Legends of Belariath

Wade

Red Nail

Once Wade and Elise had finished crossing the desert they at last came to the southern city. Wade watched, through his spyglass, for a long time before looking at her and folding it up. "We strike tonight, we stay over the day here in the caves, then we make our attempt at nightfall." Elise nodded, this was his show and he knew what he was doing. "Ok." She says as they pull into a small canyon and into a cave. Once they had stopped and disembarked, Wade would unhitch the mules and feed and water them, talking to them softly. "Does that help?" Elise asked as she set up the firepit and gathered what very little wood there was, mostly broken boards and what appears to be old crates. Wade shrugs, "It makes me feel better. I like to think that we are in this together for now, so I communicate with them. same as you. None of us feel good being underground." Wade would grab the bag with the supplies and wander to the fire to set up what little wade knew to prepare for food, green eyes watchful of the roof. They would eat, and after that Wade would clean the gear and make final preparations. All of this passed in silence, Wade would watch the desert for signs of a sandstorm as he ate. "We need to run a scouting mission. Think you are up for it? We can see how well the place is protected, and pop back here. easy peasy." Elise nodded affitmative, smiling to her teacher. "Ok. thats probably a really good idea." Wade grinned, it was mostly because of how sure Elise sounded. Wades confidence grew, but he also kept in mind the dangers and pitfalls ahead. mostly, not being seen. Their best best was to scope it out after dusk then strike at the midnight hour for best effect. It was easy to be optimistic but blind to the dangers when you are new, still gold; and twice as easy to be cynical but open eyed when you are an old hand.

Elise would unroll the bedroll laying out the lion skin rugs over the wool blanket after shaking the sand out, laying the bear skin blanket there as well. she stretched out, smiling. "Waaaade." she says, "You didn't do the days lesson." Elise giggled. usually sex followed, or ensued in the middle or.. "So what is todays lesson?" Wade pulled the meat from the fire and dusted his hands. "you are gonna like this one." Wadw smiles to her, "Body painting, for camouflaging purposes." He says fishing a small vial from his pack. inside was a black-grey powder. he grabs a bowl and the water and sits beside her, "take off your clothes." Wade says, putting some of the powder into the bowl and mixing some water into it until it was a creamy almost paste-like substance. "Already?" Elise giggles, stripping off her shirt and then her pants, sitting Indian style. Wade continues to stir it, removing any lumps by the constant beating of it until it was almost a paste, but not quite able to cohere into a shape. Wade smears some on each palm sliding them up her thighs, in the desert heat it was cool, almost refreshing. "Oooo." Elise exclaimed with surprise and enjoyment, smiling as Wade leaned in to smear it up her thighs. She kissed him almost involuntarily, Elise's embrace met with one equally as warm, as he slides his hands up her body. Already hard nipples met the cool paste and Elise moaned into Wades' embrace. But then he would stop her and take her by the wrist. Wade smears some paste from the bowl putting her hand on his chest, he jerks from the cool but sighs. "Rub it on me, too. We are going to scout like human shadows. " Elise smeared it on his skin, Wade kisses her again, and again as they smear each other, avoiding the genitalia. Wade would push her back,sliding his torso on hers, then he slips off. "stand up. " He commands, and Elise hops up. Wade also rises, he hugs her from behind, smearing his body against her and coating her back with a fairly uneven pattern that was still good coverage. "Now you." Wade says, walking around in front of her. Elise gripped him rubbing against his body, and she was surprised how evenly it went on only there was a randomness to the blank spots..

-

An hour later they were creeping around the outside wall, no guards patrolled the outside, which was good. The duo split up, naked and coated in charcoal camo they surveyed how far apart the guards were, how often and how far they patrolled; having discovered they worked on an hour rotation at each station, the last being relieved of duty for the night, and there were eight stations total. The doors were iron bound wood, a wood so hard they could tell even after fire it had barely been damaged. They retreated back to the cave, and once there Wade once again took the water, guiding Elise to the mouth of the cave. He began to wash her nude body starting at the top, Wade scrubs and rinses away the coating carefully, and once he is done, lays a soft kiss over Elises' mound. She shivers her fingers stroking his face and his hair until he rises and hands her the water jug.

