says to His Delicious Torment.||: the beasts had ridden the ten pasangs hard at a full run, they were not exhausted but needed a break, in a cloud of dust, grunting and snorting from the beasts we can me a halt with the rest of the caravan that was waiting in a defensive position. Slipping from my saddle before the beast had come to a complete stop I ran to the commander Kahil "we have found the main force waiting on the opposite bank, they must be about 150 - 200 strong, they lay in wait about a pasang in just below the horizon. There did not appear to be any cavalry but they are almost sure to have mounted me available for the assault. How did it go clearing that low range of hills over to the North?"

we spoke rapidly exchanging reports Kahil reporting that the hills had been cleared with at least 50 men killed or captured that had been hiding in the low hills. "What is our tally of men Kahil, what have been our losses?" I looked over at the bearded man our dark eyes locked me a Torvie and him from the Plains his mother from the tribes of the Tahari "we have 123 men Captain, it will be a hard battle against unfavorable odds. My men are all hardened warriors, I have complete faith that they will give their all." He was grave as he looked at me a devoted and loyal commander and warrior "I reached out and gripped his shoulder and spoke "that's all we can ever hope for my Brother" then taking him across to some soft sand taking up a stick drawing in the sand as we spoke and drew up plans for the attack.

says to Steel is the coinage of : the pace was fast as they headed back to where the others waited and Her Owner was off His mount before it ground to a stop, the dust was thick and her eyes stung as she pulled her beast up and slipped down from the saddle , booted feet hitting the ground with a soft thud, grabbing the reigns of her Masters beast she led them to where a thrall was standing and asked him to see that were watered and cooled down , grabbing her bow she slung it over her back and the arrow pouch was attacked to her leather pants , moving to the caravans she filled their empty botas with fresh water from the barrels strapped to the side of the supply wagon and then grabbed some cheese n black bread from the sacks and then heads over to where her Master is speaking to the Commander

Standing quietly back a little her deep gems scan around constantly watching for anything that seems not right, her senses on high alert she has the feeling in the pit of her stomach that danger was everywhere and after seeing Her Master return from the bushs on the other side of the river she knew her feelings were right , His weapon and hands still bore blood so indeed danger was ever present , small beads of sweat trickly down her spin , the heat was so oppressive under the black tunic, her head itchy from wearing the scarf , made worse from getting wet coming back across the river then the dust sticking to their wet clothes , there will be no reprieve from this anytime soon, she waits quietly as her Master and the Commander draw maps in the dirt

says to His Delicious Torment.||: We split the group Kahil sending a runner to gather every fighting man available, the caravan will have to rely on traders , merchants and animal handlers to protect the caravans while the fighting men would be used for the assault. We had to make it appear as if we knew nothing about the waiting group of men on the opposite bank and so slowly we managed to draw away about fifty men to slip back down stream and across the river while the rest made themselves look as visible as possible on this side of the bank. Kahil had women dressing up in dark robes to appear like the armed and fighting men and a reduced force, we had to maintain the look that there were still a full compliment of men with the caravan. Four wagons pulled up to the landing and rolled slowly onto the pontoon where they would be drawn across, the wagons were closed and covered in canvas so the goods inside were protected and hidden from sight. There were rather a few men extra that saw to the crossing and stayed with the wagons as they were drawn out across the river.

I rode to join with the band of fifty well armed men that had slipped away from the caravan only to meet them about 5 pasangs from the crossing and out of sight. We rode hard to find the place where we had scouted across the river earlier, finding the place easily. I glanced over my shoulder to see the messenger and my first girl with the sandscarf wrapped about her features riding hard behind me, shadowing me a determined look in her eyes. I nodded to her in approval as I turned the beast entering the water and our group began to swim across the river to quickly gather around on the opposite bank where I spoke to them so that the attack would be co-ordinated and devastatingly effective. There me were all extremely ready for battle, it shone in their eyes, it showed up in the lines on their faces, set in determination. They carried that aura about them that they were to succeed without reprieve nor quarter given I knew that some faces would not be before me this even and admired them all, they were my brothers and they were brave and loyal men each one without exception. It was time now for battle and now we moved forward with stealth once more

says to His Delicious Torment.||: We moved quickly yet silently I had estimated that there was at least 2 trips with the Pont so about eight or twelve wagons had crossed the river by now making at least half of the caravan across the river.The prize would look more enticing now because the caravan would appear to be more vulnerable with a divided force perhaps enough to draw the out the attack. Weapons drawn we moved into an extended line formation and once the attack began move into an arrow formation.

I crouched down in the shrubbery the axe in my right hand and shield in left, a sword at my left hip I was prepared for the assault on the rear of the enemy. My left hand releasing the shield as I held up my hand in a fist signaling down the line so that men knew that they were to wait for my command, I would wait for them to start the attack first before me made our move from our point of concealment. I glanced down to my left, the little beast was crouched beside me the sand scarf wrapped about her features just her eyes showing like each and everyone of us nothing to reveal who or what gender we were. I smiled at her the love and pride showing in my eyes because she could see nothing more than that, yet she knew me well enough to be able to read it in the darkness of my eyes, a soft inclination of my head showed her that we were ready and I wished her luck in silence. The odds were against us but we had the element of surprise.

says to Steel is the coinage of :
crouching low beside her Master , her heart raced and the sound was deafening in her ears, she tried not to show her fear in her eyes as He looked to her but He knew , nothing could she conceal from Him , nothing.The bow He had given her was cluctched in her hand the arrow pouch at the ready , she had practised every chance she got so her aim was sharp, she could smell the fear drom the sweating men around her , but she also knew they would give thier very lives for her Master and the Port , out here they didnt treat her as His silk slave , they treated her as one of them ,as she would give her life for her Master and her Home.

Her eyes watched the caravans on the pontoon and she felt her senses heighten, for a moment she closed her eyes and spoke to herself , perhaps to ask for courage , perhaps to ask for the saftey of us all this day and then nodded softly to Him and waited like an animal ready to spring to her feet at His signal.

says to His Delicious Torment.||: I could see the enemy just ahead hidden in the shrubbery, the heat of the day did not disturb us too much at this stage despite the sweat that tricked against our flesh under the robes, it was the last thing that we focused upon. Then it came the attack on the caravan, at least twenty wagons were strung out in a semi defensive position down on the dirt road, there appeared to be a few men guarding the caravan, and animal minders and wagon drivers that were tending to the wagons and beasts when the call to attack came from the enemy before us. I held up my hand once more a fist showing for my men to hold their positions, it was not yet time. I could see the enemy now stand and surge forward, whoever was in command had committed all his men in the initial charge on the exposed unprotected caravan, thinking that he had the advantage he had grown arrogant and assured.

