'We're sorry sir. We're just trying to reach Aestorica and we'd like to use your boat." Zastros said apologetically. "I'm Zastros and this is hessper. We'll gladly pay for passage if you'll take us" The stoat looked at them and smiled slightly. " Alright, I'll take you two there. But It will cost you 5 destas a day per passenger. " Zastros nodded. 'what's your name sir?' Me'names Saberwort. Used to be a corsair, but got out of the business. Too many stoats in it for power and loot. Now I just sail the seas, some' with passengers, and it pays well. Now hop aboard" Saberwort got on the boat followed by Zastros, hessper, and another fox and a badger, who were his crew. Saberwort untied the boat and the two crewman started rowing. Lord stripetail

"You must be daft, I gave up raiding more than thirty seasons ago!" Saberwort started to yell, but Zastros stood up in between them 'Calm down. Hessper, that was probably a different group of corsairs that attacked your village." Lord Stripetail

"that's enough hessper. "Zastros said. "Put your staff away, Mr. Saberwort didn't have to take us as passengers, he's doing us a favor. The least we can do to repay him is being courteous" Saberwort looked at hessper, then at Zastros. "You've got a good head on your shoulders, fox. Thank you" Lord Stripetail

Saberwort nodded and walked towards the front of the boat. Zastros sat down and watched as the boat moved further and further away from the island, it was now a small speck in the distance. There was water all around them, and he couldn't see anything but water as far as he could see. The Ocean was calm, and there was little wind to disturb the sails. Lord stripetail

The ship sailed onward, and hours passed. In the distance they saw small islands , they were little more than a few trees and some sand, or so they appeared from a distance. The sun began to sink in the sky, and ZXastros got up and went over to Saberwort. "How much longer before we reach Aestorica?" " We should be thiere by morning, if the weather holds up. We're pass' by the Disappearing Isles, they're the only land we'll see for a while." Lord Stripetail