"Now me." Wade chuckles, and as Elise cleans him he revels in it, it was a hard task to do alone, actually. Once she rinsed him off she would kneel and kiss the head of Wades'cock gently, before sucking it into her mouth. Wade moans, gripping her head guiding her down, his green eyes look down at her watching her take to the task of arousing and pleasuring him. Elise sucked him until he was hard, then rose and took his hand. she guided Wade to the pallet she made for them, to which Wade picks her up and lays her on it as Elise stifled a giggle behind her hand. "Make love to me, Master." She said, and Wade would lift her legs, sliding down to gently nuzzle her sex, placing a soft kiss on her labia he uses his fingers to open her up, placing another kiss on Elise's inner lips now. She panted, calling his name with want and expectation but he paid it no heed, taking his time. "Do not call me that. You aren't my slave, you are my student." Wade breathes, his hot breath against Elise's hard clitoris made her shiver. his words were cool despite the warmth of his breath. "Call me Kambei, its a word from my native language which means teacher." Wade whispered as he pushed a finger into her wet folds and inside her all the way to his palm, causing Elise to moan and squirm as he fingers her teasingly.

"Oh, Kambei.." Elise smiles as she moans the word. She moans louder as Wade pushes a second finger in wriggling them around inside her as he works them in and out faster as he slides up taking one of her nipples in his teeth he lets his tongue flit across it his thumb working her clit. Elise cried out as her hips bucked and swayed wildly, and after a few more minutes she tensed, her body arcing as Elise jams the edge of the blanket into her mouth and bites down, screaming uncontrollably in pleasure. As Elise lays there, panting in a pool of sweat, Wade would gently nudge her over, then he lifts her hips to match his as he kneels behind her. A second later she feels wade fill her, Elise's tight pussy grips his throbbing turgent cock as he thrusts into her over and over moaning softly as he fucks her hard. Elise moans numbly, enjoying it and relaxing into his guiding hands letting Wade do whatever he wanted to as long as the pleasure, overwhelming as a storm, did not stop. She moans out to him over and over, calling him by name, by Kambei, as she came again and again as he fucked her turning her this way or that way so he could pleasure her nubile body, but he seemed to just keep building and building. Elise grinding into his pelvis now wantingly with each thrust until at last Wade grunts and drives hard and deep into her body, they came together in an explosion of sweat and heated cries. Wade wraps his arms about her burying himself in her cum-soaked cunt, shivering from the pleasure of it and from the chill in the air from the approaching witching hour. Elise would push back against him, and giggles. "I could stay like this." She thinks to herself, sighing softly as one of his hands comes up to gently stroke fingers along her cheek.

"We should get ready to make our assault soon." Wade says after five or so minutes. He had not forgot why they had come so far through such peril. Wade too would not have minded staying, if his mind was still not on the task at hand. "I know." Elise whispers back. "but you are.. on top. and heavier than you look. " Elise teased. Wade just shakes his head. "Ha." Was all the response Wade gave as he climbed off, Elises pussy began to leak copius amounts of his cum and her quim mixed together, all over the pallet. Wade utters arcane words and casts clean on her, then on the lion skin, then on himself. "Well why didn't you do that with the paint?!?" Elise exclaims suddenly with a laugh. Wade rises, and as he turns she sees him smile, "You damned well, know why." He says, then tosses Elise's clothing to her. "Get dressed, we got work to do." Wade says with a wink. It amazed Elise, how far ahead of the game he always seemed to be.

