Silvertree Chronicles Bk. 01 Ch. 19

He stared at Eldar for one second and went to his horse and rode off to check on his wife. Eldar shook his head, "He is not going fast enough he will walk in just as the guy explodes into his wife. Then he will likely try to kill all three of them. You might want to send a couple of other guards after him so he does not end up dead.

Captain Bilara Moon Glow will end up taking over as they deal with your Captain. Can you get her for me? Remember you are the only guard I have asked their name."

He went out and dispatched other guards and Eldar walked out behind him, "She will agree especially as she did not like your captain and will end up taking over his men. I am sorry, you do not have the right family name in the Royal Guard to be promoted higher.

It should not work that way. If you like what you hear tomorrow then you could always join us, we can find work for your black-haired Raven. That is what you call her, she loves you. She is just concerned about your options for advancement.

Really you both are which is why you have not asked her to marry you. You are both fertile; the anti-fertility ring you have is probably the only reason you do not have kids already. That ring will fail. They will be banned soon. I am not trying to scare you, just give you options. This period of mass visions should pass before morning, they have slowed considerably."

Annette and Charlemagne just stared at him with their mouths open. He gave them another weak smile, "It will pass, and yes you two fucking my brains out after our bath might go along way to letting me get some sleep if I do not pass out before then."

He went back into the stall, "How did the introduction go with T'suras?"

They said, "Fine." In unison again.

He looked at T'suras, "Kata Quali vinus (Bow to my trusted lovers)."

T'suras lowered his head and got down on one knee and bows to his wives, "T'suras Ota (Stand or up)." The horse stood back up. He patted him on the side. "You finished brushing down your horses they should be stalled with him as they are both in heat and I do not want to pay for the damages."

Annette looked at him, "I will be glad when these visions end."

He nodded, "I do not know what set it off, but it may never go completely away."

He sat and waited for them to get the other two into the stall and the door closed. As soon as they started walking, "T'suras Qualas fika. (Fuck your mates)"

We heard him mounting the first one. Charlemagne chuckled, "Oh someone is in a playful mood."

He smirked, "I wonder if he will keep it going all night or not?"

Annette smacked his ass, "You are being bad."

He shrugged, "At least I have named T'suras. I have not heard you name one, so you two better start thinking about baby names now the kids might have them the time they are 5."

Now Charlemagne smacked his ass. He sighed, "I guess I will have to name them."

They both shook their heads Annette commented, "You can if we have not come up with them by mid-day meal."

He shook his head, "When we sit down for a morning meal I will ask. No answers then I will name them."

They sighed and nodded. They walked into the Inn while the others were still out. It appears quiet and the innkeeper's wife was standing there smiling.

He looked at her, "Thank you for the three tubs I know they are still filling them. We got back earlier tonight than expected. We will have an evening meal with the three of us. If you join us for a few minutes I will tell you what kind of day I had and how it impacts you."

She nodded and rushed off, "I will have your meals and usual wine out to you in a second."She showed up. "What happened?"

He smiled, "Picture yourself at the bottom of a waterfall try to catch every drop coming at you all at once. Now picture that in visions and revelations. It got pretty intense. It has slowed but has not ended. I have been pulling names out of people and images from everyone I have been meeting. Let us talk about your twins." That had her interest.

"Your daughter could go one of four ways, try magic at the academy, and fail is the first. Here is where you have a say in her future. If you want her to be a battlemage, she will need early magic instruction, sword practice and I mean a lot of it she could become a Blade Singer. Archery practice again a lot of it and she would make an excellent arcane archer.

Because she is skilled in one of the martial or ranged abilities, they will focus her training on bringing her magic on par with her skill. Personally, I see her as an Arcane Archer. We have an archer, not arcane, who uses a trained riding horse and a special saddle. She can flip along the side of her horse and shoot behind her. I want her to train some arcane archers to do this.

Then there is your son. He will most likely end up working some government job fucking every woman who comes into his office if he can. He will have a lot of illegitimate children that he will care nothing about. You will love them all but he will never marry or change. I looked further into this because I tried to figure out what made him this way.

