Gathering The Army

[Vrelt]

General Drask Darkfang had begun to assemble the pirates and corsairs for their departure to Riftgard. He did not want to go back to the fortress were he was born. He knew himself and his brother Vrelt were never really on good terms. He pushed thoughts of his younger brother out of his head and focussed on the task at hand. Two ships were ready to set sail, and the rest would be loaded soon. The Emperor had made him look after his slave Alden, a thing Drask did not enjoy.

Aiden stared at the group of creatures with wide, frightened eyes. They were all much larger than him and also heavily armed and tattooed, and other such things, which also frightened him.

[Vrelt]

Drask gathered ten of the strongest and smartest of the pirates, he formed them up and gave orders, "I want all of you to come with me to gather a force of monitors." He took the lead and marched his men to the monitor barracks.

[Wolfie]

Aiden followed them quickly and silently, although he was absolutely terrified. He hated being anywhere near the monitor lizards, and they didn't really like him either. He didn't want to go anywhere near them, but it looked like he had to.

[Vrelt]

Drask also hated the over sized lizards, in his opinion they were all stupid scum who didn't deserve to live. He slowed his pace to walk beside Aiden, he looked down at the young otter his gaze cold and uncaring, "You must not like the idiotic lizards either, right?"

[Wolfie]

Aiden looked up at the Captain with wide eyes and shook his head scaredly. No, I don't , Sir. They're really big an' scary. And they don't like me much.

[Vrelt]

Drask's icy blue eyes narrowed, "I don't like 'em either." He quickened his pace to stand at the head of his men as they approached the monitor barracks. Drask hated going anywhere near those barracks, they smelt of rotting flesh and was not a safe place to go.

[Wolfie]

Aiden stood close to him scaredly, but made sure that he was far enough away from his legs that he wouldn't be in his way. He knew the Monitor barracks weren't safe so he did his best to make it easy to run if necessary.

[Vrelt]

Drask opened the door to the barracks and strode in, his paw on his sword. He glanced around the dark room and stood to one side, the other pirates walked in behind him spreading out in front of the door. Drask narrowed his icy eyes and spoke to the monitors, "I want the 100 of the best of you to be geared up and ready to move out in two days. And I don't want any complaining about it." Drask glared at the monitors, and they started packing. He smiled wickedly and marched out of the barracks, the other ten pirates followed. Drask dismissed the others and turned toward the direction of the taverns. "Aiden, you come with me."

[Wolfie]

Aiden nodded and followed him quickly and gratefully out of the monitor barracks. He hated even thinking about the place, but actually going there was even worse.

[Vrelt]

OOC: Did you get my PM? We have to move this thread to the Crow's Nest.

Drask walked toward the taverns in a brisk pace. He hadn't been to The Crow's Nest in a while. Drask thought about what he wanted a nice cold glass of ale. He rested his paw on his sword, he hoped Aiden didn't try anything. He looked down at the young otter, "I hate those stupid lizards, don't you?"

[Wolfie]

Aiden was sitting in a stool next to Drask, and he nodded as he shuddered at the thought of going anywhere near those lizards ever again. If he never saw them again, it would be too soon in his mind. [OOC: Yeah, I got the PM.]

[Vrelt]

OOC: I'll post there now.

[Wolfie]

[OOC: Alright.]
