"Alys, you can come out." I tell her. She peeks back around King Louie's Throne for the tenth time, her brown eyes focus only on Holliday; who is now grinning like a fool, as he has three women falling over him with care and attention. Not giving a care that he is still sitting on the floor naked as the day he was born.
"How is Louie?" I ask to get her attention.
"He's still out cold." She doesn't even turn her head away from her perusal of Holliday.
"Louie is here?" Holliday gives himself a shake and tries to stand. "I got some pay back for him."
"Please, don't even bother, he fainted at the sight of blood." Diana puts a hand on his shoulder and pushes him back down.
"You must have done something to make him feed you to the river? " I asked raising an eyebrow in speculation, from what I have seen of Holliday he is almost a force of chaos that rivals me.
"I took offense at his idea that he take my guns. Tribute he called it. High way robbery if you ask me." He snarls at the idea that some one would take his guns away. "I may have killed some of his guards well."
"And we just killed their replacement." I put my hand over my mouth to cover the giggle that I can feel well up.
"That would explain a lot." Diana has no such compunctions she just laughs out loud.
"Still leaves us with the problem of how do we get out of here?" Holliday says looking around the throne room.
"I think you are sitting on it." I remembered how hard Louie tried to get back to his throne when we shot him.
Holliday looks down, then back up at me. "And I thought it was a might cold in here because I am naked."
"Diana would see if you can find some clothes for our boy here?" I sigh to myself as I check over his various wounds. The guy is a menace.
"I would take it as a kindness," He oozes charm at Diana, "But I don't think I can fit in of Louie's pants." Alys takes this opportunity to giggle at him. Holliday goes back to grinning at her.
"Jack pot." Diana sings out. She had been opening the trunks behind the throne. Throwing open the lid she pulls out Holliday's Buckskin outfit and gun belt and guns.
"Well how do you like that. " He winks at Alys. "come to me my little darlings." He holds out a hand for the guns.
"Stop fondling your guns, Stupid." Diana jokes at him, "Get dressed, I swear I have never seen such a show off in all my life." She puts her hands on her hips and give Holliday a murderous frown.
"Not in front of the children." I say, waving my hand in Alys' direction. Who even if she is more interested in the sight of Holliday rather than frightened, I don't want her to lose her good spirits.
We give Holliday a hand up, he is still stiff and hurt but seems to be perking right up. Diana and I share a look at one another and roll our eyes. Men, she mouths to me. I smile back.
While Holliday gets dressed, I go to give a listen to the door while he dresses. Silent feet are creeping close.
I walk quickly back to my friends. "We need to get a move on it. It sounds like Louie's loyal subjects are getting some courage back." I tell them.
I have Rich show me the Silencer in the basement. It a glom of different parts and outputs, but somehow he got it to work. I am able to figure out the frequencies he is tuning out. I will have to do some fiddling when I have time to adjust my Chameleon Circuitry. After looking at his science project, I am left wondering what kind of education Rick has had. He talks noticeably better and it would take someone with some physics and electronic knowledge in order to create the jammer he has in...
"Alys, come with me, " I say to her as Diana and I move the dead weight that is King Louie to a safer place. The throne that Louie was sitting on looks like it is dense enough to stop a bullet. "Alys stay behind the throne with Louie, while Diana and I..." I stop and look at Diana for help. She snorts under her breath and grins. "While we inflict a little damage." She raises an eye brow, " That sound about right to you, Chronos?" "Yes, Damage works fine." "Whata I do?" Alys...
"You are going to take some getting used to," Saul says matter of factly, as though his eyes had not just popped out of his head at my actions. I take this time to wrap the sheet around me, in a toga style. "Did you want me to warn you?" I look at him with an evil grin. If he is going to want me but not act, then I don't have to make it easy. I can just back off, if he gets too uncomfortable. Right now he is not looking uncomfortable, so much as just looking. "I can feel you Saul,"...
It is thanks to Diana that we stop for a short lunch break. She has found us a small field with a tiny stream running through it. I think she is leading us back to the major road that runs close by. It would be easier to travel and we can check for damage as we go along. But for now, I think it is a good time to get the girls thinking about home. "Nev, what can you tell us about your home" I ask her, Nev seems to be the most socially advanced of our girls. And she is shaking off her trauma...