The caravan was vulnerable yet the wagons and beasts were set out in a large U the open end facing the river allowing the pont to discharge more wagons as they drew them across the river. I could see the attackers surge down the incline towards the wagons firing arrows on the run as they charged down closing the gap, it was then that the wagons had the covers thrown off and our men revealed themselves.

The fighting men had been hidden in all the wagons that crossed and the civilians were dressed as the fighting men remained on the opposite bank giving the impression that the caravan was unprotected with just a few men there. The cloud of arrows ripped into the attackers taking them by surprise, I saw men tumbling as they ran shot through with the arrows dying as they ran towards the wagons, faltering in their charge. A cheer going up from the me in the wagons as they fired a second and third volley "HAI PORT PHENIX!" the cry went up rallying the men and signalling us to attack.

says to Steel is the coinage of : seeing her Owners signal to hold , she watches as the enemy charges down at the caravan ,thinking they would have the upper hand nd slaughter the innocent their yells were full of arrogance , my tiny fists cenched around my bow wanting to fire as amny arrows as i coud get off into there shifty eyes but holding back as ordered, the canvas is suddenly thrown back from the hoops over the wagons and our fighters let out a piercing war cry as they began to attack the attackers, soon the heat and dry throat was forgotton as every sense was on alert ready to lunge on His signal, my trusty lucky copper in my boot gave me comfort as i waited .....

says to His Delicious Torment.||: I grabbed the shield and stood now looking down to the left and then right lifting my axe yelled "Hai Port Phenix!" the began to run forward, the formation was supposed to be arrow but there were a few enthusiastic individuals that were caught up in the moment as we charged down on the rear of the attackers in what resembled an arrow formation. The defenders of the caravan immediately stopped using the bow and the volley of arrows stopped they then drew their weapons and began to fight with blade, axe or whatever they could get their hands upon. They were caught unawares and surprised and as the slammed into the body of men weapons fell upon the enemy and the melee ensued.

Everything seemed to slow down as the adrenaline pumped through our veins, the fight was all in slow motion because of our heightened senses, the blood and battle lust fueling us as we attacked. The axe biting deep into the neck and shoulder of the man before in a gush and shower of blood as I ripped the weapon back releasing the steel from flesh whipping it out and up towards my left whipping it down now hacking into the next man the showed himself before me. My peripheral vision kept the little first girl on my left and slightly behind me always so that I could cover her right and left side while she saw to my left and behind me. The fighting was fierce, blood splattered and raging we fought hacking and cutting into the center of the raiders, breaking them up into small pockets where small individual fights continued the tide of the battle turning in our favor

says to Personal combat is the u: On my Owners signal we surge forward my bow at the ready staying slightly behind Him on His left ready to shoot anything that comes sideways , the spray of blood is everywhere , as His axe is kissing flesh , the blood raining down on me as arteries spurt, out of the corner of my eye i see someone charging sideways and twist and send an arrow towards him , as he moves forawrd my arrow finds its mark and his eyeball explodes and then He falls to His knees and i signal for one of ours to finish him as my booted feet surge forward behind my Owner , the sounds of angusih is everywhere as men fall , and the battle cry of "Hai Port Phenix" resounds around us , heart racing as she never looses sight of Him

says to Personal combat is the u:
It was morning and the day was sunny. It was indeed a good day… he had gotten up early today. He had a lot of things to do so the man named Nicanor had sent bob to finalize the sale of his stake in boswell camp although he would keep his house there as a retreat if he wanted to go on a hunting trip. So with Bob gone Nic had to arrange somewhere to stay here and somewhere to do his caste work. He had already for his caste work he could do something basic until he had a builders yard and workshop. Testing coins for merchants would be a good start. At the moment he decided to go on a ride on his kallia around the area to see what building materials there are. What type of stone was about and wood and other materials so a scout about was the place to start for him so he left the port on his beast. Of course he had alot of his tools oh his beasts saddle. He had saddle packs full of tools and all kinds of things. After all he was a builder and he was damn good at it. Yah he was a little mhmm well crazy is the best word for it. Odd and eccentric was another. He also wanted to think about what he was asked to do.. he was not of the secret clan of torturers anymore he left that behind in the plans but he was asked to help out the new home. He would have to think about it before he did anything like that again. He was a happy joker of a man these days not the rage filled youth that hated turians to the core of his being. He moved on. But it did not mean he would not do it. He just needed to think about it.

He was not far from the road as he road to a high point to have a look around.. down the road some way was what looked like a group of men that looked up to no good. Anyway he was a curious fellow so he decided to follow them for awhile at a distance.. Anyway after awhile it came clear they was going to ambush a caravan. So Nic he had weapons but would be single handedly attack a group of men that out numbered him and was armed to the teeth. No well maybe depends on his mood. Even though he had weapons on him at all times he had a even more dangerous weapon. His brain and he had built all kinds of siege engines in the past he was fascinated by them. He was looking about for stuff to use and on top of a hill out of sight he found everything he needed . A few broken wagons from ether another attack or just left there cause the merchant was in a hurry He found some ether spear shafts or handles for tools. He was not sure what they was going to be for but a idea formed in his head and he smiled like a kid with a magnified glass and a insect nest. So he got to work. He broke apart the wagon with his crowbar. Well if this seems unrelistic do remember this is just how armys did it. They built a lot of siege weapons on improve and to order because most sieges just happen. They are not always plain because no one likes sieges they suck big time cause they can last a long time and the sooner they are over the better. So Nic got to work fast. The sensible thing to do would have been to get help but lets face it Nic was not a sensible man hell every day as a builder was courting blue flames.


So he took it apart then rebuilt it. A rectangle frame at the front with round poles coming off and wheels reattached at the rear with a hook so he could pull it with his kaiila… it was not as big as it could have been with more time and stuff. was just a fast basic one that was eight foot wide and seven long . It took him a few ahn to make with the cables and a a few fastly made cranks and a few sharpened sicks. By the time the attack stated the ballista was ready… hell he made all kinds of things for fun. He made a catapult to throw people into the water for giggles once. Yah that was fun. So a giant crossbow out of a broken wagon was cake. Hell he made a siege tower to repair a roof once. Why ? cause he could. So he went to the highest point over looking and he saw the attack start so he went down the hill or high point and onto the rood about a thousand yards from the attackers.

