(author; this chapter did take me a long time to write, but I do intend to Finnish this story you can count on it :).

please review with your opinion and an idea for the 3rd story or future chapters. and remember my stories can be a bit of a 'turn on' so please have some K-Y ready just in case *hyena laugh*. oh and anybody who has read my stories before knows that I suck at writing action scenes so sorry if this one sucks. I will try to compensate with sex appeal and hurt-comfort scenes though.

this chapter took me about a week maximum to complete. I will definitely be having a chapter or two uploaded every week and I dont know how many chapters this story will have. it may be 30 or 40...max :). so ideas are welcome for future chapters cause I dont know when ima' stop writing this story. and if you wondering of the status of my story, please dont PM and ask, I will have a story status screen in my profile page to say if a story is complete, incomplete, progressing fast, progressing slow and etc.

*for you the war is over*

aboard the large steam boat bellow deck; the captain now begins briefing shigi and his fellow resistance partisans. they crouch around a large crate, upon the crate sits a bundle of maps of the valdin marshes which were barely lit by an oil lantern sitting on the corner of the crate.

shigi and his fellow partisans of the purple vulture resistance sit around it, breathless with anticipation as the captain paces nervously before finally joining them, crouching.

"now comrades." he gained there undivided attention instantly "our mission, as you may or may not know, is to search and rescue a mage named shaman lox, a once loyal scholar for queen enola. shaman lox has turned his back on queen carmeleon and refuses to aid her in her cause against the allied races. for this she sends her giant airships deep within the southern half of the valdin marsh searching for him." "why is that our concern comrade captain" the partisan on shigis left raised his hand "because he obviously knows thing we could use, dumb arse" shigi filthy looked him gaining a disappointed expression from the young freedom fighter.

"wait comrade captain!" shigi raised his hand "that entire half of the swamp is infested with giant marsh worms and mammoth pythons!" "yes young shigi" he nodded "a heaven for an enemy of the empire seeking refuge". the captain then fully lit the map with the oil lantern.

the valdin marshes was a blunt triangle-shaped island consisting mainly of murky swamp and thick dead trees. the north half containing the troll city of valdin, the birth place of queen enola carmeleon, the primary staging area for the trollish valdin empire. "now comrades, we will make shore right here, the safest place to anchor the boat and we will take the longboat to shore. he helmsmen says our hull is too deep bellow the water line to get any closer due to reefs and sharp rocks".

the captain placed his leather-gloved, black finger-nailed long troll index finger on a red X not far from the very southern shore of the valdin marshes. th captain then moved his finger to a small set of black squares on the map not far from the big red 'X' in the water. "this area, comrades, was once a fully functional airship base, but it was abandoned 10 years ago after its strategic value wained, I'l wager shaman lox is cowering from enolas forces in there somewhere"

as the captain briefed the shore party, the humming they heard from the engines and the very rapid throbbing they felt beneath there feet ceased. it was 'dead' quiet and everybody was disturbed by the sudden stop of the engine "what the hell!" the captain growled as he left to return above deck to investigate and all others including shigi followed him.

whe he returned above deck he found that they were not far from the valdin marsh island and he spotted the helmsmen running towards him "captain!, great news sir, we are here!" he said triumphantly "excellent!" the captain chuckled sinisterly "lower the longboats comrades. we must find the shaman before the queen does" "what about the princess of pus battleship?" asked shigi "that is 2nd priority too us. if queen enola gets her hands on shaman lox, we may never end this pointless circle of war and genocide".

so shigi and his comrades join the captain in the 3 longboats which rowed towards shore in the short distance. all the other trolls, out of fear, prepared there weapons, loading there revolvers and flint locks pistols. shigi, seeing his comrades load there guns, loaded his revolving 50 caliber rifle and his two flintlock pistols on his belt. he was breathless with anticipation and fear as all other were that very moment as the longboats approached the gloomy, spook graveyard-like, massive marshes ahead. shigis heart pounded, as the marshes reminded him of his horrible past when he was in service to the queen.

