the ship docked and we were all herded off onto the sand where we were told to line up facing the buildings as Buster came and looked us all up and down a man came across the sand he held a clip board in one hand a pen in the other Buster motioned him over the man whispered something into Busters ear and buster whispered something back

"yes your highness" said the man

as he walked up the line but took a step back he might have been scared by the appearance of the men whose clothes were all torn and some were stained with blood. but it was hard to tell because he was small there fore very jittery he walked up the line he stopped at me and his face turned red as he walked closer and beckoned me to come out of the line we were almost the same hight and I was very short on my opinion but compared to other women I was not that small he leaned over into my ear

"are you their maid or slave?" he said "because if you are these men seem a little worse for ware"

"I most certainly am not" I said in a voice that was loud enough for the entire line of men to hear "I'm pretty sure these men are old enough and ugly enough to dress and feed themselves"

the crew smiled as I stepped back into line my head held high and one hand on my hip the man looked to Buster

"she does that" he said shrugging "she says what she pleases when she pleases with no consent to what I or any body else says she is the captain after all"

I nodded then paused and looked in his direction my eyes darkening with anger he smiled

"I know I'm going to pay for that one later" he said

still smiling the man took another step back and looked the line up and down and he pointed to some men like Gallent, Khan, Gero, ect and told them to step over to the left which they did without argument next he pointed to the rest of the men and told them to stand to his right then he told them to follow him and they did and the only person left was me I looked on in confusion

'did I miss something?' I thought 'or was this deliberate?'

Buster walked over to me as I stared after the others he tapped me on the shoulder

"follow me" said Buster

he began to walk at a slow pace so I could keep up. The town was made up of mainly concrete structures I saw the others up ahead and felt like quickening my pace I had never been away from a crowd for 14 no wait 15 years and could not stand being this much of a distance away from them it was a good fifteen minutes before we met up with them at a draw bridge to a massive castle

"whoa" I thought

it was bigger then the one back at Allen Burg the narrow draw bridge lowered over a deep ditch every one walked across without a care

"just don't look down" said Buster I looked back at him arching an eyebrow

"why?"

"It's best if I don't tell you" he told me smiling

I bit my lip and took a step forwards with a nudge from Buster I stopped then looked down

"I knew you would do that" said buster I jumped back it was full of water
