them a day or two to reach Karthwasten, but in the end it would be ultimately worth it...
