       [ Thassa ]
       -Somewhere aboard a vessel that has been sighted near Lydius
       upon the green waters of Thassa.-
       says to ALL:
       Her serpents moved through the early morning mists like
       Ghost..The carved serpentine stems arched gracefully on the
       stern and bow…the Heads of dragons with bared teeth in a growl
       as if their eye were piercing the mist in search of victims…..
       She stood on the deck Looking Out over The Thassa… Not alot to
       see but the beauty of the Mornings first light Mixed with the
       fog that was slowly Lifting... In front of her was her serpents
       then her Merchant vessel followed by the rest of the fleet...
       her ship full of supplies ready to trade in the Port of Lydius…
       she Knew many a Merchant in the Home.. having done trade and
       working for the Families of her past......The Lady Nyah sailed
       in to View of the port... her Flags Flapping and dancing with
       the Breeze.....The Flag of Coultrain... Port Phenix and the
       House of despoiler... all scattered on the Highest masts ... her
       Body pushed firm against the rail.. as she allowed the sea
       breeze to blow the blonde locks about... That feeling of Freedom
       one of The Many things she Loved in life

       [ City Docks ]
       -Somewhere along the busy and sometimes chaotic docks of Lydius
       where people come and go in large numbers, and cargo is loaded
       and offloaded daily.-
       says to ALL:
       The Captain Called out for the sails to be Lowered and the Crew
       began the task at hand.... so much would happen Now and I had no
       say in any of it..... you could hear The oars move through the
       Holes and hit the surface of the water and soon the smell of
       sweat would fill the Air the sounds of oars moving on Over the
       water dragging the vessel towards the place that She would stay
       for The next while…..It had been a Long journey But the ship was
       full of members of the Home.. Needing passage back to the
       stronghold…. I had My Captains Second sort Those travelling back
       … so I was uncertain of numbers … Weather had been good just a
       couple of rough nights on the sea… Myself I was a Traveller and
       had no issues but my girl soraya was a little gee…nothing the
       healer could not fix when in port….
       The Main deck was alive with Excitement The port was inviting
       and One would only imagine what these sea Crew would get up to…
       in the distance the serpents slowed to a glide… the vessel
       danced the waves and I knew it would not be long and the Men
       would let loose to enjoy the welcome that would be offered from
       those on the docks… One by one each of the serpents docked and
       Tied off… there was a place for all..the docks were alive with
       people.. Busy doing what they did to earn there coins….My men
       tied off the smaller vessels as My Captain sailed "The Lady
       Nyah" in to port… I watched always amazed how he did it… But
       Pleased that She was safe once more….the rest of the fleet
       remained in the cove and in time skeleton crew would tend the
       ships while the serpents ferried the passengers to shore

       where people come and go in large numbers, and cargo is loaded
       and offloaded daily.-
       says to ALL: The plank was Lowered... I waited for the captain
       to allow me off the ship... I took from him the Map he gave me
       of the port.. so I would not get lost at all... Two Guards
       rather tall Torvie men waited on the docks below to Escort Me
       any Place I needed to go...For Now I was uncertain of my duties
       here as the foreign exchange.. so I would improvise for Now and
       speak with The Commander when I came to Meet with him… as I
       moved down the Plank I watched quietly… taking in all I could
       watching of course for anything That would concern me at all….
       My girl soraya was close now.. still feeling worse for ware .. I
       said nothing to her… it would be interesting to see How her sea
       legs would handle the land…I did smirk a Little at the thought….
       ,br> She wore a Blue skirt and a white tunic today with a jerkin
       of brown Leather … her belt circled the small Waist and was
       filled with the many keys that she used in the warehouses of her
       own home……her blonde hair pulled to one side and braided to keep
       her appearance tidy…. under her skirt she wore leathers she was
       unsure of the dress code that the Commander expected of the FW
       here in The stronghold… But she was a merchant and would dress
       to How she thought was acceptable… she carried a belt dagger
       rested at the curve of her Back hidden from View…In her boot she
       had a small killing knife sheathed and secured but easily
       accessible…

