Jokan and Jocard stood behind the sleeping form of Emperor Teague. They were almost invisable because they were deep in the shadows. Jocard stepped forward and shook the sleeping form of Emperor Teague. "Sir Drask is coming with Alden and a weaselmaid." Teague looked at Jocard and nodded. Jocard went back into the shadows standing guard. Teague sat still the chair looking at the maps in front of him waiting for his guests to come in. He was in a strange good mood his blue eyes searching the maps.

Drask entered the room; still holding Moll, "Teague, I have found someone you might like to consider meeting." He shoved Moll in front of Teague and stood back, "She is a siege weapons designer. And she claims to be the daughter of the corsair Rawnwave. She may useful to you Teague." The ferret moved over beside Moll and held her by her shoulders; keeping her from trying to run.

"Does she know she is the heir the throne of Terramort? Can she build a seige weapon that can be part of my ship?" Teague was about to lose his good mood. He tried to keep a straight face. He moved his foot paw forward a few times. This was the signal for Jokan and Jocard to draw their small crossbows and be ready to fight.

Moll was looking down at her footpaws as she was shoved into the room but before she had even laid eyes on the Emperor she realized something that she had never known before, or maybe she had been told and had forgotten. The emperor was a male of her own species. She knew it by smell and pure animal instinct in this close proximity to him. The musk of him was intoxicating. Teague the assassin, Teague the terrible, Teague the Emperor of Sampetra was a weasel. Maybe the only male weasel on the island. But he wasn't just any male weasel. She knew by the feeling that coursed through her veins, this weasel was her perfect chemical mate. She looked up into his face and was rather surprised by the pure white fur and icy blue eyes. Those eyes at once held her and she could feel him probing her mind. An airy, weightless sensation came over her as he took control. And then the strong-willed weaselmaid fought back. Stop, she thought at him. Choose now! Will you take me as a puppet slave or let me come to you as a willing lover? If a slave, I swear one day I will break my bonds and lead every slave in a revolt against you. However, if you allow me to come freely, you will never doubt my loyalty. And then drained by the effort of resistance, Moll fell back into the comfortable blankness of his imperious stare, waiting for his answer.

Teague released his stare. "Lover? Slave? Revolt? What are ye thinkin?" Teague was in a good mood again. He got up and beckoned Jokan and Jocard forward. "Ye two will make sure she does nothing silly. Drask plot a route on that map over there to Salamandstron and Redwall Abbey." Teague was looking at the weaselmaid with interest.

Drask smiled wickedly, "And who's going to make me? You our your stupid guards? Cause I take orders from only one person; me." He looked at the two guards and rested his paw on his saber, "I really don't think you can do anything to make me plot another stupid map."

"So yore 'im? Yore the emperor? Y'can't be much older than me." She spat out now that she had regained control of her mind. Somehow knowing that he was a weasel like her made him a bit less scary. Now his guards that was a different story. She eyed their weapons warily and then her eyes returned to Teague. She studied him wondering if he would try to invade her mind again.

"Drask ye disobeying me? Too bad the weasel you brought here is now giving you orders. Plot the course or die Drask. I am ready to demote you to a mere solider. Bring her here." Teague ordered to his guards. Jokan and Jocard both put their weapons away and grabbed Moll forward. "Come sit." Teague told her pulling up a chair.

Drask nodded, "What do you think I'm doing? Bluffing? Well I ain't takin' orders unless you do something for me in return. You needed me to get you a queen cause nobody likes you. Like I said I take orders from me only." He smiled dangerously at Teague.

Moll considered refusing, saying she would rather stand but she was too curious about what Teague wanted. It seemed best to obey for the moment if she wanted to find out why it was she was really here. She sat silently in the chair and waited.

"You are my queen Moll. As for you Drask you are now a solider no longer the general around here. You can do what you like but I am sending you with your brother when we make the pact. Or I could throw you into the ocean where my brother would kill you." Teague looked deep into Drask eyes putting him under the hypnotic spell. "You will obey me" He said making sure it was true. Teague loved his gaze.

Drask saw it coming, he jumped backwards and fell down, holding his paw in front of his eyes, "Okay I'll make the map just don't do that anymore. It gets on my nerves." He stood up and walked over to the table, pulling out a map and he started charting a new course mumbling curses known only to pirates; the worst most vile kind of curses.

Moll's stomach dropped as did her jaw. When she regained the power of speech the exclamed, "'Ell's teeth! I ain't no queen! I pour drinks and wipe tables at the Crow's Nest. I don' know nufink about bein' a queen."

"Nerves good. I will do it as much as I like. You are queen because I make you. Your job at the crows nest is over. Now is there anything you want?" Teague glared at the ferret. He was very happy. He leaned twoards Moll and put his paw around her shoulder. He smiled and leaned back.

"I want my dagger and my flinger back. 'E took 'em from me," She pointed at Drask with a wicked grin. She was glad to see the ferret getting what was coming to him after the way he had treated her. "An' my cutlass and my clothes and things are at the Crow's Nest. Can I go back an' get 'em?" She was used to having to do things for herself and was prepared to go home pack up and carry everything herself back here to the fortress.