--

Wade pulled the wagon around the outside of the wall, looking over at Elise he would hand her the reins. "Wait here." He says climbing into the back, and producing a grappling hook and rope. he hurled the hook up, missed, tried again and got purchase. Up Wade went in a blink, over the wall, the rope being tied to his ankle and as he climbed it drew it up after him. Once he was over the rope went with, and he untied it and rolled it up stowing it in his pack. Elise waited, listening. It was quiet for a long time, then a moment later there was a gurgling sound and a long pause. Then Elise saw a figure moving along the walls and ramparts like a ghost, moving from shadow to shadow; a moment later theres a small flash and he vanishes, only to reappear on a rooftop. The figure moves along the eave, and then pauses, then Wade drops inside and out of sight, and the moment she heard the crash and "Waaaah!!" An indistinct exclamation from where she sat that came in perfect timing of the sound of breaking wood. Angry shouts followed and Elise knew there was trouble...

Wade had crossed using the Dimension Door spell and figured the low lying roof next to the main building would hold him, unfortunately the roof was rotted and old and couldn't hold a feline let alone a man. He touched down with a perfect landing.. and the wood didn't even hold for a second. "WhatTheFuck?!" Wade exclaimed as he smashed through, leaving a wade-sized (and shaped) hole in the roof when Wade crashed through and onto a card game of the city guard. well, needless to say it was a shock to all of the parties involved. Dust rained down and droplets of rain seeped through now, the wind whipped through the dilapidated shed as the men look at each other, bewildered. Wade looked up from his prone position on the collapsed table, "Mind if I play through?" He says cheerily, Still shocked the guards drew their weapons all the same, intent on killing this interloper.

Wade snatched up some cards. "Oh look, kings row! " He throws the cards at the closest guardsman, spinning on his back Wade kicks the mans' feet and comes to his own feet, managing not to get sliced in half as the other two guards try futilely to kill him. Still one managed to gash his arm a little bit and the other missed completely, thankfully. "Wow, poor sports." He quipped, grabbing a stool and parrying a sword blow before cracking the guard over the head with a stool leaving Wade with only a nub of a leg. Wade looks at it, and at the remaining guard. Then at the nub, then at the guard. "Parlay?" Wade says, then throws it at the man, shoulder spearing him when he tries to bat the flying object away. Distracted by Wades' feint the man howls as he smacks into, then through, the wall driven by Wades' blow. They land in a heap of blood and mud in the street, rolling several times before coming to a stop. Kicking The guardsman off him Wade went for the other stool but in a bullrush attack the man managed several good clubbing blows managing to drive Wade back momentarily, right before Wade lightning bolted the guardsman out of frustration at being foiled. And being cut.

It caught the guard square in the breastplate, dropping him in a convulsing, smoking heap on the street after a few seconds of what Wade calls the 'High Voltage Hustle' and bad as it might sound, the man would actually live, but be forever cursed with an unpredictable twitch he could not control. "Oh, how sho-" Wade started to say something pithy but went over face first into the mud and only could gurgle the words into the ground, so it sounded like "Glub gub blub bub" as one of the guardsmen; who had come to, spit his teeth out onto the ground and saw Wade finishing his friend. The guardsman decided this thief needed a lesson, in being dead for his transgressions, not to mention his loss of what was sure to be the winning hand at cards. The guardsman ground Wade into the watery mud face first, and Wade could feel it coming.. The darkness of unconsciousness. Then the guardsman growled, "Say something funny now! Isn't so funny is it, funny man? isnt s-" The guardsman cut off suddenly. Wades' ears rang but he swore he thought he heard gurgling not coming from his drowning in the mud like a salamander.

Then, the pressure on Wades' head went lax and he could breathe again and the ringing in his ears slowed.. he could hear someone and looked up half- dazed to see Elise. "Wade, are you ok?! more guards are coming, we gotta go." she said with a more than worried tone. Wade looked over, the last guardsman stared dead at the wall his eyes glazed over, and a mithril crossbow bolt stuck through his neck. Wade was on his feet in a hurry drawing both his swords, and he nods. "This way." He says, flitting into an alleyway and down. Elise was quick on his heels after retrieving the bolt, they zigged and zagged through small gardens and through small yards across the city... Until he stopped. Elise smacked into his back with an eep; Wade put a hand over her mouth and pointed. Two guardsmen patrol by. They crouched wreathed in shadow and shade, breathing quietly until the men passed without so much as a glance their way.

