Lukas sighed as he watched Steven with what was left of his crew. He was feeling about the same himself. They’d lost a lot of good men today, some of whom Lukas counted as family. As much as he’d like to sit and mourn, he had work to do. The injured needed to be seen to and supplies found to repair the damage done to The Emerald Queen. He’d moved the girl from the mast earlier, but he was beginning to become concerned. She still hadn’t come round. He knew Valeria had knocked her out, he only hoped she hadn’t hit her too hard. Head wounds were tricky. Sometimes the smallest injury could cause the worst damage.

Not comfortable leaving her up on deck amongst all the carnage, he gently untied her and took her below. Putting her behind bars didn’t feel right; although he couldn’t let her roam free either. Turning left, he passed Valeria’s quarters and down the hall to his own. He laid the girl down on the bed and smoothed her hair away from her face. She looked peaceful, but he also knew what she could do. If she morphed down here, she’d split the ship in two. Valeria would murder him when she found out. He also knew she wouldn’t want the girl up there either. For all her tough exterior, Valeria had a heart bigger than the whole of DeCadia itself.

He’d brought ropes down with him and wasted no time in securing her to the bed. As much as Lukas wanted to leave her free, he couldn’t. She could escape and cause all sorts of havoc. The damage done by the last dragon he’d met up close and personal still haunted him. As much as this girl inspired his protective instincts, he wouldn’t let that blind him to what she was capable of.

Locking the door behind him, Lukas went in search of his captain. He knocked on her door and waited for the muffled reply to enter. Her cabin was lit by the sunlight streaming through the massive hole in the side of the wall. The repairs were going to be extensive and it would be a week or more before they could continue. Valeria was not going to like hearing it. He winced mentally at all the bad news he had to impart upon her, especially about Tobias.

“Lukas, come see these,” she said, her back to him. She was looking over a mess of maps spread out on the table in front of her. She wore her normal pirate gear; black boots that laced up well-past her knees, a black pair of shorts that hugged her hips and upper thighs, and white shirt beneath a deep emerald vest. The mask she donned hid the entire upper portion of her face. She truly looked like the pirate Emerald of The Emerald Queen, holy terror of the skies. She was magnificent.

Curious as to her excitement, he walked to stand beside her and his eyes widened. The maps in front of him were unlike any he’d ever seen before.
