ERIK’S AID TO JASMINE

Erik gave a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." He said.

Ned nodded and then Erik walked up to where the steps back above the deck was.

He stopped at his wolf.

"Stay with her boy." Erik said to the grey wolf. "Protect her."

The wolf sighed softly and then Erik brushed his fur hair and then the very large wolf walked up to where Ned and Jasmine were.

Ned stiffed him when the wolf came up to him.

"He will not do anything to you." Erik answered the question that he knew was already in Ned's mind.

Ned sighed in relief even though he was still tensed.

"Unless you give him a reason to." Erik added.

Ned became alert and then Erik comfortable that he had delivered his message went up the steps above deck.

He went across the ship and walked by the captain still lying down on the floor.

The men had done nothing to help him and he was most definitely still alive.
