The Southern Flame sailed around the buff of the bay and worked its way through the water towards the ports of Tritern. There were some massive war-ships sitting in the docks, but others were elsewhere on whatever duties they had been entrusted with.
The day was overcast and a light drizzle rained upon the sails of the Flame, but Alessio didn't let it down his spirits, this day may very well be a proud and happy one in history.
"We're here Maccenna!" He called down to the Lieutenant with the sailors. He turned the wheel a little and aimed the ship for one of the larger docks nearer to the Royal House.
"We won't be here for too long although. If we've been followed I don't want to bring Tritern under attack like Racana was," that day still remained strong in his memories. "Just long enough to speak with the new ruler and decide upon our future..."

Maccenna's head swung around the base of one of The southern Flame's three massive sails on the forecastle deck. She quickly finished retieing a rope that had needed to be adjusted on the forestay sail, and then started toward him. She was glad to be on a ship again and doing the common duties of any sailor or pirate.
When she came to the the quarter deck, she stopped. When she had first enlisted as a crew man on her first ship, she was taught never to step upon the quarter deck without the captain's permission. She had learned it the hard way, and would never forget that given law that did not need to be wrote down. She looked up to the raised platform where Khalora contoled the large vessel, his hands upon the shrouds of the wheel.
"Aye Captain. And to what side will we be docking? To port or to starboard? Or are we going to anchor?"
She waited for her captain's reply and for his command.

Khalora pointed out beside the Flame, "On the starboard! Hang on! I'll pull her around to face out of the bay! Just in case we need to make a quick escape!"
He swung out to port a little to turn back to starboard again in a large u-turn almost. "Raise the sails Lieutenant, and get the ropes ready to pull us in!" It was good to be back in Tritern again, the city of the pirates. It was quite an elegant city, despite its history.
From where he was he could see the Royal House up on the nearest hill. There were new banners hanging from the rampants. They weren't Amory's, but they didn't give Alessio any indication of whose they might be. He pushed the thought away and finished the turn, waiting to be docked...

Immeadiately, the sailors set about- maccenna along with them. She climbed nimly up the the main mast, that of which she was closest to. When she reached the galf, the upper arm of the main sail, she poistioned her feet on some of the ships intricate rigging to maintain balance and along with four others began to pull and fold the the cloth that made the main sail. When the canvas was folded upon the galf, Maccenna found the tiny stips of rope hanging from it and began to tie the sail firmly to the pole. When she was done, she climbed down the main mast and headed for the starboard deck. She grabbed a rope criss corssed against the many rigging pegs that would line the sides of a ship and retied it into a firm not befor throwing the rest of the rope over the side and letting it unflurl to the dock below.
She watched, her head handing over the edge, as others grabed the ropes and tied them in the tight criss cross docking knot. She waited for Khalora at the starboard side, wonder if would be bringing his horse and asked. "I s it alright if I come with you?I want to see who my leader is supposed to be..."

The ship slowed dramatcially as the ropes strained against its weight and the Flame came to an easy halt in the docks, easily the most attractive ship in the port, glittering with golden-green wood, starkly compared against the brown and black ships of the pirates.
Khalora locked the wheel in place and walked down the steps towards where the crew was waiting. "Lieutenant, you're coming with me," he noted to Maccenna, besides the fact that she wanted to, it was her position anyway. He fastened a cloak of deepest blue around his neck, thinking that his golden robes would suffice for a royal presence. He turned to the the sailor who had been given the position of Master Sergeant in Geddo's absense. "Keep the men here for now, after we've spoken with the Pirate Lord I'll send you word of our next move."
He wondered if he would need a guard, but then a better idea came to him. "Sergeant, I'd like to bring my bear with me." He had caught the massive black beast not long after Achilles' death, and instead of killing her, he had had a better idea.
She was a much more powerful bodyguard these days compared to the men he commanded, and far more terrifying. At present she was below deck, for it was only safe for her down there as this was her first time on a ship...

Geddo saw the ship dock at the bay, and he went to the port alone. He didn't need a body gaurd, if it was who he thought it was, then he would persanly see to it that they are escorted into town. He doubted the southerners where goign to betray their allience with the pirates. He had a gift he wanted to give Khalora. It was going to be Amroy's armor, but she had disappeared and he had been elected leader. So, he wanted to modify the basilisk armor and give it to Khalora. He walked onto the deck and waited for Khalora to come out of the ship.

Maccenna looked oddly at Khalora. A bear? Well that was a new surprise. She wondered if he had even managed to tame the creature yet, but then decided to push the thought away as she saw a familiar figure walk down to the dock where Southern Flame was fastned tightly to it.
"I don't think we will be needing your bear," she said as she recognized Geddo. He seemed to have an air about him and a thought suddenly struck Maccenna. It all seemed to fit. IT was why Geddo had not showed up, why they were not notified of his absense from the deck. He must have become the new Pirate King after Amoury. It all made perfect sense.
"I think Gedo is our new King... Well mine anyway." she added.
She gave a wide grin to Geddo who looked very small from where they stood. She was ready to congradulate him on his new position. It did not seem that the alliance of the Pirate and the Southerners would be threatened afterall.
He was the crew Sergent of Khalora's ship, and he never showed a dislike for southerners.
OOC: akk! Bad post! Sorry!

