The Journey Begins
The Morkreekian Saga
The Voyage
Part I

Pawblight looked back at the quickly receding shore. He had spent so little time there, at the center of Clan Morkreek's operations, and yet it was still hard for him to leave it. The Slavelord's life had been spent at sea, serving under the thrice-damned Karil and his lot. Pawblight had hated the sea and hated Karil. During those long years, his only companion had been Chittersnatch, former captain of the Betrayal. The sea still made the Slavelord sick, but he knew that this last voyage was necessary. More than necessary; absolutely required. Clan Morkreek had to leave behind its shattered past, with its frequently changing leaders, various heresies, and civil wars. A new dawn was appraoching, and Pawblight would stand above the sun, leading his Clan onward.

Damn, the sun is far to bright. Messing with my mind, Pawblight thought as he turned back to face the bow. Chittersnatch stood by him, still facing the shore. the sun hurt the diminuitive rat's eyes more than Pawblight's. The Slavelord sighed. The sun was unhealthy. He would have to go back below soon. Besides, his artificial teeth were becoming unconfortably warm.

"Come-come," Pawblight commanded, his teeth clinking unnaturally. Chittersnatch turned, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the sun, and followed his commander belowdecks.

Once below the deck, Pawblight headed straight for his cabin, his Master of Politics following. The Slavelord had already changed Clan Morkreek forever. He had established a new dynasty already, almost completely replacing Morkskittar's old one. Chittersnatch had replaced the now-dead Skitterchar as Master of Politics, and Jakith now served as the House Assassin, as Lord Morvael had been killed by Morkskittar's own hand. The new Chief Slaver, Rajik, had once been a lowly ship's hand before Pawblight saw the rat's ability in sniffing out slaves.

After the death of Karil, Pawblight had also needed someone to manage the Fleet of Thirteen. The Slavelord had appointed Captin Artik of the Fat Breeder to the job. Although the Korsair has traditionally been the head ship of the Fleet, Artik was loath to leave the Fat Breeder, which has resulted in the change of flagships. Artik, with his new power, then proceeded to name new captains for the Korsair, Clawbane, and Betrayal. Frankly, Pawblight didn't care who the new captains were, because after this voyage, he intended to never set paw on a ship again.

The Slavelord turned and opened the door to his cabin, not bothering to see if Chittersnatch had followed (which he had). The Master of Politics closed the door softly and walked forward. Pawblight sat down on his bed and faced Chittersnatch. "The course is set for Marienburg, correct?"

Chittersnatch remained standing. "Yes-yes."

Pawblight nodded approvingly. "Good. I have an old friend to meet there...."
