Chapter Twenty-Eight
There was a short line at the Quartermaster's, Sid and Falcon took their place at the end of it. In front of them was the leader of Greatwolf, Pridebite. "How's your wife and the other doing?" Falcon asked. "They have both recovered," the Tauren answered. "I see you too have mended." "Aye," Falcon said. Pridebite nodded and the stepped up to the Quartermaster. A moment later it was their turn. Falcon handed Ortug their meal voucher. "Seems Earthhunters continue to perform adequately," the demon said. He reached behind him and took out a large slab of meat from the icebox behind him. With expert hands he wrapped it up and tossed it on the table in front of him. "Do we want to know what it is?" Falcon said as Sid picked it up. "Ogre … or perhaps raptor," the demon replied. "Is there anything else you need?" "Firewood," Falcon said bracing himself for the rebuttal. Quartermaster Ortug shuffled to the back of the cave and returned with a large bag of wood. "Ten coins," he said tossing it down on the table. Trying to hide his elation Falcon counted out the requested coins and picked up the sack. "Thank you, Master," he said with a nod. The demon answered with a snort and walked back into his cave. The druid fell in step beside Sid as the walked back to camp. "Well, what do you think?" Falcon asked. "I've stopped long ago trying to guess the demons' motives. I'm happy we no longer have to beg wood off our allies. That's good enough for me," Sid said. "Aye," Falcon replied. "Let's plan on using some of the apples we got from Silverhelm tonight, make some apple dumplings to celebrate our turn of fortunes." "Does apple go with ogre?" Sid replied with a grin. "Um … let's not tell the others that, I'm pretty sure it's raptor … but one mention of that and half of the clan won't eat it, regardless of what it truly is." Falcon replied. Entering the camp they found Shar, Mudon and Rarvo sitting around the table. They voiced their excitement at the sight of firewood, glad the embargo had been lifted. "Where did the other rogue sneak off to?" Falcon asked, not overly concerned. "He and Rain left camp shortly after you two did, don't worry the lad had pants on." Rarvo said with a small grin. Falcon frowned. "Shar and Sid can you tackle the meat they gave us?" Falcon said setting the firewood down. "Use only half of it for dinner, whatever sounds good. Salt the other half and add it to the smoke house. Mudon can you stack the firewood up?" "What about me lad" Rarvo asked. "You've already done too much with that arm today, just take it easy friend." Falcon replied. "Kotka?" "Down at the river, the women are finished and headed back up to camp. Come join us? Or do I get your sexy naked nymph to myself?" came the reply. Falcon growled and went into his hut gathering the few items he would need for a bath. As he exited the women were walking into camp. The druid instructed them to take over for various jobs the other men were doing and headed down to the river. As he approached he was relieved to see Rain sitting clothed on the water's edge, around him were men from the other camps. Captain Dylan was kneeling at the Sin'dorei's side; Falcon caught the flash of ivory locks in the water, Sly. Rain looked up as he drew near and the druid got treated to one of the rare timid smiles. "You look well, Falcon," Dylan said standing. "We were worried for you." "Thank you for your concern, Captain. I survived though it's not an experience I wish to repeat." Falcon said pulling his shirt over his head. Nodding the human stepped off to the side and started undressing. "Did you bring a change of clothes, Rain?" Falcon asked. "His satchel is there," Sly said as he walked out of the water. Falcon took a brief moment to look over the body of the rogue. The chill of the cavern and water was causing the pale blue elf to shiver. "Like what you see?" Sly said with a smirk as he reached for a towel. Falcon grabbed the arm of the other as he eyed a circular scar on his shoulder. There were four more identical scars, three on his left shoulder and two on his right. "You stupid … stupid whore," Falcon growled. Sly's eyes flashed. "Careful, old friend …" "You were worried about the Cavern getting to me?" Falcon said barely keeping himself in check. "You've been sleeping with the damn enemy!" "See that's where our thoughts differ," Sly said pulling his arm free. "I don't see anyone but the demons here