SHORTLY AFTER EDWARDS'S ARRIVAL | AROUND NIGHT VALE | COMPLETE
A REUNION

SPOILERS
Of all things Blackbeard hadn’t expected, ending up somewhere other than The Revenge out of nowhere was top of the list. He didn’t even seem to be near the sea: the air was drier than he’d ever experienced and so far in his wanderings he hadn’t come across so much as a stream, let alone a river large enough to connect to the ocean. It was utterly foreign. He’d grown up in a port city and spent so much of his life on a ship that not being able to see any water was unnerving.
And that was just the beginning of the strangeness.
Everything looked wrong, for a start. It was also a different sort of noise than he was used to for a town and there were no signs of farms despite the large stretches of land. Nothing was at all like what he was used to.
The good thing about finding himself in such a strange place was, he realized, that it left very little time to think about Stede. It was a welcome distraction, even if he hadn’t wanted to just turn up anywhere.
