After his nomination as Elder, representative of the Black Sails, Grimly left Etna for Crete with his escort.
Once at Crete, he came to the chamber of the Council of Elders. Here, only 2 of his mens could escort him into the chamber. Two of his strongest slaves then followed the new Elder.
The chamber was luxurious compared even to his desk in Etna. Grimly looked around and saw the other Elders on their seat. Then, he took place with the others Elders, his two slaves standing behind.
I'm impressed. I suppose el senor Adam will join soon enough.
