The Pack's Rebels
There was a queue of vampires and blood slaves, clutching their possessions to their chests and arguing for entry.
“We saw a ship enter!” A man declared. “A ship flying Estrean flags. We want to buy passage.”
“It is a merchant ship,” the guard replied wearily. “We do not know if the ship is taking passengers, and if it is, it cannot possibly take you all. It probably wants to fill it’s holds with cargo not people. There is no point to this, we cannot allow you within. The docks cannot take so many, they are damaged, and you would overwhelm the ship. Few enough bother with the journey anymore, we don’t want to scare those that do make it off, do we?”