Once the guardsmen crossed, Wade motioned and he and Elise crossed silently behind the guards. Wade tried a door and it was unlocked, he pushed her inside and followed as another patrol came on the heels of the first. "Hey!" Elise whispered, and was cut off by a deep, passionate kiss as Wade kissed her pulling her closely to him, pushing the door shut. She curled her fingers in his hair as their tongues intertwined, the moment seemed to be frozen even with danger abound. When Wade finally broke the kiss, he smiles softly. "For saving my life. and.. So we don't get got." He says, stroking the hair from her face. "Now lets get these records and get the fuck out of here." Wade proceeded by, quietly moving in the semi-lit room. Elise stopped him though, pulling out a cloth she bound the wound on his arm. "you should be more careful, Kambei." She says with a smile. Wade took Elises hand but his mind was still on mission. "this way." he whispered. "You taste like tea." Wade whispers idly as he moves forward towards their goal.

"And you taste like mud." Elise teases, a bit angered he let such a tender moment flit by. But Wade seemed ever focused on the task. Wade waves a hand back, she freezes as another guard comes around the corner. Wade was on him fast, burying a dagger in the mans' eye, but another guard grabbed Wade as he was only a few feet away. Elise put an arrow the second guards' heart swiftly, allowing Wade to finish delivering the coup dé grace to the first guard. The whole thing came and went in a matter of seconds. "Well, that happened." Wade says, panting. and Elise just rolls her eyes with a smile, Wade really could be charming.. sometimes. Mostly, he was corny almost to the point of painful and it was obvious he knew; but either didn't care or.. well, that was the only option. Wade grabbed the dead guard and dragged him into a side room, and then came back, but as he does Wade encounters Elise doing the same with the second. He helped her finish the task and then they depart up a set of stairs, or many sets of stairs... It seems to take forever to climb without making a sound. The wood was old and the foundation had long ago settled in an odd position leaving the stairs slightly off-kilter from the original blueprinted engineering.

After climbing and climbing and climbing, the duo came to a door from under which came a bright light. Wade held a finger to his lips but just then the door swings open. "Oh. Ive been expecting you two." An old man, thin and balding with long wisps of hair where his pate didn't shine through regarded them, the turned and waved them in. "Come in, Wade, come in, apprentice to the Lightning Thief." Before Wade could stop her, Elise blurted out; "Elise, my name is Elise." Wade made a face at her, but it was too late. "Elise, a very pretty name for a very pretty lass." The man turned and regarded her with a smile, it was a sickly, serpentine smilethe same as when a snake regards a mouse, then he returns to work on what seems to be an apothecaries laboratory. "I expect you seek answers, Wade, known as uth Matar, known as the Lightning Thief, known as the Deadeye.. Oh yes, I have been following you for a long, long time. Since you left this accursed land, and became free of its' burden." The Archivist pointed at Wade. "And now, in exchange for what you need, you will give me what I need. You find out what you need, and. I will be freed of this land at last."

Wade cocks his head, "What is it you need of me, old man?" Wade says to the Archivist, he was leery of dealing with someone who obviously knew much, too much, who looks up and points to Elise with a bony, gnarled finger like Judgement itself. "her blood. her life. Only blood magic will set me free." Wade looks at Elise who pales, the eyes that stare at her hold no love, no care.. No emotion whatsoever that she could see. They were flat with her doom, she could have sworn it so. Elise's heart hammered in her chest, was it all a ruse? was she just a pawn in his game? someone to be sacrificed to reach his goal? Elise's palms began to sweat. Wade would be thinking to himself, Faustian deals. never something I have been comfortable with.. weighing his options carefully, Then those acid green orbs of Wades' swing back to the old man, and speaks three words Elise did not expect: "Go fuck yourself." But before Wade or Elise can act, the old man utters an arcane phrase and firebolts springs from his fingers.

