Chapter 5- Saviour of Sword Moon
Karr felt as though she had been held captive in this desolate wasteland for an eternity, an endlessly repeating nightmare. But she knew that soon her nightmare would come to an end, one way or another. For days Karr had worked tirelessly towards her goal, finally her work was preparing to come to fruition. Using the sharp piece of rock she had dug out the dirt floor of her cell she had begun chipping away at the base of one of the giant tooth shaped supports which maintained the dark fog which surrounded her cell, sealing her off from the remainder of the galaxy. Karr struck the base of the rock face one final time, splintering the weakened support into tiny fragments. Karr rose to her feet, discarding her blunted tool into a corner of her cell. Karr flexed her muscles, digging her heels into the soft dirt beneath her. Karr charged forward, throwing her entire weight against the weakened support, the unmistakable sound of splintering rock resonated through her small enclosure. Karr stumbled back, charging forward once again she struck the support, the weakened structure collapsed beneath its own weight. The dark fog surrounding her suddenly dissipated, revealing the hell scorned wasteland beyond. Now that she was free Karr would show her captors little mercy. ************************ Karr crouched behind a rock, her eyes and ears open to the world around her. Karr peered over the top of the rock, a single Dark Eldar Warrior was patrolling the secluded pass ahead of her. Karr crept forward silently, she was now within a breath of the guard, with lightning speed she reached forward and grabbed the combat blade hanging loosely from the soldier’s belt. Before he could react Karr plunged the serrated blade into the exposed lip of the creature’s neck between his helmet and his armour. The Warrior let out a demonic cry as the sharp metal cut deeply into his flesh, the Warrior brought his left forearm back past his side in an attempt to drive his bladed forearm guard through his assailant’s torso. Karr maintained her tight hold on the weapon now lodged deeply in his flesh, following his turn she pressed herself tightly against his back. The Warrior leant forward, lifting Karrs feet off of the ground and onto his back. He lashed out with both forearms, throwing Karr to the ground behind him. The guard turned to finally face his assailant, Splinter Rifle still held tightly in his arms. Fire seemed to burn through the silts in his helmet where Karr expected his eyes to be. The Warrior discarded his weapon, the rifle dropping into the dirt beside him. The Warrior reached his gauntleted right hand up across his chest, clasping the hilt of the blade buried deeply in his shoulder and, in one fluid movement, tore the serrated blade from his shoulder in a flurry of demonic alien blood. The Warrior let loose with a demonic howl, seeming to draw intense pleasure from the pain which would have likely left any other creature paralysed with the shear shock. Fresh blood dripped from the tip of the blade, staining the ground beneath it. Slowly the creature began to advance on his prey, his muscles twitching with excitement at the prospect of finally tasting battle after an endless eternity in limbo. The demonic form loomed over his helpless prey; he raised the blade, the weapon descending in a sharp curve ready to deliver the killing blow. Karr rolled to the side, the blade expected to taste fresh flesh instead encountered the hard dirt beneath her. The Warrior quickly realized his mistake, pulling at the stuck blade in an attempt to dislodge it. Karr kicked the Warrior hard in his side, forcing him to roll across onto his back. Karr leapt onto her prey, bringing her fist down hard into the creatures helmet, encountering the solid force of the impact she pulled her hand back in pain, wrapping her uninjured hand around her wounded one. Karrs eyes snapped wide open as she saw the glint of polished metal rising up in a sharp arc, she pulled herself back in time to see the blade slicing the air where her neck had been mere moments ago. Karr clasped her hands across his forearm, utilizing her entire weight to press his right arm hard against his chest, pinning his arm against his chest. The dark Warrior fought against the womans superior hold over his arm, but a warrior of the Black Heart Kabal refused to falter to a xeno whelp. The Warrior continued to press his superior weight behind his arm, his blood lust fuelling his muscles. Karr had no such luxuries, she had spent days working to break out of her cell, living solely off of what wildlife dared to come within range, her muscles ached and her stomach growled but still she persevered because she knew that the consequences of faltering now would be certain death. Karr continued to press her weight against him, hoping to drive the blade closer to her opponent’s throat but more importantly keep it away from her own. But she knew that despite the current stalemate this engagement would end only with the death of at least one combatant. Karr could feel her weakened muscles begin to falter under the intense strain of the engagement, she knew that she could not keep the demon at bay for long. But suddenly she saw something which revitalised her spirit, masking the intense pain seeping through her muscles. The wound she had inflicted on the guard had since deteriorated, both the harsh removal of the blade and the exertion tearing the weakened flesh to shreds, blood spilling out to stain his uniform. Karr stared into his flaming red eyes, they could both see that the other was on the brink of faltering, but still they persisted. But eventually the loss of blood became too great for the Warrior to overcome, and his body simply refused to follow his commands any longer. Karr could feel his arm beginning to go limp, but his eyes continued to burn with intense fiery fury. Though his physical form died his spirit would continue to torment her mentally. Karr allowed the guards body to fall limp in her grasp, collapsing into the dirt. Karr released her grip, kneeling over the body of her fallen enemy, panting the much needed breaths needed to sustain her. Her heart pounded in her chest, both from the excursion of the fight and from the fear that another guard would pass on patrol by and end her suffering. She had to find a way out of here, she had to be free. But then she realized once again that the Greater Good moves in mysterious ways. **************************** Karrs alien feet left shallow imprints in the soft dirt as she walked. Her long confident stride helped to mask the animal fear which burned deeply inside of her; even the patrolling Dark Eldar Warriors paid her little attention as she walked freely through the garden of torture cages. But then they had no reason to take notice of her, dressed as she was in the armour of the Dark Eldar Warrior she had killed. Donning the armour alone had been an arduous task, due to the differing physiologies between Eldar and Tau; she had concealed the body behind a rock formation and turned over the topsoil to obscure the blood stains. Finally Karr removed the blood stain on the shoulder blade of the armour to avoid suspicion, but rubbing the mark with her dank slave clothes had only succeeded in removing a thin layer of the stain which still rebelliously clung to her. Now, her disguise still intact, she continued to walk unhindered through the demonic wasteland, maintaining her composure even as the cries of the damned rang out all around her. Karr suddenly came to a halt, her gaze locked onto the scene unveiling in front of her. A line of Tau Fire