"I am a spirit, I can take any form I want. Little one." He is still laughing at me under his breath. I watch his eyes. He is soaking up the view of me. And, I might add, I do the same. "You were difficult to find," he chides me. I remain silent. "It took some doing but I see now where you are." "Why are you even here?" I ask at this point I am terribly suspicious of his actions. "Why? To keep you out of trouble, which I see I am too late to prevent." He doesn't sound angry,...
We must be making exceptional time, walking along the road side, as we make it to the Brutes home by late-afternoon on the next day. We are even luckier that the threatening rain holds off as well. We make our way into the prison. It is completely deserted. Not a body, not a growl of noise. It looks like it had been empty for months. Most likely since the Kindred came through, guns a blazing. Catherine has us move in cautiously. Slow and cautious. "There are no bodies." Catherine says as...
"Mother Liss, do you have some hard drink about? I need to calm the girls down and get them to bed." And I add hopefully, "and maybe a few real beds for the night?" "Oh for goodness sake girls, you just stop that catawaullin'." Liss chides them. I share a look of exasperation with the Protectors. "I'll get it." Howle says heading out of the room. He comes back in a moment, carrying a stone crock and some little bowls. He opens the crock and splashes some clear liquid into the...
"Well gal, I see you're back." Brin's father says to Brin with no fanfare or anything. "At least you brought some women folk to help out." And with that he turns and walks back into the house where he bellows at his wife to come out and see to us. Brin gives us an apologetic look, once his has left. Brin's brothers, after hearing their father's call of company, come tumbling out of the house. Her brothers on the other hand don't say anything once they see us. They just follow us...
"I do not buy it." I snap at the boys as they give me a ridiculous hanged dog expression. "You have been chasing pussy like it is your god given right." I sweep the gun I confiscated at them. "It is going to stop. Now!" I push outward with my anger. I do to them on purpose what I did to Nimrod by accident. I am awash with pain of every girl they have accosted, for every bung hole they tried to fill. They cringe away from me in fear. It is glorious! The power to inspire this kind of...
Rich leads us back to the house. The two other boys have beat us there. They are sitting at the table looking sullen. Brin has a look of I told you so on her face. And Emma just looks confused. "What happened?" Emma rushes at us, as Catherine enters with Billy Ray slung over her shoulder. "Billy got in the way of Chronos' fist." Catherine says dryly. "We are fine, too." I say brightly. "We just need to talk." "The boys are fine, Emma." Rich gives her a sheepish grin. "But we...
"Does anyone have any ideas of what do with the extra women we found?" the Legend Bunyan asks before the meeting breaks up. "We could just take them with us," Ajax the lesser answers. "It would be the right thing to do." "They too have homes and families," I say out of the blue. "Will you deprive them of those things once more." "I am not sure that is open for debate, Chronos," Saber frowns at me. Maybe I should have spoken with him in private. He and I do seem to be stepping...
The council chamber is crowded with all the elders and the returned travelers. We are the last ones to file in. I give Saul a gentle pat on his arm and Nimrod gives him a reassuring smile. "What is she doing here?" Napoleon bellows out, even before Melville can get two words in. "I can hurt you." I say, looking him calmly in the eye. "Nosis." Nimrod touches my shoulder and pulls me back against him. "Fine." I stick my tongue out at Napoleon and give Nimrod a peck on the cheek as I...
The Pettada don't understand dancing. Music and motion and expression. All of that is lost on them, anytime I tried to explain they would just give me a blank look. So, to say I missed dancing is an understatement. I was parched for dancing. I get to dance with so many people that I lose track of all the names and faces. Everyone is happy to meet me. They all know my name and thanks to Maggie they know some of my deeds. She must have told everyone how I had saved her life. I am not sure...
It doesn't take me long to find Saber. He is close to 7 feet tall and all muscles, but he is pretty smart for a muscle man. I just focus on the sounds of fighting and there they are, Knight Protectors of the Compound. A 16 man squad, down now by 3 and at least 2 more on the critical list. But they are out there working, honing their skills in the area set aside for their fight practice. I spend a minute watching. They are some of the prettiest men and women I have seen in awhile. And as...
The two hours fly by fast. I am the first up the ladder and out into the open. It feels so good to breathe fresh air, and feel the wind on my face. I had not realized how much I missed it, living from one artificial world to another. And lucky me, I am getting my first sunset of the Sun in a 100 years. It is beautiful. I want to bask in the splendid sight forever. Gwen wants to take me over to meet some of the other women. Saber and Melville want to head off to look for the hidden entrance...
