“Don’t tell me you haven’t done anything since Xona,” Luna breathed in surprise. Miranda sprung her leg and planted her heel into Luna’s face. The kick sent Luna flying off the bed.
“I told you I haven’t been a good girl,” Miranda smirked.
“I will so make you regret drinking that potion,” Luna sneered and prowled toward Miranda. She pounced on her, dodged the legs, but ate a side-hand strike in the face that knocked her to the side of the bed.
“Trouble getting into the bed? I guess I will need to get you an assistant to guide you,” Miranda snickered.
“You...” Luna started to boil up. She leaped to her feet and charged at Miranda. Miranda spun on the bed, dodged the attack and sent Luna flying backward with a strong kick in her midsection.
“Are you even trying? I saw a grandmother turtle moving faster,” Miranda poked.
Luna tried to stay calm, but it was becoming harder and harder as Miranda kept preventing her from getting to the bed over and over again.
“Oh, come on now, is this how little you want me? I am almost getting insulted!” Miranda exclaimed.
“GGGRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH!” Luna snarled and charged. The number of angles from which Miranda could throw attacks in the bed was astonishing. Luna put her guard up and powered through it. Finally, she caught Miranda’s hand. Miranda kicked her in the face, but Luna shrugged it off and pushed forward. Miranda tried to swipe her legs, but Luna caught her second hand. Miranda sprung her body up, but Luna caught it with her legs and pushed it down. She was now sitting on Miranda while holding her hands above her head. Miranda struggled, but couldn’t get out.
“You shit-stained cunt! Are you seriously holding me down with one hand?” Miranda exclaimed.
“I am awesome and I know it,” Luna smiled poisonously. Luna went on to hold Miranda down with her left and searched the box under the bed with her right hand. She smiled viciously when she found what she sought.
“Want to know another awesome fact? I know how to tie people up so they can’t get out of it,” Luna announced.
“I am sure all penguins of the north are terrified of your skills,” Miranda mocked her. Luna pushed Miranda’s arms behind her back and used the black leathery rope she found to tie her elbows together. Luna went on to tie together the full length of her elbows all the way to wrists, tied her thumbs together and the other fingers to each other.
“Now, why don’t you show me you can do better than the penguins?” Luna smiled into Miranda’s face and kissed her strongly. Miranda instantly started to get herself out of the binds. Luna latched closely onto her and enjoyed every smallest twitch of muscle Miranda made. It felt beyond glorious.
“You don’t seem to be making much progress,” Luna asked after half an hour.
“You little shit…” Miranda started.
“You should send the penguins a letter… maybe they will give you some hints,” Luna smirked and slowly slid down Miranda’s body like a snake.
“Why don’t you spread out a bit, I am hungry.”
Miranda obeyed and spread her legs to the point where her knees were horizontal to her crotch. She pushed the knees down, making the center rise up. Luna placed her hands softly on her inner thighs. She licked her lips and got to work.
“You are seriously unbelievable,” Luna exhaled as she lay on Miranda. They and the bed were drenched in sweat. “I have been teasing you the whole night and day, yet you look like you are having the best time of your life,” Luna breathed heavily.
“What makes you think that, sweetling?” Miranda purred with a huge happy grin on her face.
“Just seeing you… really though, a normal woman would have gone crazy from this sometime afternoon. Instead, you went on to encourage me to keep going harder,” Luna remarked.
“We all have things we like,” Miranda stated.
“What do you like so much about it?” Luna pried.
“You first,” Miranda retorted.
“Feeling your muscles clench and writhe, hearing your frustrated moans, feeling the rapid breath and soft spasms… aaaaahhhhh… just thinking about it makes me go wild,” Luna explained.
“I had someone before. Her name was Elaine Darkscream; she was the strongest of the Darkscream clan and my close contemporary. We grew up together, spent decades living next to each other. Over the time, we did everything we could imagine together… including this. She was always so good on top,” Miranda revealed.
“What happened? I mean, why did you leave her? Is she alright?” Luna inquired softly.
“We had a different dream. Us Faye are said to be born of dreams of our Goddess. Mine was the dream of freedom; hers wasn’t. I… didn’t like how the Faye changed. All these rules and laws and matrons and war leaders and ranks… it felt wrong. I don’t know how to explain it, but I felt like I either have to change it or leave. I never wanted to fight my sisters… I didn’t want to fight Elaine… so here I am,” Miranda explained.
“Isn’t joining an army a direct opposite of freedom?” Luna probed in surprise.
“Look around, does it feel like I am bound to something? Yea, we have missions, but we can refuse them. We have duties, but can mostly ignore or delegate them… over the time I have been here, nobody ever even tried to force me into anything. On top of that, I really like what the Palai Order stands and fights for. I myself was at a release of over hundred and forty thousand hostages or captives over my time here. Every time I think of that, it fills me with satisfaction… it makes me feel that I live my life the right way,” Miranda responded.
“You really are a hero,” Luna exclaimed.
“I don’t feel like one,” Miranda admitted.
“I think that’s a big part of it.... selflessness is not something one can put up as a goal. Thinking back, you do this thing often, don’t you? I mean, how you jumped among the monsters to save me, you have done this a lot of time haven’t you?” Luna pressed.