Wade was his target, and the shot meets its mark, Wade falls out the window a ball of flaming cloak, trying desperately to get out of the flaming garment. "Kambei, No!" Elise shouted as a wind blew hard ruffling her hair. The Archivist turned to Elise with a wicked cackle. "Now my dear, we have business." He turns from the window and steps towards her. "Kambei, hmm? So he had begun to school you in the Black Art." perhaps too soon the Archivist focused his attention on the woman, and missed it as a shadowy form looms before lighting in the sill. "Pity, I am sure you would have made a good thief, despite the shoddy training." The Archivist reached a bony hand towards Elise once she was backed against the wall with nowhere to go. Then there was a flash of mithril and the Archivist went down holding his arm, a lightning bolt-shaped blade buried through his arm as he had reached for Elise. "Keep your old ass paws off my apprentice." Wade says, smiling. "forgot I could fly? for a minute, me too." Wade grins cheesily as he drops to the floor and striding across the room jauntily, and seized ahold of the man grabbing the dagger handle and using it to guide the man to the window. "And when I raise my flashing blade, the earth shall tremble and the skies will rumble in sheer awe of it."

Wade yanks the blade from the Archivists' arm, causing the old man to howl as blood spurted, spraying Elise's shirt. When he drops to his knees, Wade lifts him up, "You know why you shouldn't mess with me?" Wade says, pulling the man close a moment drawing a sharp inhale. "Cause Im bats, man. just ask anyone." he says; and hurls the Archivist out the window. watching him fall, Wades' face was as calm as if he would be watching frogs in a pond. When Elise heard the sickening crunch, she knew it was over. "Oooohh, Damn. I give him a seven for form on the way down, "Wade quipped, "But he failed to stick the landing. He may have to settle for the Camerie prize." Wade had wasted no time stepping across the room and seizing an engraved box. He kicks over the lab, and also several lamps full of oil, a few of wine and Wade put his tomahawk through every barrel of whiskey in the place. Liquid pooled on the floor, a volatile mix of flammability. "Time to go." Wade says, he jerks a finger at the oil and a spark of electricity arced across, igniting it. The pair ran down the steps not stopping until they reached the front door. and by then the tower burned wildly.

Flames illuminated everything, by the time they reached the bottom the entire building looked like a giant torch that threw its ghastly illumination over a huge swath of the city as smoke rained down, throwing everything into a ghostly haze of grey. "Follow me, don't stop moving." Wade wraps a scarf around her head and shoulders and then does the same for himself, then proceeds swiftly and silently through the smoke. People ran towards the now bright burning tower with buckets, and in the fracas the duo slipped away unseen, mostly because they were mistaken for refugees from the fire and because the smoke cloaked the street now for blocks around. Wade had ahold of her hand the whole time leading her along until they came to the rampart steps, He runs up them swiftly Elise quickly on his heels. A guardsman was just coming along and spotted them in the dim light of the now-distant fire, "Hey, you cant be u-" But before he could finish, Wade stepped up and put a dagger through his neck, withdrew it and spiked him through the eye. He barely paused to do this, the man dropping dead on the spot and falling to the street below with a heavy, limp thud. Wade continued on now not even bothering to hide, Elise crept along behind him, trying to stay hidden and wondering why he moved so conspicuously now.

"This way." Wade says, he drops his grappling hook into a crevice in the stonework and drops the rope over the wall, Elise went over sliding down into the waiting wagon (because obviously the donkeys were trained to do such). He follows a moment after, removing the hook and diving over the side casting ride the wind to bear himself down to the wagon. Once inside he grabbed the reins and cracked them, spilling her over into the soft pile of stuff in the back as he speed away from the wall. In the distance, a rumble was heard as the tower collapsed, lighting several buildings around it on fire. "Whats the hurry?" She whispered, noticing they were moving away and not returning to the cave. "We cannot be for sure they can track us, so we are gonna cross into the first oasis. Even if they get that fire out, they'd be at least three, four hours behind us. As is we will arrive just before daylight, leaving them with a three or four hour window of riding across that no mans' land." Wade nods, " They wont risk that. they'll wait until they can cross at night, as we are. Putting them a day behind us. by the time they catch us, we will be long gone." Wade concludes. The duo rumble across the darkness of the desert in silence for awhile, the air still save for the sound of the wind, or even the sound of an occasional desert animal, rare as they are. Mostly, it was snakes but none seemed to be too near, luckily. Howls came in the distance, Wade knew the sounds of jackals even from afar.

