KGWingfeatheFan: I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
OH I hope Bunge is nicer!
PLS KEEP WRITING!
I really love this story, and I'm gonna die if it doesnt continue!
THRONE WARDEN: I'm glad you are enjoying my story! Don't worry, I'm not going to stop writing it. I've come so far with it, so I'm not stopping AT ALL.
The ship crossed through the Watercrawl, and in no time Janner along with the entire crew were on land.
"Throne Warden." Nibbick Bunge, the Keeper, greeted.
Janner nodded his head. "Keeper."
"What brings you to Ban Rona?" Bunge asked.
"Well, sir-"
Nibbick laughed. "You are not under my command. You do not have to refer to me as 'Sir'."
"Well, I kind of am. I am a qualified and registered Durgan, sir." Janner replied.
Nibick shook his head, amused. "Alright. It's fine. But what brings you here?"
"Fangs. They've attacked Anniera. We've managed to take back some of the towns, but the Fangs got to some of the others." Janner said quickly.
Nibbick, along with his other men, gasped.
"Fangs?!" One man said, shocked.
Janner nodded his head solemnly. "Many of them. We need your help."
Nibbick paced back and forth. "I'll send as many able-bodied men to help. For now, you may stay here, if you'd like."
Janner shook his head. "Me and the crew"-he waved his arm motioning to the Annieran ships crew-"would like to head back home as soon as possible."
Nibbick smiled. "I understand. After all, you have a fiancé to get back to, as well as the High King and Song Maiden."
Janner nodded his head, glad that Bunge understood.
Bunge nodded his head at his men, who turned around and headed to the dock of Ban Rona. Bunge turned to some of his other men, and ordered then to head to Ban Rona and the nearby villages and round up the men.
"Expect us to arrive in Anniera very soon, Throne Warden." Bunge said, bowing his head at Janner.
"Thank you for your help, Keeper." Janner replied. He turned around and joined the Annieran crew on their ship. Soon the boat left the dock, and made its course for Anniera.
Bunge watched the ship float out of view. "Maker help us." He whispered to himself.
"Any news?" Kal asked.
"Not yet. We know the ship made it past the Fangs, but we don't know if it's made it to Ban Rona yet." Artham replied.
Leeli sighed. "I hope it did."
"So do I." Sara said.
"Well," Kal started. "By now, looking at how long it's been since the report came in that the ship made it past, they should be in Ban Rona by now."
Everyone considered what he said.
"You're right Kal!" Artham said, jumping up from his seat in the family room. "I'll go ask the sea watchmen if they know where the ship is." And with that, he ran out of there.
Kal stood up as well. "I'll go get the soldiers prepared." He left the room.
Leeli got up right after Kal left. "I'm going to go get the dogs ready."
Once she left, that left Nia, Arundelle, and Sara in the family room.
"Well, I suppose this is a good time for a cooking lesson." Nia stated.
Sara groaned as Nia and Arundelle stood up and motioned for her to follow them.
It was already getting dark by the time the ship had reached the Gulf of Anniera. There were a few Hollish ships following them, filled with Hollowsfolk that were mainly fueled onward by their growing hatred of the Fangs. There were also more ships filled with Hollowsfolk expected to come later, once there was more volunteers to go to Anniera.
"Sir, um, how are we going to get past the Fang line?" Janner asked the captain.
The captain sighed. "Well, we'll have to do whatever it was that we did last time."
"And what was that?"
"I...really don't know."
Janner smiled weakly. "Alright, I suppose we can figure it out."
"You're a smart lad, I'm sure with your help we will get past in no time." The captain reassured.
Janner sighed as he walked out to the main deck.
"The Line has been spotted!" Joseph, the ships lookout, shouted.
The rest of the crew sprang into action, heisting sailed and sharpening blades in case the Fangs decided to attack.
Then came the cry that stopped everyone in their tracks.
"We've been spotted!"
