Fantasy BDSM?

Al'ika smiled. "There's something for me to tell Fate, as well," she added.

Night began to fall, and they could tell from their last trip that Isep's camp was still about two days out. The boys began to build shelters and set up for a quiet, fireless dinner.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika helped set up the shelters, then sat and watched the boys do the cooking without a fire.

 

[bindingeagle]

Dinner wasn't bad, lots of jerky and dried fruit. "Who wants first watch?" asked Jep.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Flish," Al'ika said. She stood up from her log and stretched. "I think I'm retiring early," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

Flish nodded and went to guard the camp. "Who am I waking up next?" he asked, and Keth took the job. Everyone not on watch went to bed.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika went to bed, and she snuggled down in her bedroll, but remained awake.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth was eventually called up and Flish laid down next to Al'ika before drifting off to sleep. "I'll roll over when Keth comes back," he promised.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Alright," Al'ika said. Her eyes slowly began to close.

 

[bindingeagle]

Keth returned, having sent Issak to watch. Apparently he had enlisted the aid of some local owls.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika smiled sleepily and snuggled into Keth. "How is it out there?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Quiet, but normal," he said, holding her back. soon he had drifted off as well. Issak entered a while later and told Al'ika it was her turn.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika groaned and got out of bed. "Thanks, Issak," she grumbled before going out and sitting on a rock.

 

[bindingeagle]

As far as the night went, it was a very calm one. all of the normal forest activity was going on, and aside from a curious fox, nothing really came by.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika smiled at the blissful night, relaxing into it.

 

[bindingeagle]

The sky began to lighten over the impending mountains as her shift drew to a close.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika sighed and stood up and made her way over to Jep's shelter. "Your turn," she said softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

Jep stumbled out, half asleep, saluted, and took his post.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika smiled, shaking her head, and returned to her shelter, snuggling back in with Keth.

 

[bindingeagle]

Morning came about with no new threats, so they risked a fire in order to have some hot food before setting back out, making their way towards Isep's camp.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika was at the head of the group, and she had her sword out, in case of any eventualities.

 

[bindingeagle]

About midday, they found the foothills. As they looked up the mountain, they could see something burning, billowing black smoke over the ridge.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Jep, Issak, that's where Isep's campsite was last, right?" Al'ika asked softly, firmly gripping her sword. "The two of you investigate, but be cautious. I'm going to try to contact Isep through the mental barriers."

Isep, can you hear me? Where are you? she called out in the mind.

 

[bindingeagle]

No response came. Issak and Jep headed off and were not heard from again until the sun began to sink down. "It's been completely raided," Jep said. "Come on, help us look for clues."

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika made her way up to the camp. "Raided like you. . ." Her eyes widened as she found a scroll. "Did you two see this?" she asked, holding it up. "It was lodged underneath one of the bushes out front."