What the attacks might see is a lone kaiila coming onto the road pulling something. One man was not a threat but as they seemed to be distracted by the fact that inside the wagon was lots of armed men in a trap they would not more than likely notice Nic stopping getting off his beast. Unhooking the ballista then using his muscles he moved it into place.. he then opened up the arms on the side and connected the cab;le to the lunching bucket. He loaded the bucket with about thirty sharpened sticks.. He then put down the feet and set the crabnk so he could lift the front of it.. He cranked and looked through the end aiming for the mass of the attackers that was away from the caravan. He did not want to hurt innocence people. When he was clear he fired and a rain of sharped sicks would fire into some of the attackers. Some would of course miss and Nic would crank and re aim and reload. Yah this would be a surprise for the attackers and the defenders with a roar of a voice. “ Run tarskies run!!! Daddies got a big toy!!!”

says to His Delicious Torment.||: Kicking at the knee of the man to my left making him go down on that knee while my shield whipped out edge first the steel rimming catching him in his left temple knocking him down either concussed or dead. While the axe again swung out to the right wrist twisting the cutting edge leading as it caught another raider on the bicep hacking into the limp leaving it dangling on a strip of skin as arterial blood showered over my right forearm. We were covered in blood it was a bloody business with death being our purpose, we will send our enemies across the river Hades because Odin was at our backs. "HAI PORT PHENIX" the cry went up again as we fought like dijn's possessed.

The raiders were breaking up now and running there was little resistance left and small pockets of men still held out. The archers again shooting at the backs of the running men as they tried to escape it was easy to identify between the men of the caravan and the men dressed as Aretai tribesmen, we had them on the run now. Calling out to the defenders now as we surged forward mopping up, the ballista had taken out a few running men making it easier for the men to follow on foot or on kaiila back to dispense of the remaining attackers. We had broken the attack on the caravan and now the road was clear all the way to Corcyrus and Turia. Of course there was still the captured leaders that had to be interrogated, this much men with a co-ordinated army was no small armed band but an organised force with someone big behind the scenes

says to Personal combat is the u: He only had a limited amount of ammo. He only had a few ahn to make this thing but they did not know that at all as he could see the fight unfold maybe he was not even needed but like the attackers he had ashamed when the carvan came into view it was undefended and well he was no coward he had a red mark on his face to prove it. He was abit of a psycho if truth be told. He expected the few guards to be over whelmed and to cull most of them before they realized he was alone and take on what was left. But that had not happened it seemed the caravan was in fact a trap so maybe they would just assume he was apart of the trap. He had ten more make shift arrows and three large ones he could fire the ten in one go and the three in single file. So he had to pic wisely. But he didn’t need to do anything more. They was broken. So he hooked his kaiila to his toy and road back towards the port. He might have someone to play with later if he decided to do that. He would whistle while he road. Yah might be a big man behind this pain but Nic was the wildcard and wild cards could be a good thing or a bad one. So off he road like he just had a morning stroll.

says to | |--| - j a m e e - |--: The caravan had started to arrive at the pont the landing already had a few of the lead wagons waiting, while the pont was on its way back from the opposite bank. I had tethered the kaiila over near the trading store allowing an animal minder to feed and water the beasts. I stood on the bank looking out at the opposite side, my eyes scanning the bank for anything that looked out of place or odd. I was feeling uneasy about this crossing. It was a perfect pinch point that could be taken advantage of. The girls were with me they had come one ahead of the rest with me to take a look at things and try and facittate the crossing before the wagons and pack beasts arrived.

says to His Delicious Torment.||: The other wagons were beginning to pull in and begin to congregate over in an open field beside the river bank. I watched as men ushered the wagons into orderly positions so that they would be able to move out when needed. I was not feeling comfortable about the whole set up and wondered where Kahil the Commander was we needed to talk. I wanted to know what feedback there was from the scouts on the opposite side of the bank.

turning to soraya "go and find the Commander kahil and ask him to join me here on the banks I need to speak to him its rather urgent" my dark eyes looked over her enjoying her as always despite her dressed in a hooded robe and carrying a bow and quiver of arrows. I had used her always as a messenger even in the thickest of battles of late and she had proved her worth on more than one occasion.

says to | |--| - j a m e e - |--: my attention now at you my gaze sweeping over you, we were all dressed the same in nondescript dark hooded robes without banners nor insignia. We had been all armed the same so that the outlaws and raiders would have no idea who or where we had come from. "jamee go back to the trading post" my arm pointing at the stone block building "check on the beasts tell the minder that they must be ready to ride within an ihn should they be needed. He was not to unsaddle them. I also want you to get some sa tarna bread, dried meat and fresh water we may be travelling for a few days away from the caravan. We may need to move within the ahn." with that I turned again to survey the opposite bank and the low ranger of hills on our side of the bank but further north

The men look at her as she moves amongst them saying nought to her but parting so she can get through , seeing the Commander deep in conversation she moves abit closer and then he turns to her and she passes the message on and soon she was following Him back to where her Master waits

says to His Delicious Torment.||: The commander came up and stood beside me and we both surveyed the opposite bank "I have heard that the scouting party you sent across the river has still not returned, its been what 3 days now, I fear them lost. This situation that we are in is untenable we have to avoid this, despite us foreseeing this we have allowed us to get into this situation that could lead to disastrous consequences." I glanced over at the Commander, both of us had the sand scarves hanging loosely about our necks so that we could see each others faces. "we need to know whats happening across the river before we cross. I will take five with me and move downstream about 6 or 8 pasangs before we cross, we will swim the river then scout the opposite bank. I will send back a messenger with word."

