The steel warship lay quietly at the harbor of Plunder, the flag representing the Mist Fleet billowing in the wind under the sunlight. The flag bore the image of a sharp, knife-like ice crystal, with a crack running through its center—an ice crystal is the emblem of Frost, and the crack symbolizes the self-exiled "rebels".
After that infamous pirate captain and his entourage had left, no one else had disembarked from that warship. The Sea Mist looked like a silent iceberg, peacefully docked, with its lofty and majestic hull and bow obstructing the curious glances of all at the wharf. At the same time, a troop of City-State Guards rushed from the nearby garrison, blocking the road to the pier to prevent the approach of unrelated personnel.
Only after the sheriff intervened to disperse them did the crowd of onlookers at the dock gradually begin to scatter.
First Mate Aiden stood on the bridge of the Sea Mist, silently watching the movements on the dock.