(authors note; my chapters are becoming shorter because I am lacking ideas and inspiration for future chapters and action.

if you like my story and would like to spill ideas, ask questions or just tell me what you think of my stories then I like to talking to fans, PM me :). and ideas are always welcome).

as shigi, the captain and his fellow partisans row for shore, when all of a instant they heard massive thundering quakes in the distance and then they felt rain stinging them on the head and shoulders like a whip. by the time they to to the shore and set foot on the spongy terrain, the rain was so heavy they could see past 20 meters away and were dependant on the captain with nothing but a compass to guide the rest of the path to th abandoned airship bay. every troll in the resistance shore party constantly whipped the rain off there face and shielded there yes from the spitting rain.

shigi and his comrades walked through the monstrous rain for over 3 hours in the pitch-dark, relying on a barely usable oil lantern the captain held high. and then a sudden flash of lightning lit the shy and revealed to them a zeppelin tower not far before them "nearly there comrades!" the captain chuckled triumphantly like a hyena as he encouraged the troops and shigi to move more quickly towards the tower. he eventual lead them to a barbed wire and hedgehog barrier around the zeppelin bay. a partisan made short work of the wire with a pair of crude wire cutters and shigi, the captain and his comrades proceeded through the zeppelin base. they stood still for a moment to gaze at he massive zeppelin refueling tower a few hundred meters away. also, standing before them, was an avenue of barracks which they split up & searched two by two until they reached the last two and began searching, when all of a sudden, as shigi searched one of the buildings himself he heard a mild rumbling sound, and it wasnt his stomach from fear either.

shigi rushed out of the barracks and looked at the black sky nervously as his 1st ponder was the noise was coming from the engines of a troll imperial zeppelin. shigi wasn't the only one who was consumed by fear as troll partisans loaded there guns and pointed them to the sky in utter fear. "take heed comrades, the queen will not let lox fall into our hands so easily" the captain warned gazing into the dark sky. then the noise became even louder until it sounded exactly like a cessna180. and then a medium sized armored zeppelin flew directly over head and shigi, the captain and his comrades retreated into the barracks and the zeppelin dropped ten muscular Armour troll commandos loyal to the queen wearing red cloaks and bronze helmets and they were armed with clockwork semi automatic rifles.

as the zeppelin flew away shigi and his comrades began firing upon the commandos, filling them with lead. the imperial commandos resisted in a futile attempt to live but failed as they fell at the hands of shigis 50 cal and the partisans pistols. "like I said!" the captain growled blowing the smoke from his pistol "we must find the shaman lox quickly, before the queen does!".

the captain led the trolls quickly towards the tower and stopped to catch your breathe behind one of the barracks. and then one of the troll partisans, eager to reach the tower before all other, ran ahead and was literally torn to shreds and organs by machine gun fire before his comrades "Vladimir!, you idiot. he was only a boy you imperialist pig's!" the captain taunted the imperial commandos in a machine gun nest, which dampened there efforts to proceed to the tower.

the captain then turned to shigi with a bright idea "shigi O van sea" "yes captain" he saluted "if me and the boys suppressed the machine gun nest, could you quickly run into the tower and pick off the occupants of the nest with your 50 cal?" "easy as eating pussy sir" he nodded gaining cackled from a few partisans "cut the laughter and follow me!".

so the captain led the partisans to a barracks block where they could fire through the window at the machine gun next from a distance. the captain and the partisans crouched under the window frames and stretched there arms to blindly fire upon the imperial troll commandos not so much as to terminate but to distract them while shigi moved closer to the tower in an effort to enter.

shigi waited nervously behind the barrack block for the captain and the partisans to create a diversion so he could scurry to the tower.

the machine gun nest started firing in a different direction giving him to opportunity to quickly run into the tower.

he then proceeded up the giant steel spiral staircase which backbone'd the whole tower until he was 3 floors up and found a small window, 'perfect vantage point' he thought as he ran up to it and pointed his 50 cal bellow at the trolls in the machine gun nest. in his cross airs was a red-cloaked troll with a pistol in his belt and a cutlass in his right hand "lights out" he whispers mercilessly to himself as he squeezed the trigger making the trolls head explode from the round. shigi picked them all off one by one until they were all dead and the captain and the partisans could proceed up the stairs.

after shigi, the captain and the partisans re meet they proceeded to the top of the tower. as soon as they finally left the giant spiral staircase they were on the very rooftop of the tower. shigi and his comrades caught sight of a white-haired, white cloaked troll with blue glowing facial tattoos being led across a gangplank onto a small zeppelin with his hands on his head. as the zeppelin started to throttle forward and fly away. the two commandos, guarding the gang plank, opened fire on shigi and his comrades.

