    “I am not your..captain..” She began before her eyes unfocused once more. Caught by the wrist and led to the queens chair with no regard for her opinion on the matter. Feeling her hands on her shoulders.. It had been so long sense she had felt a commanding yet, soothing touch. The brain...

    “Why..” Maxine blinked. Her mind struggling to process conflicting thoughts. It made sense...She would say that...But it felt so....Wrong..Why would it be a mistake? Alexandria had helped her so much...Done so much for her legion...Her family.. “I mis spoke.” She said finally “But not about...

    “I-I can over do it at times.” Maxine said standing quickly seeing her queen distressed...Her queen?.. She shoved the thought aside for a moment. “It must have been all of the trips back and forth from the old guild hall. I assure you my behavior does not reflect the steel legion.” She said...

    “D-don’t..” Maxine muttered weakly. Her right hand moving and clasping the queen wrist in light resistance as she combed her fingers through her long raven hair. It feel away limply as Maxines mouth hung open in half awake protest. This allowed the queen easy access to accomplish her task...

    Maxine followed silently. Taking in the hallway as they entered a more private part of the castle she removed her armor and helmet. Placing it neatly by the door before a black steel guard picked it up silently taking their leave. “Ha. Nothing so secretive.” Maxine said with a bark of a...

    Das perked slightly at her kind words, but quickly regained her composure. “She is not your subject.” Maxine said with a raised eyebrow. “She is my soldier.” Giving her a slight nod Das seemed to vanish. And when glancing back at Maxine one would find her on her left still clutching her arm. A...

    “No..It would appear that you have answered most of them for me.” Maxine said. “But as one point I’m not so sure the town will be to keen on the idea of having a guild hall of ours in their village. If there is an uprising I would not want my group in the guild hall separate from the main...

    Das knew well of her nightmares. She had spent many a night walking her entranced charge back to her bed. And holding her steady when she had thrashed about. It had been different then. For her safety and she was asleep. So no problem. Now she wasn’t. The hand offered to her. Her eyes...

    Maxine returned with half of her soldiers. The others were staying behind to load the heavy weapons and armor and send word to those out on contracts that they would be meeting at a new location. More detail than that was not given. As she returned for once more to escort the heavy weapons and...

    Das tensed at the touch. A look of rage flared in her eyes as her mask and hood hid everything else. “Hold sister.” Maxine barked taking a step forward and fixing the guard with a cold glare. Das looked hurt as her hand moved from her blades handle. A shock as her movement was so smooth none...

    Maxine had not been prepared for this. She had dealt with so many upstart queens and kings. Weak people posturing with what money that had left to try and gain alliance with her. They were always easily intimidated and the meetings were always brief. She had thought Alexandria would be like the...

    Maxine was already bristling from this insult when the woman continued. Maxine smirked. Perhaps she had struck a nerve? But this smugness was short lived as Alexandria began to circle her.

    Maxine wasn’t going to play that game. The woman knew of her parents. The implication was plain. If she had connected her to her parents then there was little chance she didn’t know more. The Grandmaster wasn’t stupid, and the fact she was being spoken to as if she was was irking her...

    “Niceties are wasted on you. I’ve seen monsters drooling over corpses that hide their intentions better. There is no one to entertain here.” Maxine said plainly. Her own posture professional and rigid. The good soilder. The loyal soilder. She slipped the smaller piece of parchment from her...

    “Another letter grandmaster.” Das knocked gently before entering with a salute and bringing the parchment to her. “I thought my letter was clear. Maybe they actually are coming?” Maxine said with a bemused expression as she took the offered letter and read it. Tossing it aside in a crumpled...