       -Within the office of the Habourmaster of Lydius tasked with
       overseeing the safety and maintenance of the city habour and
       docks.-
       says to ALL: soraya Passed her the huge fur she wore it was a
       selection of the ver pelts she was breeding from the girls had
       sewn them all to make this fine Looking Fur… many commented and
       this enhanced the sale of Many of the new line of ver Essa had
       produced from her Breeding program…. and in one Moment it was
       over her shoulders and secured with the Broach that belonged to
       her Sister Essa…. she gripped the rail as she Made way from the
       ship… slowly her boots would Move over the surface…again she
       would watch the docks….as she Moved to the wooden surface she
       stopped and waited on her girl.. soon she also made it to the
       docks…. The two guards moved Over towards me and nodded
       slightly.. I moved in front of them and began to stroll the dock
       Looking to the stalls of fresh produce and trinkets as I went…
       was not long and I came across the Harbour Masters office and
       waited for the Moment he was speaking with some others on
       certain Deals and things.. Oh I listened for I wanted to hear on
       certain items I knew would be going up for sale here in the
       port… certain goods that had left The markets un be-known to
       many…the girls moaned slightly and ran off to the edge of the
       docks to be sick.. I shook my head slightly she will have to fix
       that soon enough….for we would be travelling some in her life
       time with me…..
       Was then the harbour Master Moved out of his office and offered
       me a smile.. I looked Him over ..I had Never met Him… a well
       rounded chap… his belly bigger then I had seen in many a year..
       Must be well off OR has a very good slave who fills him with
       food…
       <br>"Tal I am Lady Nyah Merchant of Port Phenix and here to work
       with and for The Commander of The stronghold… The Lady Nyah
       merchant ship is docked"
       …..I turned and pointed in her direction and smiled She was a
       grand vessel……I knew he was well aware of her presence….
       "Also I have 4 ships in the cove and 4 serpents ready to ferry
       The people from the Love wars back here to the docks….I may need
       your permission to do so?" I waited to see what he had to say
       He didn't speak but pushed past me and looked Over the ship "the
       Lady Nyah" I had to smile I could tell he was impressed….he
       turned….
       She is huge I should get good docking fees…" and I stepped up
       along side him and smiled…. he held That long grey Beard…..
       "I am told The Commander of the Stronghold will be paying for
       the fleet of ships I have bought with me" he looked to me and
       frowned….
       "So I have been told Sir".. and with That he stomped one boot to
       the wooden dock and moved back in to His office…I just remained
       there and smiled till I knew he was out of my sight

       -Within the office of the Habourmaster of Lydius tasked with
       overseeing the safety and maintenance of the city habour and
       docks.-
       says to ALL: of course I had had no such conversation with The
       Commander re my Fleet... But for Now the dock master didn't Know
       That.. and well... I could discuss payment and deals with The
       man I am here to Work for... this being our first dealings....I
       rubbed my small hands together it was cold then turned and Moved
       to The harbour masters Office door.....Some of these men hated
       to deal with a Woman...... as Much as they were Good merchants
       they were women... and to some men that was bad enough as it
       was... I was uncertain of this mans views on such... I could
       just hope my repartition was known and would only judge me on
       that....either way I was Not concerned.....
       "May I enter?" I asked quietly his back now to me as he lent
       over his desk.. I took the time to look round that office before
       he turned.. taking in the place before I would be inside with
       This man
       "Yes yes of course I need your signature" he said as he waved
       his hand for me to enter
       ….. I motioned to the Guards to let me go alone but One remained
       at the door… then I closed it… I moved to my right and waited
       for the Man to finish what he was doing.. he then turned and
       Looked to Me…."How Long are you here Lady Merchant"
       I had to smile…."Nyah Coultrain " I offered My Name again and
       gave him a slight smile….
       "I am thinking 2 hands unless arrangements are agreed upon by
       the Commander and myself….." he nodded as my eyes looked to the
       pile of paper work on the Mans desk…."The Port is Busy" I asked…
       he looked straight at me…"yes it is"
       "good then I must make sure when My time here is done that I
       shall visit to do Business once again if of course i am allowed…
       I would have ample goods for trade and sale…. What would it cost
       me to rent a warehouse from you?" he turned round and sat back
       against his desk…….
       "I would have to Put the request to the merchants here .. you
       will need some sort of recommendation from A worthy person to
       gain the rights to rent such space.. you see woman There be many
       a merchant Many a Person who may need that exact same space"
       ….His beady eyes Looked me over…I ignored his stare and Moved to
       walk round the room
