The Mandalorian and the Dark Elves have been moving non-stop since escaping the Black Citadel. They needed to get as much distance away from the Kuroinu until Vault sent searching parties after them. Dredgens little diversion has bought them some time but for how long is uncertain
Unfortunately, the Kuroinu isn't the only thing the 3 needs to worry about. The Wasteland they have to cross is filled with many hazards and dangerous creatures they need to watch out for.
Dredgen stop in his tracks he scans the land and it was about to get dark soon
"That's enough."
"Huh?"
"I think we're far enough from the Kuroinu, It's about to get dark soon and If they already sent search parties I doubt they would want to keep crossing the wasteland at night. We should take this chance to get some rest."
"I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with this Humans decision Lady Olga." Chole looks back at her Queen. "You need rest."
"I-I am fine Chole." Olga said trying to put up a front but The Mandalorian and Handmaiden can see she's running on fumes. "B-But I agree we should take this opportunity to recuperate"
"Good. There's a good spot I see not far we can set up camp there."
Dredgen led them to a large boulder cave. It has good coverage and is difficult to be spotted at night. Luckily there weren't any creatures living in the cave. They gather some wood to create a campfire.
Olga tried to use her magic to ignite it but was unable to. She lets out a frustrated growl at this can't even do something simple as fire magic. Guess they have to do this the old fashion way but our Mandloiran has his flamethrower vambraces to help with that. He lit up the campfire with a flick of the wrist.
"How convenient." Chole said
"It has its usages."
With the campfire going the 3 don't need to worry about freezing in the night. They all sat down around it, Olga and Chole sitting together and Dredgen was across from them.
The Mandalorian sitting quietly noticed the Dark Elves were peckish they didn't say but he can tell by their body language. Without any thought, he reached into his satchel and pulled out 2 pieces of beef jerky
"Here." He hands them it
"Huh?" The Dark Elves looked confused at his actions
"You both clearly haven't eaten anything since our escape. It's all I have but it's better than nothing so, here take it."
The Dark Queen and Handmaiden were taken back by this. They didn't expect Dredgen would give his only piece of food to them they didn't even said they were hungry at all
"Dredgen we cannot." Olga being modest about it. "Chole and I aren't even hungry you can have it."
"I will be fine." The Mandalorian assured " You both need it more than I do and I was instructed to bring you in well"
The Dark Elves were still unsure but he insisted they needed to eat something.
Olga sighed but accepted it with a smile "Very well Dredgen, thank you."
The Dark Queen and Handmaiden took the jerky from his hand. Olga right away began eating it Chloe on the other hand looked at the beef jerky for a moment. She was surprised that Dredgen would do such a thing to them. She felt a small sense of guilt inside she understands what it is like to be hungry. It didn't seem fair to Dredgen that she and her mistress eat something while he starves after he did so much for them.
Chole right away ripped the beef jerky in half enough to share
"Here Human." She showed him the half piece surprising Olga and Dredgen
"Hm? What are you doing?"
"W-what does it look like I'm doing!?" Chole shouted, having small blushes on her cheeks, `I am giving you some of it. It just didn't seem fair that you didn't eat something after helping us."
Dredgen looked at the beef jerky in her hand for a moment. Rather unexpected to see from Handmaiden but amusing in a way to him "
"Okay I will accept it. Thank you Chloe"
Dredgen took the jerky from her as she began to eat hers. The Mandalorian slightly lifted up his helmet to where his mouth is. He slid the jerky in and ate it. The Dark Elves were surprised to see him do such a thing.
"Do you ever take off that helmet of yours?" Chole asks
"Occasionally I do"
"Why don't you take it off now?"
Dredgen blankly looked at them "We're in the middle of wasteland and we are gonna have dogs chasing us soon. I would rather not risk it.
"I see.."Chole then had a curious look on her face "So...Human, how did you become a Mandalorian?"
"Ah yes I too also was wondering about this as well." Olga said
The Mandalorian looked at the Dark Elves for a moment. He was unsure if he should but it's not like he has anything to hide and there's not really any risk
"I was a foundling."
"A foundling?" Olga raised a brow at his answer "What happened to your parents?"
