Soft footfalls announced the presence of Rhiana. She came closer and laid a hand on his shoulder. “What are you going to do now?”
“Sail back to Siderea with Jonas and the captain; claim my share of the bounty. What about you?”
“I don’t have much choice. I’ll take the survivors of my crew back, see if we can pick up a smuggler back to the Pirate Islands.”
The silence grew longer between them. “What about the armour?”
“It belongs to you. It always did. I just borrowed it.”

“It wasn’t about profit,” she said. “It was about repaying a debt.”
“How do you feel about that?”
“Like I have laid down a heavy load. Like I can get back to being myself again.”
“I’m glad.”
She looked at the sword on his back. “You don’t believe in putting down your burdens, do you?”
He shook his head and looked at the distant moon. It watched them like the eye of a mocking god. Somewhere ahead of them lay the coast of the Kingdoms of the Sun. He would be glad to get back.