---

After the last leg of the trip, Elise sat up and rubs her eyes, yawning. "Must've dozed off. Where are we?" She says sleepily. "In the desert, silly. same place as before." Wade says, chuckling. Elise comes to the front and puts her hands on the reins. "go climb in the back, take a nap. I'll drive for awhile." She says but Wade holds the reins firmly. "Nah. I dont sleep much, anyways. Since I got struck by lightning.. I just, don't." Elise shrugs, "Suit yourself. Do we have any of that smoked fish left?" Wade would point to the backpack, for the last wee hours his mind was on whether or not he was right about when they would cross. He also knew everyone knew of the oases, thats why they weren't going there. When they finally crossed a dune, Elise saw what looked like a fenced in yard, but wit stones standing in it and she knew instantly where they were: "Wade.. Why are we in a graveyard?" she says, the thought of supernatural things chills her voice. But Wade, he seemed unperturbed by this. "Because first, they won't look for us here. they will go to the oasis thinking we will need water, and we wont because we barreled some up, enough for us and the mules and more. Second, this is where, if at all, my parents would have been buried." he says softly, They pull into a center roundabout where no graves stood. dead skeletons of trees and browned grasses greeted them, the air silent as was befitting this desert golgotha. They climbed the wagon onto a hill overlooking it and found a small grassy, rocky knoll where life it seemed was persistent even in this unforgiving environment.

Wade set up the firepit while Elise cared for the animals, The pair working in tandem even to erect their shelter and to set up their sleeping arrangements. Wade would fix what meager meal they had, and then the pair would curl up in the shade, watching the sun bake the world to death. During the day the cemetery below seemed more macabre and creepy than at night, but despite this the grass they bedded in was dried, but not dead. Life in the midst of all that death, it made them both wonder. Sitting in the shade, Elise curled her small hand into Wades. "Thanks for saving my life, Kambei." She says softly, eyes shimmering as she watched him. He would look at her after a moment, "Hmm? Oh uh.. damn, you saved me first, besides you Are my apprentice after all." Wade smiles giving her hand a squeeze. Elise looks down a moment and blushes, she lets go of his hand, only to open her top and slide it off. "So Kambei, what is todays lesson?" She giggled putting a hand in front of her mouth the slender fingers touching her lips. Wade chuckles and shakes his head. "No lesson today, because the lesson is sometimes you need to rest." He lays back, away from her and looks at her a moment, letting the anticipation of acceptance or possible rejection hang there, before motioning her over with a sly smile. Elise slides up his skin, softly letting her body touch his before dropping her weight on him suddenly, her arms pushed up so her breasts didnt pinch. "Oof!" Wade exclaimed breathlessly as she uses a hand to push his shirt open before laying on him fully. Elise giggled as Wade mock-flails, stopping after a few seconds and laughing himself before wrapping her in his arms.

Wade kisses her deeply, and she returns the kiss reaching between them to undo his breeches, and once she had, Elise breaks the kiss and slides off, and Wade would slide them off. Elise hiked up her dress and slid back over him, her bare sex touching his cock once she worked into the right position. "Oh," Wade says breathily, "You're really wet." Elise smiled and laughed softly, slapping his chest softly. "For you, yes." Wade rocks his hips up as she rocked hers back, it was as though he anticipated her action and decided to meet it with his own. there was a momentary pressure as it slid to the entrance of her hole then slid deeply within her, causing Elise to gasp hotly. "Yesss.." She says sitting up now rocking her hips back and forth. Wade pulls her nipples softly, playfully then letting them go after a moment. Elise was rocking hard now her cries filled the dried desert air as she fucked wades cock hard and deep. Wade drove into her pussy the squishing of her copious amounts of quim making a symphony with slapping flesh and panting, lust filled voices. Elise ground down suddenly squeaking out, her body quaking and convulsing a little before she goes sort of limp and tips forward laying against wade softly. "Mmmmm..." She said dreamily, Wade smirks and then rolls her onto the makeshift bed before sliding out of her. She made a short, whining sound and mock pouted at him, But Wade rolls her on her belly and parts her legs, lifting her hips to meet his he slides into her again causing Elise to gasp lustily. She licked her red lips as Wade began to fuck her hard, causing her to pant desperately, passionately as she growled in lust as he used her pussy.

