The cadets new orders

The morning has come with a light morning dew seeping in the window and my wounds from the day prior nearly healed I was ready for anything. Waking yumi I told her I was off to the academy to issue the troops their new orders. "then I shall go with you or have you forgotten already I won't let you out of my sight again." Yumi said.

Together we got dressed and prepared for the day ahead there was no rush the sun was only just beginning to rise over the tree line and I was not expected until noon. Headed out the door Yumi expressed her concern about the way I led my life always charging off into battle head first without thinking about the consequences of my actions.

She asked me "what would you have me do if you where to fall in the line of duty" to this I replied "You should do what any other grieving widow would do mourn for your loss and find another lover" now with an awkward silence we walked to the training grounds where the cadets where waiting for me to issue their orders.

Arriving at the training grounds all the cadets lined up in formation and saluted their arriving commander. The cadets looked anxious to carry out their duties as I walked to the front of the line I could see a twinkle of excitement in their eyes.

Reaching my position at the head I spoke out in a loud voice "You have all become warriors and your mission will be hard from here on out however, I have faith that you will complete the tasks I set before you" The cadets all looked up at me waiting for me to give their orders.

"We have established a new outpost in rope isle. Your mission will be to defend this outpost with your lives if necessary. If we lose this resource our neosteam supplies will be rationed back yet again, and we will be forced to cease production on our steamriders" The cadets looked a little bewildered as they had never been to rope isle.

"The Defenders of Elerd will head this mission and lead you to this new outpost where you will remain until further notice please meet up at the zeplyn docks" While the troops made their preparations I called the members of D.o.E. who would be heading up this mission for a briefing.

"I will be traveling out with you to the outpost however I have another mission to see to it is of the highest importance that you keep these troops safe from harm and prevent any rogwel infiltration to this outpost. I cannot give you the details of my current mission I can only say that I will not be far" Valeska,Sade,Shany,CrownedClown,Erikalei and Etern nodded their heads in a display that they understood.

The troops gathered at the docks and it was time to make our way back to rope isle. As we all began bording the zeplyns together. You could hear the clatter of a hundred zeplyns all firing off their engines at once. Soon we took to the sky's in such a great number that the sun itself had been blotted out by a dark cloud looming over Nasdaim and like a flash we where off to rope isle the land of the crom and refuge to those seeking the energy source NeoSteam.

Arriving in Tranquility refuge We disembarked from the zeplyns and made our way to the nearby steam balloons. If we where to get to the outpost unnoticed we would have to travel quietly and the steam balloons offered a much more silent approach then the zeplyns ever could.

Soaring through the air, balloon after balloon all in line flew over the mountainous regions and off to negotiation town. Arriving in negotiation town and waiting for the remaining troops to land their balloons We lined up in formation with me and the other members of DoE at the head.
We had a short march ahead of us but we would get there soon enough.

Everyone having arrived and finding their place in the formation we marched north east we needed to capture the land currently owned by "The Followers of Rupia" A cult derived from rogwel culture bent on the destruction of Elerd. Around the platue then south through the mountains we traveled up the side of a steep slope where the followers had made their home.
Like a thousand beating drums our footstep echoed through the mountainous Trails we where almost there.

"Ready yourselves" I said to the troops. "These beasts are no longer ordinary Rogwel people they have formed a Cult bent on our destruction and we must root out this Evil before we proceed.

With the men ready we charged forward into the nest of the Followers of Rupia And began our assault. Grabbing a spear I taunted a great number of the Rupias finest warriors luring them back into a corner I slaughtered them all with one Fatal swipe of my spear.

Yumi summoned forth her giant saber and unleashed it upon the Rupian guards while Etern went into clarity to find the general The troops met the followers in single armed combat taking them down one by one Valeska with her spear summoned forth an eerie light and halved the attack sped of the entire rupian militia then with 3 fatal strokes lain the entire militia in pieces on the ground.

Etern having found the general quickly disarmed him breaking his blade in two while myself and valeska continued to fight off the followers. CrownedClown took on clarity sneaking up behin the general he pierced his blade right through the generals heart. With this the followers of rupia retreated further back into the sanctuary of their land to defend their leader.