Dredgen paused at her question, he looked directly at the fire and sat there motionless for a moment. The Dark Elves were unsure if he'll answer but Dredgen soon did
"What always happens around. They were killed by the demon army when I was still a child."
"Oh,I'm...I'm sorry for your loss." Olga being sympathetic to him "for a child to lose their parents and home at a young age is tragic""
"It's alright but to sum it all up for you. I was from a small farming village, demons raided it at night, they killed most of the men, taking some of the children and raping every woman there. I should've died or been taken when it all happened but I was saved by them."
"Mandalorians." Olga said
"Yes. They took me in. They raised me in the fighting corp. They taught me their culture, their ways, I was treated as one of their own. When I came of age I was sworn into the creed."
"I see you owe them your life."
"I do, that's why I follow the way of Mandalore, to serve my tribe...This is the way."
"You are very lucky to be saved by them." Olga said with a small smile " I didn't think there were any Mandaloirans left since the Great Purge long ago but I should know better that your kind is hard to kill."
Dredgen chuckled "Hmph..we are a resilient bunch." The Mandalorian then turns his attention to Chloe "Soo, what about your Handmaiden?"
"M-Me?" Chole points at herself surprised
"Chole?"
"Yes I told you both how I became a Mandalorian, didn't I? I was curious how she became a Handmaiden to the Dark Queen."
Olga frowned slightly at this. "I know we asked a sensitive subject for you, but-"
"I was once a slave" Chole interrupted surprising her mistress. "My mother was a dark elf and my father, may he rot, was human. I am a Half Elf not a fully blooded one"
"Half-Elf?" Dredgen surprised at this he has heard a human and an Elf can have children together but it's extremely difficult
"Yes, My mother deeply loved me but my father was a bastard." Chole clenched her fist remembering her dark past. "Always drunk, beating me and my mother constantly. My mother died from a sickness and my father sold me to a human nobleman and it was worst, every day I was constantly abused, molested, and rape. I was nothing more than a plaything to them, an object."
The Handmaiden looked at her mistress with love and appreciation "Lady Olga saved me when I tried to escape, she killed those who were chasing me, she took me in, she gave me a new life which I was treated person not as an object and for that I am eternally grateful and swore loyalty to her."
"I see. That is nice for you Chole"
The Handmaiden's ears perked up she didn't say anything however Olga did notice she had a small smile
"In a way your story it's almost like mine."
Chole raised a brow "How so?"
"Both of us were saved by someone, they took us in for that, we are forever grateful to them and are devoted to fight and die for them".
Chole looked at the Dregden for a moment before she let out a small laugh "Hmph...Maybe we are alike.
"I'll take that as a compliment"
The 3 had a small laugh together despite being in the middle of a wasteland
"Alright, that's enough storytime. Get some rest you two, we still have a long way back to the White Citadel. Dredgen stood up and walked to the cave entrance "I'll keep watch for now"
"Oh, Thank you Dredgen." Olga said. The Dark queen pulled out some blankets for her and her handmaiden. The two lied down on the ground "Goodnight Dredgen"
"You as well your highness and to your Handmaiden."
...
A few hours later.
Dredgen sitting near the cave entrances he had his spearbolt in hand to spot or take out any threats he'll see from a distance. It's been hours and there haven't been any signs of anything but he shouldn't let his guard down.
The Mandalorian looks back at the Dark Elves who were sleeping soundly. He took this moment to pull out the tele-stone to contact his client. He doesn't know if Celestine will be awake at this time but he had to try.
"Lady Celestine, are you there? Please answer."
All he heard was silence for a moment until he heard a yawn from his
"D-Dredgen? Why have you called me this late?" Celestine asked sleepily
The Mandalorian sighs in relief "Forgive me for calling you at an odd time but something has happened."
What is it? Celestine heard the urgency in the Mandalorian voice that made her awake
Dredgen explained everything to her to Vaults betrayal to start an uprising against the Shield Kingdom to create a Sex Empire, their escape, and Olgas sudden magic misfire
"Is Olga okay?"
"She is fine so is her Handmaiden." Dredgen assured, "I managed to get them out before anything could happen to them."
"Good, that's very good Dredgen. This is disheartening news. I must rally the other Princess Knights to form a plan. When do you believe you will arrive to the White Ciditial?"
