Naval Battle

"Anyway, we will be leaving today for Denerim. Varric will be waiting for us. I hope you became good friends with each other," says Vincent as he walked to the door where all the servants we're standing.

"We will be leaving for a while," says Vincent to them as he left enough money to take care of the Estate while they were gone.

They leave the house as the servants bowing to them. The Viscount was waiting for them with Meredith as they accompanied them to the docks were a Dwarf was waiting for them.

"I hope you didn't wait long, Varric," says Vincent as Varric didn't pack much.

He only had a Repetitive Crossbow and bag with some clothes it seemed he didn't have much as Varric says, "Good Morning, Ambassador Highwind. I didn't wait long as I just arrived after saying goodbye to my irritating older brother."

"Well, we should board then. Can you give me the symbol back then," says Vincent as he stretches his hand out.

"Of course, it seems pretty important to you," says Varric as he gave it back.

"Yes, it is," says Vincent as he looked at the symbol and could see blood on it even if it didn't have.

"One of my sons used to wear this symbol near his chest before he died," says Vincent as he put the symbol back in his chest pocket.

"Anyway, we should board the ship," says Vincent as the plank was put out and they all boarded it and Vincent turns to the Viscount and says, "I hope to meet you again."

"We too," says the Viscount as he handed over the document about the Estate with the Hawke Family being the owner.

Vincent boarded as last the ship and the ship began to move once he was on deck. They passed the statues again as they left Kirkwall completely.

"Where are we going now?" asks the captain as he didn't know if Vincent wanted to go somewhere else.

"Denerim. I think we wasted enough time," says Vincent as he was looking at the sea.

The ship was back on track when they see a little Fleet coming their way. They were three small ships and a big ship. They didn't hiss a flag and their sails were black making it quite obvious to them what they were.

"Pirates," says Vincent as the captain was still sailing towards them when Vincent smiles while saying, "Hit the drums."

A sailor runs towards the war drums and hits them making the Legionaries under deck know that a battle is about to begin. The Hawke Family, as well as the others, didn't know what was going on as they heard the Legionaries run in the ship while drums could be heard.

"They are coming directly at us," says the captain as Vincent was smiling.

"How big are the chances of us sinking all four in one go?" asks Vincent as the captain wasn't even calculating it.

"50% but we should be able to almost make them immovable," says the captain as Vincent was lifting his left hand signalizing the drummer to stop.

"Wait for the signal," shouts Vincent as the cannons were still not inside the ship while the fleet was approaching.

Once near enough Vincent waves his hand down and the drummer gave the signal to the men when the cannons revealed themselves on the side of the ship when Vincent shouts, "Fire!"

The cannons shoot a barrage at the Pirate Ships hitting them directly sinking two of the three small ships while the other two were immovable.

The cannons hide again inside the ship as the drummer continuously hits the drums making the Legionaries stand on deck ready as Vincent shouts, "Ready to board the enemy vessels. Take everyone prisoner. If they try to jump from the ship kill them."

Vincent was in his Drachen-set wielding his spear while Karliah was wearing her Nightingale armor and Kirvena her Paladin armor. They were ready to join their husband when Garrett came on deck seeing the Legionaries behind Vincent.

"What is going on?" asks Garrett as Vincent pointed towards the two still standing ship.

"We are going to board them and take them as prisoners. They came straight at us making it obvious who their target was," says Vincent as the Black Emperor was approaching the ships when Vincent says, "You stay on the ship and look how your father fights."

The Black Emperor was about to arrive near the ship as Vincent takes some steps back as the Legion makes way for him. He runs towards the edge of the ship before jumping.

Garrett opened his eyes wide seeing Vincent jump as Vincent was quite high in the air. He was floating over to the big ship and lands on its deck while shouting, "Surrender and your lives will be pardoned."

Five of the pirates attacked Vincent only to get the tip of the spear in their bodies. The others were now cautious while Vincent shouts again, "If you surrender you will live. Fight us and you will die."

Some of the pirates abandoned ship only to find arrows piercing their bodies. Corpses were now floating on the surface of the sea making it turn red.

The Legionaries were ready as they jumped on the ship Vincent was. They took the pirates as prisoners and went through their cargo finding people in shackles. It was smelling quite bad making even a battlefield drenched in blood smell better.

"Slaves," says Vincent as he sees Men and Mer in chains as he frees them while saying, "You are free. You can either join me on my ship until Denerim or survive alone on this wrack."

