| − | The story begins with [[Thancred]] and his men in hot pursuit of Simon's team to kill them. However, due to the recent revival that has begun sweeping across [[The Demesne of Kaspar]], his efforts are repeatedly thwarted by the numerous angel armies who protect each of the cities and villages that are now filled to overflowing with new converts. As they try to catch up to [[Simon Williams|Simon's]] team, Simon and the others are, in turn, busy trying to find a way across [[The Great Sea]]. With a little help from [[Angus]], Simon's team are sent on their way to the pirate city of [[Bremen Te Barro]]. As they make their way there, the [[Chief Director]] begins his own plans to upset the [[Alien Brotherhood|brotherhood]] and bring their plans for [[Offworld]] to futility. This includes releasing the previously imprisoned [[Sheobaal]], and sending him out to wreck havoc on the plans of [[Bathremel]], and his former master, the infamous [[Azazel]].

| − | Elsewhere, [[Susan Wheaton]] and her team continue their journey, eventually arriving in [[Forlorian]], and taking up shelter with [[Esther]]. The next day the rest of the team continues on with only Susan, [[Arthur Holland]], [[Dexter Dramond]], and [[Fredrick]] staying behind and taking up residence full time with Esther. The three young men then take up full time employment in Venodor to earn their keep. Meanwhile, after failing to hire a ship the first night that Simon's team successfully charters the [[Flying Coachman]] the next day, which then sneaks out of the city at night, in the midst of a flurry of confusion caused by Thancred's ill advised, and foolish attempt to invade the city in pursuit of Simon and his team. Thancred and his men are then captured by the soldiers of [[Manwan Despon]] and taken before him where the pirate king berates and scolds them, then sends them away empty handed in humiliation. Manwan then discovers later on that the Coachman has escaped from his city against his will.

| − | He immediately dispatches his fleet, along with the powerful and highly feared [[Puffing Dragon]], in pursuit of the coachman. Eventually the Puffing Dragon catches up to the Flying Coachman, and the two ships engage in a brief, but deadly firefight which leads to the total destruction of the Puffing Dragon, with only minor damage and injuries to the Flying Coachman. Not long after this, upon realizing that Simon's team is safe for the moment, [[Fallon]] heads out to [[Reathrin]] Weyr and successfully requests the services of Rathon to help him keep an eye on Simon's team, while also assisting him in protecting them as well. The Coachman eventually reaches its first stop at [[Neranago Island]] and takes on much needed supplies. However, using an excellent and crafty bit of seamanship, Despon catches up to the Coachman and nearly overtakes it.

| − | However, the Coachman successfully escapes Despon's fleet and sails into the distance. But Despon knows where they're going and makes for their next stop, which is [[Meriter Island]]. However, as the Coachman makes for the island, Sheobaal, after a long search, locates the ship and tries to destroy it, but is thwarted by a cadre of protective angels. So he then creates a sea storm that damages the ship, but is unable to destroy it. The Coachman then makes it to Meriter Island and ducks out in a well disguised fjord that allows them to hide inside the island and not be detected. Once there, they use the tide to ground the ship for repairs. Then, while part of the crew fixes things, another part, along with [[Craven Lucius]], the ship's boatswain, head into the heart of the island where they pick up their second round of supplies.

| − | However, due to the delay caused by their need to make repairs, Despon catches up to them and surrounds the island, trapping them inside. However, due to an act of divine intervention, the Coachman is able to escape during the darkest part of the night and make for their third and final supply stop. When morning comes, Despon discovers that the Coachman has escaped and makes pursuit. The Coachman then makes one last stop at [[Macaman Island]], picks up supplies, then makes for [[Grootwand]] at the far side of the Great Sea.
