Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  “Admiral Dakelos! How the hell are you, my man?”
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  A giant of a man—not an actual Giant, but still—strode across the decks. He grabbed Dakelos in a bear-hug slapped him on the shoulders. The smaller man squeaked.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  Dakelos! We met when you were barely a [Captain]. Back when you were sailing at sea? You don’t remember me? Yerzhen? Ah, but we had a grand time. Finished a barrel of…no?”
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  Belatedly, he saw one of his [Fleet Mages] coming forwards. It was a bit embarrassing, but the [Mage] began casting a truth spell at once. On both Yerzhen and Dakelos. The [Admiral] waved him back, but the unsteady [General] didn’t seem to notice.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  “These damn boats. I hate them. Don’t know how you can stand them, Dakelos. What were you saying? Ah, right!”
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  He waved a stern finger at Dakelos.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  “Don’t call me General Yerzhen. That was my father’s title. Let’s not stand on formality, Dakelos. Two old drinking-partners shouldn’t, eh?”
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  The truth spell flashed behind the man. All the statements were true. Dakelos, a bit miffed but more convinced than ever, saw Itorin’s Pride sailing past his flagship.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  Dakelos’ brows creased and his heart began to pound.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  Dakelos waved a hand at his officers. Wide-eyed, they began to call out.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  “The entire fleet, yes. We can spare a few ships if you think it’s wise, but we need to be landing in Nadel by nightfall, Dakelos.”
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  Dakelos nearly fell over himself. And his voice was too loud; [Sailors] looked up and gaped. Was Ailendamus going to war against Lord Belchaus Meron, the Lord of the Dance? His harbors were practically unassailable! Even with the entire navy at his back, Dakelos wouldn’t like fighting there.

Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  His voice was no less quiet, for all he was trying to growl. Dakelos hurried into his cabin and the [General] yanked the door shut.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  The [Fleet Mage] called from outside the office. Distracted, Dakelos saw Yerzhen drawing a line across his throat.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  “No lower-ranks, Dakelos. Can’t risk word spreading.”
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  “We’re not assaulting Nadel, Dakelos. The opposite. Lord Belchaus is allowing our ships to land. He’s not happy about it, but he’s given us a window. From there—my troops and your [Sailors] will disembark and move westwards. We will set up camp and prepare to flank the Dawn Concordat when the war begins. In six days.”
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  Dakelos’ jaw dropped.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  It could work. The [General] was flipping through the maps, tracing a route overland from Nadel to Calanfer. Dakelos couldn’t believe it.
Interlude – The Gecko of Illusions  Something did bug Dakelos, though. He’d thought the Pride was actually much further north. And it was moving so fast—he looked warily at the [General].