Warriors knelt down in a line, each held in place by a Dark Eldar Warrior looming over them, their hand clasped over the soldiers shoulder while their other hand held a combat blade. Karr was instantly thrown back to Kaurava IV, the line of condemned captives, the row of marauding executioners, the impending sacrifice, Karr forced to watch helplessly from the side lines as the dark act unfolded before her. But this time she would ensure that history did not repeat itself. The Warrior leading the execution passed along the line of prisoners, contemplating which of them deserved to face death first. The Warrior suddenly stopped in front of one of the prisoners, his burning eyes focusing down on the unfortunate victim. The guard passed the serrated edge of his forearm blade across his neck. The Dark Eldar Warrior responsible for the indicated prisoner held the Fire Warriors head back, exposing his light blue neck. The soldier chanted a fire song of his cadre, ready to face the eternal void. Karr stepped forward, placing her forearm across the head guards chest plate, halting the act in its place. Karr mustered her sternest voice. “The Homunculus requests that this filth be returned to their cells, he requires them for future experiments” The guard stared into Karrs eyes with piercing gaze. The Warrior inhaled a slow, deep breath of air. “You wish to deny my men the pleasure of their kills, to leave their weapons bloodless?” Karr feared that his gaze would reveal her true identity, she knew that she would have to act quickly to preserve her disguise. In a flash Karr slashed her forearm blade beneath the lip of the guard’s helmet, stopping short before the blade drew blood. In Dark Eldar culture blades were a negotiating tool, if the other drew their weapon the weapons could not be sheathed until the blade tasted blood. In Dark Eldar culture holstering a bloodless weapon was one of the greatest shames. “The Homunculus does not abide failures or delays and neither do his loyal acolytes” The guard stared Karr down, refusing to falter to Karrs stern gaze. The stalemate came to an end, the guard raised his hand. Without question, despite their obvious frustration, the Dark Eldar Warriors pulled their Tau prisoners to their feet, pressing their blades into the creatures back to force them to march on through the wasteland. Out of the corner of her eye Karr could see the face of one of the Tau prisoners being lead away by the Dark Eldar, Taiss! Karr had feared he had been lost in the Dark Eldar raid. Karr suddenly felt an intense compulsion to embrace him, to prove to him that his commander yet lived. But alas she had to maintain her disguise, no matter the sacrifice she had to make. *********************** Karr, her heart pounding in her chest, stepped in into the centre of the Dark Eldar foundry, the heart of the Dark Eldar vehicle raiding force. Karr hoped that she could find a vehicle which could allow her to move deeper into the Dark Eldar wasteland. She hoped she could find out who was leading this pack of raiders- identify them, maybe even attempt to kill him. Alternatively she would even go so far as to try and entice a revolt or a covert prison escape amongst some of the prisoners inhabiting the garden of prison cells lining the wasteland. The entire hanger bay was alive with activity, captured human slaves repairing and refitting the Dark Eldar craft. The workers operated under the eagle eye of their Dark Eldar masters, receiving stern retribution whenever their pace faltered. Karr approached one of the guards. “Which of these Ravens is prepared to depart immediately? My spirit cries for rage of battle” “As do we all, brother” The guard indicated the Raven beside him. “Take this chariot of fire, the maggots just finished refitting it after its last fight. It should help to quench your battle lust” The guards gaze returned to the holo-tablet held in his hands” Karr began readying her for takeoff. “Training for the raid?” The guard asked her casually. Karr froze in her place, fearing that she had been found out. “Raid?” “Nan Yanoi!” The guards’ body seemed to convulse with pleasure at the shear mention of the Tau fortress moon. “Nan Yanoi! The system stronghold of those foul warp impotent Tau! Archon Tahril has declared that we will finally purge the xeno filth from the face of this system and this campaign. They shall simply serve as target practice before we finally have the pleasure of eviscerating and enslaving the fractured remnants of the Imperium, the Necrons and our misguided Craftworld cousins” Karr fought desperately to maintain her composure. From the few areas of this encampment she had seen she knew that these were not simply Dark Eldar raiders as she had first thought, this was a system wide invasion force. If the iron fist of this entire movement came crashing down on Nan Yanoi in force she feared that the security forces would be consumed by a wave of darkness. Karr had hoped that she would have been able to save some other prisoners or even attempt to drive back the Dark Eldar in their own territory. But now she would have to abandon them to her fate in an effort to save her race, she had to warn Nan Yanoi. “Wait” The Dark Eldar Warrior smelled the pungent air in front of him, freezing her in place lest she drew greater suspicion. “Something smells, off, about you” the guard leant closer towards Karr, smelling the air inquisitively. “You carry the aroma” he hissed a breath past his lips. “Of fresh blood” The mention of blood seemed to attract the notice of two other Dark Eldar Warriors, the demons becoming drawn to the scent which hung sweetly in the air. The blood staining her armour was beginning to draw far more attention than Karr ever would have wanted too. She knew that the subtle approach had failed her. In one swift movement Karr drew her combat blade from her belt, catching the Warrior off guard; she slashed the blade across the guards exposed neck in one swift movement. The guard collapsed at Karrs feet, she turned sharply on her heel, drawing her stolen Splinter Rifle she fired on the two guards standing behind her before they could retaliate. The three guards now lay dead at her feet, more would come soon. Karr had to get out of here now. Karr leapt into her craft, her training at the Cadre Academy allowing her to immerse herself with the intricate control systems of the Dark Eldar technology. Karr ignited the vehicles engines, the anti-gravity systems raising the Raven strike craft off of the hangers’ deck. All around her Karr could hear the sharp ping of metal scrapping against metal as the guards opened fire, the bullets ricocheting off of the hull of her craft. Karrs Raven shot out of the open bulkhead door, leaving the Dark Foundry in a sea of chaos. Karr had a head start over her captors, but she knew that they would soon be upon her like wraiths in the darkness. As if manifested by her very fears two Dark Eldar Ravens suddenly appeared on her tail, their guns poised and ready to fire. Karr increased her engines output, hoping to outrun her pursuers. But she soon realized her pursuers were piloting the same high performance craft as her, she knew that speed alone would not ensure her survival. With this sudden realization Karr dropped her altitude to hug the rough, corrupted terrain beneath her. Karr swerved and dodged across the scattered rocks and formations which leapt out of the surface to greet her. Whilst flying at such a low altitude was dangerous at the best of times her evasive manoeuvring through the scattered rock formations was preventing her pursuers from gaining a secure weapon lock on her. Karr arced