Ar arrived at the office one cycle--to the brightening--after he was dispatched. True, he hadn't rushed over, but he'd come within a reasonable amount of time. Being able to hitch a ride on the military frigate had helped speed that along. It had also helped him bypass the gates entirely. It could be handy working for the military.

The mercenary knocked thrice, and when he heard the permission for entrance, he opened the door and strode in, his letter already in his hand. Aside from a quick "Serale," he didn't say much, just set the letter on the man's desk.


Cencoris Eyvind Bjornsson
9th Manjet Legion
Darkblade Fortress, Taralon, Confederation of the Sherian


Secrets :


Imperial Ministry of War
30th Kalendryas, Winter in the Second Era of the Regency of His Most Imperial Excellency Milo L'Evienne.

Cencoris,

I present to you one Aratar, a citizen who is intent on doing the business of the Imperial Legions without the restrictiveness imposed upon those who serve under the Imperial Standard. I trust you will understand his situation completely.

To this end, I enclose a letter of marque in his name from the Imperial Minister of War, as well as a written guarantee of full immunity from Imperial or provincial or municipal prosecution for any acts he may have done in the service of the Empire and the Imperial Legions. He is free to take any enemy bounty as he can carry or see fit to take, within reason.

Use him as you may see fit. Send charges for costs for his upkeep and recompense as well as any further communication to the Imperial Ministry of War by means of the usual Imperial Classis resupply frigate.

Victory and the Gods ride with us.

By Command of the Imperial Minister of War:

Julius Lundtgardh
Provost, 26th Imperial Shields.




Aratar was in his black street outfit, seeing no need to strap on armor for a boatride, though his twin longknives rode on his hips comfortably and his stiletto rest easily in his right boot. He smiled congenially as he waited to hear what this man had to say to him. The Provost had left him, without any instructions other then to come present the letter to Eyvind, so he had done so.

The question now was, what would this Evyind do with him?
