<br/>After all were settled in their quarters Chloe was presented a letter by Aodh.<br/><br/>After breaking its wax seal and reading it twice she passed it around to the two guardians and the druid and waited a moment for its contents to sink in.<br/><br/>"Naming me as leader is strange. I have shown more recklessness than any of you and I don't feel for a moment I am superior,<br/>I believe the choice is cultural and mission purpose only. I have charming spells and a tonge that can convince some people of virtues that serve our interest, so me being deemed so is helpful to ensure help when we need it."<br/><br/>When addressed she tried to look regal but knew she must fail at least in some ways with them all knowing what they did<br/><br/>"Aodh, you are a masterful speaker and many of the acolydes quote you and adored you as a teacher of the world, none did me for a reason. I see you all as equals and if you all agree to the order decision I will endevour to put my personal values aside to ensire you safety and the success of the mission."<br/><br/>She then pulled her hair as she often did when nervous<br/><br/>"Whatever wild magic is in this case, I have no doubt that it will burn me to cinders or worse if I beleive I can absorb it or control it. I may be foolish but Im not stupid. I want it where the order deems its best placed for good reasons and purpose as soon as possible. The longer we have it the more its a curse not an honor to be its bearer. But apparently rushing it to its home isnt enough, Karin and Weaver seem friends who may be in trouble. We need to do this for we may find ourselves in the same situation. If we do succeed in the mission and are granted titles and estates I will push for it to be split evenly between the four of us."<br/><br/>The captain would talk to the group when the captain wished. He was being polite enough not to impose rules or prinicipals when on his ship immediately, manners best returned.<br/><br/>"I am without gold, bargaining powers, I grow in power in some regards but I fear without gold options are more luck based than what we need. I wish they gave us more equipment, or something to help this leg of the quest, I have spent most of what I have just getting us here"<br/><br/>She looked to all eyes seeing mixed expressions.<br/><br/>"Lets talk more in the morning if any of you wish it. I have had little sleep, none here have all busy seeing to staying alive. My apologize for how I spoke of rest before, my mind and sense I hope will recover with what sleep brings"<br/><br/>After all had read the message Chloe placed it in her scroll case and quilled two more letters, one informing the captain of their destination, and another elegantly requesting the order to consider creating a returning throwing dagger for Sethi for what she did saving the orders santury. Both letters she sealed with wax and presented it to a sailor to hand it to the captain, perhaps the captain can deliver the other message to an order representative at the next port.<br/><br/><div align="center">*<br/></div><div align="center">(http://alexanderjamesstockphotography.com/admin/photos/Deck-of-a-boat-6943.jpg)</div><br/>A minute after the letters were quilled Chloe became asleep in the hammock soundly almost moment her eyes closed. What the others did was far away and a cascade of surreal dreams didn't clarify matters. Hours later she awoke and after stretching exited onto the decking near the bow of the ship. Sailing was slow, the wind not far from still, still the ship moved, crawling its way to its destination. If the captain received the Orders instructions and acted on them it was anyones guess, if he would deliver the letter Chloe wanted to give the order for reward and better equipment for the guardians at the next port ? Again another unknown.<br/><br/>