sharply upwards away from the surface of the wasteland, blazing towards the planet of Kaurava IV which hung in the darkened sky before her. In the dark openness of space she was an easy target for her pursuers. Karr strafed side to side, evading the Splinter rounds which speared towards her. The Ravens passed into the atmosphere of the planet, their hulls burning as they passed through the boundary towards the planet’s surface. Karrs craft passed low over the corrupted swampland of the Parmenian Heath of Kaurava IV, her pursuers were closing in on her, their shots were drawing closer with each passing second. Her time was running short; once again she left her fate in the hands of the Greater Good. ************************* “Shas’O?” the Tau navigation officer glanced up from his computer console, motioning for his commander. After Or’es’Ka had first arrived on Kaurava IV he and his forces had concentrated on discovering the true nest of the Dark Eldar raiding parties who had been haunting the Tau since they had stepped foot onto this accursed planet. Even with the entire surface of the planet under Tau control the raids and attacks had not ceased. With ghosts striking him from every angle Or’es’Ka had decided to base himself in the corrupted swampland of the Parmenian Heath whilst he co-ordinated his troops in the field until the situation was brought under control. Or’es’Ka stood behind the officer. “Yes Fio’La?” “Shas’O, I am detecting incoming Dark Eldar fighter craft” The officer recounted. “How many?” Or’es’Ka asked. “Three detected so far. They are approaching our position fast in attack formation” Fear was beginning to seep into his voice as the representations on his screen drew ever closer to the Tau position. “Launch the Barracudas. Prime the anti-aircraft cannons. Destroy them all!” ************************* The sky was awash with alien plasma rounds. Karr was struggling not only to stay ahead of her pursuers but also evade the sudden barrage of plasma rounds which were erupting from the corrupted swampland before her. Out of the fray two fast moving craft blazed towards her, their plasma cannons firing a flurry of alien gunfire erupting across the sky. Karr banked hard to the side, avoiding becoming caught in the fray as her Dark Eldar pursuers and her unexpected saviours clashed. Karr shot as far away from the engagement as she could manage, but the anti-aircraft fire continued to track her across the open sky. Karr banked sharply towards the source of the anti-aircraft fire, her weapons charged to destroy her target in a single pass. A complex of alien buildings emerged on the swampy horizon before her. Karrs finger froze over the trigger as she saw the design of the buildings, the insignia emblazed on the flags flying high above the installation, they were Tau. They thought she was one of the Dark Eldar! Karr passed over the complex at high speed, the gun batteries continuing to track her across the sky, she knew that she could not evade this barrage of anti-aircraft fire for long, once her pursuers were dealt with those fast attack craft would not be averse to doing the same to her. She had to operate quickly. Karr opened her COM, franticly searching for the correct signal. “Though we travel far from the sands of T’au our castes stand united- Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Ethereal. For the Greater Good” The Tau Barracudas suddenly emerged on Karrs tail, their weapons poised to attack. “To all Tau forces engaging the Dark Eldar Ravens over the Parmenian Heath, this is Shas’El Karr” Karr contacted the Barracuda pilots through the Ravens communication systems. “I am piloting the Dark Eldar Raven, do not fire. I repeat, do not open fire on the Raven” “Shas’El Karr is dead, demon” One of the Barracuda pilots responded to her hails, his voice laced with poison. “She died valiantly preserving the Greater Good against your despicable kind. How dare you corrupt the name of our great Knight with your demonic lies! This is our retribution!” “All Barracuda pilots hold fire” A stern voice silenced the fray. “Shas’O?” one of the pilots questioned in disbelief. “Escort the Raven back to the Outpost” Or’es’Ka’s steely, authoritative tone spoke through the ships communication link. “Affirmative Shas’O” The Barracudas moved into escort formation behind Karrs Raven. Karr had been brought back from the brink of the abyss, she was returning home. ******************************* The Dark Eldar Raven swooped down towards the Tau base nestled deep in the Parmenian heath, the craft gracefully touching down in the main hanger bay in the centre of the complex. The alien craft was quickly surrounded on all sides by dozens of Tau Fire Warriors, some crouched behind supply crates and other defensive barriers whilst others defiantly stood out of cover. Their Plasma Rifles all centred on the Ravens cockpit; ready to fire the weapons at whatever demon horrors dared to emerge. The canopy hissed silently open, two long slender arms rising out of the cockpit. Karr slowly pulled herself onto her feet, keeping her arms high above her head. She stepped out of the cockpit onto the hull of her craft, keeping her arms raised above her head lest she provoke the Fire Warriors into premature action. The sight of a Dark Eldar Warrior standing atop their demonic chariot was sufficient to send some of the younger Shas’La’s scrambling into cover for fear of their lives. Karr slowly reached up to the side of her helmet, clasping the hard metal in her long fingers she pulled the helmet from her head, a plume of long red hair cascading from beneath her helmet. Karr discarded the piece of armour at her feet. The sudden revelation sent a shockwave through the Tau ranks- each soldier’s weapon falling slack in their arms. However some Fire Warriors, convinced that this was merely a Dark Eldar illusion, did not allow their weapons to falter from their target. From amongst the assembled Tau forces emerged Commander Or’es’Ka; Karr could see in his stunned eyes that even he had not expected it to be true. But suddenly a crude alien smile formed on his lips. “Back from the void, Shas’El?” ********************* The system had undoubtedly changed during her short imprisonment. When Karr had commanded the raid which had lead to her capture the Tau had only just gained a tentative foothold on Kaurava IV, how the Tau forces encompassed the entire surface of the planet. But the knowledge gave Karr little comfort as she knew that the Dark Eldar were gathering their forces just beyond the sight of the Tau. Though she did not know their plan to breach the Tau defences after seeing the extent of their concealed force she knew that if they were not warned Nan Yanoi would fall. Shas’El Karr, having once again been given a clean suit of her Fire Warrior armour, followed Or’es’Ka into the main chamber of the Coalition centre in the heart of the Tau citadel on Nan Yanoi. The Tau Ethereal Aur’Ro’Yer sat on his extravagant throne at the end of the magnificent chamber, flanked on either side by Elite Fire Warrior Bodyguards. Karr and Or’es’Ka approached Aur’Ro’Yer, greeting him with a formal salute. “Noble Ethereal Aur’Ro’Yer, I bring before you Shas’El Karr. Once a prisoner captured by the Dark Eldar she recently escaped of her own accord and brings with her some disturbing news” Karr stepped forward. “Noble Ethereal, I bring grave news. The Dark Eldar threat is far greater than we could have ever anticipated. They are massing forces in preparation for an attack against us; we must immediately recall our forces from the frontlines and place all of Nan Yanoi’s Security Forces on high