VICTARION

The sea was black and the moon was silver as the Iron Fleet swept down on the prey1.
They sighted her in the narrows between the Isle2 of Cedars3 and the rugged4 hills of the Astapori hinterlands, just as the black priest Moqorro had said they would. “Ghiscari,” Longwater Pyke shouted down from the crow’s nest. Victarion Greyjoy watched her sail grow larger from the forecastle. Soon he could make out her oars5 rising and falling, and the long white wake behind her shining in the moonlight, like a scar across the sea.
Not a true warship6, Victarion realized. A trading galley7, and a big one. She would make a fine prize. He signaled to his captains to give chase. They would board this ship and take her.
The captain of the galley had realized his peril8 by then. He changed course for the west, making for the Isle of Cedars, perhaps hoping to shelter in some hidden cove10 or run his pursuers onto the jagged rocks along the island’s northeast coast. His galley was heavy laden11, though, and the ironborn had the wind. Grief and Iron Victory cut across the quarry’s course, whilst swift Sparrowhawk and agile13 Fingerdancer swept behind her. Even then the Ghiscari captain did not strike his banners. By the time Lamentation14 came alongside the prey, raking her larboard side and splintering her oars, both ships were so close to the haunted ruins of Ghozai that they could hear the monkeys
