“I am sorry that happened to you. I am just glad I arrived in time.” The last, Andrew said with a slight barb that could be easily heard by Landon who stood just outside the box.
“Don’t be too hard on him. Everyone has to pee. He has been with me for hours today.” Rosin said seriously.
“you could have been seriously hurt, or even kidnapped and he would have never known.” Replied Andrew.
Rosin considered this and simply nodded.
“Dr. Zollan had some great suggestions and I think we will work well together. The plans are all ready for your approval.” She said, brushing off the unpleasantness from before.
“ok, I trust both of your judgments. Are you sure you are ok?” Andrew asked.
Rosin paused to consider, but simply sighed and said, “yes, Andrew. Thank you for your concern. My arm is sore but nothing more. Ho

Location: training ground - Durres When Andrew and Roisin arrived at the site, a shadow peeled away from a wall and approached Andrew. “Sir, a word.” Andrew nodded and stepped away as Roisin headed in with the wolves to begin warming up for the evening. “Sir, it seems the King has sent a special team to Durres, and we have been monitoring them. An Inquisitor and several Praetorian Guard Immunes are here, asking around about the death of the criminal elements of the city. Specifically, they want to know who scrapped Lord Butcher and his brother, the Black Tiger.” “But they were not killed in Durres that I am aware of, or at all for that matter. Have they been killed since they returned to Tiranë?” Ask Andrew. “Yes, my lord, it seems they were killed shortly after they returned, and the criminal elements even here have been stirring. Thus far they have not messed with any of your holdings, so it has not been an issue.”

location: Port Manai Anika turned to Alexa and Keira and said, “today we are going to do some scouting at some of the local martial arts schools. Andrew really wants us to recruit capable people, and those with martial arts training would have a solid foundation to build on.” “Wouldn’t they recognize you, Anika?” asked Keira. Anika paused to consider but replied, “while it is a chance, I believe we can make it work. I have not been to Port Manai before today so unless a veteran from one of my tours is here, it is unlikely. You two are both highly skilled. Perhaps we can send you in as prospective students, and I can watch. I will act like I am unsure about joining.” “OOO! We get to go in undercover?” Asked Keira, excited. “Under covers?” asked Alexa perplexed. Both Keira and Anika busted out in laughter. “Sorry, Alexa. No, not under covers, undercover. It means in disguise.” Explained Anika.

The next day, Keira and Alexa dressed in comfortable workout clothes and headed to the local martial arts school. They each had a gi hidden in a workout bag. Alexa had Anika’s grandmaster gi until her own could be made. She still could not believe Anika had declared her a red grandmaster! In single combat, she had managed to sneak a kill shot on Anika, which had prompted her to grant the red. When they entered the school, several students were warming up. Most were wearing belts that indicated they were at various levels of basic training. Several black belts were walking around instructing the other students. Finally, one of the masters of the school approached and welcomed them to the school. “Hello, ladies! My name is Kyle and I am one of the masters here. Are you looking for some basic self-defense?” Trainer Kyle asked, a bit condescending. “I am not interested in basic training, but yes, I am looking for instruction.” Retorted Keira, alre

After their visit to the martial arts school, Anika decided they would visit the Port Manai garrison. Port Manai was the second-largest city in Placida and an important port for both naval operations and trade with the islands. Dragard maintained a very profitable trade agreement with the island nations near them that had yet to succumb to the empire. Many needed crops and goods only produced in Dragard, and several of the islands had extremely rare imports to offer in trade. Before the war, many of the southern kingdoms and nations had also traded with Placida here. The garrison at Port Manai was a large complex near the coast and had its own naval port as well as advanced training grounds for marines. As they neared the guarded entrance, Anika cursed to herself. “What?” asked Keira. “Well, I didn’t exactly think this through. We should have stopped back by the hotel and changed. None of us are in uniform, and Alexa has an escort entourage with three

“Sir, you asked me to report on the underground movements in Durres,” said Liam over breakfast. “Liam, I am eating but as long as the telling will not disturb my appetite, go ahead.” Replied Andrew as he loaded his fork with more eggs. “It does seem that Landry has been seizing the opportunity presented by the butcher being scrapped at his site to claim power and influence. Some of the gangs chose to avoid him in fear of retaliation from the capital but it seems the capital forces are in their own turf war since the death of the Butcher and his forces and are not in a position yet to reclaim Durres.” “Sounds about right.” Said Andrew around bites of breakfast. “It is notable that Landry seems to have been able to expand rapidly in the last few days with a new financial backer. It seems he may have the official sanction of Ashai.. this could be what the Guard is so interested in. The King may not take kindly to his lord governors sanctioning known crim