They drag Maggie and me off to the wolf pens. It is hard not to make a fuss, as Maggie starts to cry and is giving me the why did you let this happen look. "Chronos!" She yells at me through her tears. "You promised me." Try as she might she wiggles and tugs and drags her feet, but the two men who have her do not even notice her antics. I can only shake my head at her. There are too many people around for me to try and calm her down and I am busy modifying my plan to include Maggie as...
Camulus' smile is the same as his sister's, friendly and warm. "The names we picked are all gods of war," He warms to his subject. "I am Celtic, Gun is African and Seth is Egyptian. He was going to with a more Asian god but I think the god of war for the Hindi is a woman. Seth say it was" "And you three just knew that you were going to be grouped together?" I throw my head back and laugh. The gods of war how sophomoric but then all the names were like that. A great deal of thought,...
I start the hummer back up and get it onto the road. I can still hear her screaming. This is not good. I check the instrument panel to see how much energy I have and do a weapons check. Everything gives me a green light. I sure wish I had some music to go with the avenging angel part that I was about to play. Wagner or that guy who did Terminator. Was that scary or what. I make all the appropriate turns and get back to the camp in record time. But the screaming in my mind has stopped long...
Cleaning up Inside the bathhouse are the rest of the Protectors. They are stripping out of their soiled clothing. Seth blushes when I come in but no one comments at my appearance, so I just pull off the blood encrusted clothes along with the rest. If I weren't so tired, I think I might have even enjoyed the sight of all those well honed bodies. But tonight I am just looking for a bath, like the rest of the group. I follow when everyone troops through the far door to a sunken bath, I...
The next morning we sit Alys down at the table and spread out our maps of the area. "Alright, Alys. Now is the time to tell us where your folks are." I lay down the law, no more whining or keeping silent. She has to talk. "I can't read them." She looks sadly at the table. "Oh, for Christmas sake." Diana explodes and slams her palm down on the table. Alys jumps and shoots Diana a scared expression. I frown at Diana, but continue with Aly, in a quieter tone "Alys. Please," I say...
sonnet number 50 How heavy do I journey on the way, When what I seek, my weary travel's end, Doth teach that ease and that repose to say, 'Thus far the miles are measured from thy friend!' The beast that bears me, tired with my woe, Plods dully on, to bear that weight in me, As if by some instinct the wretch did know His rider lov'd not speed being made from thee. The bloody spur cannot provoke him on, That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide, Which heavily he answers with a...
I let Maggie go up first, she is slow. I wonder, not for the first time, why she is not as strong as the rest of these health conscious folks. Once we are at ground level Maggie leads me over to a cluster of women, I know many of them. I helped rescue them late last night. Was it really only last night. "Chronos!" one of the women calls out to me and holds out her arm to hug me. It is Gwen or should I say Gwenivier. A beautiful blonde bombshell of a lady. I walk gladly into her arms and...
We harvest all day. Not just the corn, but all the ripe vegetables that need be eaten right away or they will go bad. So, to celebrate this ending of harvest season the Kindred have a party, why not, harvests are traditional party times. The Kindred being descended from a group of historical re-enactors, then maybe they have experience with this celebration thing. As the day draws to a close, the rest of the folks who have been in conference come out and join us. Gwen's face lights up at...
"No," I say and Saul looks crestfallen. Letting the two of them know my decision. "If it is to be, it will be the three of us." "Saul loves," I smile sweetly at his sad expression. "I can not take his time with you away from you," I turn to Saul, who is now looking shocked. He may be bisexual, but I can see no one had thought to share him with Nimrod. Nimrod seems to think this is funny as he laughs some more. "I don't do girls." He raises an eye brow at me in challenge. "But...
Camulus picks himself up from the far side of the fire. He looks down at the dead Wyrm. He looks up at me and gives me this too cocky grin. "You are crazy!" He yells over at me. I can see the veins standing out in his neck. What, did he think this was a picnic, this was not as easy as it looks. Meanwhile, the rest of the Protectors finish making their approach to the carcass. "You killed the Wyrm?" Holiday twanged out in amazement. "I'll be damned." "What is that smell?" Warily...
In waking, I find Nimrod's penis hard up against my back. Somehow Saul and I have switched places in the middle of the night. So I am butt up against Nimrod and Saul is hanging off the bed. Wiggling around some till I have Nimrods length fit between my legs, I rub till he grows harder and moans in his sleep. Saul, on the other side moans in return. It is really cute. I want to reach around and kiss Nimrod but he had reacted so badly to my kiss last night that I don't dare wake him. As I am...