I spoke to him my gaze still sweeping the opposite bank without using my hands to indicate any directions, turning to him once more "you will see to it that the caravan gets into a defensive position immediately, we may have to spend the night here without crossing, I want those hills over to the North on our side of the bank secure, I need the high ground overlooking the pont crossing. See to it kahil" The Commander already knew what was needed but nodded his affirmation I could see the concern in his eyes as he spoke "we are in a weak position here Captain, we will secure it as best we can. I will see it I assure you." with that he turned to attend to my commands while I headed back to the trading post and where the beasts were at the ready jamee and soraya shadowing me as we went

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Falls in behind You with jamee ,
seeing the bread and fresh botas she had collected she could not help but feel this was going to be a very long day till we found a place to rest, the sound of the river rushing is loud and she just feels uneasy and quickens her pace to be near Him, she fears nothing when she is next to Him , her biggest fear is separation , her small booted feet kicking at the dirt as they near the hut , glancing to jamee trying to read her eyes to see what she would be feeling , the Commander having departed off to do as Master had instructed she looked at the growing number of caravans

says to His Delicious Torment.||: mounting the beasts swiftly knowing that they had been watered but not fed properly we rode off, they would feed while we were on the way. Heading back to the road and riding south for ten pasangs before cutting off the road and east towards the river which was about another ten pasangs away, we did not want to let the enemy see what we were up to but we had to check what was happening on the opposite bank before we committed any men on either side of the bank. I had hoped that Kahil and the men would sweep the hilly range to the north on our side of the bank without event because I knew that if it were me I would have a force on the high ground and on the opposite bank so that I could attack the caravan while they crossed the river, their attention and guard being down to perform such a manoeuvre.

approaching the bank we had to ride along further south to find a narrower section for crossing only to find one just further south. We slipped from the beasts stripped naked our clothes in a bundle to keep dry and began to walk the beast into the water, the river was not too wide at this part and then began swimming across one at a time me going first then a men and girls one by one with Caleb bringing up the rear swiming across. We waited on the bank stripping down and wringing out the dampness from the clothes dressing quickly in silence before spreading out single file and moving off along the bank in silence about a pasang in'

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Following closely behind you a rider sees me and instead of waiting for me to try and lift up he siply lifts me to the saddle and i nod with thanks and soon have the beast caught up with my Master, the only sound was the hooves hitting the ground and the dust was everywhere and she stayed focused on her Owner nd soon they turned and they were at the river bank and sliding from the mount she saw that they were going to swim across ....

Seeing her Master motion to strip and bundle the clothes to keep them dry she feels the fear rise in her tummy at the thought of the water but soon followed Him in the beast moving aong side her and she just aimed to keep her head above the water and her legs kicked as fast as she could , a few times she had a mouth full of the dirty water but soon she saw the bank and clammered out relieved to be back on solid ground, quickly dressing she fell in behind Him silence is everywhere

says to His Delicious Torment.||: The kaiila were silent as the walked, they had been well trained and sensed the necessity for stealth, they were in hunt mode, we were all in hunt mode and as we moved we all stayed silent only hand signals to communicate. No bare steel to glint or make a sound so our progress was silent and cautious. The brush was high with small trees that were rather thick down at the river banks but thinned out the further away from the river we moved. We traveled in single file our bows close at hand our senses heightened and in tune with everything about us. We listened for any out of the ordinary sound that was not natural the sounds of the fleer overhead was heartening because they took no notice of us as we moved silently North towards the river crossing and the Pont, the closer we got, the slower and more cautiously we moved eyes and ears straining for anything and sign of an ambush

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: The tension in the air was thick as we moved silently , her heart was pounding and she was sure it could be heard , her eyes flickering from side to side at every movement, the rustle of the breeze was enough for her small hand to reach for her bow, eyes darted upwards then back to scan around , the crossing was up ahead and her breathing was shallow as she let her senses over take her fear so she could pick up on anything that was not right, her Master was in front of her and she watched Him for signals , each no matter how trivial it may of been was teated as a threat they kept moving forwards.....

says to His Delicious Torment.||: the ground was relatively flat with a slight and gradual incline that sloped away from the river bank, we had been travelling parallel to the river bank about a pasang away moving slowly when I suddenly realized that there were no sounds to be heard, it had gotten quiet. I held up my hand to stop leaning foward laying low on the back of the beast as I listened. I heard nothing but something did not feel right, the river was down the gradient to my left and while we were still under cover of the brush I hoped that we had not been seen. Slipping from the beast the others following suit while I drew the saber from its scabbard I moved forward through the bush up ahead leaving the others behind. Crouching as I moved forward I had no idea what it was that I would encounter, but whatever it was it did not feel like it would be a welcoming party.

moving slowly and low I almost bumped into the outlaw as he slept under a tree, there was one other nearby he sat there looking down out across a small trail and down towards the river bank. Pausing I drew the knife from my kidney scabbard and readied myself. Trying to see if there were any others in the immediate vacinity, but couldnt see any. It was three quick steps that brought me to the lookout and with one quick movement with the blade cut his throat before he could make a sound. The saber now arcing found the sleeping man killing him in his sleep, slashing his throat before he even awake. Quickly I moved forward to see what else I could find but had scarcley moved 30' when I saw the main body of men waiting for the signal to attack. I watched estimating the force to be all of 150 to 200 men all armed for hand combat no archers were in sight, yet that did not mean that there were any..they were all dressed in robes of the Aretai Taharian tribesmen and enemy of my ally the Kavar. Keeping low I slipped back to the rest of my group in silence

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Seeing my Masters hand signal i pulled on the beasts reigns and it stopped silently, watching as He lowered down listening,until them she had not realised actually how quiet it really had become knowing the river was done there it
was still not easy to see because of the dense brush seeing my Owner slide silenty from the beast soon my booted feet met the earth soundlessly and i reached for my bow and withdrew and arrow and had it loaded pointing to the ground but within an instant it could be sent in any direction that was needed

Disappearing within the bush my Master crouched low like a predator hunting and she felt a bead of sweat trickle down her back she did nt move she held postion ready for whatever may happen next

It felt like time had stopped as she waited her eyes riverted to the place he had slipped into the bushes , her heart beating wildly she waited and then she saw You come back out and she finally drew in a deep breath .

says to His Delicious Torment.||: There was little doubt what the look in my eyes portrayed, it was concern, no speaking just a silent nod and I waved my arm back showing that we were to retreat again in the direction we had come from, Caleb taking up the lead now as we silently retraced our steps as quietly and cautiously as we did while approaching still in single file me taking up the rear still with the blood stained saber in my hand. It was about an ahn later that we mounted the beasts and rode in silence back down towards the river to cross, there was no stripping down this time we rode our beasts into the water swimming with them and emerging sopping wet from the water the beats taking off back the way we came. We had to get back to the caravan to strategize and make a plan to spoil or avoid the impending attack. I wondered how Kahil was doing in the low hills on the river banks?