alert” The Ethereal pondered her words. “That is indeed a disturbing revelation Shas’El, if it proves true” The Ethereal motioned towards Or’es’Ka with a wave of his hand. “I believe that the reports received from Commander Or’es’Ka state that all Kaurava IV is under Tau control and that the entire surface of the planet has been swept for enemy encampments. The reports given by our Stealth Teams positioned across the remainder of the system indicate that it is simply Dark Eldar raiders taking advantage of the chaos caused by this campaign. Their attacks are far too random and wide spread for them to have established themselves securely in one location within the system without detection. I am confident that once the fighting has ceased, and a single faction reigns supreme, the raiders will quickly dissipate” Karr spoke “The Dark Eldar are masters of disguise and espionage. They built the Webway gates in this system, they must know of some other way of utilizing the gates. Perhaps they found something where they were based- , an artefact or some other technology they could utilize to travel across the system. They called their base Lacunae” “Lacunae is the name of the moon orbiting Kaurava IV, a desolate ball of rock residing just on the edge of the Warp Storm. Nothing could survive there” The Ethereal spoke with a mystical tone. “Surely the one place that the Dark Eldar could conceal them in mass would be the one place in the system we fear to tread?” Karr said. Or’es’Ka stepped out in support of his Shas’El. “All of the Dark Eldar soldiers my troops engaged across Kaurava IV marched under the banner of the Black Heart Kabal. We have also received reports from our scouts stationed across the remainder of Kaurava that the Dark Eldar attacks against the other factions were centred on the Webway portals” “The Black Heart Kabal were the same faction I fought on Kaurava IV and the sect who are hiding on Lacunae as we speak. We must act now before it is too late” Karr continued. “You must understand, Shas’El, my decisions affect not only the fate of my soldiers and this campaign but also those systems on the borders of our Empire. I will not act in haste; if we fail in this endeavour many more of our kin may be threatened. Attacking the Dark Eldar and drawing our forces away from the frontlines may be precisely what these creatures were expecting” The doors to the Coalition Centre flung open with a resounding crash, a Tau Shas’Vre burst in on the exchange, charging through the room towards them. “Noble Ethereal! We have a dire situation; we have just lost contact with our perimeter station in Monse on Kaurava II” “Are they scheduled for any communication upgrades?” Or’es’Ka asked. “Any cosmic activity detected in the system perhaps?” “Before we lost contact” The Shas’Vre produced a holographic tablet from his belt pouch. “We received this transmission” The Shas’Vre activated the projector; the image of a Tau Fire Warrior emerged on the screen. “They’re attacking!” the soldier yelled frantically, glancing over his shoulder before turning back to his screen. “There are too many. They’re in the shadows. Nan Yanoi is vulnerable! I repeat Nan Yanoi-” the transmission suddenly silenced in a blur of static. “The transmission ends there, Shas’O” the soldier bowed a mournful head. “We have to assume that they have been lost” Or’es’Ka activated COM link. “Nan Yanoi perimeter station Alpha, this is Shas’O Or’es’Ka. What is the situation?” The perimeter guard emerged on the COM link screen. “Nan Yanoi Perimeter Station Alpha is receiving, Shas’O. The situation is normal” “We have just lost contact with our outpost Monse. We fear that the Dark Eldar may be mounting an assault” “I will put all of my forces on alert Shas’O. Wait-” The Fire Warrior paused, staring at a console just off screen. “Shas’O we just detected an anomaly on the perimeter sensors” the guard typed on his keyboard “Running diagnostics” the soldier suddenly froze. “Shas’O it is Dark Eldar! The Dark Eldar are-” the guard convulsed, his throat gurgling demonically. The pointed tips of two blades emerged from the guard’s chest, deep blue blood weeping from the cuts in his chest. The guard was thrown aside like a cheap rag doll, in his place stood a creature of pure malevolence, a Dark Eldar Mandrake. The creature hissed at the camera, slashing its bladed claws across the lens, silencing the camera feed. The Tau leaders stood frozen in silence, they all know what this meant. Karr knew what had to be done. She secured her helmet, walking out of the Ethereals chambers with fire in her eyes, ready to face her enemies. *************************** “What is the situation, Shas’Vre?” Karr spoke as she stepped into the Cadre Headquarters. “The Dark Eldar have breached our perimeter” The Shas’Vre held a holographic tablet in his hand. “They have begun establishing a substantial defence at the base of the Citadel” “They have established themselves securely” Shas’O Or’es’Ka stepped into the Cadre Warroom. “But as of yet they have not advanced beyond their perimeter defences. We have attempted to strike them with the Ar’Ka Cannon but with little success, they are like wraiths in the night and have proved difficult enemies to strike” “We have directed waves of vehicles, infantry and aircraft against them but they have established fortified Towers of Loathing across all of access routes” the Shas’Vre activated the holographic display, a miniature representation of the battlefield before them. “This is unlike any other Dark Eldar strategy we have ever encountered. They usually prefer to cut through their opponents without mercy, utilizing their speed and stealth to cut them down in a blink. They are not a species known to favour entrenched warfare; there must be a reason why they have decided to alter their strategy now” Or’es’Ka pondered the display. “Reinforcements. They are holding their ground whilst they wait for a larger force to arrive. A small force was necessary for them to slip past our orbital defences unnoticed; now that they are here all they require is the might of their army to tear through our defences in one fell swoop. The current concentration of Dark Eldar forces within their base seems minimal, but once more arrive it is unlikely that we will be able to hold back the dark tide of the Black Heart Kabal” “What about requisitioning reinforcements from the fleet?” Karr asked. “The fleet has been hailed” Or’es’Ka informed his subordinate. “But the Warpstorm is interfering with their navigational systems. We are utilizing beacons to guide them back to Nan Yanoi, but their arrival will take time which we do not have to spare. For now we must rely upon the Nan Yanoi Security Forces, which are unfortunately dwindling rapidly as we speak. We must devise a way to force the Dark Eldar from our moon quickly, or this may well be the end of our part in the Kaurava conflict” Karr pondered his words. “Shas’O? You mentioned that the strength of the enemy force currently on the planet is minimal, and to compensate they are relying upon emplaced towers to keep our troops at bay?” “Correct Shas’El” Karr pondered the tactical display. “There are very few Dark Eldar who could penetrate our stealth fields. I shall lead an Elite team of Tau Stealth Troopers into their base to destroy their plasma generators. With no power to sustain them their towers will shut down and our forces shall be free to drive those demons from our moon” “Very well Shas’El” Or’es’Ka formed a smile on his alien lips. “If you succeed in destroying their power network I shall follow with the entire force of Nan Yanoi to support you. May the