Elise knew she would cum again shortly, she felt it and then she felt her Kambei's hips jerk, reaching under herself she toyed with her clit recklessly, trying to bring herself off with him. In a moment, the duo came, Wade slapping his hips against her, holding it before pulling back and thrusting again with a grunt; he repeated this several times as she squeaked out in ecstasy her own cunt convulsing and gripping his cock with each spurt of his hot thick seed filling her to overflowing, it leaks around his thick member and onto the bed below. Wade gripped onto her at the end, panting hard as his heart thunders in his ears. "Damn." He says, sliding off and collapsing onto the bedroll. He casts clean on Elise, then the bed but before he can cast it on himself, she stops him. "Let me, Kambei." Elise says, she took his cock in hand and began to suck Wades' cock clean, Wade moaning as she sucks him hard again in the process. he puts a guiding hand on her cheek, and she suckles him turning her head back and forth alternately every other stroke adding mountains upon his already deepening pleasure. Wade moans as Elise sucks him off, her own fingers finding her still soaked slit and a finger working into it her own hips bobbing up and down as she sucks Wades' throbbing member and fingers herself, her thumb working her clitoris in overtime overtures.

Wade bucks his hips, he grunts and she felt the first shot hit the back of her throat, quickly follwed by others in quick succession. Elise began swallowing as he came, and as it finally subsides she gulps down the last, sucking him clean then wiping her lips with a giggle. "Mmm, very tasty." She says demurely, and Wade grabs her arm quickly, pulling her over into the padding. Elise cries out landing there before Wade would kiss her, not allowing her to object or otherwise speak for several seconds. He tugs her close to him roughly, and Elise slides over compliantly. He squeezes her before breaking the kiss. "Very nice. " he says at last with a smile. Wade winks at her, then when he lets her go he lays back, one arm behind his head. "Think I'll take that nap now." he grins, closing his eyes. "I think ya wore me out." Elise nodded, she grabs her top and puts it on, flipping her hair out of it, "I figured as much. Go on ahead, Wade." Elise kissed Wades forehead and he would turn on his side as soon as she moved to sit by the exit, watching. Wade dozed off, and a few hours he awoke to Elise shaking him softly. "Wade, wake up. I found something you'll wanna see." Wade blinks sleep off and gets up, dressing quickly he steps out into the evening twilight. Damn, Wade thinks as he loads up, I overslept; it had in fact been six or seven hours, in all actuality but Wade normally now only slept half that if he was lucky.

Loading into the wagon, Wade and Elise went into the cemetery, in the distance a howl issues forth from the deepening black of night as they cross into the dead lands. after a moment, Elise points. "There, DeWhick, like on the page." Wade gives her a cross look but she waves a hand at him. " Go on, be mad, but you let it unrolled. not like you were hiding it so well, and I peeked. While you slept, I crept down and found," she hops down and walks over to a crypt, "this." the crypt bore the name deWhick over the iron grated reinforced door. "I tried to pick the lock, but wouldn't you know, " Elise laughs, "it is so old its frozen shut. the tumblers dont even move." Wade took a look at it a moment bending down. then with a swift, singular motion he draws his mithril short sword from over his shoulder, cleanly slicing the lock away. "seems to work fine now. " Wade jokes, opening the outer grate then the inner door. old death and decay smells emanated from inside and Elise turned her head, covering her nose and mouth as she paled. "I'm.." she gagged and got it under control by backing away from the door. "I'm not going in there. " Wade shrugged and ventured inside, looking around. He would not be in there long when he heard cackling, howling sounds coming from close by. Wade would sprint from the tomb, and at first Elise froze fearing a ghost or ghoul was chasing him because he slammed the door, the. the heavy grate before grabbing the donkeys reins. "Come on!" Wade shouted to her, moving through the rows of tombstones and crypts. Four legged figures flit amongst them as she follows, having grabbed the food pack and the bedroll she ran after Wade. Elise watched with dawning horror, "Wade, we arent alone!" She said rapidly.. Wade finds another crypt, kicking the door in he lead the donkeys inside, "This way!" He shouted to Elise leading his pack animals to the back before turning them around. She slid in just as one of the feral animals tried to jam its' snout in and take a bite of her leg.