"A few days perhaps. If we don't encounter any problems on the way."
"Okay, I will send patrols near the wasteland borders to help please get here as soon as possible. I believe that's enough time to contact the other Shield Princess and get them here to Ken to discuss a form of counter-attacks against Vault and his Kuroinu"
"I see...What are your plans with the Dark Queen and her Handmaiden then?"
Celestine on the other end was surprised that he asked. When Dredgen took the job he didn't ask why they wanted him to capture her not once until now. The Goddess felt a little happy that he seems to care about it.
"Originally I wanted to make peace with her. As you know this war between us has gone for too long"
"But now?"
"Now I am uncertain." Celestine sounding worried "With Vaults sudden betrayal everyone will be shocked by this news and many will likely want to make quick work of Olga rather than making peace with her
"I am sure you'll figure something out by the time when we arrive."
Celestine smiled at what she heard. "I thank you for having faith in me in such a matter. If you hadn't warned us about this sudden betrayal. We would've been caught off guard before it was too late you've done a great deed for the SHield Kingdom I cannot thank you enough for your bravery"
"You don't need to thank me for your highness. I'm honoring the job as a Mandalorian should"
Celestine chuckled "Hmph I'm glad I was able to hire one of your kind you've done more than I asked for and for that I am grateful. You've certainly have earned your reward I will pray for your safe return"
The crystal slowly dimmed away in the Mandalorian hand, Dredgen sighs, and waving his head. This situation for him has taken a turn of development he certainly made an enemy of the largest group of Merciences in Eostia by tricking Vault, stealing his spoils from him and his men alongside his new demon recruits.
Not many would relish the thought of it but Dredgen never really did like the Kuroinu to begin with plus there was no way in hell he was gonna join a cause where men can pillage any village, rape any woman and kill any whom they like without any repercussions. It would make him an animal, not a warrior.
Dredgen sighed again, what will happen from now is uncertain but for now, he should focus on the job at hand.
"…..Shouldn't you be sleeping?"
The one Dregen is asking the question to is Olga standing behind him she was surprised that he noticed her
"I should ask you that. "Olga wrapped in a blanket walked over to him and sat next to him.
"Someone has to keep watch."
"Out of all of us you must be the most exhausted."
"I appreciate your concern about me but I've done things like this before," Dredgen said looking out to the waste "you don't need to worry."
"Every great warrior needs rest when they have a chance to." Olga said "You Mandaloirans should know that"
Dredgen looks at Olga she was right on that but given the situation and where they are currently has gotten him on edge a little but he guess why the Dark Queen is up
"I take it you heard my little conversation with the Lady Celestine?"
The Dark Queen paused at his question but sigh "I did and I was quite surprised what I heard. Celestine wanted to make peace with me after everything I've done to her people."
"Lady Celestine sounded determined about it." Dredgen said "Could be a good thing for you"
"Perhaps." Olga sounding doubtful " But now she's unsure what to do and her people would rather see my head on pike than as a prisoner
"You could perhaps make a deal with them." Dredgen suggested "If you believe what Lady Celestine said about making peace with you is true then you could help the Shield Kingdom against Vaults new army. You are a powerful dark sorcerer after all and your Handmaiden combat prowess is formidable plus I'm sure you know some valuable information that could come in handy against Vault...Although I don't think others would be happy about it, but given the circumstances now it probably best if both sides come to an agreement"
"Oh and you think I should do this?" Olga asks with a brow "Strike a deal with my enemy, become allies to defeat a new one?"
"For your survival?...Yes, but the choice is yours to make."
Olga stared at Dredgen for a moment until she let out a chuckle " Hmph..I do appreciate your opinion on the matter. I may consider it but I don't think I should be called a powerful dark sorcerer given my current state. I even struggle to use something as simple as a fire spell
"What happened back there? Dredgen asks
"I don't know" Olga sounding a bit frustrated "My dark magic has never done anything like in all my years. It felt... off but I might still be able to use some magic"
"That's good" Dredgen said " And Kin did say your magic was getting weaker as he suspected. Maybe he knew something before you noticed
"If that is the case my magic will likely continue to deteriorate unless I find a solution quickly."
"I'm hoping you do."