I found the catalyst for his way of thinking in Uncle Giukas; I know he got you into a closet 10 years ago and fucked you until your eyes crossed and your toes curled. The point is he is a leech and an infertile leach. His exposure to this man and him bragging about his conquests. The biggest being you in your son's mind will turn him off of the idea of marriage.

Do not have him come in and help with this inn after your husband passes. Sell the inn and travel to my town, we will have work for you. He would be a lot more successful and married with a stable and ever-growing family. He will fancy half-elf woman, not that I can blame him, but will go through many wives because of this fact and all of his children are elven.

The boy will be very fertile and like this uncle a bit of a charmer. I know this is not exactly what you want to hear but when Doc gets here, let him know I told you to check for twins. He will tell you the symbols for your daughter are fluctuating unless you decide a course for her before then. We will not be able to make sense of any symbols on your son."

The poor innkeeper's wife sat there with her mouth open. "Something about exposure to myself or my wives has caused an increase in multiple child pregnancies for those I spend any time with or am in proximity too; I do not know what it is but both my wives are expecting twins. Charlemagne, Any failed readings? Any single births? Anything other than twins so far minus the triplets. She is human."

Charlemagne looked over, "No failed readings, no single pregnancy, several sets of twins, and one set of triplets."

Our food arrived and the innkeeper's wife left without a word and they ate, drank, and headed to our baths as they are now ready. Annette asked, "Are we through with people's futures for tonight?"

He shrugged, "Depends on if any show up at our door asking. I would suggest leaving it barred." Both of them hurried and got him into the room and barred the door. They undressed him and placed him into the center tub. They took the adjacent tubs. About 20 minutes later someone knocked on the door. Then whispers, "Maybe they went out?"

The other responded, "Lady at the desk said they had hot baths waiting for them. They might not want to be disturbed. I really want to know what they see in our future."

Eldar got tired of it, "Find Doc in the dining room and have him check your fertility; you are both infertile!" The sounds of running feet. Annette and Charlemagne giggled at him. "That should be the last ones for tonight."

He passed out in the tub and barely remembered being pulled into bed.

Gatrius rode into the Silver Moon compound with the two royal guards and had them wait at the door. The page took him back to see the patron. Gatrius looked at her, "I know what you told me last time but this time I come with a dire warning. Eldar Silvertree went into full out prediction mode this evening. He told me things about my own life he had no chance of knowing.

He sent me here first, the first of three stops tonight. Your daughter and your Family Moon Blade will be lost at sea if she gets on that boat. You would likely never recover it from the bottom of the ocean! Your house could never try and claim a dead blade in the future as yours would still exist. Ignore this warning at the peril of your own house. She needs to get home.

He pulled up his notes. Apparently, she is not set up with a spell to teleport home. Ask her. He said Chow Toh province, there is a major city there called Shinto. Magical market district. Alchemy shop has a portal that could get her home. 'Dragon Bone' is in the name of the shop and it is in the local dialect which she knows.

They will deny its existence but if she shows them the blade they will get her access to get her home. Consider the ceremony for the blade if this checks out. He stated it would be better if she were there for it. Your family's future lies in your hands now Patron. I have 2 other stops to make tonight and one is for a mass-murderer. I have royal guards waiting for me!"

She was shocked as Gatrius left in a hurry. She looked out the window as he left with 2 royal guards."

She went to her desk and pulled the Crystal. "Daughter!"

She heard a sigh from the crystal. "Hello, Mother. I am rather busy working for a local warlord at the moment. I am getting ready to lead an attack on his enemies, they have a pirate base on a small island a week away."

Her mother screamed. " DON'T GO! There is an Elven champion on the field here. An impure Bladesinger. Eldar Silvertree. His father had his sword stripped from him, his Moon Blade, and given to this champion. He said if you get on that ship you and the sword will be lost at sea. Do you have a teleportation spell?"