Elise kicked the door slamming it on the canine nose, it yelped and pulled back, and She slammed the door all the way shut leaning against it. "What the hell are they?!" she shouts over the laughing barks. "Jackals. " Wade said, "Too many for us to fight, there has to be fifty or more. " he had moved over to the door and pushed a huge stone block over. it leans against the door pinning it and Elise moves as it falls into place. "That should hold it." Wade pants. claws scratch the metal and stone, but it holds them at bay. Elise looks around, and of course sniffs the air. " this tomb doesn't stink." she notes. Wade was with his mules, calming them.. "yeah. its empty." he chimes in after a bit. "no name above the door." he says and smiles ruefully. Before long the wind picked up, and a howling ensued, but instead of a normal windstorm this one seemed to be almost tornado strong throwing objects around outside. They could hear the jackals pacing and a few get his by loose objects by the yelps that would suddenly diminish. Wade would hunker down not far from the door, the donkeys both pawing the dirt in the back, content to be sheltered from the storm even thought it was cramped. After awhile, the sounds died down, and then, eventually quit. when Wade moved the stone and went out, their cart was overturned and a tarp was shredded and most everything was half buried in sand,but that was all the damage the storm and the jackals did. Elise was smart enough to grab the food and wade grabbed the mules, robbing the roving pack of sustenance for the most part, but the gear ended up scattered and it took them an hour to find it all and gather it back in the bag, minus an item or two. "Glad I didn't bring Bandit. she'd have tried to fight them off. Damn hunters already tried to kill her once." Wade growls low..

"So, now what?" Elise says once everything had been gathered and they were on their way. "Now nothing. Its done." Wade says, riding along in silence until she says.. "And? did you find them?" Wades eyes narrow as he watched the road glancing back now and again. "Her. I found her. the tomb said, 'Cassandria deWhick, laid to rest by her husband, the Archivist, Maximillian Dixon.' " Wade lets it sink in for Elise a moment, falling into his own silent thoughts. "Oh, oh Kambei." She hugs him from behind and he moves to push her off, but cannot; either because he knows she wont quit or he is afraid she might, if he pushed too hard. Wade sighs. "I killed my own father." He says flatly. Elise nods against his back and neither say much else, the dark night cooler around them. Soon after it rained, a rarity in the desert but all the same, they had to use a tarp around themselves and the equipment to stay dry. Once it stops they continues on, their trail obliterated behind them as they push on. "So.. The man you killed in the tower, was your father. how did he survive, do you know?" Wade arcs a brow. "you ask alot of questions. in out line of business its not usually a good idea. But, I'll entertain you this time: Yes, he was my father. That man, was a blood relative, but nothing more. You stuck by me, you pay attention and you learn. and I consider you like family, so to speak. he was just a guy, I do not know how he survived but he threatened the future of this business." Wade smiles a little as they traversed forward. "The family business, as its been for generations." Wade holds up the scrolls, "Maybe ill buy a wagon, hire some 'performers'." He says, smiling a bit. "you could use your sailboats for it then, and travel the rivers. it will keep us out of the desert at least. " Elise says leaning against him. "possibly," Wade says, "But they arent that big. Yeah, we're gonna need a bigger boat, then."
