says to ALL:
Everyone that was left had boarded the ships .--The Lady Nyah--
took Women and Families as Passengers But the Rest of the fleet
Carried The last of the Men of Minus as they prepared to Leave
the docks…the journey back to Venna… would Take several days
The fog they were travelling through would soon break and there
would be much to see…Nyah held on to the wooden rail and looked
out into the fog.She was used to mornings like this … but she
wondered what would be beyond that fog today ..the day was
cloudy and grey…The ship soon broke free of the fog and sailed
smoothly out to sea.. you could see in the distance The Fleet of
3 ships in front and behind 4 ships remained far enough back to
remain in sight….Her Flags Waved in the Breeze proudly…..The
captain moved over The deck towards her.. the sounds of the Oars
hitting the water and Pulling Hard over the surface of the Seas…
"Any News" I asked as I turned slowly to face The Captain of My
vessel…..
"None as of yet…But anything to do with the Business of Minus
would go to the Officers on board The other ships Nyah Not us"…
he smiled and I then Looked back to the fleets that followed
us….
"All Women and children are well?" he asked as He too moved to
lean against the rails of the ship….
"Aye I have a few who are sick with the waters roughness but
Nothing that the healers cant tend to …other then the winds from
last night The trip is going well…"

says to ALL: The incoming tide could be felt far up the Vosk and
helped the rowers make headway into the current, which was mild
due to the low gradient. The vosk's mouth was well welcomed, The
land on the sloping shore to the east was green with lush
vegetation.
Vatson, who was standing with his arm around the great dragon
prow of the lead ship, gazing through the dying mist into the
distance, pointed to a shadow in the steep rock palisades
looming around a slight bend. 'Pull toward the left bank,' he
ordered the rowers. '

[ The Vosk River ]
-Somewhere along the mighty Vosk River.-
says to ALL: The serpents headed towards shore line
'There looks to be an opening in the cliffs where we can shelter
for the night.'
As they drew closer, the dark, forbidding entrance of a
flooded cavern grew in size until it broadened wide enough for a
ship to enter. Vatson peered into the gloomy interior and saw
that the passage traveled deep under the sheer walls of the
cliff. He ordered the other ships to drift while the mast on his
ship was unstepped and laid flat to permit entry beneath the low
arch at the cavern's mouth. The stream swirled around the
entrance, but the hardy rowers easily drove the ship inside,
shipping the oars only slightly to keep them from striking the
flanks of the opening.
As they passed through, the women and children leaned over the
bulwarks and stared down through water, schools of fish clearly
visible swimming over the rocky bottom nearly fifty feet below.
The chamber was mostly dry. The water level stopped at a ledge
and stretched into the inner reaches of the cavern.

says to ALL: Vatson shouted through the entrance for the other
ships to follow. Then each rower eased off their strokes and let
the serpent drift until its stem post bumped lightly against the
edge of the second cavern's floor. As the other serpents
approached the landing, long gangplanks were run out and
everyone scurried onto dry land, happy to stretch their legs for
the first time in days. The foremost matter of business was to
serve the first hot meal they'd eaten since an earlier landing
hundreds of miles to the north. The children spread out
throughout the caverns to gather driftwood, running along the
shelves carved in the rock. Soon the women had fires going and
were baking bread, and fish stew in large iron pots. Some of the
men began repairing the wear and tear on the ships , while
others threw out nets and caught fish from the waters. The women
were only too happy to find such comfortable shelter from the
elements. The men, on the other hand, were big, tousle-haired
outdoorsmen and sailors who found it unpleasant to exist in
rock-bound confinement.
the Serpents were settled for the night the Larger fleet of
ships Put down anchors and you could hear the sounds of the men
on each Ship talking and singing as day became Night ..the smell
of food cooking and the sounds of silence slowly came to rest as
the Night sky settled and covered The fleet and the men Readying
for the days a head…lanterns were softened and the skeleton Crew
took there places ready for any happenings that Might occur over
the night
