Finally the ships of the White Realm arrived over the Sea of Strength. They showed the banners of peace, and most of the fleet were left at sea while only the command ship and two other ships were moved into port.

Hound was the first man to set his feet upon the stone-covered harbor of Ordail. He was followed by Peter and Morbius. With him were also the captain of the fleet, Dedrik Argnar, and the third-in-command of the army, Vivien Led.

Hound and the men following him began to walk up from the harbour along the padded streets of Ordail. Soon Hound spotted a captain of the city watch.

The man bowed as Hound addressed him, recognizing Hound as a noble from the White Realm. He understood it would be wise to show respect.

"Could you direct me to whoever is in charge of the harbour? I need to speak with him. Weissland needs the aid of the Realm, and the sooner I can give it to them the better," Hound said.

((Were you wanting me to answer that?))

"The remnants of General Rios' army arrived some time ago. Perhaps you could seek out one of the captains and travel together."

((Thank you a lot mate :D))

"Thank you," Hound nodded with a smile on his face, "Is there a chance that I might speak to Rios himself?" Then he realized what the man had actually said and added carefully, "If he made it back."

"Rios was not found, dead or alive. In all likelyhood, he went down with his ship. Most of the survivors agree that he would have died fighting," the man explained. "I think Narandar, Rios' Standard Bearer, holds the highest rank now."

"Good," Hound nodded. "And where might I find him?"

Peter made a small move with his hand, as if reminding Hound of something. The member of the White Council smiled and nodded.

"Of course, we also need to know where the mayor of Ordail is."

Soon thereafter, Hound, Morbius, Peter and Dedrik Argnar was led into the office of the port mayor of Ordail.

The port mayor was seated at his chair behind his desk in front of a window overlooking the harbor. He rose when the Realmers entered together with the captain of the city watch.

To the right in the room stood Narandar. Hound bowed to the man, "Greetings Narandar. I'm sorry about Lord Rios, he was a most valuable man to Weissland in these dark times."

((Thank you! :) ))

Narandar forced a smile. "Thank you for your words."

He seemed to want to say something more, but nothing came.

"When will your army depart towards Ataya, or wherever the frontlines are?" Hound asked.

Hound to Dedrik Argnar, but the man only returned with a puzzled look in his face. Hound looked back on Narandar, "Very good. I will proceed with my army in two days, hopefully tomorrow already."

"When you're on your way, could you please send news back to me on where I should go. I should meet with the leaders of Weissland, Lord Thaendil or Castoden, but if fighting has already erupted I should probably go directly where that is."

"I would expect both to be in - or near - Ataya. That is where I am heading, unless I am ordered elsewhere. After the attack, a messenger on horseback is the fastest means of communication available to us."

"The attack?," Morbius asked slowly.

"Yes, we were attacked by a pirate fleet as we crossed the Sea of Strength. We lost many soldiers, including General Rios..."

"Oh, yes," Hound nodded, "We did hear of that. But why did that destroy your other means of communication?"

"I see," Hound simply nodded. He turned to Morbius, "Go down to the harbor and brings news that the army is to begin embark into Ordail."

Then he quickly thought this through and turned back to the port-mayor and Narandar, "Or maybe we should embark on the coast either south or north of Ordail. It would be best for the men to enter into the city, but this might not be alright with you?"
