Rigmor shrugged. "Maybe you're right." He didn't know much about the Falmer Knight that his father met, only what he heard from his tales years later.

He looked out to the black sea, seeing the reflection of the two moons on the water.

The next day, the ship was still in open water.

Rigmor went down into the hull of the ship to fetch some supplies for their meal, but upon entering the storage compartment he saw a light from a candle. Thinking that it could be a stowaway or someone eating their food without asking, he approached cautiously. Had he been wearing his Dragonbone armor he would've failed at such a stealth approach, but he was wearing only furs and clothes on the ship.

He neared the light and leaned over a crate. Surprisingly he found the youngest snow elf arched over a scroll by the candlelight. He didn't get a clear look at the parchment, but he saw that it was a map of Skyrim.

"Interested in maps?" He asked.

She quickly turned around and reached for her sword on reflex, but let go of the grip just as quickly. She then reached for the parchment and closed the map. "What...I was just looking over..."

"Looked like Skyrim." Rigmor said, very familiar with maps of his home province because of his years of adventuring.

She clutched the map. "It was...I was just curious is all. My people haven't been on the mainland for many generations, all our maps in the Vale are outdated."

"Oh, so that's it. Well I am quite knowledgable about Skyrim. I recon that I could tell you of almost any place on that map, and even ones not there." Rigmor said. He went over to the crate of food that the ship's chef had asked him to fetch and grabbed the supplies. "I'd be quite happy to do it just to pass the time on this long voyage."

A few more days passed and the ship was nearing Roscrea. They passed by a trade ship along the way, just coming back from bringing supplies to the island settlement.

Now, however, they spotted two more ships closeby.

"Another trade ship?" Athyis asked when he saw the concerned face of Captain Alesan.

The Redguard shook his head. He was using a monocular to see the ships. "No, those flags are of any trade ship. They bear the black flag."

"Pirates." Shav muttered.