Khalora looked down at where Maccenna was indicating just as Bakana leapt up through the deck floor and landed heavily on deck, growling loudly and stretching her thick black arms and legs, yawning. Alessio smiled, relieved to see that she could travel on a ship well.
"Come Bakana!" He called to the bear, but it didn't come straight away. Khalora still had some training to do. "Geddo!" He called down the pirate lord as he walked down the gangway towards the heavily embellished warrior. He knew now there was no reason to fear the end of their alliance. Bakana followed obediently now, seeing Alessio leave.
He clasped the pirate on the back, "Its good to see you again Geddo. I almost feared the worst." He took a moment to take in the sight of him. "Pirate Lord! You've made a fair promotion from Master Sergeant," he laughed, overwhelmed to know that the Pirate army was still in good hands.
Bakana came up and started prowling around the area, sniffing at the stone walls and baskets. "I wish you luck with this Geddo, its great to know you've taken the mantle..."

Maccenna followed Alessio off the ship and onto the deck. She was astounded by the way Geddo had just suddenly rose from his lesser positions to rule the pirates. The only thing she could say was "Thankyou."
Her eyes followed the captain's bear with intense curiosity, as she waited for the two others to begin their conversation. She felt it was her place as the two leaders spoke together and melted into the background. Having noting better to do, she decided to follow Bakana.

"Aye, it will be a tough job, I just wish I knew what happened to Amory." He sighed. He pulled out something that at first glance looked like a snakes skin. "This was going to be amory's but I modified it so that you can have it." geddo hands over all the pieces of the Basilisk armor. "Leggings, Armor, cuplinks, The works. Here you go king." He said. "Sorry I didn't make it to the ship, but I was kinda busy helping one of my own escape the navy. She is a strong person and capable of alot. You should meet her sometime. Her name is Morwen. I suggest staying out of the diamend city for a while." He said with a laugh.

Kenric glanced around. He did not want to intrude the conversation the two Kings were having. He being only part of the crew, Kenric bent over the railing and waited until he heard a pause in Geddo's laugh. "Captain Khalora, sir." He nodded his head up to catch his attention. "'Scuse me, but who would you like to stay with the ship and what are the orders in case those stupid stalkers," meaning the Navy,"come back again?" Kenric was sure everyone here hated the navy, so he had no problem talking behind their backs. Kenric also didn't mean to be listening in on the conversation, but when Geddo sayed something about Diamond City, he was curious to know what happened. Morwen... He had never heard of her name before. Kenric added in another question before anyone could answer. "By the way, who leads the Navy now?" So many questions popped into his head, but he didn't want to be rude and ask to many.
(ooc- Kenric is here! yay! Lol. Uh... because he is just a crew member, he can be in the crows nest? But IDK, whateva is good.)

Khalora accepted the armour gratefully. It didn't look as bulky as the platemail he wore now. Of course, as fitting for his army, he would have to get it sheened and died green and gold, but it was by far a brilliant gift, one which he truly needed.
"Thank you Geddo. This will go to great use." He nodded his head at the king. "I believe I've met a young Morwen before. In the diamond city as chance would have it, in the Grandview Gauntlet." He reminised the night clearly, "Yes, she caused me quite a bit of trouble that young pirate," he smiled at the thought of her. "But a keen warrior I'm going to assume, if it warrants the personal saving of thr Pirate Lord."
He heard Kenric's voice down from the crow's nest and looked up, shading his eyes against the sun's bright light. He looked around, trying to see where Maccenna and Bakana had dissappeared to. They'd probably gone down an alley somewhere, or Bakana had gone in search of food. She'd be back soon. "I know that their Supreme Lord has passed away, but I'm not sure who their new leader is, if they have one at all. Do not fear, they won't attack here. At the heart of Teer. Not even the navy is that' foolish."
Alessio turned back to Geddo, "Speaking of which, we need to decide our next move in this war... My lord," he added with a grin...

He sighed. "Yes, i guess we should." He said returning Khalora's grin. "So, where is your new body gaurd? That bear of yours looks mighty tough." He said with a small chuckle. "I am waiting to find a wolf myself but then again,an animal can be more reliable then a person." He said with a laugh. He turned to one of the luitenents. "Prepare the war chamber for me and my guests please." He said as the luitenent ran off to follow orders. "Yes, the armor will come in handy and save your life, it sure has saved mine." He said with a grin.

Khalora nodded, indicating the armour. "I'll have it dyed as soon as I can." He glanced at Geddo's lieutenant. "I'll bring my Lieutenant with me, and a representative from the crew."
He turned back to the streets and called out in a loud, bellowing voice which carried across the narrow streets and marketplace, "Bakana!" There was a loud chinking somewhere off in the distance and within the space of a minute the bear came lumbering around the corner of a building, some sort of meat dripping from her mouth. She stood up on her hind legs, easily dwarfing Khalora.
"Maccenna shouldn't be far behind," he said to Geddo. "Oh, would I be stepping too far if I asked if it was possible for a suit of armour similar to this to made for Bakana?" He had the intentions of his bear at heart, and he felt uncomfortable at the thought of him being safe in battle and her not.
"Kenric! You'll be joining us in the war chambers! Quickly, get down here! Tell the master sergeant to hold the ship here until we return."

Kenric nodded to all the orders and replied, "Aye Captain Khalora." He jumped up and over the railing, gripping the rope that wiggled in the wind. His hands grew blisters by the plenty, but he had gotten over the pain. He slid down, landing upon the deck of the Southern Flame. He took large strides to a small door, pressing his blistered hands agaisnt what resembled a knob. He swung the door open and jumped inside. He spoke briefly to the sergeant, and found his way back to the light of (i think we are in Teer, right?) Teer.
Kenric was now standing next to Khalora. "All orders have been carried out, sir." He did not want to interupt Geddo and Khalora, and stepped back a little for room.