Greater Good watch over us” *************************** Karr glanced over her shoulder, her three Tau Stealth Team members grouping behind her. They were now within sight of the Dark Eldar base; their stealth armour would ensure that they remained invisible to all except the Dark Eldar commanders. The pass leading towards the perimeter of the Dark Eldar base, the Towers of Loathing pulsating with demonic energy guarding the path, was littered with dead bodies and the broken chassis of Tau Vehicles and Aircraft. Beyond the guarded perimeter Karr could see the bustle of Dark Eldar soldiers and vehicles moving freely throughout their base. Karr prepared to order her squad forward, but was suddenly thrown aback as one of the Tau Fire Warrior corpses coughed to life. The soldier shakily passed his hand across his chest armour in search of wounds. Karr inhaled a sharp breath as she saw the two Dark Eldar Warriors stepping out into the wasteland of destroyed vehicles and Tau corpses. The Tau soldier collapsed limp into the dirt, hoping his facade of death would allow him to pass beneath their demonic gaze. The guards silently approached, looming over one of the desecrated Tau corpses, jabbing them with their boot or the bladed tip of their rifle, before moving onto the next body. The guards continued their ritual until they loomed over the injured soldier. “We have a clear shot Shas’El” one of Karrs Stealth Warriors lined up his shot. “Shall we engage?” One of the guards pressed his boot into the soldiers’ side, rolling the guard onto his back in the dirt. The two guards loomed over their latest find, attempting to discern the worth of the morsel. The guard dropped a heavy boot down onto the soldiers stomach, the Tau solider could not hold back the howl of pain, his arms curling around his chest in a desperate attempt to protect himself. The guards let out a demonic cackle at the prospect, the Warriors reached down, clasping the Tau Fire Warrior under the soldiers’ shoulders, dragging him across the barren wasteland towards the Dark Eldar encampment. Karr was now once again faced with another dilemma of conscience- did she dare risk revealing herself to the Dark Eldar to save a single soldier? It was how it had transpired on Lacunae, Karr forced to watch helplessly from the shadows as the Dark Eldar conducted their demonic practices. But now the stakes were higher, the entire Tau movement in the Kaurava system was relying on Karr to succeed in their mission. If she failed every Tau soldier who gave their life in service to the Greater Good would had died in vain, every remaining supporter of the Greater Good on Nan Yanoi or the remainder of the system would likely fall to Dark Eldar raids, or be taken into captivity. The Tau systems bordering Kaurava would likely suffer attacks from the victor of the campaign, be they Dark Eldar or other. She could not afford to fail, sacrifices had to be made. “Move out” Karr forced the words past her shaking lips. Karrs stealth team members allowed their weapons to fall slack in their arms. They watched in sullen silence as the Dark Eldar Warriors dragged their prisoner away into their dark domain, likely to suffer torture and a slow, painful death at the hands of these sadists. He would be avenged. ************************* Karrs strike team moved silently through the Dark Eldar encampment. Dark Eldar vehicles and patrols moved all around them, completely oblivious to their presence right before their eyes. Karrs squad moved deeper into the alien complex, finally emerging on the sparsely defended far side of the base. This side of the compound was lined with half a dozen Plasma Generators, supposedly safe this far away from the frontlines. Karr indicated the generators to her squad, each one stepped forward in a sequence to plant a charge on each of the generators while the others watched their backs for any indication that the Dark Eldar were aware of their presence. All of the charges were planted, the operation was nearly complete. As soon as the charges detonated the Dark Eldar camp would quickly fall into disarray and the entire Tau force would descend onto the Dark Eldar camp in force. Karr motioned for her squad to move out, the Stealth Team forming up behind her as they moved towards the centre of the base which would lead towards the border with Tau held territory. They passed the Dark Eldar Kabal Fortress, the heart and command centre of the Dark Eldar war effort on Nan Yanoi. Karr and her squad crouched in the shadows of the Dark Eldar building, allowing a convoy of Dark Eldar vehicles to pass in front of them. Karr crept out of cover ahead of her squad, scanning her pulse rifle in front of her, so far this slumbering beast had not been disturbed by their presence. “So...” a demonic voice spoke all around her, she froze midstep. “The fly has willingly stepped into the spiders’ web” Karr turned gently to the side, keeping her weapon slack in her arms. The Homunculus stood with his bladed arm outstretched before him. The Dark Eldar commander was surrounded on all sides by Dark Eldar Warriors, the circle of them advancing towards Karr, encircling her, trapping her. Karr could see out of the corner of her eye that one of the Warriors was standing less than a metre away from where her squad was concealed, but so far their attention remained focused entirely upon her. “You caused quite a stir when you escaped Lacunae. Did you honestly believe that in coming here you could warn them of our coming?” the phrase was posed more as a pitiful statement than a question. “I just wanted to prove how weak your forces were; you cannot even maintain a hold on your own prisoners” Karr spoke to the demonic entity. A sinister smile grew on the creatures lips. “All you did was let your own guard down and opened the way for us” the smile suddenly dissipated. “Drop your weapon” “Shas’El” a far more reassuring voice entered her head. “We have a clean shot to terminate the Homunculus, Shas’El. Shall we engage?” “Negative” Karr did not allow her eyes to falter from the Homunculus. “Hold fire. Activate the explosives in exactly five seconds, and prepare for a fire-fight. For the Greater Good soldiers” she was careful only to speak through her helmets COM link, careful to maintain her pose lest she reveal the existence of her guardian angels. Karr kept her weapon held loosely in her arms, but she did not discard it. The Warrior standing at the Homunculus’s left side stepped forward, his weapon pointed into the centre of the Karrs head. “Drop your wea-” The explosives triggered in an up wash of dust, shrapnel and superheated plasma. The guards instinctively turned, a momentary lapse in attention allowed Karr to slip free of their hold. Karr pulled her weapon into her arms, firing several shots towards the creature standing before her. Karr scrambled to her side, glancing over to see the Warrior collapse to the floor. Karr leapt behind the cover of the Dark Eldar building, the covering fire from her squad cutting through the ranks of Dark Eldar who were unable to find adequate cover. The Homunculus turned to face where his captive had previously stood, his piercing gaze following her wake in the void to where she now stood. “Kill them!” the Homunculus growled, throwing his bladed hand in front of himself. The Warriors opened fire with a barrage of corrupted splinter fire. The Tau opened fire with their pulse weapons, the outcropping of the Dark Eldar building they were crouched behind taking the majority of the brunt of the impact from the explosions; the squads armour absorbed the remainder. The Tau Pathfinders would surely have seen the