  Brann cracked his knuckles as he got up. Nock was smoking one of his cigars, and Aunt Shiva was organizing her forces into Nocks' forces. Aunt Shiva would soon be taking up role as Mayor for Ironmaw, and as such she would be the garrison commander till Lord Fluffytail said otherwise. Each of them received a supply wagon for 500 gold, while Brann and Shiva received a ballista for 2000 gold. It appeared that Lord Fluffytail had no intentions to take any of the waiting trained troops in the either the Training Yard or the Orc Tower, but he did buy 2 more Champions for 5000 gold.

  The first to leave the Tavern was a young redheaded human woman, shaped as close as possible to an hourglass-like figure, and clad in an outfit that was clearly made for her before puberty hit. She had piercing blue eyes that caught every little movement around her. The Battlemage was well known through out Warsaw. For she was The Walking Inferno, Brianna, and she commanded fear in all who set eyes upon her. To Brann, she was his older sister, who would fuss over him if he hadn't eaten on time at breakfast or supper. She saw him, waved at him and then led her army right up to him.

  "Little Brann, Lord Flufflytail has commanded me to join up with Old Nock, we can chat later, but remember to eat! No more campaigning without food you hear?" Brianna said as she passed to join up with Nock. Brann groaned under his breath as he knew she would pester him about it whenever they met up while out and about.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  The second Champion to emerge from the Tavern, made one wonder how she got into the Tavern in the first place. She was a Thunderbird Harpy, and she was taller than any fortress walls ever made. Her skin was pale, her hair and feathers were white and she had an almost child-like face, though that impression was only because she defaulted to a pout. Her ruby eyes, when one was able to see pass her bangs, where beautiful and eagle-like. She was a waif beauty at a distance, but she wore nothing. Her large and full breasts were tipped with perky nipples. Lightning danced around her body occasionally. Her wings were rather large for a Thunderbird, and her hair almost reached her tail-feathers. She was a Battlemage, a rarity for a harpy species. She was The Roving White Thunderstorm, Mika. She stood taller than one of Brann's Roc Harpies by a good 2 heads.

  She slowly walked over, her army following along as she approached Brann.

  "M .. my ki .. king, I .. I was.. as .. ord .. ered to to serve .. rve alongside you." Mika's voice was quiet for a harpy, Brann had to strain his ears to hear her, and she had a noticeable stutter when she talked. She was a capable leader of armies, her records of the battles of Northpass and the siege of Ovagard were legendary. She had served his family for 8 generations now.

  "I am glad to have you along for the journey, Mika." Brann replied as he made certain to watch where she walked. Her talons were still just as sharp as any other harpy and they were big enough to impale Behemoths.

  There were no further orders form Lord Fluffytail, and so he watched as his and Mika's armies combined into one.

  His orders came after the armies had finished combining, Brann and Mika would claim the Roc Nest while Nock and Brianna took the Cyclopes Cave. It was a 3 day's ride for each. At the end of the today's riding he went and reviewed the resources they had on hand. His Lord had chosen not to build anything today.
