Silvertree Chronicles Bk. 01 Ch. 24

Annette laughed, "I will let her know that the toys she helped to pick out got me to hit a new high note. We need to buy more of that lube while we are here that shit works great!"

Eldar laughed, "For you, not so much for me it cuts the sensation down to almost nothing. I had to remove some of the stuff you put on my cock just so I could feel inside you. You have to use very little on me or I will be fucking you for hours before I cum in that sweet little ass."

Charlemagne smirked, "That would hurt, I got the message."

Eldar nodded and gave her a big kiss and he tasted not only himself but her sister. He gave her a smack on the ass.

He smiled at her, "Had to give Annette a wakeup as well this morning. I can taste it." She smiled at him. Eldar looked at her. "Next time you wake me first so I can watch the two of you."

She nodded, "It will be Annette's turn tomorrow."

He smiled, "Then the day after you get me up first so I can watch the two of you for two days. I get woke up first and I might get stimulated enough to fuck you from behind.

While you suck on that pussy."

After getting them worked up he went over and got dressed.

Charlemagne growled, "If I was not so fucking sore, I would throw you down and fuck you until I made you fill my pussy."

He nodded, "I know, that is why I said what I said. Two can be mischievous. I need to prepare my spells so why don't you see about getting a morning meal brought to us with new glasses; maybe metal mugs would be better."

Charlemagne laughed and Annette smirked, "The glasses are safe for another week they will work fine. I will talk with the guard. Annette walked out into the hall naked and asked the guard to find out about the morning meal for 3.

She walked back into the room and noticed she was not dressed and turned five shades of red, "Where is my head this morning?"

Eldar shrugged, "Maybe you got your brains fucked out last night."

Charlemagne rolled laughing. Annette came to attack Eldar and he swept her up off her feet and sucked on her left tit and she moaned and calmed down. She looked at him, "I will be embarrassed to walk out there."

Eldar shrugged, "You are twins for all they know they saw Charlemagne. She can have fun with that."

Annette laughed and Charlemagne nodded, "I could do that."

Eldar smiled, "For all you know, he could have been on duty when the Queen walked her husband through the palace to his private playroom with his cock in her hand!"

They both laughed at that, "The Queen did that?"

Eldar nodded, "After she had him drop his pants in front of me. She made him surrender his cock ring. He started to get hard from the embarrassment. I pointed it out to her and she took his pants and marched him to his playroom. That was the night Jarron had to get the blow jobs in front of the Queen from the prisoner.

He was so pissed at me for sending him into that sex trap. You did not notice the next day the King was sitting on a pillow and she was glowing and pregnant? The King probably got plowed in the nether-hole a few times!"

They both stared at Eldar and Charlemagne asked, "Something you are interested in?"

Eldar shook his head, "Anything more than a finger is off-limits. That is something that might make me violent."

Charlemagne looked concerned, "Something happened when you were a kid?"

Eldar nodded, "The guy was caught in the act of trying but he never got it into me. That is off-limits. The bastard had a thing for kids. I heard they put his parts in a cup of acid until nothing was left. He died from the shock as they were still attached. At least that is what I heard."

Charlemagne looked at him, "Not something you want to work through?"

Eldar shook his head, "Do not see any joy in the act for me. It would only bring up anger, bad memories, and I do not want that with anyone. Some memories are best left alone."

Annette sat back and thought, "Gods, that was the memory I touched upon that made him lose his grip on the sword at my home in Grandfalls." She thought about telling him but decided it was in the past and she knew enough now not to do that to him ever again.

She nodded and Annette hugged him.

The food arrived, he studied up spells while he ate slowly between spells. He got all of his spells ready and they left the room and the packs behind. He looked to the guard, "Our gear is still here we do not know how long the Royal Family will require our services on this visit."

The guard nodded, "Yes, Sir Silvertree."

He turned and sighed, "Something else to get used to. I need to find time to read those 2 books so I know the proper order to list all of these titles."

Annette chuckled, "I would get it stitched into the sleeve of your shirt, but they keep adding them."

Charlemagne coughed and laughed, "I was swallowing when you said that almost made me choke."

Eldar sighed, "Like this morning."

She elbowed him in the ribs for that comment. They made it down to the main chamber and Heliar was waiting for them, "Jarron wants to talk with you."