Location: Durres- port side Several burly men sat at various tables in a run-down bar near the docks. This was considered Landry’s territory to anyone local, but these men were clearly from the capital. “My lord Rollins, I am sor…” “Don’t use my name, you moron!” said William Rollins in a harsh voice. “Sorry, my, hmm, right. Well, we are not able to do much right now. We were in position when he entered what seems to be a huge training facility. There were hundreds of fighting men there! While we were waiting for him to come out, we saw a squad of Praetorian Guard! Sir, they are in the city asking about the criminal element and named someone called Andrew Landry. If we make a move while they are in town, it could go very bad for you, and all of us, especially if they lump us into whatever it is they are investigating.” “shit! What kind of bullshit is this! Did it seem that Andrew was involved with the Praetorian Guard?” demanded

Port Mani A man looking to be in his early thirties and dressed in an officer uniform spotted Keira, Anika, and Alexa followed by a group of about 15 women heading onto the training ground. “Hey, the women’s grounds are over there!” he shouted. “By whose order are women training separate from the rest of the army?” asked Keira. “By my command! Colonel Richardson. Now stand at proper attention.” Said Colonel Richardson. Keira, Alexa and Anika smirked but decided to play along and see where this would go. They lined up, with Keira standing front and center, in the officer’s spot, as if responsible for this unit of women. Anika and Alexa blended into the back ranks of the small platoon. “Name and Rank soldier. You will be written up for being outside the permissible training zone.” “Macintosh. Colonel Macintosh.” Keira replied. “Right well, Col…” Richardson broke off in mid-sentence as his brain caught up to what he had ju

Durres, moments earlier: Andrew bowed politely to Miss Zolan as stepped out the shop door. Just as he turned the corner and passed an ally, Raya’s mental shout rang in his mind “‘Watch out!’ a second too late. A figure swept a long knife low and from just behind Andrew’s field of view. The blade came fast and before Andrew could fully react, it pierced his side, just below the ribs. The vicious attacker tried to rapidly stab but Andrew managed to spin and deflect the second thrust with his palm. The pain momentarily robbed him of sense and he missed a left hook that connected with his jaw, spinning him into a wall. “Fuck sake!” he shook himself and Raya melded with his mind, numbing his sense of pain. ‘focus. Neutralize, then triage.’ Andrew refocused on his attacker who rushed him and tried to slash him again. ‘Why the hell was he unarmed?’ Andrew thought to himself. He should have something on him. ‘

Andrew led the way as they headed back toward the great hall. “Come, it is time to return to Durres.” As they passed into the grand hall, Alexa let out a shocked squeak as two men grabbed her arms from either side. Anika and Andrew spun back to her and Anika drew a dagger. Conner’s two younger brothers held Alexa. “Lookie what we found. A murderous little bitch.” Lord Devos stepped out of the shadows then with a man that Alexa felt bore a striking resemblance to lieutenant Tannis. “Ah, goddess Anika, you saved me a lot of trouble bringing this traitor to me. I thank you. the Praetorian guard has already been summoned. After all, the death of the son of Senator Palmos cannot hardly be overlooked.” “Lord Governor Devos, you will release Alexa now. If you don’t, you will find I am far more than you can afford to offend.” Andrew said coldly. “Son, don’t play here.” Governor Devos said, snapping his fingers. Twenty home guard stepped out of the shadows and surrounded them. General Ezra

Alexa marveled at the militaristic atmosphere as they entered the palace of Devos Mansion. There were guards stationed at the entrance who bowed respectfully as their badges automatically lifted the gate without the guard needing to activate it.When they arrived at the front doors of the castle, six guards came to the side of the car and stood at attention. They exited the car and Anika led the way into the grand hall.“Seems they might have expected us.” Anika said softly as Alexa took in the numerous guards who lines the alcoves of the grand hall. Many were hidden in shadow and if her keen hearing had not detected their breathing, or the subtle expansion of their chests against taught leather and breast plates, she likely would have assumed they were statues. At the far end, a throne sat empty. A steward stood off to the side and raised his voice.“The Red Dragon, Anika Archeron and company.”Nothing happened, and the room fell eerily silent.“Are the devos not in?” Anika asked A

The ride to Kaibain started out quiet. Alexa stared out the window, lost in thought. The realization that she had killed one of their own soldiers over a stupid argument galled her. Raya joined her thoughts, ‘He pulled a weapon on of god of war. That is tantamount to treason.’ ‘He didn’t know I was a god of war. You only just made that appointment. I don’t wear any insignia, nor am I even in this army.’ ‘Alexa, you are my warrior. You were there under Andrew’s command, with Anika, Nash, and the rest. Everyone of them is a known god of war and every member of the dragon squad outranked that pissant. That is over 1000 soldiers from across the land that are KNOWN to outrank him. no one travels in the company of the gods of war without outranking that traitor. He still chose not only to disrespect you but to pull a weapon on you. He disobeyed a direct order from the supreme commander, and chose to use deadly force on a higher ranking office

