Miko said as he bent his knees and pulled her chin up to his face. Opening her eyes, she saw the blue sky behind him as seagulls flew overhead. “There are those pretty blue eyes I love to see…” Miko said with a devilish grin. “We’re here.” Moving out of the way as he stood up, she peered past him and could see down the docks, into the city and into the town square. Khazar, she thought to herself as she could see faintly the fountains that were in the town’s square. Weak from being fed nothing but berries and water for two weeks, she struggled to rise to her feet. Helping her up, Miko grabbed onto an arm and said, “The lack of decent food was required… I didn’t want you gaining enough strength to try something stupid.” Finding the strength to raise her head up, Tessla glared at Miko. “Illadari will find me and kill you,” she said softly before her head bobbed back down. Miko began laughing as he bent down to a wooden bucket that sat on the deck of the ship.