shigi quickly picked off the unfortunate commandos one by one with his 50 caliber. shigi, the captain and his comrades ran to the edge of the top of the tower and watch the zeppelin steadily cruise away "imperial fuckers!" the captain curses, not caring if the zeppelin's crew heard "we're too late" the captain placed his hat on his chest in sorrow. shigi loaded his revolving 50 cal and pointed in the general direction of the airships massive balloon "like hell we are!" shigi growled as he opened fire upon the zeppelin's balloon. quakes could he heard as he emptied his gun into the zeppelin's balloon. the zeppelin began descending to the swamp bellow "genius shigi!" the captain said triumphantly "come on!".

the captain led shigi and the partisans into the swamp to find the downed zeppelin. upon arrival, they were greeted by heavy machine gun fire from commandos on the deck of the small downed zeppelin. shigi and his comrades open fire on them until they were all dead and then proceeded inside the zeppelin to search for the shaman lox. but before they could approach the craft, a giant imperial battle zeppelin emerges and roars overhead. it began firing upon shigi and his comrades as they scurried away towards the trees in panic.

after awhile; shigi had retreated to the abandoned zeppelin tower. meanwhile aboard the deck of the downed zeppelin, the shaman lox is loose and fend off the commandos with his lightning hands. lightning arched from his hands to commandos, frying them to death. and then he took a 50 caliber bullet in the pelvis and was downed but not out. and then, as he was too wounded to fight any longer.

and then a black-cloaked with a pirate-like captain hat. he draws his flintlock pistol and pointed it at the downed shaman "you are coming with me!".

meanwhile shigi watches from the very top of the tower and seeing all the small zeppelins led by that giant battle zeppelin made him realize that he is outnumbered.

shigi had no choice but to surrender. shigi ran down the spiral staircase to confront the imperial soldiers. he he ran through the grand archway of the tower and stood before the long avenue of barracks, between which was a squad of 5 imperial conscripts. looking to his left he saw, charging towards him screaming from a distance, troll swordsman wielding cutlass's and katana's. looking to the right of him he saw a pair of mace wielding, muscular troll imperial brutes whom charged towards him with murderous intentions. looking dead ahead, he realized the troll conscripts were loading there guns. shigi panicked and threw down his 50 caliber and raised his hands, hoping that they will take prisoners. the 1st to confront him were the cutlass katana wielding swordsmen who pointed them at his neck. then the conscripts pointed there loaded flintlock rifles and pistols at him "get on your knees!. traitorous purple vulture filth!"-"get down traitor. your coming with us!".

as the troll imperial soldiers threatened shigi, the gigantic battle zeppelin that captured the shaman lox now roars overhead and come to a complete stop directly overhead. and then a black-cloaked, teal-skinned, armored imperial loyal troll with lifeless white eyes and rose-thorn-like short horns all over his his smooth bald crown. he wore a red cloth over his mouth to keep the dirty air out of his lungs. he took as long look at shigi, having no clue he was really a colonel once loyal to the queen. "well well well." he chuckled with a merciless flamb-plagued deep voice "our 2nd prisoner of the day it seems comrades, well done well done" he slowly clapped approaching shigi, on his knees.

the high ranking troll then caught a glimpse of shigis powerful weapon. he picked it up, brandishes it and realized it was a special weapon indeed. "hmm?. a demon mincer, 50 caliber, revolving imperial high powered rifle." the troll looked it over "only one troll I knew had such a monstrous weapon" he then filthy looked shigi and said "colonel hasethsmalvena!. the dragon fucker as we now call you traitor!" he growled "thats 'O van sea' now imperialist pig" he growled back at him causing the trolls to point there loaded guns at him yet again. the black-cloaked, high ranking troll with waved his finger.

the troll officer in command then ordered the two muscular trolls to grab shigi and they held him before the commanding officer "you are coming with us. queen enola will be pleased to meet you again" he chuckled sinisterly. and so the two muscular trolls dragged him aboard and the gigantic war zeppelin headed back to the valdin city.