Then Vincent walks back up to the deck while looking for the one responsible for the ship as he looks at the prisoners and asks, "Who is the one responsible for this ship?"

No one answered as Vincent says, "Vlad you know what to do."

Vlad appears and kills the first pirate and Vincent repeats himself, "Who is the one responsible for this ship?"

"He is al-lre-ea-ady de-ead," says one of them stuttering out of fear.

"Well, if he is dead you aren't useful any longer," says Vincent as Vlad smiles making all the prisoners feel shivers before their heads were rolling on deck.

Vincent returned to the Black Emperor to meet his wives that took the smaller ship out and asks, "Who have you brought with you?"

"Oh, she is the captain of the smaller ship she seemed to cooperate quite fast after seeing someone kill that many people," says Kirvena as she saw how Vincent ordered the execution of the whole crew.

"And her name is?" asks Vincent as he looked at the tanned captain.

"I'm Isabela," says Isabela as she presented herself quite fast.

Vincent takes her head in his hand and takes a good look at her face before looking in her eyes and says, "I like you."

He let her go and continues, "You are welcome on my ship for now as well as your crew."

Vincent then walks away as Isabela looks at Karliah and Kirvena nervous when both begin to laugh after seeing her helpless face when Kirvena says, "He doesn't like you that way. What he means with 'I like you' is that he tolerates you."

"So I don't have to hide myself," says Isabela as both shake their heads.

"Vincent judges people with just watching into their eyes. He likes to look into your soul," says Karliah as he knew that look on Vincent's face.

"Where will I be sleeping?" asks Isabela as Karliah called a Legionary to bring Isabela to were Flemeth and Morrigan were living for now.

Vincent was on his way to his room when Garrett finds him and asks, "How?"

"How what, boy?" says Vincent as he was changing out of his armor in front of him.

"How could you jump that wide?" asks Garrett more specifically as Vincent smiles.

"You will find out once we are on our way to Tamriel but for now you should entertain your mothers' guest. We will talk soon enough about how I did that," says Vincent as they arrived at his room.

They separate there as Vincent entered while Garrett left to talk to Karliah and Kirvena about what the guest Vincent mentioned.

Vincent was sitting on a chair when he says, "I know you are there, Hrotti."

"Great-Grandfather," says Hrotti as she hugged Vincent.

"Are you here alone?" asks Vincent as he wanted to meet the Mer she saved.

"Yes, Fenris is already in Denerim with Mina and the others," says Hrotti as she breaks the hug and sits on the free chair beside Vincent.

"I really hope that he is a good man," says Vincent as he looked at Hrotti seriously.

"Don't worry he can be quite dull since he was a former slave but he is a Magic-Swordman if we compare him to someone from the Empire," says Hrotti as she smiled at Vincent who sighs.

"Fine, anyway did you have some information for me that you didn't want to share with Lucia?" asks Vincent as Hrotti nods.

"Yes, it's about Dragons on Thedas. I encountered some but they weren't intelligent beings," says Hrotti as she explained that she encountered Dragons in the land known as Antiva.

"You are saying they are breeding Dragons," says Vincent finding that curious as Hrotti nods.

"Well yes, but a woman in wild clothes like the two you have in your company," says Hrotti as Vincent's eyes opened for a moment.

"Right Flemeth had many daughters," says Vincent to himself as Hrotti looked at him confused.

"I will look into it when we returned to Denerim. You should rest and return to that boy in Denerim. Prepare him for the meeting. If he doesn't convince me, you won't marry him," says Vincent seriously as Hrotti is the Princess of the Werebeasts of Akavir.

Hrotti leaves as she puffed up her cheeks making Vincent smile before he left the room. He walked towards the room Flemeth and Morrigan were living and knocks on the door while saying, {We need to talk.}

Flemeth leaves the room and joins Vincent as they walk up to the deck and Vincent says, "You have another daughter on Thedas from what I heard in Antive or was it Antiva."

"Antiva and yes," says Flemeth as Vincent's eyes were almost closed making the captain and the sailors realize that he was pissed.

"I heard she is raising Dragons there," says Vincent as he turned towards her.

"Yes, but they aren't intelligent like the ones on Tamriel," says Flemeth as Vincent nods.

"Could they be used as mounts like the Chocobos?" asks Vincent making Flemeth's hair stand up just from thinking what Vincent was hinting on.

"I don't know," says Flemeth as Vincent smiles.

"Then we will find out soon enough," says Vincent as he was thinking on going to Antiva after docking in Denerim when he continues, "And you will be joining me."