Eldar shook his head, "I need a couple of hours with those prisoners first. We might have some useful information for him and I need to know if it is there or not. Besides, if he wants to talk with me he should be here or get me a crystal."

Heliar sighed, "You got an hour, I will mention the crystal again. I will take you where the guards have them. They cleared us to go into his chamber."

Eldar nodded and they headed upstairs to the 3rd floor. He saw a few faces from the day before and they cowered away from him. He now knew he had half of the royal court in fear of him.

They made it to the prisoners, and he turned to Annette, "Start with teleportation circles and any that lead to Lord Barimus including any wards or guards that would be there."

Heliar looked at Eldar as he walked out of the room, He went to the King's desk and recalled the chest, and unlocked it.

He pulled out her journal, "I found the code Barimus going back over 90 years. About the time he turned into an undead. If she knew him before the entry it might be something different. If she had done a lot of business for him then that would mean it will be here. Potentially a lot of direct contacts. She has the spell for a teleportation circle. She could have made one permanent even without Barimus's knowledge."

Annette called them back. She looked at Eldar, "She has a few, including one to Barimus. I am working on the details of the locations and how to activate it."

He walked over to the guards, "Watch over that!"

He nodded and looked at his father. "We can go talk with Jarron now."

They stepped out of the room and his father got Jarron on the crystal, Jarron spoke up, "Don't tell me he was sleeping in late."

Eldar laughed, "No, I need you to get a hold of your friends. I need you to be secure."

He sighed, "I have contact with them and I am secure."

Eldar smiled, "There is a teleportation circle that goes to Lord Barimus! We found a back door for them."

Jarron's voice was a bit muffled. Eldar asked, "How useful would that be to you?"

---

The Silver Dragon Queen jumped to her feet, "A Circle to get to him? I could put together a Silver Dragon Assault team! We need more information. We take out the Red Dragon King and we could get him and his wives into the Order of the Dragon for this information. I need to know how real a possibility this would be."

---

Muffled noises then he says, "Really? That could speed some things up rapidly, what about guards, wards, and such."

Eldar sighed, "Annette is working those details now and to find out if Barimus even knows a permanent one exits. He could have been killing important elven figures for over 100 years. The assassin's journal goes back 142 years. Caused me to have to disown over 60% of House Silvertree last night."

Jarron shouted, "What? Why?"

Eldar sighed, "Two of them plotted to kill me, one of those two killed my grandfather, wanted my father's entire line assassinated in addition to the King and Queen. I warned those who tried the coup that if any of the coup participants or their families tried to have me or my family assassinated that I would disown them all.

That they had better police each other. None of them denied knowledge of the plot. I began stripping off assets starting with what they had on! The two would-be assassins were taken out by Royal Guards with just a cloak on, pulled by a rope and they had to walk to the royal dungeon. My wives and I were knighted yesterday."

Jarron laughed, "Any other trouble?"

Eldar grumbled, "Besides the four assassins, the other from my father's ex-house patron. I came close to destroying House Silverbar. Instead, I saved the one member worth saving to rebuild the house. He is now the family sword-bearer and only 72 years old, but we activated the Moon Blades so we have 10 active blades now."

Jarron cleared his throat, "You can expect a few more of those when this issue with Barimus is over."

Eldar smirked, "I know 4 of them. One of which is the last active house blade missing. House Silver Song, the other 3 are dead Houses. I also know who will get all of those except for the House Silver Song blade. I know it will be a battle bard to get that sword."

Jarron, "How do you know this?"

Eldar sighed "Before the ritual, I fell on my face, passed out cold, and had a question and answer session with Sehanine Moonbow and Corellon Larethian. Then Corellon Larethian showed in the middle of the ritual. He placed his hand on me and did something or some things to me.

Certain skills are off the chart; like hearing four people fucking from halfway across the village. To hear the heartbeat of an elk and shooting it through the heart from the front killing it with one arrow; it was night time and it was over 120 feet away. A record-setter according to Eagle-eye. She said it was a 7x7."

Jarron groaned, "Yeah your place is definitely on the battlefield."

Eldar gasped, "Oh thank you for reminding me, that attack we stopped. I jumped off of the back of my horse twirled in the air 3 times like a top head down and drove my blade between an Ogre Magi's collarbone and straight into his black heart; that kind of weird shit! I would like to see you again before someone else throws another title at me."