Olga felt a little happy to hear that from him. She then scoots a little closer to him which Dredgen took noticed that she wasn't wearing her purple corset and is completely naked underneath the blanket. The Dark Queen loosen her covers a bit to where parts of her breasts are exposing
"So Dredgen I have a question for you."
"If..it's something I can answer"
"Are you perhaps….interested in my body?
Dredgen quietly stared at her getting a good look at her even though she is partly covered by the blanket she does have such a nice body
"I would be lying to myself if I wasn't. The Mandalorian answers slightly turning his head away "I'll admit You are quite the sexy lady to look at and you have many nice features I like"
"An honest answer?" Olga covered her mouth surprised but she giggled. "I didn't expect that from you, given you always seem to be bother whenever I show off"
"You asked, didn't you? "
"I did and I do appreciate your honesty but you should know when men talk and at me in such lewd matters, it disgusts me but with you Dredgen." Olga leans closer to him to his head with a seductive smile "I'll allow it.
The Mandalorian backed his head away from that remark and he didn't know how to react to that. This is Olga Discordia, the Dark Queen he's talking to and she's okay with him looking and talking to in a lewd way. Not many men will get that kind of privilege from her given the fact she is a powerful dark sorcerer that she can easily kill anyone with her dark magic
"I'm... honored to hear that from you, Lady Olga."
"Olga."
"Hm?"
"I'm no longer a queen and am currently your prisoner." Olga explains "There is no longer a need for you to be so formal with me. You can call me Olga from now on.
"Is that so?" Dredgen tilted his head the Dark Queen seems really open to him "Alright as you wish...Olga"
Olga smiled at what she heard for a man to casually call her name she couldn't help feel a sense of progress towards Dredgen.
"Very good and Dredgen."
"Hm?"
She places a hand in front of his face "Get some rest"
With a small quiet chant, the Dark Queen cast a spell to him
Dredgen immediately felt drowsy; it caught him off guard that Olga used a spell on him. He tried to fight it to stay awake but whatever the Dark Queen did to him it worked. Eventually, he fell asleep, his head landed on the Dark Queens shoulder, and let out a light snore.
The Dark Queen slowly set his head onto her lap; she chuckles in amusement at having a man much less a Mandalorian sleeping on her lap. As she stared at the sleeping Bounty Hunter she just realized something
"Hmm..I'm curious"
Olga noticed that the Mandalorian hadn't taken off his helmet not once ever since meeting. She looked behind her to see Chloe was still sleeping. The Dark Queen slowly placed both of her hands on Dredgen's helmet. She was about to lift it off, but then suddenly stopped she stared at the helmet for a while before sighing. She removed her hands from the helmet
As much as I'd like to see what you look like, I cannot disrespect your Mandaroians traditions….She lets out a small smile. It'll be more interesting if you'll take it off yourself...perhaps in a more...private setting"
...
Dredgen awoke the very next morning feeling rested which he didn't know why. The last thing he remembered he was on watch, he talked to Olga for a bit and then black. Slowly opening his eyes the first thing he saw was a pair of F cup size breasts
"Oh what the hell."
The Mandalorian backed his head away when he realized what he was looking at he heard then mumbling. Looking up he sees the Dark Queen sleeping still laying next to him. She had her arms wrapped around his helmet head near her expose chest
How did this happen to him is unsure. Dredgen briefly stared at her voluptuous breast and he'll admit she does have a nice pair he couldn't help but also noticed how nice Olga smells too though
The Bounty Hunter soon realized what he was doing. He quickly shook his head; he didn't have time to gawk at Olga's big breasts while she's sleeping and he shouldn't be anyway! It's rude and unprofessional he had to get up but just as he slowly backed away the Dark Queen grabbed his head snuggling him closer to her breast.
Dredgen surprised by this she wasn't letting him go but it's time for them to get up
"Olga? Wake up." He tried calling her name but the Dark Queen quietly mumbled still in her sleep.
(Really?) Dredgen said in his head the Dark Queen isn't gonna wake up anytime soon and if he tries backing away she'll just grab him again and there in an awkward position. The Mandalorian had an idea to break away from Olgas hold but it's one he doesn't like he lets out an annoyed sigh
"I'm gonna hate myself for this."
