"Were I dead and gone, along with the rest of the army that went North, well, what you lot have done would be the smart thing, gobbling up as much of the coast as we can. But the army survived. More importantly, two dragons survived. Farwynd keeps this shit up, and, sooner or later, the Iron Fleet will be little more than a layer of ash drifting on the waves. I don't much want to see that happen to my fleet."

Burk nodded, "So what is your plan exactly? Too sink the fleet in an effort to kill him." He barked a laughed, "Does not matter how we die if at the end of both paths is death."

Ragnor shrugs. "First, I was thinking I'd talk to him. Get the man to see reason. Do we have any ravens, or will I need to send someone?"

"Suppose I will, then, but not alone. How many ships have we got left here, and how many men to crew them?"

"Are we talking about escorting you to see Farwynd, because I doubt any of the other captains want to sail as an escort." Burk snarled, "You think a great deal of yourself."

"I just don't want to look like a pauper." Ragnor answers with a shrug. He turns to those lords whose minds have been left intact and tells them, "You lot are to make for your islands, and send back reports on the state of things on them. Any ships you can spare, I want them in Lordsport within the week."

The lords with him nodded and left immediately.
Burk cursed, and then smiled.

"Fine. But let's say it does come to blows with your...cousin? Should I even bother pretending that you'll fight for me?"

Burk shook his head, "Probably fucking not. No offense, but he is a better commander then you. And he earned his spot, it was gifted on him by marriage, or some useless queen."
