[Eddard]

---

*Aboard his ship the Stormbreaker, Eddard Vahanian stood alongside his Captain at the helm of the ship*


"Man overboard!" A sailor cried out, and the call echoed through the dark night and the hellish downpour of rain. Massive waves slammed the vessel throwing crates around in the hold and knocking lanterns from their hooks. Captain Hartuck struggled to keep the ship afloat, and this was the third sailor he had lost on the trip so far.

*Three weeks later*

"Aye, she's a big one M'lord. Have a look for ye self." Hartuck held out the spyglass and Eddard plucked it from his grasp. Peering through the scope he could see the ship was heading in their direction. Eddard being no sailor himself left their fate up to the Captain.

The good deeds he had done, and the bad he carried with him all came flooding into his thoughts as he gazed at the island. Why he had even returned he still questioned even as he stood gazing upon his homeland. But all he knew was that he was home.

And it was about damned time to
