“Can you?”
She grinned.“Oh, yes.Shall we head to the port?”
“My guards are there.”
“They won’t be needed.”She walked to the door.“I don’t know where I am going.”
He nodded and came around the desk, walking her through the maze of the casino and out into the village that was currently unoccupied.The vessels in the harbour were suitably cobbled together.
“Those are the ships?”
“Yes.”
“Have your guards ready to go.I am going to show you my party trick.”She stepped forward a few steps, and then she split into thirty archers.
She raised flaming arrows and fired at the ships.Then she reloaded and fired again.And again.
The ships suddenly started listing and moving aimlessly.“Send your men out.The pirates are unconscious and will remain so for forty-five minutes.”
Denog nodded and sent his guys out.A wave of guards got into boats, and they went to grab the prisoners and the sinking ships.
“So, what is that, exactly?”
She snapped back into one body.“Oh, just something that is handy for situations like this.This didn’t come to me naturally.”
“What happened?”
“I was sold, and then I was purchased, and then this happened.”
He stared.“Oh.”
“Yeah.Now I’m an agent.”She wrinkled her nose.“It seems that Aksalla is willing to take servitude for citizenship.”
“An agent...ah.”Denog chuckled.“It seems I am mixing with interesting people.”
“Yes.Do your men have things under control?”
He looked around and spoke into his com.A man named Cavel spoke and said, “We’ve got it.What do we do with them?”
“Call the Sethir.These appear to be their citizens gone astray.They can come get them.”
Vesta smiled.“You have really good vision.”
“Of course I do.I could see Cabree sunbathing on the private deck from here.At that point, she was going to be mine.”
Vesta chuckled.“And now she is.”
“Your sister almost stopped that, but it is best the way it worked out.Cabree is worth the fuss and definitely the trouble.I never imagined I would find a woman with golden blood guarded by a woman who used water whips.”
Vesta grinned.“That’s Pria.I am so happy to be with her again.”
“Are you?”
“Happy or with her?”
He snorted.“Yes, you sound like her.”
She grinned.“If your men are ready, I will bring you back to Cabree.You might want to make it legal, by the way.She needs to know someone is choosing her.”Vesta chuckled.“Plus, she isn’t in it for money.”
