Patrick still gave Onyxia some preferential treatment. At least she was not dead yet, and she lived reasonably comfortably in Sunlight City. If she tried any more clever tricks right under Patrick's nose, her end would come. Until then, she would be Patrick's best helper in establishing a Void Dragon legion.
"Lord Patrick, word has come from the fleet. Islands have been sighted ahead, and we're about to reach Northrend." Yanida relayed the message from the Motherships.
"Where exactly are we now?"
"Howling Fjord. A harbor has been spotted on the island ahead, with a large number of human pirates entrenched there."
Scalawag Point lay southeast of Kamagua, with the Twin Oceans on either side, while the shallow waters in between held Gavi Reef, where ships could run aground.
In his previous life, Patrick had known the terrain here like the back of his hand. He had never imagined that his old fondness for exploring in the game would prove so useful now.