She sighed, "No mother, finding spells like that out here is extremely rare. I did not get one before I left. My power was not high enough and I was not concerned with a quick trip home."

She sighed, "He said Chow Toh province, a city called Shinto. Magical market district. An alchemy shop with 'dragon bone' in the name in the local dialect. They have a portal that could get you home. Show them your blade. He is gathering all the Moon Blades and Moon Blade wielders for a ceremony. Out at Silent Falls. He wants you there for this, said it would be better if you were present. Now tell me if any of that makes any sense to you?"

She sighed, "Two days by horse if the weather holds. We passed through it 4 days ago but we had wagons with us. I know the town and I know of an alchemy shop there, we bought a bunch of healing potions and the like for this trip. How in the 9 hells did he know that?"

She sighed, "The King and Queen saw the wedding, he married two half-elf abominations by the Lady of Dreams at Silent Falls. He is even going to work to reactive some dead blades, including one for the royal family. I did not buy into this, an impure with abominations but you are telling me he knows where you are at, you are in danger, and how to get home to help your people.

My spies said he is talking about a war in 30-60 years and he is building a mercenary force to deal with monitoring the southern border. After tonight...I don't know what to believe except that ship is a danger to you and the family blade. If you won't do it for me, then do it as a Blade Singer for your people."

Silver Moon sat there on her horse with her eyes closed debating and she heard in her head, "Tiger and Keyno ride with the champion."

She opened her eyes, "Mother, did he have humans in his group?"

She growled out, "Yes, there were two who arrived with him. Their features and dress were strange. The one bow was extremely large and looked to drag on the ground. Not local humans. They might have been from the area you are in. One of my spies said this Eldar had one of the guards hold a horse for the woman, she is an archer, Key something for a name. I did not really pay attention to that."

She rolled her eyes, "Mother, I am on my way home. I will not get on this ship."

She ended the call and looked at the General and in the local dialect, "General, I have been recalled by my people. I cannot go on this mission. I was given a prophecy to go along with this recall. Wait a few days. Do not go out on that ship. Storms are coming and it will be lost as will you all if you do. I have to head back to Shinto. I have a magical shortcut to get home.

Tell Warlord Tang I have a responsibility to my King and Queen to return when recalled. Failure to do so would be like your samurai turning their backs on their code. He will understand as I discussed this possibility occurring in the future. That future is now. You outrank me with your men. Save them.

Information provided to me in that prophecy leads me to believe it is very accurate. I want to save the men and women I have fought with for the last 5 years! It is up to you if you will listen to the Dancer of Blades when she tells you the ocean tonight will mean death to you all."

The General sighed and pulled out a crystal, "Warlord Tang, I regret to inform you that Dancer of Blades has been recalled by her people. She gave us a prophecy concerning the ocean. The ship would be lost to the sea if we sail tonight. She said there are things she was told in that prophecy that makes her find it very likely to occur. She leaves it to me to save her men. The choice is yours. She requested we hold for 3 days and watch the weather."

He heard him sigh, "She has been an angel to our cause and a demon to our enemies. She has earned more than one favor from me. Tell her I hope to see her again someday, she has my gratitude for everything she has done for our people. Give her the 3 days. Watch the seas and let me know before you depart."

He nodded, "This ship will be leaving without us, we will have to find another. They have time-sensitive cargo and refuse to be delayed."

Warlord Tang sighed, "Find another ship to get you there. You have 3 days to make arrangements." The connection closed.

The General looked up to see she had already ridden off at a very fast speed as she was beyond the docks now. The men were marshaled on the dock waiting to board and now they turned to find a place to stay for a few nights. He nodded, "You will be missed Dancer of Blades. Thank you for the warning. I am happy my father would listen to your word on this matter. He would have ignored mine."

The Guard Captain walked into his home and hear the sounds of sex coming from own bedroom. Officer quarters, a wood-elf Lieutenant and his wife lived across the way. He worked in the slums section of the city and he was offended when they put him in quarters across the hall from his own. All because neither of them had children and he did not have the money for a home in the city.

