As the brother was about to attack with fire, the woman used a shield made of the sea to protect herself; however, the shield vanished, and the fire prevailed, burning the woman. She doused the fire with water.
I shot an earth spike at her, nearly missing her head; she looked at me and was shocked. "This won't be the last time we meet!!!" She shouted, jumping overboard, "No, you won't!!!!" As she was about to reach the sea, her brother sent more fire at her, nearly catching up to her.
When the fire was too near, I saw the water rising, catching the woman and protecting her from the brother's flame. "Damn it!!" I heard Brother shout.
Once all the pirates were dealt with, I met up with my brother, Zorroquol, and Grore. "Two pirate attacks!! This one was more ambiguous than the last: three pirate ships and a waterbender. What are you transporting in this ship!!" Brother shouted enraged, "This is more dangerous and difficult than what you said!!! You will have to pay a higher sum of money than what you paid!!" He added.
"You should be grateful for what we are paying you!!! What did you expect from a guy like him!! He didn't even arrive on time on the first day!!! He ...Ugh!!" Shouted Grore before getting punched in the stomach by his brother, and he started vomiting some food, then blood.
"You better not talk about me like that, or I will kill you." Brother said in an intimidating way, "We will pay 50% more for your efforts!!" Zorroquol intervened; Brother shook his head in affirmation, and he then told me to follow him.
We remained silent as all eyes were on us; the sailors gave us way as we neared them. When we reached the room, Brother activated silence and closed the door with the lock. I then pushed the desk, "Just to be sure!" I told Brother when he gave me a questioning look.
"They might send assassins after us, so we need to be careful from now on. *sigh*". "Brother, look at what I found!!" I said, handing him the letters/papers and the book I found in Zorroquol's room, "Where did you find this??" Brother asked while rummaging through them, "I found them in Zorroquol's room when the pirates attacked and he left. They were hidden in his desk drawers, in a fake bottom at the very last drawer."
"You didn't leave a trace behind, did you??" He asked, looking worried, "No." I shook my head in denial. "I put everything back in its place!!" "Good job!! He will probably think it's the saboteurs!! You take the book; I will read the letters." He said, Extending the book, I took it and started reading it.
It turns out that the book is Zorroquol's diary. Zorroquol was a slave who was freed by a master in Pentos, which made him love his master to the point of dying for him. Lately he was given a mission; it's pretty vague what the mission is exactly, but it's important for Zorroquol. He thinks that it's to prove his love and loyalty to his master.
He doesn't describe his master's facial features or tell us his name; however, at the beginning, he says that his new master is fat and unpleasant, and at the end, he says how he is afraid of the amount of food his master eats and that it can't be good for his health.
He also talks about his deal with Lady Olenna; they made a deal to sell to the Reach 30 crates full of exotic fruits for a huge sum of gold and how she wouldn't shy from making remarks about him and the deal.
"What did you find??" Brother asked, "Nothing about the eggs!! He did talk about a mission from his master, but that's all there was, and the deal he made with Lady Olenna!!" I answered with a disappointed look.
"What about you?" I enquired, "There is one important letter that explains why Zorroquol was so eager to leave; it says:
Dear Client,
From your letter I understood that you want me to steal a crate with a circle on its sides from the auction house and to put it in a ship named Baldwing. I would like to state that such a job would be very costly, as stealing from the auction house is the last thing anyone would want to do.
As such, the price will be tripled from 10000 coins to 30000 coins. Do you agree or not to this condition?? Let us know by a letter to the same address as before.
P.S: BURN THIS LETTER AFTER READING ITS CONTENT. "
