Kontia, Brothel.

Nalia of the Yutoi, Lieutenant of the 115th Company.

The air was thick with richly smelling smoke and cloyingly sweet wine that fought against a desperate coating of perfume to cover for sweat and debauchery. Tables were scattered around the dimly lit interior, separated from ea...

Ruby

“Fluffy like nothing else, as if she had mastered the art of being fluffy... if that is a thing.” I explained. As Caitlyn rolled her eyes at me.

“And you are sure? A direwolf.” She asked, again.

“Incredibly sure, she was absolutely gorgeous.” I said with a firm nod as Caitlyn seemed to consider my words.

Kontia.

Warden Nicola Luci.

I had never particularly liked the business of whorehouses or brothels. Perhaps that was hypocritical of me, as all workers sold their bodies in some capacity and what was respectable or degrading was often merely a matter of perspective. But it was an undeniable fact...

Ninth Legion Campsite, North of Kontia.

Antonious, Centurion of the Ninth Legion.

I held the wood, damp still and unready for whittling, but I cut into the flesh even as it was oozing a wet and insubstantial sap regardless. My hands were numb, and despite my belly being full for the first...

Winterfell, ah my beloved, if only for the indoor plumbing alone. It almost made up for the insane weather up here.

Well kinda indoor plumbing, they sorta cheated with the hot spring underground. But it still counted! It was warm enough in Winterfell that in boxes by the main road winding its way thro...

Kontia.

Tanya, Queen of the Tanaoi.

With the Saderans pushed back for now, I had an opportunity to reform and re-organise the battle lines. The Saderans had attacked only a very small part of the defence network, likely spurred on by the explosions from the hostages. That meant that, while the v...

The Reluctant Conquest of Ruby Snow Chapter One

This idea came to me and I have wanted to write for a more light-hearted character for a little bit. This story won't have priority over Barb Queen but I enjoyed writing it and I hope you will enjoy reading it. I was somewhat inspired by all of the Game Of Thrones crossovers that are floating about at the moment.

Hundreds were felled as sling stones were cast out to touch the Imperial lines. But just as quickly, the pace of the Saderan advance slowed and they lifted their shields into a wall. The men at the front were holding them firm, the men at the rear placing the squared shields overhea...

Kontia.

Tanya, Queen of the Tanaoi.

This was the first time I had truly beheld a Saderan legion and not a rapidly-assembled force operating away from the main body of their unit. Even as I looked out from atop the fort hastily constructed upon the Saderan road, the Legion did not resemble a mass of men so much as a sheer tid...

Kontia.

Tanitious, Centurio Primus Pilus.

Zorzal raved at the departing Lepus and the Apostle of Emroy, the latter of which seemed to revel in his fury. I glanced at the First Prince of Sadera and truly wondered just what the man was thinking; he must have known the Apostle had grown weary of him. I held back a sigh, ...

Kontia.

Tanya, Queen of the Tanaoi.

"You will be mine." I stared dumbfounded as the Prince of Sadera took my hand with a smile. I looked at the men he had brought to the parlay. Some had a stoney-faced, impassive expression, others were watching me as if I was a dangerous animal loos...

North of Kontia

Major Lucia, Commander of the 4th Tanaoi Battalion.

The Saderans had settled in just shy of the rapidly constructed trench and enfalade defence line that protected Kontia from the north. Close enough that we could look upon each other, but far enough aw...

Kontia

Tanya, Queen of the Tanaoi

The streets of Kontia quickly filled with almost the entire host of Lepores at the news of the newborn boy, an incredulous act of insubordination that had necessitated me giving direct orders via magically enhanced shouting that everyone was to return to their posts.

We had an entire legion appr...

Sadera

Clad in nondescript clothing, dark greens, browns or greys a small host moved with purpose though the labyrinthine streets and alleyways. They kept a certain distance between each other and did little to draw attention to themselves. But they were not unique, nor were such groups unknown to the people around them.

Kontia

Tanya, Queen of the Tanaoi. 

Earthworks, trenches and defensive mounds were a staple of inter tribe Lepores’ warfare for at the very least, centuries. Digging was an important skill and for a young warrior, a constant activity. While tribal conflicts would happen over hundreds of miles of steppe, the battles themselves would on...

I brought the mallet down on the wooden post and glanced over to Motoko as she did the same roughly thirty metres or so away from me. When both of the posts were secured Rei and Katia, of the Pomi tribe, tied a rope to each of the posts so it only had a small amount of give in it.

Kontia

Tanya, Queen of the Tanaoi

It was good to retire to an actual bed rather than a pile of furs and pillows, that did not mean I had a full night’s rest however. It seemed my husbands were very happy about their new accommodations in the previous governor of Kontia’s palace and wanted to demonstrate that to me.

I slipped out of...

Kontia

Tanya, Queen of the Tanaoi

Kontia had fallen before I had reached the city. That had become clear when the vanguard of the migratory camp reached the City and reported that the gates were open and the populace of the city had been subdued. 

It was a remarkably impressive feat, Enya had managed to take a cit...

Delilah, Lieutenant of the 111th Company

It took some time to organise our sally from the walls and in that time a pitch black night sky had turned to a deep and rich blue even if the earth was still shrouded in darkness. The cool air carried on the wind offered a bracing reprieve from tiredness and looking at ...

Delilah, Lieutenant of the 111th Company

It was frustrating, maddening that my Company had been overlooked for the assault upon the palace. We had likewise been overlooked in the push along the city walls leaving us to do little but guard a gate that no enemy contested. When once I had questioned Enya’s passi...

Nalia of the Yutoi, Lieutenant of the 115th Company.

I hopped in place a few times as Zara listened carefully. She was tall and strong for her age and would be well suited to the battle line if not for the Tanaoi’s baffling restrictions on the age of front line fighters. She moved forwards w...

Enya, Brigadier of the Tanaoi.

Pressure from the City was gone overnight, owed to a mix of me moving all of my forces into the city itself and the appearance of at least two thousand Imperials close to the great Kontia bridge. They were encamped in an abandoned farm perhaps half a mile from the city or so. My ...

Godasen Graci, Imperial Senator, General and Master Mage

Kontia was a miserable sight on the horizon observed with little fanfare from the demoralized men about me. The fields were ravaged, settlements around the City abandoned and a thin plume of black smoke drifted up from behind the walls of the city. It was obviou...

The game had been put aside with the addition of three other guests to entertain with the table hosting a small spread of sweets and drinks as the small crowd slowly warmed up to each other with polite inquiries and small talk.
