- 114 Ra.s.sa, Ebony and Aegin all sat around the table in the darkness of the apartment. Ra.s.sa had just spent an hour talking to them. He hadn't originally meant to spill everything, but once he started, it was hard to stop. And it felt so good to share it
- 115 Despite Ra.s.sa's insistance at Ebony and Aegin deciding where to go and what to do next, the two of them still turned to Ra.s.sa for his opinion. Their reasoning was that they still needed to go to a place that offered him a steady food supply.Ra.s.sa h
- 116 "What did the old Token guy want?" asked Aegin as he put another sack of medicinal herbs into the cart."He offered us jobs on his s.h.i.+p," Ra.s.sa replied.Aegin paused, "You're kidding?"Ra.s.sa shook his head, "He said the only thing he could of
- 117 Ra.s.sa had never been on a small boat before, let alone a s.h.i.+p such as the one they were currently making their way towards. Despite working at the docks for a month, he hadn't actually been allowed to step foot on the s.h.i.+ps. The cargo was usual
- 118 "I...are you sure?" asked Ebony.Midas raised an eyebrow, "I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't sure"."Maybe one of us can-"Midas frowned at Ra.s.sa, "I chose him because he's small, it's better to have that quality when you're up there".He turne
- 119 As Ebony struggled to maintain a sense of 'manly' dignity at the top of the main mast, Aegin and Ra.s.sa were in the process of learning how to follow orders so that the s.h.i.+p could run as smoothly as possible. It involved various tasks, but encompa.
- 120 The climb down was harder than the climb up had been. Mostly because it only reinforced the fact that Ebony had been stuck up so high all day. It was only as the sun began to set that Isaac had returned from abandoning her at midday to relieve her of her
- 121 The hammock, surprisingly, was far more comfortable than expected. The feeling of being suspended seemed to make up for the lack of any padding. In fact, it seemed as if the position one was in when sitting in the hammock actually helped most of those on
- 122 The five day trip to Rouke Island went relatively smoothly. Though it was originally meant to be four days, they had been delayed slightly by a combination of less than desirable weather and Eb's learning abilities. He'd made a few minor mistakes, but i
- 123 Ebony's first glimpse of land was shortly after dawn on their fifth day at Sea. Several tiny islands appeared before them to the east, and she called down to the Quarter Deck."Land Ho!"Over the days which she'd been at sea, she'd slowly grown accusto
- 124 Ra.s.sa had lost count of the amount of small Islands they'd past that morning. Some of the larger ones had small villages or farms, but most looked too small to have anything living on them. Still, the closer they got to Rouke, the more Islands there we
- 125 When the evening came and the cargo was unloaded as needed, Jorl wrapped an arm around Ra.s.sa's shoulders and steered him off the s.h.i.+p, Aegin and Ebony in tow."Where are we going?" asked Ra.s.sa."Primarily to get dinner," Jorl replied, "While w

- 127 Ra.s.sa woke the next morning with a smile on his face. The hunt the night before had been much easier than on the s.h.i.+p, and it had been satisfactory in ridding his mouth of the taste of skewers. No matter how good they tasted to Jorl, Aegin and Ebony
- 128 Ra.s.sa had spent most of the morning attempting to determine how best to go about his new task. A thousand gold may seem like a lot of money, but it would only go so far. Evanine Crystals sold for an average of fifty silver per kilogram. Cheap for a crys
- 129 "Let me get this straight," Jeremiah sighed as he looked at the warehouse stocked with crates of Evanine Crystals, "You spent four hundred gold to buy 55kg of Evanine Crystals, but they're all useless?""I did explain the concept of charged and uncha
- 130 It was curious, how Jeremiah came to know. Ebony knew there were observant people in the world, but she'd hardly been around Jeremiah ever since they'd met on the dock in Port Lovolon. The only explanation was that someone had told Jeremiah.Her first gu
- 131 Olly had spent his entire life bouncing between Islands. His mother had said that he was born on one of the uninhabited ones where she'd been dumped after his father got sick of her constant nagging and seasickness. A wh.o.r.e wasn't all that useful pre