“That’s just because I can. In these situations, people can’t get there in time because they would have to fight their way through the enemies. I can teleport, I can get there instantly,” Miranda explained.
“That doesn’t make it any less heroic or amazing. How does it work, anyway? I have seen some people doing or well, trying teleportation before but nobody came even close to what you are doing.”
“Teleportation isn’t a precise way to describe it. I call it a dream jump. I push my body into the Dream World, then immediately exit somewhere else nearby. The short ones are instantaneous and I can do them almost infinitely. Longer ones require some thought but are also relatively fast, the really long ones, well, I can’t do those very often,” Miranda breathed.
“How do you aim it? I mean, I always use my own body to aim my way back from the Dream World,” Luna contested.
“So, you do know how to get out of it,” Miranda chuckled.
“James taught me how to maintain the defenses around my dream pocket, so my memories are protected from being spied upon,” Luna revealed.
“That explains how you got top class defenses in there… James really knows his way around, doesn’t he?” Miranda pried.
“You can’t imagine. Anyway, how do you aim it?” Luna spun back to the original topic.
“I set up marks around before I jump, then return to those marks. Items work the same way, I mark them, then move them to me. Otherwise, it’s a lot of math. I calculate the angle, distance and relative spin to teleport on larger distances.”
“Relative spin?”
“Real world and Dream World both spin in the same direction, but with fluctuating speeds. That’s why it is so hard to get back from the Dream World. There is a pattern to it though, once you know the pattern the rest is simple algebra,” Miranda explained.
“Huh… how’d you figure out all that? James forced me to learn mathematics and I have hated him for it passionately… I just never imagined it could be used in combat,” Luna asked.
“I found a lot of book
s on mathematics and how to use it to calculate relative positions between Dream World and real world in my dream pocket… I never figured out why,” Miranda realized.
“Talking about figuring things out… how do you use your weapon? I noticed that it doesn’t move how it should when you fight… I mean, it’s like the weapon moves by itself while you barely hold it,” Luna remarked.
“Scitalis… it’s a shard weapon. There is a shard of a soul of a powerful being sealed within it, I just activate it and let it fight how it wants,” Miranda replied.
“How do you activate it?”
“There is a phrase to it; it's like an incantation… I think that phrase and the weapon will wake up.”
“How do you find that phrase?” Luna pried.
“You are asking almost like you had a shard weapon,” Miranda observed.
Luna flicked her wrist and a long elegant black sword appeared in it.
“That’s because I do,” Luna smirked.
“Now that’s a pretty one… it’s totally wasted on you, but ah well, you can at least use it as an accessory. About the phrase, I have no idea. I found Scitalis embedded into a tree and the tree had the phrase carved into it,” Miranda admitted.
“Meh… back to the teleportation. You said you use marks to target it. Have you put a mark on me?” Luna tossed up as she made the sword disappear.
“Straight above the love hole,” Miranda grinned.
“You…” Luna sneered and went on to kiss Miranda passionately.
“Anyway. We have last night for a long time; I am sure your masturbation box hides some toy you would like me to use on you,” Luna went for the transition to the original activity.
“Like I would tell you. Sniff it out yourself, you retarded runt,” Miranda smirked.
“You either tell me or we finish like this and go to sleep. I will turn off the toy in your ass, untie you and go back to our team house to have some nice sleep,” Luna stated her threat.
“That’s blackmail,” Miranda evaluated.
“Yes, it is,” Luna confirmed.
“Bottom left corner, there is a double ended dildo with straps,” Miranda blushed.
Luna went to search and found it. Luna went on to attach it to herself. Her entire body roared in pleasure as it finally got something inserted where it counts the most.
“What’s the story of this one?” Luna asked.
Miranda’s mouth tightened and her face turned bright red from embarrassment.
“SPEAK!” Luna ordered her.
“After my first year and the Palai Order, I got a huge bonus. I took that bonus and all money I had and went to Hungry Daisy. I spent it down to the last coin to get myself this one. I took it for the next time I meet Elaine… it’s been lying in that box ever since,” Miranda admitted awkwardly.
“Don’t you have some stories that aren’t painfully sad? Now I feel really bad about putting it on,” Luna asked with a troubled face.
“I am sorry for pushing this onto you… I just… need to move on. It’s been over thirty years since I had seen Elaine… I need to get over it. I need to prepare for the fact that next time we meet, we will likely be enemies,” Miranda conceded.
“You really are a sweet one… aren’t you?” Luna whispered softly before she went for a strong kiss.

Nashimaeal
“Nash, I need some very private and very urgent help,” Miranda ambushed the archbishop as they reunited with his unit the next day.
“Of course, what is wrong?” he motioned Miranda into his tent. Miranda went in, closed the curtains, pulled down her pants and sat down on the chair, spreading her legs wide.
“I need you to fix this,” she pointed at her crotch.
Nashimaeal turned red and awkwardly asked: “What exactly is the problem?”
“We got a bit too passionate last night and I think my pussy is torn. It hurts like hell.”
