Beloved Warrior
“Patrick looked over at the green hills and uttered a prayer of thanks. It was a prayer he hadn’t made in more years than he could remember.
At daybreak he’d glimpsed the Firth of Clyde on the Scottish coast and hours later the Sound of Jura. Now Patrick glued his eyes to the coast, watching for the firth that led to Inverleith.
Kilil joined him at the helm. With his neatly trimmed beard, he was almost unrecognizable from the man on the bench.
“We are nearly there?” Kalil asked.
“Aye.”
The Moor’s dark eyes searched his face. “We have trusted you.”
Patrick nodded.
“We want the ship,” Kilil stated. “Not only the Moors, but many of the others as well. We would sail to Morocco.”
“Think about it,” Patrick urged Kilil. “Think what will happen if you take the Sofia. You can change her name, but there is no hiding the fact that she is a Spanish galleon. The seas are heavily patrolled approaching Morocco because of piracy, and you have but two small cannons. The crew would not be large enough t...o combat a storm like we saw days ago, much less an English or Spanish or French warship.”MoreLess
