Prologue
As Katsa made her way, finally past Brin City, into West Port she wondered, not for the first time, if Po was still waiting for her. She didn't know why she even bothered to worry when she was the one who refused to be tied down to anyone or anything. Not even the pleading eyes of all the young girls in Bitterblue City or any of the others that she taught could keep her in one place. As much as she wished she could stay she knew that the quicker she moved, the faster she got to Po.
Almost as soon as his name entered her mind his voice was calling out to her and she found herself running into his embrace. "At last my Lady Katsa has come for me! My wildcat, my princess, my lover." Po made the effort to meet her eyes, "Marry me."
Katsa frowned into his chest, "You already know my answer to that Lord Prince."
"I know but it was worth a try. Come, Faun is waiting for us at her ship we must leave for there is a storm brewing."
They almost made it through the storm, for Captain Faun has never been wrong in one of her predictions. If only there hadn't been a stow away the crew would have made it through, if only the young boy who was not yet two had not burrowed down within the ropes, if only the child didn't have hair the color of a clear sea or eyes with a mysterious glint, they would have survived.
Ok so this is pretty short but read and review I'll post more later
