Jumping Ship for a Rascally Little Sawa Vinimo (Elven Words for Foul Runt) by Elverien Lindire Gomel Refugee

Refugees of Gomel Chapter 1

For every refugee from Gomel he is known as Adarchon (Paternal Uncle). The rest of the world knows him as Hesto (Captain) Ettrain Pavalor formerly of the Gomel Military Intelligence.  I know this because I was a Junior Officer in the Gomel Military Intelligence.  When there was a Gomel Military Intelligence. The nerve of these Sawa Vinimo's," Remember you swore an oath to defend the people of Gomel!"  

This younger generation has brazened passion at least. By Xerbo how did they get the old Hesto to sign off on this?  Reactivation orders and new rank along with four little emeralds worth a hundred gold each.

I doubt it was one of Ridoor’s Gang that summoned an air elemental to play post office. Style points for having an air elemental deliver the letter. I never progressed that far in my magical studies.

What exactly has Young Ridoor gotten himself into? This question will have to wait.  The letter is dated Snowflowers 27 and today is Snowflowers 29.  He is probably already dead.  Why did it have to be my troublesome younger sister’s son Ridoor Fenbalar to be the savior of hundreds of Gomel Refugees?  The Celene Government is promising to take in hundreds of Gomel Refugees if he completes his mission.  

"Duty, Honor, and Glory for Gomel," as I dust off my old military spell book.  Strapping on my old uniform belt and sword, "This will be easy." "Just explain to the captain that his favorite and best Helmsman & Navigator has a family emergency and needs to leave the ship."  

That is how I ended up in the brig!  Not for very long I should think.  Unlike my magic studies my thief skills have been kept sharp.  

Ridoor damn YOU!  It will be a hundred years before I can show my face in the lands of the Sea Princes.  My simple home above the Pelican's Roost Book Store at Port Toli will be missed.  Melda (lovely) Ship Earrame I blow you a kiss goodbye.  The captain will put a price on my head for this!

My fellow Gomel Refugees you are lucky the ship was at port in Safeton on the Wild Coast.   Ridoor’s Gang shows their lack of experience. They seek to waste time and order me to a meeting in Celene.  I think I can just make it in a week to the home of this Countess Tillahi.   Xerbo's Trident this town is full of slavers, thieves, and bounty hunters!   Luckily, I have an old comrade in arms here.