explosion from the Citadel, and the ensuing fire fight should reassure them that there were still soldiers alive for them to come and rescue. Now it was simply a case of holding the line against this Dark Eldar scourge until reinforcements arrived. “Shas’El, behind you!” Karr turned in time to see two Dark Eldar Warriors emerging behind them; two clean shots to the head pacified the threat of flanking. But this situation was quickly turning against them; it would not be long before they were completely overrun. If support were to come it would have to come soon. A flight of Dark Eldar Scourges emerged beside their Warrior kin to bolster the Dark Eldar barrage. The demonic furies leapt into the air, dropping their ferocious barrage from the sky. The Tau’s cover provided little protection against attack from the sky, the squad turned their weapons skyward in a desperate attempt to thin out the deadly barrage, but their small size and manoeuvrability made any attempt at retaliation almost completely futile. It now seemed that this was to be their last stand. A flurry of plasma rounds tore across the sky, impacting the lead member of the Scourge squad, tearing through the creature’s wing and forcing him to fall to the ground under the power of the moons gravity. The remainder of the Scourge squad broke apart, opening the breach for a flight of Tau Barracudas to strafe through. Accompanying this glorious sight was the rhythmic clank of Tau boots against the polished metal of the Citadel, escorted by Drone Harbingers and Skyray Missile Gunships. The exchange of Tau plasma rounds with splinter shards cut between the two factions. The Tau plasma fire was tearing through the rear of the Dark Eldar positions, their perimeter defences no longer able to hold back the wave of soldiers which were pouring into the base from all sides. The Dark Eldar were quickly being pushed back, the strategically positioned Stealth Team combined with the immense firepower of the Tau reinforcements forced the Dark Eldar through the breach in the Citadels defences they had formed when they had first reached the moon the Dark Eldar had been driven from Nan Yanoi. ************************************ Karr sat on the window seat in her quarters overlooking the main courtyard of the Citadel in the heart of Nan Yanoi. Even in the silver glow of the light reflecting against the moons high silver cliffs the entire Tau complex was alive with movement- Earth Caste drones scavenged the remains of Dark Eldar technology, Fire Warriors patrolled the perimeter, Dark Eldar prisoners who had not managed to slit their necks before capture were escorted to be interviewed by the Water Caste diplomats. The battle of Nan Yanoi had ended in a Tau victory, the Dark Eldar had been driven from the moon’s surface, but at a terrible costs in the lives of faithful Tau soldiers. Karr had even been declared a hero of Kaurava, her bold attack had allowed the Tau to continue their campaign to secure the Kaurava system for the Greater Good, but at what price? Karr closed her eyes, allowing her to become swept up in the memories of the battle. ************************************* A sharp tap against the door of her quarters awoke Karr from her delicate trance; another tap assured Karr that her mind was not deceiving her. “Come in” Karr called into the void. Karr continued to stare out of the window overlooking the courtyard, her sensitive ears heard the sharp click as the door lock disengaged, accompanied by the light patter of feet against the softly carpeted floor as someone stepped into the room. “Shas’El Karr?” A female voice called her name. The door closed silently, the sound of gentle breathing assured Karr that her visitor still waited for her to respond. Karr finally turned, rising to her feet to face her visitor. The young female standing before her was dressed in the simple sand coloured pants and shirt of an off-duty Tau Fire Warrior, her raven black hair cascaded unhindered down her back. She was young, athletic and clearly maintained a keen military eye for detail, nothing about her clothes, her hair or her stance allowed any imperfections, she was the picture of a model Fire Warrior. The girl stood faultlessly, her posture straight and her eyes unwavering. She stood proudly at attention, waiting to be addressed by her superior officer. “What is your name?” Karr spoke. “Shas’El. My name is Shi’Va, it means ‘Great Victory’” the Fire Warrior spoke. “I had a question I wished to ask you, if you would permit it?” Karr smiled at the sweet young girl. “Of course” Shi’Va stepped forward into the centre of the room. “Is it true, Shas’El? Did you lead the initial attack against the Dark Eldar during the Siege of Nan Yanoi?” Shi’Va spoke as though she yearned for the tales to be true. “That is correct, Shas’La” Karr affirmed. Shi’Vas gaze finally left Karr, her eyes descending to the floor, a smile forming on her lips. She allowed her gaze to rise once again. “So the rumours are true then. You are the Knight who was taken captive by the Dark Eldar but after escaping from their foul clutches you returned to Nan Yanoi and lead the defence of the base, forcing the Dark Eldar scourge from our stronghold” A gentle smile formed on the girls lips. “The way that the soldiers were talking about you I expected you to have golden wings, the strength to move planets, become invisible at will and your very presence would banish demons back to the void they were created from” Karr could feel a smile of admiration forming on her lips. “I swore an oath to protect all those faithful to the Greater Good” Karr indicated the window seat behind her, offering the other side of the wide seat to her companion. Karr sat onto the window seat, Shi’Va sitting across from her companion, the two of them stared out across the silver moonlight which cascaded across the courtyard. “My squad was to be part of the next attack to follow in your wake” Shi’Va turned to face Karr. “Had your mission failed Nan Yanoi would have fallen, and we would have perished under their dark assault” Shi’Va placed her hand over Karrs, the tips of her fingers gently waving across Karrs hand. “A sense of honour compels me to reward you for your sacrifice” “Very well and how did you plan to reward me for me for such a heroic act?” Karr inquired. Shi’Va smiled meekly. “In whatever way you wish Shas’El. Among my Cadre I am regarded as a skilled healer and masseur. As one of the few female soldiers serving among the Fire Caste I have found my treatments much sought after by all ranks of my Cadre” A tranquil gentleness seeped into the girls’ voice. “It helps you to achieve a serene calmness even as the battle rages all around you. It has become something of an art for me. I would be honoured if you would allow me to perform the same for you, Shas’El” “Please” Karr wrapped her fingers around her counterparts’ hand. “Call me Karr” “Very well, Karr” Shi’Va forced the last word past her lips, unsure of the appropriateness of addressing a Fire Caste leader solely by name. Karr rose to her feet, Shi’Va rising to her feet alongside her. Karr lead Shi’Va towards the large queen sized bed which dominated the far wall of the room. Karr sat at the edge of the bed, Shi’Va slipped onto the bed beside her. Shi’Va slipped her simple pumps off of her feet, rising up onto her knees she moved behind her companion. Shi’Va’s hands fell lightly on Karrs shoulders, her finger tips gliding across Karrs biceps and back up to her shoulders. The girl’s delicate fingers pressed firmly yet serenely into Karrs tense shoulder muscles, attempting to unknot the build up of tension. Shi’Va laid