Moving south now cross the bridge we came across another set of guards Shany summing forth her Sabre proclaimed "I will take care of these you should continue forth to the leader!" with that we proceeded into the next chamber only to be met by some form of fierce mutated plants that the Followers had created through their experiments with Neosteam.

"Be on your guard" I said "We don't know what these creatures are capable of" and as I finished that sentence the creatures charged me. An awry glow emanated from their tenticles as I began feeling some what sluggish. They had cast some sort of spell on me.

"Watch out men" I proclaimed "These creatures have some strange ability Be cautious in your attack!" I cast my spell of tough skin upon myself to withstand the attack but it wasn't enough somthing had to be done. Just then Yumi cast her healing magic and sade cured the spell they cast upon me. With my strength back I grabbed my spear and sliced the group in two.

"Let us move on to the leaders chamber" I said, and we moved east across yet another bridge Shany's summon was beginning to fade so we stood fast upon the bridge in wait for our final attack against the rupians. "Don't charge in head first like you always do!" Shany said to me "let us take care of the followers and make our way to the head as a unit!" Clown chimed in. "ok are we ready to move on?" I ask the unit as they make their last preparations for the final attack.

"Yes Sir" I hear in unison from the platoon. "Then let us make our way into the heart of the enemy now!" I yelled out and without a moments notice we charged the Followers of Rupia Clown and Etern going into clarity made their way through the hordes of followers and found their target the leader of the rupia!

While me Shany, Valeska, Yumi and sade slaughtered the leaders guard. The screams of the rupians could be heard echoing off the mountains walls As we forced our way through them severed limbs and blood spread about the floor Etern and Clown waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

"Now!" I shouted to Clown and Etern as we approached the leader and like the fleeting glimpse of a score of lightning through the sky Etern and Clown appeared on each side of the leader slicing her staff in two and shredding her Protective robe. "She is open!" Shouted clown " I can see that and not a bad sight I must say!" I shouted back and with that I plunged my spear deep into the chest of that treacherous wench bringing an end to the Followers of Rupia.

"Ah finished at last." I said with a sigh of relief now we shall make our way to the stairs of eternity where once stood a tower of stairs said to lead to the heavens themselves for there is an abundance of neosteam coming from the very ground in the center of these ruins.

With relief that we had made it through this without one lost life we made our way back to the stairs of eternity to setup camp for the night. "honey how long till the tents setup?" Yumi chimed in as I put up our tent for the night "not long sweetheart we shall be resting our weary heads soon enough" I replied.

Sade and shany where chattering in the background I could make out a few points in their conversation "What does he see in her?" Shany asked Sade "I don't know but I wish he saw it in me" Sade replied. Finishing up my tent for the night Sade came over to me it seemed she had forgot to pack a Tent and she wanted to share mine.

"Not a chance!" yumi chimed in but since this seemed like an innocent enough request to me I granted sades request much to Yumi's dismay. The three of us lay down to rest that nigh Sade spoke up "I'm sorry but I sleep in the nude would you mind assisting me with this skirt Yumi"

Yumi reluctantly made her way over to sade and helped her get out of her tight clothes suddenly Sade grabbed Yumi and kissed her deeply surprised and aroused I jumped out of bed forgetting I had nothing on now standing there exposed in front of both of these women I felt a little embarrassed and began to blush "it's okay honey your welcome to join us if you like." Sade said.

Skeptical of the situation I found myself in I made my way across the tent to where yumi and sade lay completely exposed. Sade grabbed me kissing me passionately enough that Yumi got jealous, Yumi in a retaliatory manner kissed me as if to tempt sade to try and compete, Then Sade Began to run her hands across my skin rubbing me up and down as goosbumps came over my skin it was incredibly arousing. Now yumi massaging my back as I lay there in a heavenly bliss These 2 beautifull women competing for my affection.

To my sences I came rather sudenly and to their dismay I grabbed their hands "We cannot do this now for I have to wake early on the morrow." I said Yumi and Sade both looking at me with a saddend expression in their eyes agreed we should be resting and lain down with me one in each arm and off to sleep we went untill morn.
