“Ah but what do I get by taking you there?” She asked

"A friendship that will end the moment we separate," Willow suggests.

“Yes but I’m not looking for friends, I’m looking for allies. Besides that place is riddled with officials you’ll be arrested if you go there.”

"I've out run quite a few officials in my life," Willow says, glancing at Masalee, "Anyway we have to try. So are you taking us there or are we going to have to turn you over to the Watch?"

“Ah but my dear lady the thing is you won’t. Because you are also wanted by the Watch” she started the boat and went the way opposite to Greengrass Isles.

"Ah, se- you got me there," Willow ponders for a second, "what if you just drop us near Greenglass?"

“No I am taking you to ShadowFang island” she smirked knowing something the others had no idea about

"Um, that's rude and now I'm sad," Willow says, pouting. "This is kidnapping y'know, and that's against the law, fun fact."

“You being alive is against the law.” She retorted “beside I have a hideout on the island with weapons and maps and other stuff so that’s our best bet to staying alive.”

"Right, well if you go there then we can pay you for the boat and take it to not Greenglass," Willow reasons, clearly planning on taking it to Greenglass.

“Right I made this boat with my father when he was alive so this isn’t leaving the island without me.”

Willow sighs, this was proving to be difficult, "So you're just not going to help us and instead kidnap us and take us to ShadowFang? Fantastic."

“Like I said before, I’m looking for allies. And from what I understand you aren’t going to the Isles to hide are you?” She grinned at them

"Are you kidding, everyone's swarming to hide in the place crowded with officials," Willow says sarcastically.

“Haha.” She rolled her eyes “but you are going to require some weapons or comms if you want to survive.” She said seriously.

"And you're going to help us so, if you ever need it, we'll help you?"

“Like I said again and again I need allies. There is a war brewing in the isles with the excessive control or the Watch. “ she said

"What do you think?" She asks, turning to Masalee.

"I absolutely don't trust you. But I'd rather take my chances than stay here. So, like, don't kill us and stuff, and we're good."

"Trust me miss, if i wanted to kill you, i wouldnt have started the boat." She said solemnly

Archia ponders on what to do. He was just fired after not bringing the bodies and was sent off to the isles off into the west for a new bounty "Pheonix, huh" he commented to himself as he flies to his destination.

"Isn't that lovely, how long until we reach ShadowFang?"

"Just under a day."

"That close? Then there's no reason to delay." Masalee approaches the boat, but as she goes to climb on, a burning pain forces her to hesitate. A pain right where she touched the key. Not enough pain to permanently damage her, but the warning is clear. Lark has not forgotten her.

"Are you alright?" Willow asks, after seeing Masalee's hesitation.

"I don't think our problem with Lark left with Cert. I don't think she'll stop us, but I don't know why at this point. What, specifically, goes on where we're headed?"

Willow looks over at Pheonix, waiting for her to answer Masalee's question.

Phoenix looked up “not much, the island was given to my brothers and I but they didn’t want it so I have it as a base. It is quite small. “ she replied

"What does she stand to gain from waiting for us to get there first? I bet she could finish us off here and now if she wanted to. We're in her territory." Masalee looked to Willow.
