Pirates were the bane of the travelling merchants, and this time they had gone too far. They had pushed past mere piracy when they took the lives of the people that were just trying to do honest work. Aegis' local contact from the city hall in Marigold informed him that there was a group that was going around attacking local trade ships leaving Port from Hargeon. They had always been a nuisance, as pirates have been all over in history, but recently due to the rebuilding efforts, supplies were needed all the more.
They didn't have much to go on to start, but they did know the general location where the ships are being attacked, and were also willing to offer passage on one of their free ships to the location. Aegis however already had his own way of transportation via his personal airship, so he respectfully declined, and after finalizing all the information that they had, would begin his search over the next day. Taking the Airship from Marigold over to the port city did not take very long at all, but the scan of the sea was going to take much longer. Aegis did not take the little one with him, for he thought this was going to be too dangerous the trip. Especially for one so young depending on how the interaction with the Pirates went. As far as a mode of transportation goes, Aegis was definitely glad that the he had this at his disposal. It wasn't necessarily the fastest means of transportation, but it was definitely one of the handiest, because it didn't have very many limitations on flight paths or travel obstacles.
Who's very early on in the morning when he started his search, the winds were decently clear, and the temperature was low, but mild. It was very odd to be able to see and smell the sea that he enjoyed so much while not having many of the facial features to do so. It's been awhile since he was able to relax like this, even though he was on the job, and was prepared for the encounter, heaphelps a little bit of ease seat over him compared to the last few years.
