Acacia lent over the side of the ship, staring down into the waters that now rushed slowly passed. Laughter came from the far side of the ship; she looked up momentarily to see Jythralo and some of the crew with Adeline. Her captain took a deep drink from the bottle held loosely in his hand; she turned away and looked out to sea.
It was good to be back, it felt so natural so good. She had longed for the days when she would return to sea, and now she had. It was, just so.....
"Acacia!"
"Yes?" she said turning wearily to the voice. Being parted from her thoughts had more than slightly annoyed her.
"Acacia, " Jythralo lent next to her looking out to sea for a second, " feels good doesn't it?" She nodded back, but stayed silent. " Soon we will have victory and...."
".....Umbar will be ours...." She smiled.
"Aye, indeed it will. But first I think we need to plan."
"But of course!"
The two walked to Jythralo's cabin. Various maps littered the tables. Acacia could see that he had already been busy; she walked slowly around the table looking closely at the maps.
"We are here." Acacia nodded.
"So we will make our way along here?"
"Yes, best thing to do. Raid a couple of villages while I can come up with a fool proof plan."
Acacia nodded. Finally.