Napoleon curses under his breath. "Fine," he lashes out. He points at me in an accusatory fashion. "But she is Not one of my Protectors nor will she be counted as one." "Agreed," Nimrod says as calm as can be, in juxtaposition of Napoleon's anger. "Agreed," Melville nods his head to Napoleon and then to Nimrod. Everyone else nods too, looking a little shell shocked at what just happened. What did just happen? I will have to get the information out of Nimrod. "Then this meeting...
to Fight: to Heal "I would be delighted." I reply to Saul's offer, but look over at Nimrod. He seems to be watching Saul and me, trying to gauge my reactions. "Nim?" Saul says in a worried tone, does he think he has been to forward with his invitation. He climbs to his feet and shambles over to Nimrod hanging his head and hiding his eyes as if ashamed. "If that is alright with you?" "I said bring her home didn't I?" Nimrod says, pretending to be cranky. "Can we keep her?" Saul...
When I return to the cabin, Saul and Nimrod are sitting at the table making lover noises. "I am going to miss you so much." A Kissing noise that is long and wet. I grin to myself. "Oh Nim, not as much at I will miss you." more kissing sounds. They are so cute. I watch them for a minute simply to bask in their love. I wish sometimes that I could have more than physical love. I understand the pleasures of the body. It might be why I always work so hard to find someone compatible, who I...
Early the next morning, Nimrod and I stand by the Hummer with Saul, while the Protectors finish packing. Do we really need all this gear? Holiday whines as he lifts another bag. Better to be prepared, for anything, Seattle says in an overly jolly voice. I roll my eyes and smile. I find it hard to believe these three are Napoleon's lackeys. Saul will be safe with them. That's the last one, Saber says as he looks over the empty ground. I can see from the haunted look in his eye, this...
I wander around the compound after my silly escape. I look over the cabins and the food fields. I take in the night sounds. There is a light chill in the air that makes everything crisp and fresh. I ponder the stars that are, both strange and yet, a comfort to me. I will have to ask someone about them. I remember the stars used to have stories about them. Maybe I can learn something about this new/old world I am on. I let myself wander on. I feel a pull over to one of the walls. The east...
The rest of the walk is just as boring as the first part, but I am grateful to know that Annie escaped at some point during my outburst the day earlier ... If we were as close to the Brute's home base as I thought, she could lead her friends back and follow the trail of debris that the ladies had left. It is night fall when we come to walls. It looks like a prison. All high walls and barbed wire. And very ugly. No wonder these guys are brutes. We are hustled into a badly built building of...
"Oh dear gods," Anastasia says in shock, somewhere behind me. "Right, so now we know what is at stake," I say in an overly cheerful voice. "Let us now plan." Now we are getting into my territory. Rubbing my hands together as I get the ball rolling. According to Godiva, we would be tested as a group starting first thing in the morning. It is the only reason why they had not attacked us physically, yet. The plan was for us to present a unified front. We would only be as strong as our...
"Guys, I think we are being followed." I alert the Kin as I feel a trickle of fear and blood lust coming up behind us. "Good call" Seattle nods at me. "He started on our tail a couple of minutes ago." "Want me to take him?" Holiday asks. "No." Saber, hisses out his command. "let's see what he does." We continue moving as if nothing is different. The person following us is getting frustrated. "Soon" I whisper to myself as I sense the anger building. There is no noise as the...
It is a different couple that comes to our door for dinner. Melville looks like a new man, now that he has his wife back. He smiles and beams at her all the time. Godiva, Godiva looks incredible now that she is cleaned up and back home safe and sound. She is less gray and doesn't shrink back at every touch. She goes out of her way to hug us both. "Oh Nim, I was so pleased when you called us for dinner," she gushes at him. Nimrod just stands and takes it in with an indulgent grin on his...
"Come home when you get tired," is all Nimrod says as he kisses me out the door. It is full dark outside, I look around to see where they have a bonfire set. It is over by the practice grounds. I nod my head with approval as I stride over there, Green hair blowing in wind, body humming with sex and love. For some reason the universe has brought me to this place and it wants me to be with these people. I will have to work on fitting in. I am Chronos, the god of time; Defender of man, I...
The next morning I awake to being surrounded by male bodies. At first I think Saul is home again but the wet grass reminds me and I remember last night. It is the brothers. We are a tangle of bodies. They were both wonderful. I start to stretch and move my way out when Gunga Din whispers in my ear. "Wait," he sounds shy. I realize that my shifting has given him a morning woodie. He is still laying up my ass. He jerks and gives me a fast pumping action. I want to help him work it out, but...