her chin on Karrs shoulder. The younger girls’ fingers pressed into the nape of Karrs neck, releasing the tension which the horror of a dozen harsh battles had left weighing down on her shoulders, her fingers enflaming Karrs nerves. Shi’Va allowed her lips to graze Karrs ear. “You feel tense, relax. You require Kau, rest after hunting. Allow your tired spirit to rest after your harsh battles” Karr moved her shoulders in time with Shi’Va’s gentle massage, the serene touch soothing her pained muscles. Karr could feel her fingers instinctively raising from her sides, serenely moving across the fabric of her dress, coming to rest at the base of her neck. Karr’s long fingers wrapped around the bow of her dress which held the thin material snugly to her tranquil blue skin. Karr clasped the tie of the knot, pulling it lightly she released the soft bow which kept her dress in place. The light fabric fell away with a gentle flutter, the strands seeming to dance through the air as they descended, silently coming to rest against Karrs bare shoulders, Shi’Vas hands kneading Karrs tense muscles, softening her with each gentle movement. Shi’Va’s hands slowly began to descend down Karrs muscled shoulders, her finger tips brushing past Karrs bare breasts. Her angelic touches seamlessly passed over Karrs firm, battle forged biceps down to her petite forearms and finally down to her small, smooth hands. Their fingers intertwined together, joining as though they had been formed for eachother. Shi'Va’s lips brushed past Karrs ear, her warm breath sending shivers cascading down her spine. “You may wish to lie down on your back in order to experience the full pleasure of my techniques” Shi’Va’s lips curled into an alien smile. Karr allowed herself to fall backwards into the soft pillows behind her, becoming consumed by the softness of the pillows surrounding her. Shi’Va lay alongside her commander, running her fingertips across Karrs exposed stomach. Shi’Va’s explorative fingers passed seamlessly up through the valley of Karrs firm cleavage. Shi’Va’s fingers glided up over the curve of Karrs breast, descending down the outside of the breast and back between Karrs breasts before descending down the outside of her left breast in a figure 8 pattern. Karr squirmed under the gentle caress of her masseur, her muscles liquefying beneath the girls touch. Shi’Va suddenly stirred, rising from Karrs side she loomed over her partner like a wraith preparing to descend on her helpless victim, planting her hands into the mattress either side of Karrs sides. Shi’Va lowered her lips down onto Karrs flat stomach, her tongue licking gracefully across the tranquil blue skin, savouring the explosion of forbidden flavours hanging there. Shi’Va planted an array of passionate kisses across Karrs bare stomach, savouring the alien textures and flavours which hung there. Shi’Va clasped her hands across Karrs stomach, her fingers massaging into the complex network of muscles. Shi’Va suddenly shifted, raising herself up she planted her knees into the soft mattress either side of Karrs stomach, and her hands tickling at Karrs exposed stomach. Her explorative fingers began her ascent up across Karrs firm torso, Shi’Va’s tongue following in her stead. “Doran” Calm. cascaded past Shi’Va’s lips. Her fingers finally reached the under curve of Karrs bare breasts. Shi’Va leant forward, her lips brushing against Karrs, her gaze peering into Karrs eyes. Karr could resist her touch no longer. Her lips leapt forward, clasping against eachother in an epic flurry of pleasurable kisses. Karr threw her arms around Shi’Va’s back, pulling the smaller girl tightly into her arms, pressing her against Karrs bare bosom, the sensitive nubs separated only by Shi’Va’s soft shirt. Karr lifted her back off of the mattress, forcing her entire weight behind her right shoulder, rolling the two of them across the mattress and onto the other side of the bed, Karr emerging on top as the dominant victor of the two. Karr continued to kiss the younger girl, hoping to enflame the spark of lust which was clearly burning within her. Karr finally broke the primal clash of tongue upon tongue for a breath air required to sustain her. Breaking the bond between their puckered lips allowed Karrs conscious mind to once again become her own, her brain suddenly processing the sheer weight of what had just transpired. Karrs arms fell slack at her sides, raising herself off of the bed onto her knees. Karr had allowed her most primal instincts to overcome her; she had allowed her eyes to glow red with uncontained passion. Perhaps her experiences on Lacunae had truly changed her in ways she was only now beginning to realize. Shi’Va raised her back off of the bed, her eyes level with Karrs, her gaze burning deeply. But Shi’Va suddenly surprised her, she kissed back. The kiss was cautious and delicate, infused with the sweet innocence of a young girl trying to steal her first loves kiss. Shi’Va ended the embrace, drawing her lips away and her eyes staring intently into Karrs, hoping for response. “I wished I had O’ran, the courage to dare what I did to you” Shi’Va broke the silence. “Ko, I only hoped that I would be worthy of such an honour. I wish to know you, Gal, explore you” Shi’Va allowed her fingers to run across the back of Karrs exposed hands, “I wish to know what made you into what you are, who you are. You are a hero to every loyal servant of the Greater Good in Kaurava, our Lar’Shi” Karrs features darkened. “I am no hero. You are my Ko’vash, my worthy cause. I am a Mont’Da, a darkness of war, a necessary evil; I fight from the darkness to preserve the light of the Greater Good-” Shi’Va leant forward, placing her lips against Karrs, stifling the remainder of her response. Shi’Va smiled sweetly. Karr savoured the sweet caress of her mouth against Shi’Va’s, Karrs explorative tongue passing across Shi’Va’s perfect lips. Shi’Va left a trail of kisses across Karrs enflamed cheeks, her lips hovering over Karrs ear hole. “No one who kisses like that could ever be of the darkness” A smile grew across Karrs deep blue lips. Shi’Va patiently awaited her Knights reply, but Karr choose to respond with actions rather than words, leaning forward and brushing her lips sensually across Shi’Va’s while her mischievous hands scurried down her sides, leaving a trail of ticklish goose bumps in her wake. Karr clasped the hem of Shi’Va’s top between her finger tips, gently lifting the material up across the sculpted abdomen of her younger partner. Karr drew the thin fabric up over Shi’Vas flat stomach, the material caressing her modest breasts as the shirt continued its ascent, revealing Shi’Va’s simple black undergarments which helped to maintain her modesty. Shi’Vas nipples hardened into delicate nubs in the wake of Karrs movements, the anticipation of the pleasures to come burning up inside of her. Shi’Vas top finally passed across the mould of her modest breasts, rising up to cover her eyes, concealing her angelic features from Karrs wandering gaze. Karr suddenly ended her advance, her mind enthralled by the sight which lay before her, with her well toned physique and tranquil blue skin she was a picture of the perfect soldier of the Fire Caste. Karr could no longer constrain her temptations any longer her lips lunged forward like a Kroot Hound leaping atop their wounded prey. Karrs lips caressed Shi’Vas, her tongue pressing past Shi’Vas lips and into the warm, untainted touch of the girls’ virgin mouth. Karrs hands snuck down Shi’Vas arms, her finger tips caressing Shi’Vas sides whilst her lips pressed against Shi’Vas wavering mouth. Karrs fingers embraced