Nashimaeal visibly calmed down and sat down on a chair in front of her. He went to hover his hand over Miranda’s crotch and started analyzing it with his magic.
“I am glad to see you found yourself someone,” Nashimaeal breathed, “shall I fix the scars on your back as well?”
“Nah, I wanna keep those,” Miranda blushed, “there are some things between girls you men can’t understand.”
“Anyway, on the other hand, I heard that Lucas poisoned the entire water supply of Redwall, you burned down a quarter of the city and Merewen caused a drought by evaporating all moisture in a hundred-mile radius,” he stated seriously.
Miranda smiled awkwardly and nodded.
“Do you have anything to say in your defense?” Nashimaeal pressed while he switched his magic to start the actual healing.
“Saying that Illysaeas will not be better is not a good excuse, is it?” Miranda tossed up.
Nashimaeal sighed.
“That’s the last thing I wanted to hear.”
“Nash, I need some very private and very urgent help,” Merewen entered the archbishop’s tent minutes after Miranda left.
“I have heard this line before… come on in,” the archbishop motioned her to enter.
“This is beyond awkward,” Nashimaeal evaluated as he checked Meweren.
“Do not ask me how I got these wounds… I just really need my rear fixed,” she breathed awkwardly
“I do not need to. Have no worry, while it might seem terrifying, it isn’t anything I cannot fix. I can also solve all the other wounds and marks, just relax and let me work,” he reassured her.
“Thank you,” Merewen breathed.
“LUCAAAAAAAAS!” archbishop’s voice thundered through the caverns as he entered Lucas’ quarters.
Silence was his only answer. Nashimaeal focused and his magic erupted through the mountain. It found Lucas in one of the back caverns.
“You are right to be hiding!” he exclaimed as he saw Lucas. He was lying on a bed of leaves, wrapped around in ointment soaked bandages. “Did you seriously have sex with Merewen?”
“Perhaps,” Lucas didn’t budge.
“Then you sure won’t mind if I check,” Nashimaeal took a seat next to Lucas and let his magic run its course, “what do we have here… massive widespread burns concentrated around intimate areas, burn marks that fit whips, cuffs, collar and I don’t want to know about your rear end. The only present person capable of inflicting these wounds is Merewen… what a coincidence that she came to me with similar wounds earlier today. Are you seriously fucking your own general? I thought we had some standards, Lucas!”
“Look, I am sorry! I have no idea how this happened!” Lucas exclaimed while throwing up his hands.
“As a member of the leadership of the operation, I need to express my concern over you putting your and her health at risk in your romantic escapades.”
“There is nothing romantic between Merewen and I…”
“Let me finish,” Nashimaeal cut Lucas off.
“Okay, okay… sorry.”
“As the head of the Palai clergy, I feel alarmed of the blatant unprofessionalism at our military leadership, potential corruption and nepotism.”
“I am not giving her any favors!"
“Lucas!”
“Sorry….”
“Yet right now, at least for the time being, I will let these things be. For now, as your friend, I want to know how. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”
“Huh?”
“Don’t play stupid Lucas! MEREWEN? SERIOUSLY?”
“Look I don’t know… it just happened?”
“How? She accidentally fell out of her armor straight into your bed? Can’t you at least do it normally?”
“We do it normally most of the time, just now we had too much free time and she wanted to play rough!”
“Are you telling me here it isn’t the first time?”
“Ehhh.”
“LUCAS! Since when?”
“Grimdawn?”
“BY THE HEAVENS! She is barely adult!”
“You don’t know? How old do you think she is?”
“She said she was in the army for thirteen years when I named her general… so forty plus?”
“Oh, come on, Lucas… do you seriously not check people you promote? You? The guy who spends every sleeping second spying on people through Dream World? She is a war orphan picked up on the battlefield at the age of four.”
“Are you telling me I named a seventeen-year-old girl a general?”
“Yes, you did.”
“Well, whatever. She’s been doing fine these past six years, so the promotion was well placed,” Lucas smiled with satisfaction.
“THAT’S NOT THE POINT! This needs to end, Lucas!”
“I can’t do that now, we are in the middle of a war,” he protested.
“You will when it is done. Promise me that, Lucas! This is beyond wrong!”
Lucas closed his eyes and sighed. “You are right.”

Raven
Raven was still freezing from the backlash, but it was time to move. Time to go home. He carefully packed his things and the package that contained the remains of Nibbles.
I am sorry, my friend, we have one more trip ahead of us.
Raven got up with a groan and unlocked the door.
“Oh God, finally! I was really worried about you,” Samantha exhaled in relief. She stood opposite of the door. She has apparently been waiting here for a long time.
“I am sorry to make you worried, Sam. I just... needed some time alone,” Raven smiled weakly. Samantha went to support him from under his shoulder and helped him get to where the convoy was being prepared. There was just prince Stallington and his servants there.
“Did you really have to beat up your own team?” the prince asked Raven straight as he saw him.
“Yeah,” Raven confirmed.
“Whatever. Finubar packed his team and they all left. Luna is nowhere to be found, so it’s just us. I have, once again, prepared a great horse for you to ride home… but I guess it was futile again, wasn’t it?”