Alexa unstrapped her blade and handed it to Andrew. Her wolf, Cole had been his name before he took on the designation of #2, handed over several blades as well. Nash checked the other soldiers to make sure they were not hiding any weapons.Satisfied, Andrew glared at Tannis, but opted to let Alexa fix this herself. “Winner gets the title and honor. Loser is demoted. No weapons. Submission wins. BEGIN!”The word begin had barely left Andrew’s lips when Alexa and Cole exploded. Alexa’s black hair billowed in the wind and she rushed forward, and then Cole powered before Her, arm out stretched. She caught hold of his arm and he swung her, tripling her speed and he added every bit of momentum he could to her flight. Alexa rocketed at the soldiers and flipped into a feet first attack at the last second, crashing into two soldier’s mid sections. They were rendered unconscious as they flew back, smashing into the side of a transport truck, the wi

“Alexa, Raya has bestowed this upon you. You are now officially one of us. As far as the king is concerned.. Meh, he does not need to know. However, I have the ability to now grant you full authority as a god of war. You will not be subject to any authority except mine and Raya’s, and with this rank, you also now have authority second only to mine and the other gods of war.”Alexa blanched, realizing just what was being bestowed upon her. “Are you sure?”“It is not up to me. This is Raya.” He said calmly. “Now, It is time we get back to our own tasks in Durres. There is still plenty left undone there, and sadly we have new business to attend.”Alexa remembered her dead wolves and nodded.“Go ahead and load up. I will be out with Anika shortly.”Alexa headed out, flanked as soon as she left the meeting hall by several wolves who had been waiting outside the doors.When th

Alexa’s eye’s opened to light streaming into her eyes. Pain radiated around her neck. The light moved away and was replaced by Anika’s face.“Lay still, Alexa. Your windpipe is damaged, but you will be fine. Likely just some bruising. Here, I am going to help you swallow this pill.” Anika gently helped her open her mouth, which sent spasms of pain along her jaw. The pill dissolved instantly when it hit her tongue. She closed her eyes as the pill did its work.When she opened her eyes again, it was to the gentle rays of dawn peaking over the lake. They had moved her to the shore and had packed sleeping bags around her. Her neck felt stiff and when she reached up, she felt the rigid frame of a brace around her neck. Anika’s face loomed over head then.“Hey, sleepy head. Don’t try to talk, try squeeze my fingers to answer me.” Anika held out two fingers. Alexa obeyed. “Now, Are you hurting?”A

Howls erupted around her as Alexa’s wolves went battle mad. The sound aroused a spark of consciousness. Raya was screaming in her mind as silverly wings enveloped her mind. Alexa’s eyes flashed with defiance as she reached up and gripped the flat top of bloodbane. Any mortal that tried this would be sliced or simply have the blade moved down out of their grip. Alexa’s grip however, viced onto the blade so tight, its motion toward her neck halted completely.The commander looked at her, shocked. Clearly he had intended on placing the blade flat against his fist and pushing it away from him, across the top of his hand, taking alexa’s head off in the process. He had maneuvered the blade a bit slowly. Perhaps out of caution, knowing its deadly power, or perhaps due to bloodloss. Either way, the blade was now frozen, inches from Alexa’s neck. She still dangled in the air, legs suspended by his massive grip but her defiant eyes were not dying like they

Alexa walked along the cliff face, glancing over her shoulder at the rock debris that covered the cave entrance. Her stomach roiled as she thought about the wolf that she had lost. She vowed to visit his family and ensure Andrew and Anika would take care of the family from now on. Lost in thought she didn’t see the crack in the rock as she passed. The shlick of a crossbow bolt being released had her spinning around and dropping low as she looked for the attacker. Behind her # 26 slumped to the, a bolt protruding from his chest, as red blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. “NO!” she cried, her black blade flashing in her hand. “Down!” she waved at the men behind her and the took cover, but not before several more bolts flew, taking down several more of her men. Carter grunted as a bolt caught him in the gut. “Alert! We are under fire” Alexa barked into her mic. The whole squad rushed in her direction, cautious of the incoming bolts. To her horror,

“For fuck sake that could have gone better.” Anika spat as they set down two injured wolves. Anika sported a slice across her bicep but it didn’t look bad.“The numbers were agaist us. But they needed to be taken out. A unit that size moving around our back door?” Said Nash, appearing out of the dark.Gad materialized next to him, “Question is what now? They know we are here. We are not going to get that kind of surprise again.”Alexa tagged her communicator, “Jackson, can you those with Thermals get a count for us?”“Give us a minute.” Came the reply.“How are our numbers here?” Nash asked, looking around.Alexa grimaced, and started looking for her wolves. “Wolf pack, sound off!”All but one answered. 28 was MIA. Likely dead. “Minor wounds mostly. A few took bolts in that last volley.” She said to Nash.“They have a cav