the mounds of Shi’Vas pert breasts beneath her palms, her finger tips caressing the girls’ flawless skin. Shi’Va lay beneath her partner, her body quivering and her lips panting in much needed breaths as her nerves were enflamed. The revelation suddenly dawned upon Karr, she was beginning to enjoy the primal savagery of the embrace, her mind savouring the way in which the young girl formed and moved beneath her touch, moulding as Karr willed her too. The girl allowed herself to be touched by Karrs corruption, even seeming to derive pleasure from the perversity of the sinful act. Karr was beginning to see it now, behind the unwavering gaze and solid mind conditioned through years of military training still burned the flicking embers of inexperienced youth. “Oh” Shi’Va suddenly spoke, breaking Karr from her looming trance. Shi’Va wriggled her head free from her shirt, her piercing eyes staring back at Karr. “So you do enjoy it rough Shas’El?” Shi’Vas smile grew. Shi’Va suddenly pressed herself forward, planting her whole weight behind her right shoulder, pressing herself against Karrs chest she rolled Karr onto her back, Shi’Va leaping atop her companion lying beneath her. “Two can play that game, Karr” Shi’Va leant forward and clasped her lips to Karrs, savouring the delectably exotic blend of the battlefield combined with the silky soft caresses of elegant living within the bastion of the Tau Empire. Shi’Vas fingers touched the fine cloth of Karrs elegant flowing dress, feeling the fabric move and form in waves beneath her finger tips. Shi’Va clasped the hem of the formal dress beneath her fingers, the pads of her fingers caressing the silky smooth fabric. Shi’Va began to draw Karrs dress up across her supple thighs and her flat, muscular stomach. The dress crested the mound of Karrs firm breasts, exposing the beautiful orbs of flesh to Shi’Vas ravenous gaze, it required her entire will to barely contain her desires to taste of the forbidden fruit which was now allowed free for her to sample. But for now Shi’Va forced herself to maintain her composure as she continued to draw Karrs dress up over her head, her fiery red hair cascading down her back like a living flame engulfing the length of her back. Shi’Va laid the elegant dress down on the bed beside them, taking gentle care with the delicate fabric. Shi’Va looked down in awe to see the elegant figure laid bare before her. “There are some techniques which I only offer to few of my Cadre, techniques which can help you to release your true potential from within. Your energy, your strength, your will” Shi’Va placed her hands to Karrs sides, Shi’Va licked her lips eagerly. “Techniques which involve the use of my tongue upon some more intimate places” Shi’Va lowered herself down on top of Karrs heaving bosom, inhaling the exotic scent at its source. Shi’Va placed the tip of her tongue against the base of Karrs stomach, tasting the thin film of sweat which covered her body, slowly beginning to trail her tongue southwards. Shi’Va passed her tongue down across Karrs creamy right thigh, slowly drawing herself back towards the centre of the warmth. Shi’Vas tongue touched the top of Karrs moist pussy lips, the pleasure intensifying tenfold as she touched the true source of Karrs scent. Shi’Vas tongue caressed Karrs outer lips, shocks of pleasure coursing through her entire body, her muscles tightening of their own accord. Shi’Va dared to penetrate her tongue deeper and deeper past Karrs outer lips, the stimulation exciting Karrs sensitive nerves. Shi’Va’s tongue strained against Karrs lips tightening around her explorative tongue, the building resistance only serving to augment the elicit thrill as Shi’Va penetrated deeper into Karrs pussy. Shi’Va slipped her tongue from Karrs warm pussy, her muscles strained from the extensive workout she could do little else but lay her head against Karrs stomach. Shi’Va panted some much required breaths past her lips, her body flooding with the necessary oxygen to sustain her. Shi’Va slipped herself up across Kars front, lifting herself up above her partner. Shi’Va smiled down at Karr, her heart racing at the sight of Karr lying beneath her. Shi’Va slipped her hands down her front, feeling her smooth skin ripple beneath her finger tips. Shi’Va hooked her finger tips beneath the lip of her sand coloured pants, drawing the fabric down her sculpted legs to reveal ever more of her own curvaceous figure. Shi’Va crawl ever further up Karrs figure, placing her warm pussy lips to Karrs face. Karr inhaled the delectable scent of youth, Karr plunged her tongue deep into the girls quivering pussy. Shi’Vas entire body trembled with glee, Karrs expert tongue finding and caressing every one of Shi’Vas intimate spots one after another in quick succession. Karrs intimate caresses were driving the young girl towards the point of no return. Shi'Va clasped her hands against the wall for support, her body faltering beneath her own weight. Karr clasped onto Shi’Vas firm rear for greater leverage, allowing Karr to slip her tongue ever deeper into her young counterpart. In the end Shi’Vas strength faltered, all she could do was collapse unceremoniously atop her partner. Karr wrapped her arms around Shi’Va in a motherly embrace, her fingers running through Shi’Vas long elegant hair. Karr pressed her length against Shi’Vas pussy lips, caressing her most sensitive region with the silky smooth flesh of her thigh, eliciting another gentle moan beneath her breath. Shi’Va clasped her lips tightly together, attempting to stifle her own cries of pleasure. Karr tightened her hold. “The room is shrouded from the chaos of the outside universe, we are safe here” Karr placed her lips to Shi’Vas ear. “Call out with me, Firefly” Shi’Va released her hold over her inhibitions, the two lovers calling out in blissful unity as they embraced the warm glow of their shared orgasms. *************************************** Karr suddenly stirred from her delicate slumber, her eyes fluttering open at the sight of the burning sunlight beaming through the open window of her quarters. Karr drew her arms closer to her chest in an effort to hold on to her heat, her arms wrapped around another warm body. Karr begrudgingly forced her eyes to flutter open, her eyes being met by the sight of the young soldier who had visited her the night before curled up on the bed beside her. Karr leant forward placing her lips to the girls’ forehead in a comforting embrace. Karr ended the kiss, finding Shi’Va staring back at her. “Did you sleep well my little Firefly?” Shi’Va smiled sweetly. “Yes, thank you, Karr” they were both unsure precisely how much time had passed since their union had begun. “I am afraid that morning seems to have come” Karr peered out of the window behind her, seeing the warm morning light seeping through the open window. “It appears you are correct, it seems we must return to our duty before the light crests the highest peak and the rest of the Cadre learns of our meeting” Shi’Va slipped off of the bed, rising to her feet to embrace the warm glow of the morning light. The Fire Warrior gathered her discarded clothes from across the bed, redressing in looming silence. Shi’Va stared out the window across the Tau Citadel within the Kaurava system. “Shall we ever meet again, Karr?” she said the name as though it would be her last chance to say it. Shi’Va felt arms wrapping around her waist and a warm weight pressing against her. “We shall meet again, on the battlefield in service to the Greater Good” Karr placed her lips to Shi’Vas ear. “Farewell my little Ko’vash”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.
