It was a cold, windswept, miserable day. A ship slowly glided into the harbour, two faces had seen without being seen, the small homely wolfship. It had been expected a day previously and was late, due to the start of some minor storms along the constant sea. Now, as the crew stepped ashore, the two unnoticed figures decided to show themselves. The crew all jumped in surprise as the two mottled gray-green figures seemed to melt into view, like some form of magic.
"Kings Rangers, what brings you here?"
The older of the two growled from under his cowl.
"Oh come off it Halt, you know as well as I do." the younger one put in with some heat
One of the more wiry crewmembers stepped forward, it was obvious though, by how the others followed in two neat ranks that he was no ordinary crewmember. He was in fact the Skirl, or Skipper of the small wolfship called heron.
"Why you must be Halt, pleased to meet you. Halt this is Thorn and this is Stig, my first mate."
As he said the names, he indicated a one-armed scruffy looking giant of a man, and a fresh faced warrior who looked about the same age as the Skirl.
"I assume you've come as the duty ship for redmont this year. you Hal?"
Halt added the last bit with little curiosity. He already knew the man's name, and the first statement was in no question. The previous Wolfship had left the previous day, since then, they had been expecting Hal and his crew any minute.
"Ok then, would you prefer to ride or walk to your accommodation?" Halt said with a wolfish grin.