His shirt had been removed …seems the wound had stopped Bleeding but the arrow was still lodged in the chest… just up closer to the shoulder……I made my way towards The Man and Knelt off to one side so I was down at His body level…. my hand Felt his forehead and I motioned to the slave "get me a bowl of water and some rep cloth….for now I was the only person who would care for his wounds…he would have no idea i was one of the archers….I placed The med kit to the floor and opened it ….I would only offer this man basic care I was a merchant not a healer…But I did know a few things…after all I was a Scarer……


the bowl of water placed on the floor alongside the Med kit… the guard checked the ropes that kept this man secured on the cot…… I began to wipe the cloth round The arrow shaft…. the head had passed through jammy had already broken that arrow head off but left the rest to reduce bleeding….I pressed hard on the wound alongside the arrow shaft and Looked to the Mans face……watching the pain cover his face… and smiled….. he moaned and Moved a little the shackles shaking some……then gripping the arrow I moved it back and forward… the man screamed in pain as the guards Moved closer I raised My hand slowly…..

"it is fine sir you are safe" she spoke softly to the Man…in attempt to rouse him back to life so to speak….His head moved slow from one side to the other… I looked over his body to see many wounds some deeper then others but for Now they would be fine…

"Nyah…How many of these tormented are hung…how many already dead in there chains?' does this ever stop and do these men ever sleep even in the Heat of the Day?

I gripped at my cape and pulled it round my body as I turned to look at The woman's face and looked deep in her eyes…..

"How dare you…How dare you compare those outlaws to These Men"

"I did not " she sprouted…the screams coming from the wagon." I feel the same way as you do Nyah"

"Liar friend of the Outlaw...they are killers….do you not realise without this Information you are Not safe….your children The people of the Homes that travel along these roads…. it could be you in that wagon if it had Been you captured….but No Our Men these men do what They have to to find out where, how and when we could be attacked again….do you not realise this?"

says to His Delicious Torment.||: The smoke burnt my eyes making them already more bloodshot than they were, the smell of smoke clinging to our hair and clothes as the fires that burn carried the thick oily smoke of the dead enemy burning as they were piled up under wooden pyres and set alight. Still splattered with blood and grime we walked across the field while men checked the dead separating ours from the enemy, ours would have a funeral pyre while the enemy were unceremoniously disposed of.

The caravan was stationary and strung out along the road still as most counted their losses and assessed the damages. I saw Caleb working with his men picking through the bodies killing the wounded enemy and having their bodies dragged to the fires for cremation. His men had done well picking off the raiders with courageous fury he himself dispatching the leader to Hades without mercy. He had done well in his first skirmish as a leader I was pleased.

as I walked my shadow cast over the small figure that remained at my side following never straying further than a few steps, she had nearly been lost and that would have been more terrible than me losing a general as I had come to rely on her more than ever now, she was my right hand. Turning to her as we walked, my eyes red from the smoke "did you send word to Kahil that the caravan was safe and that once he was done mopping up he was to do a quick sweep of the area to ensure it was clear of raiders and to identify a decent place to camp overnight?"

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Walking along side my Master ,every part of my body was aching , the head scarf discarded for now,the sound of blood squelching in my small boots as we walked , it was hard not to breath in the pungent smell of death as the fires burned disposing of the enemies pitiful remains , the back of her hand was used to brush her mane from her face as she listened to her Masters words,this day had been hard many sent to the cities of dust , a few by her own arrows and she contemplates this quietly ,she would do anything to help protect the Home , its people and of course her beloved Master and she would be foolish to think she had made a big impact on the outcome today but she did her best evern though she did get caught of guard by that raider , if her Master hadnt seen....she shudders to think of the outcome , but he had and she realised then how much she loved the man whos steel adorned her neck,she will try harder tomorrow be more alert , and be sure not to let herself get in a postion like today ...."aii my Master she had sent a rider to inform Him so He will be aware"

hoping they could find a place to wash and she had placed spare clothes in Nyahs caravan for them both she could just hear squelch squelch squelch as they walked truly unsure if it was only her boots filled with blood...

says to His Delicious Torment.||: Looking down at the little beast as I walked hearing the sound of her boots as she walked. Her blood streaked face and hair caused me to be concerned for her knowing that she was exposed to terrible things today. Issues that she probably had no prior exposure too or what the impact would be on her emotionally. I knew that she walked and functioned well doing what she had to do but inside her heart and mind I knew what she grappled with, it was worse for her than it would ever be for me. This was not what she was trained or lived for and I would not allow it again. I would not want to lose her or have her injured.

I smiled as she answered me nodding with satisfaction and her efficency while turning now to one of the traders at his wagon.."check for damage we will be moving on again soon so that we can camp for the night and count stock of our position. Pass on the word, I will tell the caravan Master. You did well today defending your property, well done and thank you." I smiled as I moved on, soraya walking alongside carrying a lance that she had picked up, it may have even been the one the raider had tried to use to dispatch her to the city of dust.

Continuing to walk along the length of the caravan checking with the men as I walked ensuring they were fine and the losses not too heavy yet satisfied that they were all in good spirits, despite the withdrawn faces after the adrenalin rush they were happy to be alive and victors. Speaking to the men as I made my way made them appreciate my leadership and most pointed to where I could hear the caravan Master shouting out orders as he sent his men to do his bidding

as we walked up the Olaf the caravan Master a Torvie to be sure he turned to me "Tal Captain, these stupid men are still in battle shock, they need to get their arses into gear because we need to get these wagons and beasts moving" a curt nod was my response "yes of course Olaf we need to get to a suitable camp site for the night so we can assess what our damages are and the next contingency plan in place." Glancing over my shoulder I watched as a few bodies were piled onto a prye "you will need to bring our dead with so we can have the funeral prye near the camp once things have settled, carry on my good man" and with that we headed off to get out kaiila's that we could rondivous with Kahil

says to Personal combat is the u: Keeping pace with her Master she listened as he spoke to several of His men , praising them for how hard they had fought , her eyes couldnt help but flicker to the piles of dead , many she reconised from around the Port and her heart panged , many of the men were victorious and some just seemed sullen realising what had occured perhaps a few were like her and had never actually seen death on such a scale but she would rather be here by her Owners side than back in a wagon wondering where and how He was.

she had the lance in her small hand that the raider had held to her throat and she is truly unsure why she had picked it up but she had and she clenched it in her hand and kept up with him, a few of His men had nodded to her as she passed them and she dared not look at them unsure what her features would portray , hearing Olafs words she knew soon they would be on the move again and she hoped soon they could rest and she could care for her Owner and make him something to eat and check he truly was unhurt , and get out of the stench of these clothes.

