The Night Before....

Elena and Trisha were lying on the floor of the bedroom of Krymon. Krymon was sitting on the bed looking at them and smiling. He pulled Trisha's hair and said, "Beauty. Beauty. Beauty. I didn't knew that mortals can be so beautiful." He licked Trisha's face and said smiling, "You even taste beautiful. Now, I'm confused. Should I eat you or fuck you? I think I can do both." He tore Trisha's clothes and was about to fuck her when an orc came running inside and said panting, "Master Krymon. King Tammy is calling you." Krymon threw a dagger in his neck and said, "Next time. Knock on the door." He looked at Trisha and said, "Wait for little while. I will be back." He smiled and spanked her butt and went away. Krymon entered Tammy's room and asked, "What's so urgent that you have to disturb me so late night?"

Tammy said grimly, "Sophia is not her room. After three weeks of not having any food or water, I broke the door and saw that there was no one in the room and all the things were in a mess." Krymon said grimly, "Your wife. Your problem. Why are you troubling me with this?" Tammy said grimly, "Because I need your permission to summon a group of people to go on a search for my wife." Krymon said calmly, "You are the king. Why do you need my permission to do anything? I'm just a guest of the kingdom." Tammy said angrily, "Don't joke, Krymon. There are more orc soldiers in the kingdom than elf soldiers." Krymon asked, "What if she eloped due to your inhumane tortures?" Tammy said grimly, "Yes, a heavily pregnant woman who can barely walk will run away without getting caught." Krymon laughed, "You are a nonsense man, Tammy. If she is so important to you then you should have kept her in your sight and not in some closed room." Tammy said, "She is independent to do anything."

Krymon said grimly, "Okay. If she is independent to stay away then she should be also independent to get lost or die." Tammy said angrily, "You are a headache, Krymon." Krymon said grimly, "Fine. Summon whatever you want as long as you don't disturb me. Especially, at bed times." Krymon went away and Tammy sighed.

Krymon came inside his room and saw that Elena and Trisha were weeping and looking at him with teary eyes. Krymon sighed, "Fine. I will let you two rest for tonight. But, tomorrow night there will be no mercy." He clapped his hands and a small elf came inside and bowed her head. Krymon said, "Dress these two dolls with outmost delicacy." He smiled and went away.

Krymon climbed on the roof of the palace and took out a small sphere out of his cloak and rubbed it gently. After sometime, the sphere started to glow and shake and then a black smoke came outside from the sphere and took the form of a large man. Krymon smiled, "Its been a long time since I summoned you. You have been a perfect assassin for me and also helped me in finding out my enemies. Today, I want you to search out a young woman for me." Krymon gave him a gown which Sophia used to wear and said, "Don't harm her. She is carrying something very special for the kingdom." The black smoke took the gown and slowly advanced upwards in the sky and sniffed the gown. The black silhouette then looked around and sensed the same body odor coming from a distant place. He took the form of a human and landed on the place. He slowly walked towards the place and lots of people eating and drinking and enjoying some local festival.

He looked around and saw a young man slowly walking away towards his room. The black silhouette caught him and then strangled him to death. He then entered his body and merged inside the crowd. He then walked towards the place from where he was getting the odor. He entered the room through the window and started searching for Sophia. He looked around and saw a lady lying on a bed with her legs raised above with slings. He circled around her and then saw the huge baby bump. The black silhouette was unaware of pregnancies or any creation of life in living beings. He poked the belly and felt that something was definitely inside the thing. He tried to pick up her, but she was too heavy for him to pick. The black silhouette looked around and saw a cart outside of the room. He was about to go outside when Elgin called from behind, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" The man turned and said, "Nothing. I was just here to see her. I heard that Sophia was here so I came." Elgin said, "But it still doesn't answer my question. I want to know your identity." The man giggled, "Come on, friend. I just a couple of houses away from here. I still recall meeting you." Elgin said coldly, "No, I don't recall any meet with you." The guy said, "Many say that too. Actually, my whole day goes working and then I come late night. People usually forget meeting me."

Elgin came near him and said, "I want to know your name." The guy said, "Efhan." Elgin said, "Efhan. I think I have heard this name somewhere before." The guy said, "Yes. Actually, my parents named me after the legendary archer, Efhan. There is also a statue of him in Orc Valley." Elgin said, "Orc Valley? Why did your parents named you after an evil and lousy person? Efhan was doomed to suffer and work as a servant for his nefarious deeds." The guy hid his anger and said, "I can't say any more of him than what I have heard about him from my parents." Elgin said, "Okay. Let's go outside and have a drink. Efhan." They both went outside and sat at a tavern. Elgin looked at Efhan and said, "Someday, someone will name their son after me and I will be long gone to hear any praise or appreciation." Efhan asked, "What do you mean, friend?" Elgin smiled, "Never mind. I will not bore you with my sad and gloomy tales. Today, is a night of celebration and joy. The elves are dancing in joy and singing carols, because they know that tomorrow there will be a war and the good will eliminate the evil forever and bring back the old and lost glory and happiness to the kingdom. Krymon will die, Tammy and Jammy will be punished and someone new will become the king. Everything will be sorted. But, one thing will still remain messed."

