The next few days passed without incident though anytime Ash or Tina left the church they were followed by knights as well as the city guard. Ash knew that the guard was only looking for a chance to grab him but with the knights around that chance never presented itself.

Soon the day came for them to board the Unity with Jaren, which was located in the east docks. Jaren had sailed with the captain of the Unity who was named Thorn many times over the years and seemed to know the man well. The captain was a believer in the goddess of the harvest and unlike many of the sailors worshipped her over the god of the sea. This was because Thorn had been born to two farmers. When he was just a teen he had left home but he had never forgotten his parents or his heritage and thus the reason that Jaren had a standing job in presiding over the safety of the ship.

The port area of the town was much different than the rest of the city. It was spaced out farther and was mostly filled with storage buildings. The shops that did exist were tailored toward sailors or ship captains. Most of which were bars and brothels with not the best of merchandise either in ale or women or in some cases boys. The ship was anchored to the second to last pier in the dock. It was a slightly larger ship than those anchored around it and had five masts standing tall in the air. The ship itself was made of a dark purple wood that almost seemed to shine in the sunlight and from the ports on the side of the ship Ash could see large broad tip arrows sticking out from ballista. Thanks to the laws of the god of war gun powder had not been developed so much of warfare was done blade to blade instead of from afar.

As they approached the long ramp that led up to the deck of the ship a man in his late thirties yelled down at them. “Jaren I didn’t think you were going to make it this trip,” the man yelled loudly. “The boys said that they didn’t see you in any of the shops. I thought that the old priest of yours had finally nailed you down when he learned that most the bastards running around the dock district belonged to you.”

Jaren coughed awkwardly and looked toward Ash and Tina but when he saw neither of them seem bothered by the news he just gave a slightly strained chuckle. “I don’t think I have that claim. Your first mate easily has twice as many little runts running around than I do. Not to mention none if my church would fault me from sowing my seeds. As long as I tend to them when the weather is harsh which I figure I do by visiting their mothers from time to time with more coin.”

The man on the ship gave a long and hardy laugh.
