Chapter 21: Kurin Aboard Grandalor

Willing hands helped Kurin over the rail on to the deck of the Grandalor. She looked about curiously, having never been aboard this ship before.  There was none of the slovenly work or maintenance that she had subconsciously expected.  Forward of where she stood she could see a large machine occupying a good part of the precious deck space between the foremast and the mainmast.  It was hard to see it clearly through the gear and boats stacked about in careful order, everything properly lashed into place.

Plainly the Grandalor used deck space differently than she was used to from the Longin and the few other ships that she had actually been aboard. She stepped around a neat stack of nested rowing boats and got a clear view of the machine.  She stopped, shocked again.  She had seen battle catapults like this before, on the Dark Dragon, but those had been much smaller.

“What do you use that for?” she asked in a small voice, of nobody in particular.

A child’s voice answered anyway.  “We caught some big Hags and a Wing Ray with it.”

Kurin turned toward the speaker and saw little Arnat, still clutching the stuffed toy paddle duck that she had given him.  She was wondering how to tell him that his mother had been gravely wounded when Tanlin came back.

“T’ere ye are, Arnat.  Oi’ve been lookin’ for ye.  We need ye down in sickbay.  Yer mot’er’s been ‘urt.”  She looked at Kurin and asked, “Can ye come t’, Kurin?  Tis goin’ t’ be ‘ard.”
