Chapter Thirty-Six
Walking through the gates of the encampment, Falcon found Sly, Mudon and Rarvo sitting at the table with mugs of ale in their hands. Rain was gone from where he had been sleeping by the fire.
"Crystal took him down to the river with the women," Sly said, answering the unspoken question.
"Lad," Mudon said setting down his ale. "I understand the desire to help out our comrades but Sly gave them …"
"What I told him to do," Falcon interrupted. He dropped the trio of birds near the fire. "Fill our largest pot with water and get it to boil."
"Wow," Sly said as he stood and went to grab the cast iron kettle. "Is that all for us?"
"Aye," Falcon said. "Ortug said two were destined for other Clans that didn't fill their quotas today."
"Akire!" Crystal's silent cry was filled with alarm. "We need you!"
Shifting into the spirit of the cheetah Falcon raced out of the camp ignoring the shouts of alarm from the three he left behind. As he approached the river he was distressed to see the large ivory skinned demon, Shaith, near the water's edge. Had she changed her mind and come back for Rain? He saw his clan a bit farther downstream away from the demon. Racing up to them he shifted back and did a quick headcount. All seven members were here.
"She's taking the females of Silverhelm," Star said with dismay.
Shaith was busy herding the women with the help of two other lesser demons when Dylan charged down the hill with the men of his Clan at his heels.
"Lad?" Sid said at his side.
"Go back up to the camp, now," Falcon ordered. "This is not our fight; we don't want to draw unneeded attention to ourselves."
"A bit late for that," Shar said.
Glancing back toward the demons Falcon was dismayed to watch Rain charge out in front of Shaith. The multi-armed demon backhanded the Sin'dorei with her lower left hand. Rain scrambled back to his feet and placed himself between the demon and the frighten crowd of Silverhelm females.
"Adran!" Falcon called out silently.
"Faya next," Rain whispered back.
By now the men had reached the women and Dylan joined Rain, standing between the demon mistress and his clan. Falcon was relieved to see there were no weapons; maybe the Captain would live to see tomorrow.
"This is not going to end well," Sly said appearing; he gestured to the flurry of demons ascending from the sky.
They surrounded the Silverhelm Clan. Overlord Viser landed beside Shaith, one of his giant talon-like hands reached out and grabbed Rain. He tossed the Sin'dorei in the direction of Falcon with such force the elf skidded across the ground and came to rest at the druid's feet. "Take you slut back to your camp," the demon ordered. "The superb ore your clan collected for Lord Illidan has paid for his life this day. As for the rest of you, Mistress Shaith has graciously offered to take these women off your hands. You've struggled to meet your quota for the past month. Think of how many fewer mouths you will have to feed."
"Please, Master," Dylan begged. "Just give us more time. We will find ore."
"And if you don't?" The demon asked.
"Then I will decorate your wall with my blood," Dylan said.
"And the women will be mine," Shaith said coldly.
"I'll join the Captain on the wall before I let you touch me, fiend." A dark-haired human female shouted. Falcon struggled to remember her name as other women and men voiced the same thought.
"So be it," the demon mistress said with a shrug of her arms. "You probably have fleas anyway. There are other fish in the sea as you mortals like to say." Her eyes moved over toward Falcon's clan and she grinned.
Crystal let out a gasp and Falcon moved protectively in front of her. Shaith let out a laugh as she turned her back on them and strolled away with Overlord Viser at her side. The lesser demons flew off, leaving the prisoners alone.
"Easy, lad, it seems you've broken a couple of ribs. I could use a hand, Falcon," Sid said, bringing his attention to the fact the dwarf was working on Rain, stretched out at his feet.
Kneeling Falcon rested a hand on Rain's chest but his eyes were on Dylan as he approached. The old knight looked as if he'd aged a decade since they had spoken earlier. Stooping down he placed a hand on Rain's pale cheek and Falcon saw it glow as he channeled his healing powers into the battered elf. "Thank you, Rain," he said as he aided in mending bones and cuts. Afterwards he stood up and glanced over at the rest of the group. "Our debt to the Earthhunters continues to grow."
"There is no debt in friendship," Falcon said.
"Falcon," Dylan said. "We've been down here for ten years; the mine has been here at least twice that long. I've watched women give birth in this hell."
"Children?" Crystal interrupted. "I've never seen children in the caverns."