Jarron chuckled, "You do not know how true that is. This teleport circle bears fruit, you will likely get another one from my friends here. You and your wives."

Eldar sighed and rolled his eyes, "So long as they can tell me where to place it with all the other titles, names, and descriptions I have."

Jarron laughed, "This would be a silent title, not one you would have to repeat except in certain company. I will be back in the city tomorrow with guests to question this prisoner directly."

Eldar smiled, "Good, it would help to take some of the stuff off of my back that I have had to pick up in your absence."

Jarron chuckled, "Alright, smartass. Write down what you find out they will look it over and confirm everything and fill in the gaps. You might have saved them from a major exposure issue."

Eldar smiled, "I figured they were delayed for a reason. Once he is dead, I want to deliver that news to the Dwarven King personally with his son standing there. If he is still around. I have a request. We want in on the planning, only when it occurs and when it is finished.

We are going after the assassin's assets after this intelligence gathering. Everything. One of our tests for potential agents is the words 'Lord Barimus'. If he is dead the geas is gone so we need to know when to stop using that test."

---

The Silver Dragon Queen looked over as Jarron covered the crystal with his hands, "Find out what assets he has available. WE could use them to keep any non-Dragon assets out of the fight with that horde."

Jaron sighed, "He does not have much that are Knight assets. I doubt he brought many of them back."

She pointed at the crystal and Jarron sighed.

---

He heard Jarron muttering, "What forces do you have with you?"

Eldar thought before he answered, "I have two ancient Moon Blade holders, the blades not the people. Eight privates, 2 sergeants, 1 lieutenant, 1 captain, and 2 commanders, and my psionic wife. All in the Gray Blades or the Knights. I could get up to another 5 Moon Blade holders depending on what you want us to do."

Jarron muttered again behind the scene and returned, "Feel up to a little behind the lines guarding action? They want someone to guard the way out after they are done. Just guard the gate against enemy reinforcements and to lower their exposure."

Eldar looked at his father, "Yes, we will support. I have 2 with me in the Gray Blades. Do you want me to get the other 5 blade holders, only 2 of those are adults?"

Jarron muttered, "Who are the adults?"

---

The Silver Dragon Queen looked over, "Only adults, get the 2. It improves our odds. Depending on what we find out."

Jarron sighed, "Very well."

---

Eldar responded, "Sir Moon Blade and Sir Moon Bow."

Jarron sighed, "Get the Queen to issue an order for them to report to the palace for a 4-day conference."

Eldar smiled, "I can get her to do that easily enough given the request is yours and coming from me with my father at my side. I think she will be intrigued."

Jarron piped in, "Who is the fourth?"

Eldar smiled, "The Moon Blade holder I rescued from the far eastern reaches of the human lands, Dame Silver Moon, this marks the second time she has been knighted as she was knighted by a human King and she is a Captain adviser to me."

Jarron laughed, "How many Moon Blades do you have in your company?"

Eldar smiled, "4 at the moment. By the time we go to war that could be up to 7 or 8 of them with most of the others in the army or on the front with us. Given the promises that were made at the ceremony.

One of them may be working for you Jarron by that time. Two of the swords coming are destined for my apprentices. One will be in the war; the other is uncertain. She might be working for you. She is a legacy."

Jarron sighed, "She is a legacy what name?"

Eldar smiled, "Apprentice Moon Ray, her father died in a caravan attack."

Jarron cursed, "Damn I did not know he had a daughter; his whole group was wiped out in that attack and they would have known. How did you find her?"

Eldar chuckled, "The Gods and Dame Silver Moon. She was an old lover of your Moon Ray. The Gods wanted them to find each other to grieve together and heal."

Jarron chuckled, "Still bringing people together I see."

Eldar smiled, "Yes Tranosa is married and so is Fireball. Tranosa has triplets on the way and Fireball has quadruplets coming. All of Fireball's children are Battle Mages; his wife is a formerly unidentified Arcane Mimic."

Jaron screamed, "We have no Elven Arcane Mimics!"

Eldar smiled, "Technically you are correct, she is Elf-blooded, a Half-elf."

