Each of the mercenaries had their own equipment to prepare. While some mercenary groups had matching uniforms or specific insignia and symbols to make them recognisable, Akeld and his group did not make their presence known in such an overt way. Each member wore a chainmail shirt underneath their outer clothing, as well as using boiled leather bracers and greaves. This gave them light and managable armour which was quite well concealed.

Akeld strapped a dagger to both his side and his leg. His main weapon though, was an ornate two-handed axe which was across his back, covered by his cloak and pack.

Once the other members of the team were prepared they left the building one at a time. Since their headquarters was not something to be widely advertised, the group did not want to draw attention to it by leaving at the same time. As Nacea, the best archer amongst the group, headed towards the door, she turned and spoke to Akeld "Why did you take this job Akeld?"

Akeld looked at her directly and replied "There's been a lot going on recently, between all these wars and the news we've heard from other parts of Weissland. I think leaving for a while could be beneficial. Now, get going, I'll meet up with you all at the docks."

After a few minutes Akeld walked out of a back door and started making his way to the docks. He kept an eye out for the ship and their new employer. Gradually, after several minutes of working his way through the crowd, Akeld was joined by the others at discreet distances.

The elf's sharp eyes spotted the woman standing on a ship. It was a sleek vessel, impressive, but also non-descript and plain, ordinary. It served a similar purpose as the building the mercenaries used as their headquarters. The group of six mercenaries reached where the ship was docked and prepared to board. Akeld approached his employer and inclined his head in a slight greeting before saying "My team is ready to depart and is at your disposal."

"Ah, very good." said Kassandra. She turned to Brakk. "Well, captain, let's get going. The sooner we leave, the sooner we get back, and the sooner all of you get your money."

Brakk nodded and directed his crew throughout the ship. He had little time for the mercenaries. It did not take long for them to leave the harbour and begin their journey across the sea.

Kassandra moved over to the mercenary leader. "And what should I call you?"
"Stand against me if you must, for of course you will. Conflict is just another part of this flawed reality. You need to cling to your concepts and purposes, your feeble honour and glory. None of it serves any purpose in the end. And the end draws close." - Krodalis Thaendil.

"It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil.

The elf answered "Akeld, Akeld Voraison. Might I say, this is an impressive ship. What is it called?"

Kassandra smiled. "The Morbid Raider. Brakk and his crew 'aquired' it from the Weissland navy some years ago. It'll keep us out of harms-way, because I very much doubt that harm will be able to catch it."

Akeld nodded "That sounds good to me. Is there anything specific you want my team to call you? I know that some employers value keeping their identity secret."

Volan slowly looked at Ash stepping back. He lifted his cheek slightly, as if he gazed down at the man who was the same height as himself. Then he smiled and gestured towards the door.

"Please," he said. "We will make contact." He nodded to the two men at the door who stepped aside.

Ash bowed again, muttered some words of courtesy and walked towards the door with James by his side. Ash beckoned James to speak his mind.

James too bowed and follow Ash out.
"Creeps." he said quietly to Ash once out of earshot. "They want us to complete a task which would blow our cover and destroy us in this realm."

"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided!

Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony!

Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus

The leader of the Dragon Battalion nodded. "Do you think we can hear what they talk about from the roof?" Ash said as he gestured towards the roof of the structure.

Volan looked back at the newly arrived dark elf as the door closed behind the two Dragons. "What do you mean he has fallen?"

"His servants, Turak and Gonhin, together with Telen arrived at Asulien with his ring and sword. They believe Grobtak was killed by our master."

"Makes sense," Volan nodded. "Most likely he tried to gain power for himself once more. Stupid, scared human, Grobtak was."

He turned to his two men at the door. "Fasten," he said. "Wait for it, then you follow our friends and see where they goes." Fasten nodded, stepped backwards towards the doors though he did not open it yet. He slowly turned his head, as if listening through the woodwork of the structure.

Volan turned towards Mai Raugen at the floor, clutching his wound.

"Do you still want to live Mister Raugen?" Volan asked. Mai nodded quickly, with clenched jaw.

"Then your tasks will change in the future. You will learn that myself and Grobtak always had different objectives."

Then he turned towards the newly arrived dark elf again. "Then what do Cyrush want?"

James said nothing but cupped his hands to make a step for ash to bound onto the adjacent building. They would move from one building to the other.

Ash cracked a rare smile as he accepted the boost. Ash climbed up, then stretched out his right arm so that his companion could join him. He then said, "This is not over!"

Fasten ventured carefully outside the door just as the two Dragons diappeared over the edge of the roof. He looked around surprised by the speed the Dragons had suddenly taken off with. He stood still, trying to listen for footsteps or voices.

-----------------------------------------------------

"The last heir has been found," the other dark elf informed. "He does not matter anymore. The only task now is to capture Arhaina and make use of the Great Necromancer before his time is over."

Volan was surprised that Fizban Dantares, the last member of the Dantares-line, had been found. But if he did not matter, he did not matter. Grobtak, and people like him, had cared about Fizban. Volan had not.

"Very well," Volan said. "Where is she?"

"She is a prisoner of an old friend of ours. Kalon Cyreddlues."

Volan nodded and smiled. Old relatives always returned to his life.

James moved silently across the rooftop. They heard the door to the building they had just left open. They had only just gotten onto the roof in time.
He waited for Ash to proceed.

Ash carried on, putting a finger to his lips. They had to tread carefully now.

James watched the way they had come, incase there was anyone behind them. He carefully picked where he placed his foot and headed forward.

There was a little hole in the roof. Ash signalled to James to watch his back with standard Dragon hand signals, before laying down on the roof and peeking through the hole. With his great hearing, Ash could make out some of the conversation that was going on bellow...

James scanned around the roof and palmed a throwing disc into his hand, just in case.