With no other way, Dredgen placed his hands on Olga's breast. The Dark Queen lets out a sexy moan from having her breast squeezed.
Dredgen tried to focus on his mind of getting away instead of thinking of how big and soft the Dark Queens' breasts are. He knows he shouldn't be doing this kind of this to women without their consent first he couldn't help but admit how nice they feel even though he is a Mandalorian he's still a young man
Olga moaned more pleasurably as Dredgen still tried to break away from her. He finally managed to get her grip to loosen on him. With a window he slowly pushed away from the Dark Queen he was about to getaway
.
"Dredgen?"
(Dammint)
The Bounty Hunter slowly up look to see the Dark Queen golden eyes on him before she made a teasing smile
"Dredgen I didn't know you were such a naughty man to groop a woman in her sleep."
"I...know what it seems but.."
"But?"
"I..."
The Dark Queen lets out a laugh at the Bounty Hunters loss for words and she lets go of him "I'm just playing with you that's all"
Dredgen slowly sat up Olga couldn't see his reaction but can tell he is a bit flustered underneath his helmet
"You were awake?" He asks
"Just now but touching me in my sleep?" Olga asks with a mischievous grin "I thought Mandaloirans knew better to do such a thing."
Dredgen felt a knife stabbing his pride as a Mandalorian and as a man! He didn't mean to grope the Dark Queens breast in her sleep he had to make it up to her
" I apologize for doing such a thing to you but I don't think an apology is enough"
"That's true." Olga said "For you to be forgiven you must do something for me."
"If it's letting you and Handmaiden go. I can't do that."
"No it's not that!" Olga shouted " I gave you my word I won't do anything to escape from you I had….something else in mind
"That is?"
Olga place a finger to her lips thinking with a not so innocent look "Hmmm I'm unsure at the moment I need to think about it over "
Dredgen sighs it can't be good he assumes " Fine I await your answer until."
The Dark Queen giggled "Don't think I'll forget I always remember those who are indebted to me"
"I'm indebted to the former Dark Queen, the one who I was hired to capture." Dredgen couldn't believe what he was saying now "What would the creed say about this?"
Olga laughs at him but it's time to get up. She stretched her arms in the air as she did Dredgen noticed her breast bounced when she did it.
"I'll….wake up your Handmaiden now," Dredgen said making his way to Chloe
The Dark Queen chuckled in amusement as she knew he had a peak at her "Be careful Dredgen Chloe might not like to see a Human waking her up."
"I'll take my chances."
The Bounty Hunter approaches the Handmaiden she was still sleeping soundly. Seeing her sleeping face was rather cute to see but Dredgen didn't have time for that. He crouches down and places a hand on her arm.
"Hey. Chloe Wake up." Dredgen gently shook her
"Mmm Don't...want to" The Handmaiden turns the other direction away from him
The Mandalorian blankly stared at her a little annoyed at this
"Your Queen is awake now and she ordered you to wake you up. That was an obvious lie from Dredgen but he knows how loyal she is to Olga.
"Mmmm…...fine."
Chloe groans in annoyance but she can't deny her Queen's orders. The Handmaiden slowly sat up, her hair was a bit a mess, she rubbed her before yawning. She stretches her arms in the air that the blanket she had on fell revealing her naked and beautiful body
Dredgen right away turned his head elsewhere averting his gaze from the Handmaiden
The Handmaiden still half asleep noticed the Mandalorian near her she then looked down at her body before blinking a few times. After a moment to realize her eyes widen and her face turned bright red. She immediately covered herself with the blanket.
Chloe growled at Dredgen "Did you see?!"
"A little" He admits sounding a bit embarrassed
The Handmaiden twitched at his answer "You..you pervert!"
Chloes loud shout made her Queen who was getting dress nearby laugh.
"Seems those 2 will get along nicely"
Many hours have passed since The Dark Elves and Mandalorian left the camp and the 3 made some good distance. They avoid many hazards and kept their distance from any creatures they spotted so good so far.
The 3 drops down from a small ridge after walking for some distance Dredgen then suddenly stop getting the Dark Elves attention
"Dredgen what's wrong? "Olga asks
The Mandalorian didn't answer; he scanned the area around he didn't see anything but he heard something in the distance before them slowly getting louder by the second he turned around to see 6 Kuroinu riding horses straight to them.
