       secured it.. and I was well aware of all dangers that came with
       Moving a Caravan of great wealth along one of The Busiest paths

       the Next day the barges moved down the river setting out for The

       Bubba would continue along the Vosk towards Cos…then as time
       allowed continue along the Vosk until we reached them again…We
       would probably be 2 days behind but once on the way Back from
       where we were to Travel we would catch up quick enough…
       "Make sure to get the shipment to The Port..if I do Not Meet you

       to see The ruins of My Old Home in Sulport …It was quiet and
       still I had managed to find a Property that was far enough away
       from The City ….. very few ever came this far… so I knew for a
       short time I was safe….I didn't bother going near the burnt
       ashes of my home but turned back to the Men In My Serpent and
       called one of the crew to come with me and help… he jumped in to
       the ankle deep water and made way towards me….
       "we have Little time But That is all we need…"
       and with that… We moved along the sands and I would -stop- and

       hope that the rope I had left would still be Tied to the Bushed
       area….. and as I pushed past the first line of long grass and
       Messy bushy plants Ahead I saw the rope…. linked to the bush and
       undergrowth..Fine hemp rope used for fishing nets…I knew it
       would last in the weathers… and I turned to the Crew Man and
       motioned to the rope…….as I pulled on the rope The Bush then
       pulled On the next bush which would Lift the undergrowth and
       expose the spot where the good s had been buried…anyone seeing
       This ropes would think they were old fishing nets tangled In the
       scrub… I got to My knees and began to dig in the very spot….I
       was short of time…I had No clue if we had been seen and How Long
       it would take for soldiers to come to find out who we were ….but
       then again I was not sure if Sulport Had even survived the war……

       and barges…. we would be Now only a Few Pasangs Behind…..with
       luck we would group together and soon be on route to Home
       The sounds of The Men in The serpents cheered to see the last
       serpent catching up from behind…it was us and up ahead were my
       Men safe so far with the Travels…We would pass Ven by lunch and
       Then Turmus ….
       We had made our way for hundreds of pasangs, River barges and
       serpents travelling along the Vosk A head The vosk would start
       to Break apart into its shallow… shifting channels ….My Men
       knowing the route well….making way on towards The Thassa, Once
       again The ships would Break up The fleet sailing Home to The
       Port and I would stop in to See The Captain of Thasos
       Tiberius.....