He heard his wife scream out, "Don't cum in my cunt! My husband's infertile but I am not!" He heard the man grunt his release into her as she wailed another climax. The man laughed, "I don't use anti-fertility items. Here's hoping your snob of a husband enjoys any children I gave his hypocritical wife!

Don't think we did not hear you talking with the other officers in this married barracks. Complaining about the indignity of us being given quarters across from you and having the nerve to be insulted. All the while you have been having me fill your ass 4 times a week for months now!"

She cried out, "It is what my husband expected me to say. He is a one-shot and done and will only do my cunt once a week or he has me swallow it. It's not like he could get me pregnant. I had him checked a year ago."

He kicked in the door to his bedroom just as the wood-elf turned to face him. He stabbed him in the stomach, grabbed his cock, and then cut it off. The two ladies got into a wardrobe and held the doors closed and started screaming as the other guards entered the home. One tackled the Captain to the ground after he stabbed through the wardrobe to hear two women screaming. They both got stabbed in the arm. The other guard threw the doors open and got the women out of there while they cuffed the captain. The man who tackled the captain sighed, "The fucking champion knew it and tried to warn you to hurry. You just had to not make haste. Now you will be prosecuted for murder and two counts of attempted murder. The first on another royal guard. You flushed your fucking career away."

The Captain looked back, "Let me kill my fucking wife. If I die so should that slut!"

Another Captain, Bilara Moon Glow stood there and he looked at her as she smiled down, "You are so fucked right now. I have clerics tending to your wife and the wife of the dead lieutenant. The protection of your wife is not going to work when you fucking stabbed her as well.

She is giving a statement now. Guard New Moon sent a guard to the Palace as well because of what the champion apparently had going tonight. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. I already have my husband working to assign me to take over your men.

You will formally be stripped of rank in the morning. Nobody is to harm those two witnesses. In fact, I have 4 female guards watching over them across the hall. Take him to the palace dungeon!"

She got on the crystal to her husband, "The message passed back to you from Sergeant New Moon is accurate. The captain is in custody and the Lieutenant wood elf from across the hall is dead. He even stabbed both women in the arm so protecting his wife is out of the question. I don't know what set him off, but it is a fucking mess here."

The Head Guard Captain sighed, "You just briefed the Queen as well. I was giving her an update on the Champions activity." He ended the comms.

---

The head of the royal guard sighed, "The champion blew through a gate and went into some type of prediction mode. He sent guards off with Moon Blade to Golden Knife's home as well, your Majesty."

She groaned, "Alright, get me a status on those guards."

He nodded, "I'll be right back your Majesty. I have to find their communication crystal in my office. This one I keep because it goes to my wife, Your Majesty."

---

Gatrius rode into the small Gold elf estate. Golden Knife was the last of his line and over 400 years old, almost 450 years old if the records at his store were right. He stopped to double-check them. He had a single page out front who looked at the arrivals. "Patron Moon Blade to see Patron Golden Knife on a matter for the Queen."

He knew he would have to respond to that and it would explain the two royal guards. The page went inside and knocked on the door to the master of the house's research laboratory. He was not allowed entry. Patron Golden Knife sneered at the page, "This had better be important?"

The Page nodded, "Patron Moon Blade and 2 royal guards are here to see you on a matter for the Queen."

He sighed, "Give me 15 minutes and bring them to my study."

He walked over and started the machine to drain the blood out of his latest victim. A male Snow Elf. He put an ad up in a small northern town, on the bulletin board. It took a year for someone to come calling. He had called out looking for a snow-elf devoid of magical talent to be a personal bodyguard male or female made no difference. He closed his open book on dark necromancy and sighed, "I will have to harvest your organs upon my return young fool."

He cleaned off his cock from his exploits on the male corpse ass when he had been interrupted. He went to his study and sat behind his desk. He had been, for over 200 years researching the process to become a vampire. He drank the blood of his victims daily and reeked of death to those who got close to him. His page was under a gease and soul bound to him.
