The war on the island, the civil war, is interrupted before most know that it has taken place. Not until the first invasions is it clear that the life in Castle City is over. Not fun and games. Fun and games will come. Not yet but soon. First we must build some war ships and we are ahead of ourselves. The ships come in the next book. But the reconstruction of the island is started and the news is out that the world is taking a new direction. Barbancor attacks Anamata and the war with the big continent is official.

When the time comes that you do not know who you are killing for what, your real enemy will be near.

King Namor Zujahrah

We will go ahead to tell the people that the 108 animal caravan has not come to collect taxes.

Barbaralba and Namor left the others to walk ahead to Barbaralba’s village. Russam was the first to see them approach. He dropped his fishing net and walked out to meet Barbaralba. To embrace her.

You have come back, Barbaralba. And you have returned a woman.

King Namor, my Drave father, Russam.

King Namor bowed to Russam and Russam bowed to King Namor. Barbaralba smiled. Russam had many questions for Barbaralba on their short walk back to the village. At the village, news was spread that a feast was to be had that evening for all who could come. The other news was that the enormous caravan was booty from the first war against Castle City.

It was easy, with King Namor as her company, to find Draves willing and eager to take down Castle City. Starting with the tax collectors.

People of the villages all knew how to shoot fish under water with a bow. Many were also hunters. Making bows and arrows to shoot tax collectors was the first business to be taken care of before sending Draves to all thirty-six tax collector routes.

Barbaralba worked together with the Draves of the ocean villages, designing new ancient patented weapons. They constructed a triple bow to shoot three arrows at a time. Crossbows of various sizes, from something a small fighter could carry in one hand to crossbows mounted on wagons requiring two operators. Bows were made with boiled down animal ligaments, wood, plant fiber, metal and fire.

Small armies were trained and equipped and sent out to ambush tax collectors after their crossing of the desert. Within three far moon cycles, a boarder was made by the Drave’s army to isolate Castle City.

Barbaralba. It is soon time for an attempt at protocol. Before I return to Castle City, there is a nearby island I want to visit.

I know of the island. It is just beyond the cliffs down the coast.

They had paddled out to the small wooden floating island to have their own place with no eyes other than fish and birds to watch them.

If you look along the shore to the horizon, you can see the island.

I would not have known it was not part of the coast. Have you ever been there.

No one goes there. The currents will take you out to the ocean, never to return.

Zauqir says there is a bridge. He goes over it every few double moons.

I knew he went many places. I did not know about his island visits. What is of interest there.

People to trade with. And he likes it there. He sometimes spends a few moon cycles visiting.

What people live there.

People neither Royal family nor Drave.

What other kind of people are there.

I do not know, Barbaralba. I did not know there was another island. Till recently I did not really know there was this island. That is why I want to go.

I will come with you. Do we need to take an army.

"No army. Just you and