Heading to the beasts she knew soon a pyre would once more be lit and the fires would rage carrying our own off to the cities of dust .

says to His Delicious Torment.||: when soraya had fallen from her beast or later in the battle she had lost her mount, in fact we both had, but as with most military trained beasts they would find their way back to where they were last dismounted. I found soraya's beast but it was injured and so leaving it with an animal Master to see to it. Mounting my own kaiila I reached down and dragged soraya by the arm dragging her up behind me allowing her to cling to me while kicking my heels into the beasts flanks making it set off clawing into the dirt as it took off into a run. We rode back north past the head of the caravan on towards the North and the Commander Kahil with his contingent of men sweeping the road. We found a rider waiting for us about 4 pasangs down the road following him down a track to a flat area near the deep flowing river where we would set up camp. The girl slipped from the beast with me following, I handed her the reins so that the beast could be tethered. "find us a place to sleep for the night I will seek out Kahil." winking at her I turned to search for the commander.

I found him speaking to a small group of his lieutenants "Tal Kahil," he nodded at his men as he had just finished with them sending them out to act on his commands. "We have captured the leader of the group, he is wounded shot through by an arrow. We will keep him well secured so that we can glean as much knowledge from him as possible." raising a brow I grinned "that is good news, reward whoever it was that captured the head of the Ost" He laughed at my words."I will leave that up to you Captain, it was your companion and her girl that managed to get him, The slave shot him and Nyah captured him." Laughing at this news "I surely will" winking at the man before turning serious once more

"we need a pyre set up away from the camp, down wind and we need to take stock of our men, weapons, defenses, and damage so that we can make informed decisions on what to do next. We have 3 more days before we get to the city of Turia I do not want any more problems. There is a large river crossing coming up, I need that area secure so that we will not be ambushed yet again." He nodded I have already sent orders to get the prye ready, the camp site is being made secure as we speak, men are checking all weapons and defensive capabilities. I will send men to check on the pontoon crossing at first light my Captain" I nodded and smiled pleased that my Commander knew what was needed before he was informed. A good strategist was always hard to come by. I left him now to seek out my little beast so that we could wash eat and rest, the night would be long and the day tomorrow even longer.

says to Personal combat is the u: looking at her injured beast she frowns slighty , hoping it woud be well enough for her to ride come morn she feels her Owner lift her up behind Him and she slides as close as she can to Him, wrapping her arms around His waist, her hair now fress from the head scarf and braid she tucked her face to His back and as her long mane flew out behind her as he urged the beats on with His boots,
heading north they soon passed the caravan and stopping briefly she gathered up a pack of fresh clothes for them and soon they met up with rider men who lead us down a track to a deep and fast flowing river , the Commander kahil was sweeping the road with his men so for now she thought it could be safe, for now,

Slipping off the beast her Master hands the reigns to her and finds a animal handler to feed and water it , asking him to wipe the beast down as it to was lathered in sweat and blood and could easily get a chill from the events just past she looks at the river and the currentand then back to the flat area and soon was preparing an area for His sleeping furs picking up a fallen small branch she begins to sweep an area smooth discarding any rocks she could see so that He may get a rest this night, knowing he never fully sleeps but hopes some comfort can be sort , the small pack contained fresh clothes for both of them and a rider brought her things she would need to make Him a meal , moving to te river she caefully filled the small pot with a wire handle and took back up to where a fire had been started and she placed the water to boil to make Him black wine, verr cheese and black bread were pulled from a cloth sack and she busied herself trying to clear todays events from her mind and soon she had food and a hot drink prepared and she sat for a moment her head in her hands as she waited for Him

The attack on the caravan is repelled

says to His Delicious Torment.||: the second group had broken away and during the attack things were chaotic and during the fog of war we had lost contact with the small group that had ridden towards the road. I had seen that the crazed attempt to break out and attack the hill was actually very clever as it distracted the efforts of my men at the attack and not the second splinter group that was no doubt heading towards the caravan. The guards at the caravan were alert but I doubted that they were an even match to these obviously seasoned raiders. During the fighting I saw that we were getting the upper hand My companion and her aide were with the main group of defenders who had now turned the tide of the battle, turning to Kahil I spoke rapidly "I will ride after the spliter group...you see to this lot and mop up. I will speak to you again Commander" Turning and running back along the ridge then down towards the kaiila that were tethered soraya waiting there had my beast ready to ride, with one bound I had mounted she following suite both beasts already running while she pulled herself into the saddle following closely behind

says to Personal combat is the u:
The reigns of His beast held tightly in her small gloved hand , her eyes kept scanning for her Owner to appear and her heart seems to be pounding wildly in her chest , nipping under the scarf at her bottom lip until He appears and handing Him the reigns soon she has mounted her own beast and with booted heel kicks its flanks and urges the beast to keep its pace matched , the hot humid air brings nil relief as He turned the beast south and she was close behind

The relentless dust was everywhere as the hooves seemed to barely touch the ground, the chilling snorting sounds of the kaiila seemed to pentrate the quietness , the constant thump thump as they traveeled at pace over uneven ground she usues her thighs to keep her seat as she feels sweat trickle down her back

He was right.. but the moment something happened I was back being all tensed up .. I was highly concentrating on the road ahead... I needed to do ... the wagon would be steered down the road. Josh rode His large beast next to the wagon, His sword held in the palm of His right hand ... "Keep it straight Renee, I think we nailed this.. I am not sure just yet, but it seems the road is clearing" Josh was always at my side, just as much as Brinn was... I was nodding while being in thoughts.. "I see Josh, thank you" the wagon wwas rolling and rocking *

says to ALL: And where was he, he was out off the road heading to a caravan and he was told that was close and could use a hand. He saw some fighting at the road and off it, but he did not know who it was. Then he saw the Captain and his slave riding off coming closer to him and other figures coming as well. He held up his hand to bring to a halt the 40 men with him and waved his hand for them to take a arrow formation the waited and watched ready to charge.

says to -• The Spitfire •--•| Re: The beast hurtled forward, the sounds of the battle had set its nerves on edge and now the beast was set free to run, hurtling down the road towards the caravan I saw the Lieutenant Caleb with his small band of men, waiting for orders as I rode past without slowing I simply waved my arm indicating for him to follow in pursuit. I was sure that the caravan was now under attack.

I knew that the splinter group would never attack straight on but rather harry the caravan from the sides of the road, I had seen that they had ranged weapons bow and lance but wondered what their approach would be. My concern was for the loss of some of the good, and the people from Corcyrus I needed them safe.

the caravan appeared up front at a distance from a pasang away and I could see that there was activity and fighting already guards were trying to fend off the attackers from what appeared to be the rear of the caravan, fighting on both sides of the road seemed intense, they must have gathered more raiders because the numbers had swelled from the original number in fact almost doubling, I was sure that we were now outnumbered.