(authors note: well this chapter took me about 6 days to complete. ideas are welcome for future chapters. if you have an idea PM me and if I like it I will consider it for a future chapter of this very story. now lets see what helix and his sisters are up to shall we)

meanwhile in there room in twighlight falls dark dragon. its midnight and Venus sits on the balcony of there room, concerned for her two legged love, shigi.

inside, jeenie is curled up with her son and daughter on a fur, her youngling's against her warm stomach. Helix who had awakened to evacuate his colon went to the bathroom of there room. on his way out of the bathroom he realized Venus was nowhere to be found. the large groove she left on her fur was still warm and he eventually found her on the balcony, whimpering for her husband. wondering what fate had befallen her husband in the center of the troll kingdoms, valdin marshes.

as he gazed upon his younger sister consumed by sorrow. he could only imagine how she felt as he slowly approached her from behind "hey little sis." venus turned her head to her brother, tears falling down her face "hey Helix." helix could clearly see her sorrow for her husband on valdin marshes. he laid down behind her and coiled his tail around hers and began kissing her neck to comfort her, wrapping his wings around her and giving her a relaxing back rub. his acts made her cease crying and moan in slight pleasure "oh yeah, you always knew how to make me feel better. oh yeah dont stop" "sis, your shivering. why dont come back inside?." Venus merely sighed and admitted to helix "its just not same to sleep in without my little teal man" "shigi will be fine baby sis. he's faced way worse. remember the day we took him prisoner in avalar?. remember when he guided cynder and spyro through the dead marshes and destroyed that zeppelin refueling base?. he didn come back with a scratch that day did he?." a smile grew on Venus's face and she awkwardly twisted her head to give her brother a peck on the muzzle "thanks bro" she then playfully bit him on the neck gaining a blush from him "come on, sis, you wanna come inside, its cold out here?" "its just not the same without shigi against my belly" she whimpered and Helix pecked her face repeatedly to comfort her. but Helix got an idea. "what if I kept you warm little sis" he nuzzled her head. venus sniffed, ceasing whimpering, and kissed him just before she got up "OK big brother".

so helix took his sister back inside, there sides rubbing as they approached venus's bed. she laid on her sid and helix laid down behind her and coiled his tail round hers, wrapped his wings around her and, using his head, pulled the furry blanket over them both. Helix's warmth was enough to send her into a deep slumber even when she was so concerned for her two legged troll husband.

(author; like I said loyal fans. my work is starting to lack inspiration and detail. if anybody wants to spill ideas or maybe even co write with me id be so grateful ;). this chapter took me about 4 days to write. if anybody would like to PM and talk about my work, ask questions etc please PM.).

meanwhile, in the dead marshes. vahali zora slumbers on her fur within her room of the temple of chieftains.

she began to fall into an unusual nightmare. her nightmare contained visions of mostly screaming infants and agony, followed by the cries of new mothers in agony. the visions of the hal jani temple raid which plagued her mind had returned to her. she remembered the night of the raid before the zeppelin's arrived. mothers berthing and affectionately nuzzling and kissing there infants all around her, during the beginning of marsh-dragon mating season. and she saw all around her, mother feeding there new-born blind babies, and all of a sudden, she remembered the very hour the zeppelin's struck and the sound a an explosion filled her dream causing her to gasp shockingly awake.

she gazed around her room for her bed, and saw nothing but a chest she knew was full of gold, a barely lit clay fire pit and, in the corner, a large circular basket, filled to the brim with her favorite kind of snack, sugared, rum infused golden brown dates.

she eyed the dates for about 20 seconds, before finally raising and approaching the basket of dates.

she took one in her jaws and began to chew, she swallowed it and proceeded to return to her bed and return to her slumber, when all of a sudden she felt a burning feeling her gut, causing her to freeze in place. she felt as if something was crawling its way up her throat from her stomach. she then realized that she was regurgitating so she threw up in the fire and it was the date she ate "what in the name of fucking malafor?" she thought, bamboozled. she had never threw up her favorite, alcoholize'd snack before. she then had urges for food she never favored before, she felt the need to leave the temple and search for a rare yet very healthy healing grass which grows on the edge of the shallows of Whoa. however it was too dark and too dangerous for her to leave the temple. with that thought over, she returned to slumber, despite her unusual craving for a rare grass.

(I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. I am deprived of ideas and inspiration, if anybody would like to ask questions about my work and maybe even spill an idea I might like then don't hesitate to PM me I can check my in-box every morning and every night before bed. oh and more sex scenes are on the way. you can bet 'dat...*sinister cackle*)