as our enemies, everyone else is stuck in the same shitty circumstances as I am." "You have any idea what the hell that orc did to me?" Falcon demanded. "I have some ideas, Demon has very talented hands. You should …" The rogue didn't get to finish as Falcon tackled him. The druid heard shouts around him but his rage was focused on Sly. The two men wrestled around on the ground before stronger arms pulled Falcon off. "Please tell me this is some strange elfin mating ritual," Dylan said from behind Falcon, as he held the druid's arms fast behind his back. "What the hell is going on?" Sid demanded, having arrived moments ago. "Akire!" Falcon's legs buckled under the mental attack and he glared at Sly. The rogue's eyes were cold as he continued twisting from the inside out. Falcon couldn't put a thought together to counter the assault. "You will listen to me, damn it Akire." There was a movement to his left and the next moment Rain crashed into Sly. The Sin'dorei's attack broke the mental torment. "Damn it … down, Rain … get the fuck down!" Sid shouted. Falcon blinked trying to clear his mind. The pale elf dropped to the ground at Sid's command, but his interruption had served its purpose. The druid pulled his arms free and knelt down beside Rain, running a hand down his fair back he pulled the cowering elf into an embrace. "It's okay Sid; he was only trying to protect me." "Protect you … what the hell is going on, lad?" "I didn't pull a dagger," Sly said. "No you didn't," Falcon replied coldly. "I can't handle this right now … I can't …" His arms tightened around the still one in his grip. Sly sighed. "I'll make myself scarce for awhile, Captain, mind if I crash at the Silverhelm camp for tonight?" The human looked between the two elves and shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, no problem Sly … perhaps you can pay for your dinner with a couple of pints of ale?" Sid glanced around and shook his head. "Someone better explain what the hell is happening …" "Later," Falcon said as he started undressing Rain. "Later," Sid echoed as he too started getting ready to bathe. Pulling Rain's shirt off, Falcon nuzzled the pale neck of the elf. "I'm sorry … shhh … everything will be okay …" he whispered trying to stop Rain's quaking. "Kotka?" Rain whispered. Falcon was surprised the Sin'dorei knew Sly's true name. "I … we just need a break … it will be okay. Take off your pants, my heart, let's get washed up and back to camp." Standing Falcon finished undressing himself and walked into the chilly water. Rain's fingers curled around his own and he led them both deeper into the river. The smaller elf wrapped his arms around Falcon's neck and his legs encircled his waist. Falcon ran a hand down the long locks of the other. "It's hard to get cleaned with you wrapped around me like ivy." "It … okay," Rain whispered. "Yes it will be okay," Falcon said nodding. Rain shook his head. "It okay to …" Emerald eyes found his own. "… to cry." Falcon's hand paused only a moment then continued combing through Rain's hair. "I can't … I need to be strong, there will be time for tears later." "Time … for tears now," Rain said. The Sin'dorei's hand moved to the back of Falcon's head and pulled him closer. At the same time the druid felt an odd warmth start to grow from within his chest. "Rain please don't … stop … I can't …" Falcon blinked away the first tears as unwanted memories and emotions were coaxed out from the shadows of his soul he hid them in. "It's okay," Rain whispered again, his soft lips kissed away a tear that fell down Falcon's cheek. Falcon gripped Rain's hair tightly as he buried his face into the neck of the other. The tears came slowly at first but soon his whole body quavered as sobs escaped him. He flinched as a warm hand touched his shoulder, glancing through his tears he wasn't surprised to see Crystal standing beside them. She wrapped her arms around him from behind resting her head on his free shoulder. No one spoke and Falcon let the grief and shame wash over him. After awhile he kissed the pale neck now stained with his tears and drew a ragged breath. "Thank you for … keeping us warm Rain," he whispered. The Sin'dorei had kept all three bodies from chilling in the icy water. Glancing around Falcon noticed the river and the bank were empty minus Sid who was sitting on the shore. "Let's go home," Falcon said.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