Turning and shouting over my shoulder at Caleb pointing down the left side of the column "you go left and half follow me," the group riding hard split and swept down either side of the caravan cutting into the raiders like a hot knife through butter. We were now engaged in individual combat my soraya now by my side bow in hand dispatching raiders while I swung my axe hacking into men as we swept down the column towards the rear.

says to Personal combat is the u: dropping the reigns and directing the beast with her knees she pulls an arrow from the sheath and draws back on the string one eye closed as she sights her intended target and lets go the whistling whoosh so close to her ear as she watches it hit the target solidly in the chest and he tumbles to the ground and quickly reloads, her Master beside her with his axe she feels something wet seep thru her sleeve and she looks down and sees blood but feels nothing then quickly realises its from the spray off His axe and she finds another in her sights and lets the arrow fly ,hitting a shoulder she sees him pull it free and glare in her direction and she relaods and fires another arrow off this time hitting him in the eye socket and he drops like a drunken salior flat onto the harden earth, her eyes behind the scarf seek out her Owner ..

says to ALL: * I released the reigns to vin who was next to me on the bench... grabbing a hold of my bow.. I was in need to launch my arrows as soon as they needed to be, the arrows were dragged closer .. there was already one arrow being placed on the notch.. "practice makes perfect vin!" I growled out my words, the veils were tightly wrapped around my face... I didn't stand up.. no that would have been foolish.. but the depths of liquid brown was looking left to right. the place was swamped with kailla-riders.. the stampede sounds were almost deafening ... teeth grabbing a hold of my lower lip. I hoped that my arrows would hit target... I needed them to be... on the right side, one was way to close! Josh was fighting, stabbing another man that attacked him as well ... I pulled the string back and released the arrow to the Man that shouldn't be at my right.. I felt the wild beating of my heart... inwardly praying ... but outside.. cool .. calm .. the spitfire was oozing through out the nice modest woman I was pretending to be ... the arrow hit the Man in the shoulder and He cried out "Hail Corcyrus!"

says to ALL: He and his men broke off the charge letting the Captain pass thru and waved a hand and turned them to where the was heading. His mounts were fresh and rested so he caught up quick. He heard the Captains words and looked back to the left his twenty men.” As her said, you twenty go with him.” He yelled loud enough for them to her him. The word was passed down the line and they broke off to follow the Captain. “The rest with me, left side,” he told them and the raced ahead but stays the same distance as the Captain so they would come in crushing the raiders at the same time. He had his short bow with him and reached back to his right and pulled a arrow, when he was close he would fire a arrow then put it back to it place on the saddle and removed his quiver placing it on its hook, then he would draw his sword and axe, sword in right hand and axe in his left. He held the notched ready to fire when the time was right. He let the beast take him in letting his hand free to fire the arrow and hit the target in the back and he dropped. He was not going to stay on his beast he jumped off safely and started a walked to his enemies. The ax he held at a third way down from the head and lifted it up high and his sword pointed at the closest raider.

says to His Delicious Torment.||: the kaiila swept down the sides of the caravan, mounted rider against mounted rider, the melee was no longer co-ordinated as men fought hard. I had my girl covering my left side closest to the wagons and pack beasts I on the outside my right hand hacking at man and beast trying to turn the tide in the battle and at the same time protect the caravan from too much loss.

I felt my robes tug but did not worry, my right hand whipping in a high right to left arc, the bearded axe cutting through the air to beat a lace point away from me and with the same movement twisting my wrist and running the axe in a reverse action strike back at the attacker the cutting edge of the axe hacking through muscle and bone of his right wrist in a gush of blood as his hand still gripping the lance fell away. My boot drenched in his blood as he screamed and wheeled his mount away, my attention already no the next threat raider on foot with his lance trying to impale one of the pack beast handlers, the axe again whipping in a right to left high to low diagonal strike as I lent out low to my right in the saddle so that my reach would catch the raider under his jaw, taking it off and leaving it hanging by a flap of skin and blood his teeth showing white as it swung away with the arc of the axe. My left hand gripping the beast helped pull myself up onto its back to catch the rest of the battle.

I caught Caleb and the other riders sweeping down the other side of the caravan men screaming and cries of "Hai Port Phenix" as they fought off the raiders from that side of the column, My attention of course on my enemies and my girl, always covering the right while she the left. The fighting had now degenerated down to individual combat between raiders and defenders, the battle intense as we all fought while being out numbered.

says to ALL: * I listened to the cries of the others. I could hear Dhal closeby.. another arrow was grabbed out of the sheath and soon it was notched. I was glancing about "Hold it steady vin!" and with that I rose to my feet, setting one of foot on the bench swiftly turning about, rising the entire length of my body ... I was looking about when something caught my attention on the right once more ... I could glance over the wagon bow before aiming to the raiders at the right side, I withdrew the string of the arrow an soon it was sent flying to the Man.. A horrible sharp cry of pain was heard when He grabbed to the arrow at his throat .. and soon He fell down from His kailla... "YES! Another one bites the dust!" and I smirked, swiftly lowering myself back to the jocky box, grabbing hold of another arrow and notched it already... bloodthirsty glance in the depths of brown eyes...*

says to Personal combat is the u: the sounds of pain ring thru her ears as she gets down to her last arrow , the beast frothing at His mouth as she takes aim and then she feels her self strong hands pull her sideways and she desperatley tries to stay mounted but the beast is spooked and rares up and she tumbles downwards to land on the dirt , the wind knocked out of her she tries to push her self up but feels a boot in the middle of her back then a langauage she does not understand yelling down at her .... she tastes blood in her mouth thinking she must of bit her lip as she fell and thank a rough hand yanks at her arm rolling her onto her back she begins to kick at him her red boots landing on his shins and then he pokes her with the tip of his spear looking strangely at her and he bends down a rips the scarf from her head and the shock was eveident in his eyes that she was not a young warrior but a kajira and her midnight eyes bore into his as she drew what she thought would be her last breath ...

says to ALL: He was on foot and meet up with a raider, he lifted his sword to cut at his chest, the warrior batted away the sword and brought down the axe with his might and his axe sliced through the helm and sank into the man’s head. Caleb let the handle of the axe slide through his hand and there was another raider right there, He dodged to the right and pulled his sword to sing back to the right and sliced right through the raiders guts. His 15 men, standing with bow, saw many of the raiders on mounts and notched arrows and fired at the mounted ones. The other three were at Caleb’s side and fighting two to toe with him and killing anything that looked like an enemy. As he fought his energy within his rose, he began to feel fire filling his veins. He wanted to kill everything close to him that was not his own. He reached to his back and grabbed his dagger in his left hand and started for another raider that was about to climb the wagon. Blood was coming down like rain around him and his other three men; they were all fired up because Caleb was fired up. Caleb spoke of curses and growled as he fought. He knew he and all the men were outnumbered but this was a fight they were going to win. The mounted Raiders saw Caleb’s men firing those arrows and turned their mounts to come to them, they tossed their bows over their shoulder and drew blades.