I can't seem to stop shivering. This man is amazing. He is brave and strong and gentle and willing to love me. "Nosis," Nimrod says quietly when I don't reply. "Oh girl did I shock you?" "Yes, no," I can't seem to get the right words out, so I bring his head down to mine and slowly kiss him. What should have been an idle afternoon in the woods has turned into something more, much more than I expected. From an unspoken acknowledgment to a proposal of matrimony. What will Nimrod do...
What it all means Nimrod and I make a slow stroll around the compound. Not talking just enjoying the night and the solitude. When we finish our circuit. We head back to the cabin. "Can you feel anything out there?" Nimrod asks me as we make our way through the collections of cabins. I stop and listen. "Nothing. They should be home tomorrow," I relay to him. It is his turn to trust. "I see." "Hey there Chronos," A loud booming voice disturbs our peaceful walk. We turn to see...
I awake with Nimrod rock hard against me. So I wiggle my consent that I am awake. "Not this time. My girl," he slides a finger in then pops it out. I give a moan. "We are civilized people," he rolls out of bed. "What?" I am shocked that he is leaving. "Bath time," he reaches for his robe. "But there will be people," I whine. "Yes," he looks at me calmly as he pulls the robe shut, not really doing anything to hide the raging hard on that he has. "But I want..." I trail off...
I wave at my charges to stop and everyone turns to look at me. "All right everyone, I think you have had enough for today." Am I supposed to make a speech, I ask myself, as they are all staring at me expectantly. "I would like you to think about what you have done here. Who was in charge of the falling and who was not." I leave them with those little pearls of wisdom and turn to Godiva. "I would like to take Nev to meet Nimrod. If you don't mind?" I ask her. "Oh yes." Godiva's...
In my dreams my old lover Palto comes to me. He is whole and undamaged. His pale red skin shining with an inner light. He kneels beside my little corner of firelight. Oh Eyes, what have you gotten yourself into. He laughs down at me. Next thing I know, I am naked on the bed and his hands gently massages my back. Mmm. that feel wonderful, don't stop. I sigh into his touch, missing him as much now as my first day here. You are walking into a ticking time bomb. Enemies to front, enemies to...
The next day we come to the road, only Diana wants us skirt around it. You do not want to follow the road, going will be much easier? I ask. Easier yes, but I am not going to bet my life on it being Brute free, she says as she scans the pavement as far as the eye can see. The road is big enough of 2 way traffic, the lines and barriers, from before are barely visible. There are fallen trees lining the edges and pot holes the size of wading pools in the black top. I remember it being...
"So are we going to camp here?" Catherine asks in her usually snotty tone as we settle into the clearing. "Quiet." I snap and then whisper. "Listen to the woods." She gives me a curious frown but doesn't say anything. We sit and listen. Slowly the sounds of the wood lands penetrate my consciousness. Birds chirping and flitting about. Small creatures rustling about. Then ... They stop. Catherine gives me a surprised look. Next we hear motors. Large land vehicles drive by. Everyones...
"Well, that is mighty helpful." Catherine says in a snippy tone as she faces off with me. With another inward sigh, I realize she is back to snapping at me. I shake my head in an attempt to shake away her feelings as they slide over me. "What I mean is," I give her a sharp look that stops her from cutting me off. "You could go, on your own. Maybe you will be stealthy enough to not get caught. But you are up against somethings that you do not understand. And will you be able to hold out...
For our group, it is another day of tracking. Slowly we move through the woods, trying to find an old trail. Anything Diana can find; Broken bushes, bent branches, a piece of fabric. Nev is bouncing with anticipation. I believe we must be getting close. It is at our mid day meal that she notices a land mark from home. "That tree. It is so old we used to tell stories about it." Nev points to a tree. The tree is indeed old, it has a wide gnarled trunk. Lots of thick branches and seems to...
This time when the dream came I am resting my head in Palto's lap. He and Vashe are arguing. Thank the universe they never met in real life. "She is doing fine without your so called aid."Palto's leg tensed under my head. "I think I should be judge of that."Vashe growls at him. Dark and brooding, he flashes at Palto. "You are a nothing, a mite, boy. She would never have latched on to you if they had not pushed you together." "I object."I say as I sit up."You are both dead and...