"That's because the demons come and steal the child away before we've cut the cords. We haven't had a birth in years now; the women take care of it themselves."
"Take care of it …" Crystal let out a soft gasp.
"Better than letting our children be raised by the demons," Dylan said. "As I was saying, I've seen life and I've seen death … a lot of the later. The mine is tapped out, there may be a lucky strike here or there but we're fooling ourselves if we think there is anything left of any substance. What happens to us once we're no longer useful?"
"If we worried about what may happen tomorrow," Falcon said. "We'd never made it these past ten years … day to day, Dylan …day to day. Tomorrow will come what may."
"Aye," the Captain said, "that it will." With a final nod he went and rejoined his clan.
With a heavy sigh Falcon stood up and pulled Rain to his feet, bending down slightly he grabbed the Sin'dorei by waist and threw him over his shoulder. Rain let out a sound of protest. The druid slapped the elf hard on the ass. There was no underlying sexual tension in the touch. It was a warning to Rain and one the elf obeyed by falling silent. With a parting look at the Silverhelm Clan, Falcon led his back up to their encampment.
They were met at the gate by a worried pair of dwarves. As the others filled Mudon and Rarvo in, Falcon walked over and dropped Rain down on the bench at the table. "Stay," he growled.
"Not dog," Rain shot back, glowering.
Falcon's hands clenched into fists as he looked down at the defiant elf. Closing his eyes the druid took a deep breath and then a second, forcefully uncurling his fingers. Afterwards he opened his eyes and spoke without looking at Rain. "No you are not a dog. A dog would have been easier to train. Just please … sit here and be quiet. I can't worry about you for a bit. I mean it, Rain, stay here no going all rogue on me."
"You say that word like it's a bad thing," Sly said sitting down next to Rain and offering him a mug of ale. "Don't worry, Falcon, I'll keep an eye on the kid." He gathered up Rain's hair that was still wet from the river and started to run a comb through it. The rogue nodded toward the fire. "Your water is boiling."
That was Sly's way of saying focus on the things he could control, like dinner. Walking over to the fire he picked up one of the birds lying nearby and dropped it into the pot. Using a stick resting close by, he held the chicken under the hot water so it didn't float to the top. He pushed it around to make sure all the feathers were thoroughly soaked. After about ten seconds he pulled the chicken out of the water and handed it over to Crystal who started pulling the damp feathers out one handful after another. The last two birds received the same hot water bath and were handed off to Mudon and Red to pluck.
Afterwards Falcon took the pot from the fire and carried it out back behind the camp to dump the water. By the time he got back all three birds had been plucked and were now being cleaned by Sid who removed their feet and heads while prepping the rest of the bird to cook. Shar gave the discarded parts a look over but with a shrug tossed them over to Mutt lying nearby. The tiger happily gobbled them up.
"Boil two of the birds to make into a stew," Falcon instructed. "I'll make up a quick stuffing we can put in the third before we roast it for tonight's dinner." Walking over to the garden Falcon pulled out a large green onion and a small celery stalk. Glancing down at his herb garden he grabbed some tarragon and cloves. Returning to the camp he found Crystal busy prepping tonight's chicken, while Sid had cleaned out the kettle and filled it once more with water and the two chickens destined for stew.
"Have some biscuits left over from this morning?" Falcon asked his wife as he walked into the kitchen area. She nodded toward the knapsack she carried in the mines. Pulling out a half-dozen hard biscuits Falcon crumbled them into a large bowl. Next he chopped up the vegetables, herbs and added them as well. Finally he broke an egg into the mix and used a spoon to stir it well. Afterwards he stuffed it into the cavity of the chicken. Rubbing it down with oil Crystal set it into the small oven that had already had the fire started within.
As comforting as it was to do everyday tasks, there was no denying the tension in the air. "She was picking through them like cattle!" Star said as she took a drink from her ale at the table. "This one is two bony, this one too scarred, this one has nice tits … I felt so bad for them."
Falcon squeezed her shoulder as he walked over to the keg to draw his own mug. "Your kitten is pissed," Sly whispered in mind. "He's already drank two mugs of ale and I haven't gotten a word out of him."
He glanced over at the elf in question. Rain had his eyes focused on the drink in front of him, his whole body was tense. "Suggestions?" Falcon replied.
"Fight him or fuck him," Sly replied silently but a grin crossed his lips.
