Parting Waves

Osa rides on the back of the dragon as they fly high up in the air, but well below the clouds. Osa is able to see farms and all the towns that have been occupied by Orangemen. She also notices several large encampments out in the far reaches of her vision. She guesses that those are supply points for forces that have travelled out beyond the boarders of Prince Rindell's nation.

After several hours of flying, with the later half close to the trees to help conceal their approach, Osa had the dragon land in a clearing in the woods several minutes walk outside the town of Brinkham, then walks the rest of the way.

As Osa exits the woods on the edge of town, she is met by a pair of threatening men wearing thick fur hides and carrying a battle ax, a war ax, and a throwing ax. They recognize her from the stories that John and Amy have told. Apologizing, the two men escort her to the edge of town and return to their patrols.

Once in town, Osa vaguely remembers where things are and heads to the Mayors building in hopes to find John and Becka. Becka answers the door to her fathers office, as she acts as his assistant, then hugs Osa and says, "come inside." Osa explains to Becka and her father, the mayor, her plan to have the dragon to attack the Orangemen, but she is going to need Amy with her, while John gets people around this area prepared to join her forces when they arrive.

Becka takes Osa to the house where John and her live, on the edge of town. Becka brews Osa some tea before returning to her fathers office, leaving Osa to wait. Osa doesn't have to wait very long, she managed only to drink half the tea when John and Amy arrive. They hug and give each other quick kisses before Osa tells her story and lays out the plan. When she is done with the details, Osa says, "I would Amy to go back with me to the ship?" Before Amy can agree, Osa tells them, "Just so you know, I flew in on a dragon and it is waiting in the woods not far from here."

Amy and John sit amazed at the idea for a moment before Amy asks, "can I see it?" Osa tells Amy, "You can do more than see it, you are going to ride on its back as we fly to where the town we are using as a launch point." Even as Amy gets excited, John gets worried and begins to fuss about how much of a bad idea he thinks getting close to a dragon is. Osa reassures John, "I made a bargain with the dragon so that is not dangerous to us, but he will be dangerous to Prince Rindell and his Orangeman army."

Amy is so excited to see the dragon, Osa has to remind her to pack all the things she will need to a battle. Osa leads Amy and John to the clearing where she left the dragon. When they get there, they find the dragon sleeping, and the antlers and legs of three deer scattered around the clearing. The dragon opens one eye and looks at them. Osa asks the dragon, "Did you enjoyed your snack?" and the dragons rolls his head slightly, almost as if shrugging.

Osa walks over to the base of the dragons neck and climbs up, then motions for Amy to join her saying, "Climb up and hold on tight, " and extends her hand. While Amy is climbing up behind Osa, John steps back to the edge of the clearing. The dragon rears up on its hind legs, extends its wings, leaps up and flaps down, shooting up into the air with a sudden jolt, followed by a half dozen jerking flaps before the dragon levels out and begins a more smooth gliding flight.

Several hours later, the sun has set and light of day is fading as the dragon lands on the secluded harbor beach. Osa and Amy climb off as and says, "So, wait, you fucked the dragon and got pregnant. And are holding on to his egg." Glancing back between the dragon's legs any asks, "Does he have a big cock? Cause I can't tell." Osa grins are Amy and replies, "It's my egg, too. And he's monstrously huge. Longer and thicker than my arm. He couldn't even get half of it in me. If you ask nicely, he may let you try it some time." Amy blushes and mumbles so only Osa can hear, "I'd love that." With that they walk into the command tent.

Osa quickly says, "Everybody, this is the druid I told you about, her name is Amy. Amy this is our command staff. Captain Vulkarias is commander of our marine forces, my older brother Adunbi is commander of our land forces and uses earth magic, his wife Quivina is leader of the archery unit, and my younger sister Ekina is my assistant and uses air magic. Plus me, as you can use water magic but I have also developed a knack for fire magic. You will be with me and Ekina, serving as one of my assistants. Ranger John and his forces will also join us when we get back to him. John will take over as leader of the ground forces, but Adunbi will remain in command coordinating Quivina and John. The reason I needed Amy here is, I want Ekina to lead the Dragon to attack the Orange Army supply lines and encampments that are not in towns, I seen a few when I was flying to get Amy so I have to guess there are more I haven't seen. Also, I need for Amy to use her plants to come up with a way to control and command the Beast man."

Vulkarias says, "I'm going to take my ship and head up the coast line. I'll liberate the coastal villages and cut off the secondary supply chain and recruit more fighters. When I get as far north as I can, I'll lead my forces to a rally point and wait for the rest of you to join us."

Adunbi speaks up, "There are four major villages in the area, and several smaller ones. I'm going to lead the ground troupes to this first one, Quivina will take the archers to the far one, while Osa, Amy, and the beast man head for your home town and collect John and his forces. Then we will converge at the northern most village. From there we will make plans on how to best move on from there."

Pointing at the map Amy says, "There is a castle of a minor lord back this way. It's probably part of the supply chain and would have a decent size armoury and pantry to supply troops from. We may even be able to pick up some decent war horses. I know it's a bit of a back track, but the extra supplies would help."

Ekina asks, "How am I suppose to lead this dragon into doing anything?"

Osa points at her amulet, "You will lead him as another, bigger dragon. You can use your air magic as a breath weapon. Amy and I will look after your eagle while your are out there."

Quivina speaks up, "How will I communicate to the locals?"

Osa says, "Here, take my necklace of interpretation. I can speak enough of Amy's language to get by."

Vulkarias says, "I'll lave early tomorrow morning, under cover of dark."

Adunbi adds in, "Then the rest of us will move out after sun rise."

Vulkarias replies, "Good. Its settled then. Rest tonight and be marry, as it may be our last chance."

As they leave, Amy whispers to Osa, "Your brother has big muscles, and he looks like a boy version of you. He's hot."

Osa grins and says, "If you think his muscles are nice, you should see his big muscle." Amy watches as Osa walks down to the beach, and joins Vulkarias, in a small row boat going towards the ship, parked out in the bay.

Thanking about what Osa said, Amy decides to go find Adumbi. It's doesn't take long to locate him near the tents of the soldiers. She listens while he is relaying orders to his troops, imagining that Vulkarias is doing the same on his ship. When he finished, Adunbi turns to Amy and says with a heavy accent, "Thank you for joining us, your input back at the meeting was very insightful. Is there something I can help you with?"

Amy blushes and trying to think of something to say, "I thought we could talk about the commonality of our earth magic. Osa said there was a way that you can combine and enhance each other's powers. I asked her to tell me how, but she said I had to ask you."

Adunbi grins and begins, "The enhancement process is a ritual that my sister developed. It takes about an hour, and the effect lasts for half a day. It requires us to be in very close contact."

Amy mumbles just loud enough for him to hear, "How close?"

"Intimately close contact, " Adunbi tells her, "and we need to be naked."

Amy walks up to him and starts rubbing her hands across his muscular chest and stomach. Adunbi kisses her, and then leads her back to his tent. Amy grins as she is about to find out what Osa meant about Adunbi's big muscle, while she imagines that Osa is probably about to get fucked by Vulkarias.