He sighed, "I suppose Tranosa's children have destinies?"

He smiled, "One will be a warrior and one will be a trick rider archer, maybe even arcane.

The third will be the Champion of Vandria Gilmadrith and the mother of Hanali Celanil predestined Grand Cleric. I forgot you did not get all the details on the mother for those predestined Grand Clerics. Keyno is the mother."

Jarron chuckled, "A Half-elf champion?"

Eldar smirked, "Yes, and the new term based on laws coming out is Elf-blooded. It makes perfect sense for a God who is only worshiped during times of war. Short lifespan."

Heliar laughed, "The Queen is in talks about potentially making him a Count or maybe Duke to both kingdoms."

He heard Jarron groan, "When?"

Heliar smiled, "After this war ends maybe sooner depends on what he does. He is protecting 400 square miles of land. Capturing spies for all 3 kingdoms. Now, this teleporter circle."

Eldar groaned, "Like I need the headache of court politics."

Charlemagne came out, "According to the lady it is a small crevice next to a 'T' intersection and the way to Lord Barimus is largely unguarded in that section most of the time. Support could come from either neck of the 'T.'

The bottom of the 'T' is a winding passage with only a couple of wards that we have the codes for. She says she was involved in his transformation and knows where the other bodies are located for his spirit to re-inhabit. He has 12 of them. She does not have the ward information on that area or the location of the phylactery.

It is one long spiral tunnel with dragon corpses sitting waiting to be possessed if he should fall. The second to him is a half-ogre." She pauses and sighed, "Red Half-Dragon. A son of his. This circle is too narrow for him or the others to get through, they don't know of the hole as far as she knows."

Eldar asked Jarron, "What are the rules on Half-dragons? Have not heard of them since the treaties were signed at the start of the 6th age."

---

The Silver Dragon Queen was furious and Jarron covered the crystal. She sighed, "Another problem. Just tell him Dragonblooded sorcerers and Half Dragons it was not addressed because of the muddied waters!"

Jarron nodded, "Calm and I will tell him."

---

Bahamut met with IO, "A Red Half-Dragon with an Ogre. An ancient can only do that with divine assistance and an exception for breeding in this age with an ancient Dragon."

IO nodded, "Now you know what Tiamat and Null are up to. Not full-out breeding, just another loophole from The One, as far as your followers are concerned, from those 2."

Bahamut sent a message to the Silver Dragon Queen, "This is not all-out breeding from what I am being told by IO, but he is likely not the only one. They are still likely infertile being that close and not covered by the treaty."

---

The Silver Dragon Queen grabbed the edge of her desk and tossed it in her anger. Jarron had not seen her this angry before. She looked over and nodded at Jarron, "Talk to him."

---

Jarron finally returned, "Half-dragons are not specifically called out in the treaties. Where to draw the line between them and Dragonblooded Sorcerers becomes a slippery slope. Given his involvement with a dragon conspiracy, the answer is simple. If he shows he will be destroyed. He must be destroyed, finding him will be the challenge."

Eldar looked at Charlemagne, "Find out about where this son is located."

She left and returned, "If he is in the den, then he will be on the crevice side of the 'T.' He has 8-10 ogre captain bodyguards, sometimes his father burns them to death if he gets pissed off. That is why the number fluctuates. They will come when alarms sound. The other section of the T leads to the outside."

Eldar sighed, "Jarron you are going to have to bring this entire unit into the Knights. The Moon Blade holders and Gray Blades. It is one thing to guard a corridor with ogres coming at you, but a Half-dragon is another matter. Then there is how to find the phylactery to keep him from coming back."

Charlemagne responded, "The phylactery is about half the size of a fist, egg-shaped and an emerald. It has to be set into something, buried, or locked away in the room or all three. It can only access bodies within 90 feet of the bodies where they are laid out in a circle with the heads and front legs being 80 feet from the center of the room."

Eldar sighed, "I wish I had a Dwarven sapper; they could take down the tunnel leading to the outside and cut off reinforcements."

He heard more muffled talking, then a few seconds later, "We can get 2 of them and bring them with us. They like your idea as it will take time to find and destroy the bodies and phylactery. They also said there is something blocking teleportation in the main area. That would have to be located to speed things up. Having a body count helps as they can bring disintegration scrolls."