After a good night's sleep, in real beds, the girls seem to be feeling much better. There are no more tears and they are happy to run around following Nev, as she insists on dragging them around to meet everyone. Catherine says she will keep an eye on them, as they troop out. Diana says she is going to have a look at the farm animals. With everyone running off in different directions I am free to quiz Nev's father, Howle. Howle, I want to know what odd things have been happening around...
As we get settled in to Brin's old room, I think about looking for Brin's father at first. Where has the man taken himself off to? But, on second thought I look over at Alys and can see she is a mess, she really doesn't need any more drama to her day. Brin on the other hand is plowing ahead with her plans. She seems to think it is her mother, who needs to be convinced that she is making the right move. She leaves us to follow her mother back downstairs, where, Emma said something about...
"So, what is it you are hoping to find?" I ask Diana, I am now bored and tired. We have been walking down shafts and around dead falls for a few hours. "I don't know. I was kind of hoping your universal senses would lead us to some adventure, you know." Diana tiredly explains. "So far the only real fighting has been with boys. And I was hoping to get a telling out of this." "That does it. We are going back." I say dryly at her confession. "No you is not." "Who said that?"...
With a quick practiced motion I awaken my sword. It illuminates the tunnel around us. Once more we are surrounded by solid rock and clay. My three companions are waiting for me a few steps away from the hole. "How did you know this was here?" Holliday looks around. "Trade secrete." Is all I tell him. "The universe." Diana says. "She can do Magic." Alys says. "Oh." he says. We hurry down the tunnel. "Alys, you reconsigned the dais and throne, right?" I try to be calm about...
We walk through, what seems like miles of tunnels. Holliday, busily demanding an explanation for our appearance. Diana trying to calm him down and keep him quiet. And Alys, poor Alys in the middle, not use whose side to take. "Is that rain I hear?" I break through the two Protector's arguments with my comment. "You think we've found the way out?" Diana asks, sighing in relief. "I swear, Nosis, I will never ask you for an adventure again, if that is really the outside." It's still...
Now that I am suitably clothed, Gwen says she will take me back to the men. "Is this place truly called the Home?" I just had to ask. It seem to me, that would have been too simplistic for these folks. "No," she giggles which sets her whole body in motion. "It is just called the Compound and we who live here are called the Kindred," she answers back dutifully. "The records show they wanted to name it something else. You know, one of those old cities from the bible or something, but...
"That can't be right," Dixon the Smith speaks up, shaking his head in disbelief. "Oh yes it can. But I think you are not the only ones to come under fire, so to speak." I stand and lean into the center of the table. "I think the Brute Squad was being afflicted as well. We may need to ask Godiva about that, but while we were there she mentioned that they were dying off." I end up waving the chip around for an added effect. I get a shock when I look to my side and see Nimrod is not...
Love without anxiety and without fear is fire without flames and without warmth, Day without sunlight, hive without honey, Summer without flower, winter without frost ... Chretien de Troyes, 12th century I enter the bedroom to find the men have jumped ahead of me and now Nimrod has Saul on all fours in the middle of the bed and is already pumping into him. I wait for them to slow down before making my move. Coming up behind Nimrod, I lightly stroke my hand down his back. He shudders at my...
The evening activities are less energetic than this past afternoon's. Saul and I take turns, with Nimrod in the middle, until Nimrod falls peacefully to sleep. Then Saul and I make love some more. It is just a beautiful as this afternoon even though Nimrod is asleep next to us. We can feel his love for us in his sleep. The next morning I awake to the energetic rattle of the bed frame. I turn to see my lovers fully aroused and going at it full force. At first I think about joining them, but...
The wrestlers have finished their bout, while Gunga Din and I have been looking over the training weapons. I don't know who won. I think no one cares. Gunga Din and I are the focus of the next fight. He and I walk out to the middle of the training ground. "Do you need a moment?" I ask him. He inclines his head. "Do you, need a moment?" "I am good," is all I get out before Gunga Din lets out a sharp piercing shout and swing the sword in a slash across my chest. I block without...
Where courage lies... We do not go back to bed like our happy little libidos want us to. Instead, Nimrod takes me on a tour. "And over here we have the Protector's training grounds," Nimrod says with a dry chuckle. Our cabin is only a few hundred feet from training grounds, I did manage to find them only yesterday. "South wall?" I ask pointing to the 2 story high wall that looms over the cleared area. "yes, no much grows here so it was designed to be the firing range, but after...