says to His Delicious Torment.||: The stench of bloody flesh and dying filled the air and the cacophony of sound as the battle raged, the axe wielded with deadly force and precision as it sung through the air, steel upon steel rang out while everything seemed in slow motion as adrenaline pumped through our veins the killing lust upon us. I realized that my left side was now empty and with a sideways glance I saw her laying on her back and he was standing over her his lance point at her throat. I felt my heart crushed within the fist of fear, my dark eyes opened wide in terror at losing her and I realized right then that I loved her.

Everything slowed down, it was surreal as in one slow fluid movement I left the raider at my right and spun over the beast rolling to my left unable to take my eyes off her laying there and him poised to thrust the lance through her throat. I fell to my feet behind him as he reached down to tear away her scarf my axe already swinging over my right shoulder added by the right to left roll my fingers letting the axe go watching it fly towards the back of his head. I could hear my heart beating within my chest like a drum echoing in my ears, all senses heightened as the axe flew on, my feet already stepping forward in a run towards my girl laying on her back....let Odin have mercy on me and my axe find its target in time.

The axe struck him behind the head cutting through his skull and popping out his forehead knocking him forward and onto her, then I was there my hands tearing his body off her throwing it to one side as I bent down and took her up in my arms, her face covered in blood, I could feel the sorrow welling up inside me as I whipped away the blood from her face her eyes closed. Then she opened them "this is not the time for sorrow or furring Master, we have a battle to fight" she then sat up pushing me back "our men needs us" My heart lept when I realized that she was unhurt and in an instant stood tearing my axe from the raiders skull popping it open as I turned to engage with the enemy again. "stay close to me beast"

The battle had turned of this I was sure I had seen that Thaj the leader was on the left side of the caravan and knew that Caleb would put paid to him and the rest of his motley band.

says to Personal combat is the u: laying there she had but one regret and that was if she left her beloved Master , then she felt a huge thump crush her as the raider fell upon her and her fear that the pig wanted to fur her made vomit creep up her throat then she felt the warmth running across her face and the smell and she realised it was blood and then he was pushed from her and she felt strong arms lift her and she saw Owner and their eyes said it all , soon back on her feet she could not help but kick the raider hard with her red boot for messing up her clothes and one for making her scared , grabbing her bow she looked for her beast and soon was back up in the saddle the scarf quickly wrapped back round her flaxen mane and face , she turned to her Master and nodded as she took aim and let the arrow fly and strike a raider as he fled

says to ALL: He stepped to the raider climbing the wagon and slashed at his leg and taking it clean off and turned in time to see one of his men take a spear in the chest and fall back. He roared like a Larl, even those on the other side fighting might have heard him and he throw his dagger at the mounted man and watched his dagger sink into the man but did not wait to watch him fall.

The other three with him where in a fierce battle with two other raiders, The other fourteen men were fighting raiders on the ground and on their mounts. The men that were fighting mounted men were tossing knives and slashing and stabbing when they could. It looked as the numbers were falling in the Port’s favor and that is when he saw a man on a mount directing the fight, he was their leader of some sort he thought.

He looked around and saw another sword laying there on the ground and picked it up in his left hand. “Beast.” He yelled out and his mount took off in a full run for where the voice came from. “Beast!” He called again and the might beast stopped right next to him. He sheathed his right sword and mounted his beast and drew his sword again. As of yet the man had not seen Caleb, his eyes were focused on the battle before him.

That was his next target, he looked back at his men and they were holding their own so he leaned down on his beast and had both blades on each side of his beast’s head and kicked him to go. They did not even have to weave their way through fighting; it was a straight line to him. There was not even anyone around him, he was sitting there on his mount screaming orders, which his own men could hear too and counter the attacks.

”Coward her growled and his beast lifted its head and rammed him beast throwing the man to the ground and Caleb sliding over his mount and the other and landed right next to the man. Caleb grabbed the short sword that fell from his hand but his other sword was still in his left. The warrior stood slow, that hurt al lot, but he was so pumped it did not hurt as bad.

says to ALL: He was already standing when the leader climbed to his feet. Caleb waited; he was not going to just kill the man without giving him a chance to fight back. Caleb took his fighting stance, his 36” spatha in right hand and a short sword in his left. The leader smiled and looked the Torvie over. “You day to die boy.” He spat on the ground at Caleb’s feet standing ten feet apart. The warrior’s was fueled, seeing one of his die before his eyes and the lust for blood made him feel invisible. But he was not stupid either. He had the short sword over his chest as if it were his shield and lifted the left sword up pointing to the leader’s neck and tilted it so the blade was flat.

The Raider leader lifted his blade up high and charged Caleb and swinging straight down to cut his head in two, I lifted my short sword to block the attack and step in at his left 2 feet and swung his other blade in right hand to slash his back open. The Raider Leader turned so fast and blocked Caleb’s attack on his back and blocked it. Then came back with a answer with his blade slashing at Caleb’s right side to open the right side of his guts. Caleb answered back using the plummet of his short sword to bash him in the face. The raider warrior staggered backwards and Caleb rushed forwards and with his left sword slashed at the man’s open neck. The raider fell back onto his back.

Turned to look back and saw the mounted raiders taking off and the other entangled in battle drop their weapons. Now that the leader was dead what was the use to keep fighting.

says to His Delicious Torment.||: I watched as the raiders began to withdraw back into the low hills fighting small skirmishes as they covered their retreat. There were bodies of the fallen scattered about, wounded and dying while men went through the fallen checking to see if there were any still alive, our men were attended to, the enemy dispatched with a sword thrust through the neck.

I rode along the caravan checking the mopping up and through a gap in the wagons saw Caleb engaged with one of the enemy dispatching him swiftly, the lieutenant was covered in blood his eyes wild as he began to rally his men. I called out for all to hear "we need a prisoner I need information" was all I said in a call to all

soraya rode along beside me her face still blood stained as well as the front of her robes. She was a mess but at least she was alive and well...I grinned over at her and winked "we survived the day yet again"