- 133 A rap of knuckles on his office door disturbed Jeremiah from the current problem he had at hand. The same problem he'd debating on for the last several days. What to do about these Vanguard?With a sigh that seemed more a relief than frustration, Jeremiah
- 134 "Have you heard?""Heard what?""The incredible new product you can buy at the Rouke Markets?""You don't happen to mean the s.h.i.+eld no one can see that is generated from an Evanine Crystal?""Of course I do! Such an incredible product. I saw it
- 135 "What is he doing?""He's just standing there"."Didn't he say he'd buy this place?""Will we have to leave?""Of course we'll have to leave"."No, we won't, we'll just scare him off like all the others"."But-"Ra.s.sa didn't allude to the
- 136 The building at the back did not look quite as awful. That wasn't to say it wasn't destroyed, it was, but it left fewer things to the imagination when trying to picture how the original building looked.The ground floor was like any cla.s.sic style home.
- 137 When Ra.s.sa and Kit returned that afternoon, it was to find that those in residence at The Ruin had done their best to clean up the kitchen. Ra.s.sa and Kit handed out apples to the children who were more than shocked to realise that they were able to ea
- 138 Soup, skewers, stir fried vegetables, rice, bread, noodles...the list went on. Ebony had really prepared all out for a feast. Having thirty odd mouths to feed was quite the challenge, but Ebony had delivered. Upon seeing the food she'd immediately told R
- 139 By the fourth day of the Festival, Ra.s.sa had managed to help a.s.semble the first floor of The Ruin again. His ability to control shadow allowed him to not only store a bulk of materials, but also help to shape them and put them in place. Despite it bei
- 140 To all that looked at him, Ra.s.sa may have appeared handsome and dignified, but in truth he felt completely out of his element. He'd never worn clothing this expensive, and whilst it was all comfortable and light, it also smelt of money. Whilst coins ca
- 141 Ebony, taken aback by Ra.s.sa's behaviour, turned back to the Mistress of Apple Star Trading Company with an apologetic expression, "I'm so sorry, I don't know what's come over him-"The woman, who Ebony was quite sure was one of the most beautiful i
- 142 Ra.s.sa stalled for almost an hour after the designated time that Ebony had given him. He ran circles around the island, ducked in and out of shadows, anything to escape. But he ended up right back in front of the door to the small suite that had been giv
- 143 "I have recently purchased a building in Port Lace that I intend to use as my base of operation on Rouke Island," Ra.s.sa began, "I have also placed several staff there, including one that within the week will be capable of making the Protective Charms
- 144 The next morning, Ra.s.sa called Sharli, Kit, Iah, Aegin and Ebony to one of the spare rooms. The five individuals sat tensely on newly acquired furniture as Ra.s.sa rose from behind the desk and rounded it to place six charms on the table before them, on

- 146 "What do you mean they signed a contract with Startree?"From this less than impressed response, the informant could immediately tell that Lord Ishta Alamone was not happy with this news. The Informant silently cried that he couldn't change his informat
- 147 Ra.s.sa was nervous. He rarely felt that way now. It was a foreign feeling, one that unnerved him even more just because he was feeling it. Still, no matter how nervous or jittery he managed to get, he didn't regret making Falla sign the agreement before
- 148 'Diamond amongst Coal' was probably to generous in describing The Ruin. At least in Falla's opinion. But that wasn't to say that it didn't have potential. It was the best-looking place on the street, though the street was for all intents and purposes
- 149 Jeremiah, after nearly a month on the Island of Rouke, was itching to get back out on the open ocean. He'd had to deal with Griffith and all of the trade politics that came along with it. In essence, it was something he'd rather not deal with. Unlike al
- 150 If he was being honest, as soon as Ra.s.sa stepped into the Captain's office he was on the verge of turning right back around and walking out. He'd thought it prudent that the Captain know his condition, but talking about it...Ra.s.sa hadn't ever been
- 151 "Are you sure about this?" asked Ebony, "I really don't get why we'd need anything from there anyway. We're only going to be stepping on the toes of bigger and more powerful people if we bid on anything"."Who said anything about bidding?" asked A
- 152 Protests and exclamations of shock arose from the crowd quickly. This was a World-Cla.s.s Auction, how could Rouke Island allow their security to be so lax as to allow an item to disappear so quickly?"I've never seen anything quite like it," Falla frow
- 153 "So you have no idea who it was?" Falla asked the next morning as the group sat down for tea in the Ruin. The second floor had been completed, and construction of the third floor had begun. It was not quite comfortable inside the Ruin, just less than a
- 154 That afternoon, the last thing that Ra.s.sa came to check on was Kit. The young Shadow Magician had been working nearly non-stop on the projects that Ra.s.sa had given him. Frankly, many thought that it was unfair for Ra.s.sa to place so much strain on Ki
- 155 "Glad you could join us," Midas remarked as he welcomed the three of them on board, "I hear you're on night duty, Ra.s.sa, so best you get some sleep for the next couple of hours so we don't have you dozing off whilst on watch"."Aye, Sir," Ra.s.sa

- 158 Needless to say, Isaac and Tank's fight had ended quickly. It was clear that Isaac was at least an adequate fighter, but only against opponents of a similar size. Tank's enormous bulk was not to be laughed at, and Isaac certainly wasn't laughing when T
- 159 Ra.s.sa's fight was a little more antic.i.p.ated now that they'd seen Aegin's skills. The crew were just slightly disappointed when Jorl was selected to compete against Ra.s.sa, and the older sailor gracefully bowed out of the ring in surrender.As such
- 160 When Ra.s.sa woke up the next day, it was already evening. The storm had lasted a good four hours before it had calmed enough for the crew to retire once more. Even then it was not like they got much sleep with it still raining. Ra.s.sa retired about an h

- 169 Iah, Sharli and Kit all stared at the papers before them with noticeable frustration. It had only been a little over a week since Ra.s.sa, Ebony and Aegin had left, but they already wanted them to return. Despite appearances, Ra.s.sa was quite the patient
- 170 Despite the Trader's Festival having ended, Falla Startree's workload had not decreased in the slightest. If anything, it had grown larger. Moonshadow Trading Company might have been just starting out, but it's product was miraculous, and considering t

- 174 Lua and Lia knew they were in trouble as soon as the guards spotted them. Well, of course they knew they were going to be in trouble before that, what with them sneaking off and all, but they didn't know exactly how much until they realised that Kaesius,

- 183 Ra.s.sa was sure he'd been dead. Or at least stuck in the sub-death. All he remembered was the pounding pressure of the ocean, his fangs sinking through water and shadow, then endless darkness. He had no indication of how much time had pa.s.sed, nor what