Efhan asked, "What will remain messed?" Elgin smiled, "Sophia. That poor lady will live with a life of shame and disgrace. A slut's daughter, a traitor's wife and now a whore herself." Efhan asked, "What do you mean?" Elgin smiled, "Nothing, brother. Just a game of destiny." Efhan said, "You are too drunk to even properly say anything, friend. Let me take you to your home." Elgin smiled, "The whole kingdom is my home. I will be the king. The king." Elgin felled unconscious and Efhan looked at him and sighed, "What a pathetic waste!" He slowly walked towards Sophia, but saw that she was not there and he couldn't find her anymore as her body odor diminished. He looked around and sighed. He slowly left the body and then flew towards the sky.

The black silhouette landed on the floor of Krymon's bedroom and saw Elena and Trisha sleeping quietly on his bed. The black silhouette looked around and saw Krymon was bathing. He walked towards Elena and Trisha and touched their skin. He lightly spanked their butts and then knocked on Krymon's door. Krymon came outside and saw Efhan was standing there silently. Krymon asked, "Sophia?" Efhan nodded in disapproval. Krymon sighed, "Why does it has to happen now?" Efhan looked around and saw a guard standing outside. He quickly went and killed him and entered his body. Efhan asked, "Why is she so special to you?" Krymon said, "You shouldn't kill anyone like this. He was my best soldier." Efhan said, "I thought I was the best." Krymon said, "Sophia is Tammy's wife and is currently pregnant with his kids. I shouldn't be pessimistic but I don't think Tammy will make it alive in the war. In that case, I want his kids in my domain and make them dangerous weapons. But, now his wife is missing and his kids are still inside her." Efhan said, "I think there is some mystery around Sophia." Krymon asked, "What do you mean?"

Efhan said, "I met a drunk fool and he claims that Sophia is a whore. If that is true, something is fishy about her kids too." Krymon laughed, "I care whether she is a whore or not. I just care about the babies forming inside her." Efhan said, "What if the babies isn't Tammy's? I think there must be something that we cannot see right now." Krymon said grimly, "Even if the babies isn't Tammy's, I still want Sophia near me. She is a very valuable person." Efhan looked at Elena and Trisha and said, "So, they are your night's delight." Krymon laughed, "No, they are not whores. They are my hostages and I was thinking of having some fun with them." Efhan asked, "Can I have some fun too?" Krymon said grimly, "Definitely not. Tomorrow is going to be a very tough day and I don't want any loose ends." Efhan sighed and walked away.

Alice went inside the room and saw Aliyah was sharpening a blade on the edge of a rock. Alice asked, "So, what's your plan?" Aliyah turned around and gave Alice an angry look, "I told you earlier that Hilda will create problems for us and now she has only proved me more right." Alice said, "Okay. You are right, Aliyah. But, for God's sake stop boring me with the same sentences." Aliyah put the dagger inside the sheath and said grimly, "Listen, Alice. I can't say much thing as you are quite young and haven't seen much world. People like Hilda are what the wise call 'treacherous' and staying a distance away from them is always the best option. I have Hilda way more than you and I can assure you that she has many ulterior motives which would be unsatisfactory for us. Her bad blood towards Krymon is the only thing that has binded her with us and her asking for the reincarnation of the Purple Mace has only kindled my suspicion more."

Alice said annoyed, "Okay. We will not trust Hilda and stay away from her and will only help from my limit of contact. Happy? Now, can we discuss the war plan for tomorrow?" Aliyah said grimly, "Open battle with them will be harmful. So, we will use guerilla warfare and try to weaken the force from inside. I can say how much people will raise their voice against Tammy and Krymon? But, one thing is sure that they will react in one way or another. Aliyah and I will attack from the north side of the palace and hopefully try to release Elgin from the cell. With Elgin's help, we will be able to control half of the infantrymen and the cavalry. The orcs are dangerous and fight very dirty, so we will try to keep contact fighting with them as minimal as possible. When things started to get inside the palace, we will take out the spear and create a defensive shield around us.

Krymon has the power of necromancy and will try to attack us with the dead soldiers and for that we have to break the purple bead around his neck. Elgin will be not alone in this fight as I have called for an old friend, my childhood friend and a powerful witch now, Vexana. She will use her rainbow magic to create reflections of us to confuse Krymon and it will act as an opposing for us to strike him. Tammy will summon his corrupt mercenaries for us and that part will be decided in the moment. Power respects power. So, we have to keep our winning probabilities higher, so that the people having second thoughts will come to our side.

The maesters of the Royal Council will provide us with the neccessary aids and medications to keep minor injuries from weakening us. The Royal Army is a very powerful army and their commander Lysander Wither will try to save his brother in law at any cost. Hilda is a powerful warrior and her brutal fighting tactics will provide us with an outlet in the war, but relying on her too much will be foolish. Our main objective will be saving Elena and Trisha, but that will only be possible if Krymon and Tammy are defeated."

Alice said, "That's a good plan. But, the palace is too big and mysterious and defensive fighting would be impossible from all sides. I think we should start from the roof of the building with air strikes. It will be an element of suprise while Hilda acts as a decoy with Vexana." Aliyah smiled, "A sandwich tactic. You surely are learning the tricks quickly and that's a good sign." Alice smiled, "The only small problem still remains is the huge bloodshed that going to happen." Aliyah smiled, "Don't worry. I will have that part doubled."....