"Vaults Dogs!?" Chole shouted in shock "how did they find us already?"
"Get ready." Dredgen said to them
The six horsemen managed to catch up to and surround them. Their laughter and jeering whistling, alongside the neighing horses, put the three on edge. Olga took out her staff, even though she couldn't perform magic right now. Chloe unsheathes her daggers and Dredgen has his hand near his.
"Well,well, well...Didn't think we find ya so soon eh Mando? And look boy he's got 2 hot Dark Elves maybe he'll let us have a turn with them! Haha!" The leader laughed so did his men alongside him
Dredgen didn't say a word he was surprised Vault sent search parties after them so quickly and that they would find them. The Mandalorian noticed something off about the group of mercs; they all looked exhausted like they were moving non stop throughout last night
"Vault's not happy with you Mando." The leader said looking down at Dredgen "Taking away those hot pieces of ass all to yourself, wrecking our new castle, killing and injuring some of us. We should kill you where you stand but I think Vault will pay us well bringing your ass to him alive maybe he'll let us fuck those 2 bitches first as a reward while you watch helplessly. I think that helmet of yours would look nice on me"
"Ooo I call the Dark Queen first!" One man chuckled perversely. Olga felt like vomiting at the thought of a man like that raping her. Chloe threatened to kill him if he came anywhere closer to her mistress
"Shame you all won't be able to because I intend to honor my job to the end"
"Fuck honor!" The leader shouted "You're not a Knight! You Mandaloirans are mercs aren't ya? Just like us trying to make a coin for a living. Even after Vault offered you to let you fuck any hot woman and help restore your band of warriors glory you could've been a king yet you still refused it. How stupid can you be?"
"Vaults vision of a Sex Empire isn't the way of Mandalore and if I wanna restore my clan's glory I'll do it as a Mandalorian not as a dishonorable Dog. Step aside and you all won't die by my hand."
The Merc Leader grits his teeth in annoyance "Crossing us was a big mistake for you Mando! You think Vault will forget for what you did!? He will send everything after you and he has eyes everywhere!"
"Yeah…..Good. "*BANG* *BANG*
Within a blink of an eye Dredgen quickdraw his flintlock firing off 2 shots killing 2 of the Kuroinu. His sudden quickdraw caught everyone off guard, even the Dark Elves at how fast he did. The loud noise frightens the horses causing them to run
Dredgen again fired his flintlock killing another Kuroinu
The leader looked at his men who were still in shock "W-What the hell are you all waiting for you idiots!? Get them!"
One back to his senses he quickly shook his head and charged right at Dredgen with his sword he let out a battle cry.
The Mandalorian rolled out of the way dodging the horse. Dredgen then quickly fires his rope launcher at the passing horse, it tethers around the merc thug He yanks him off the horse. The merc slammed onto the ground hard and The last thing he saw was the boot of our Bounty Hunter to his face
"Y-you bastard!" The 5th merc charged at Dredgen with his spear but before he could even get close the Mandalorian shot him in the shoulder knocking him off his horse.
"Grahh! Mando you Fuck! You're gonn- Gah!"
Before the bleeding merc could finish his banter he felt a knife to his skull courtesy of the Mandalorian.
Five kuroinu down and the last one is the merc leader. He couldn't believe it, they had them surrounded and outnumbered but Mando took out 5 of his men in a matter of seconds.
The merc leader couldn't take him on alone; he thought he and his men could take him easy! But with him being the last one standing he had a fearful look on his face he had to run!
"Ehh Fuck this I'm outta here." The leader whips his horse and began retreating back to the Black Citadel probably to tell Vault where they are
"Where do you think you're going!"
Dredgen runs on top of a ridge, he pulls out his spearbolt he crouches onto one knee and takes aim. Looking through the scope The merc was riding a straight path. The bounty hunter took a deep breath and fired. Within a split second echo of the man disintegrating throughout the wasteland. The Mandalorian lowers his spearbolt that was the last of them
"Nice shot."
"Thanks….?"
Turning around the one who praises him was Chloe, not Olga which surprised Dredgen
"Hmm I wasn't expecting that from you."
The Handmaidens face became flustered red by that "W-what!? That was just impressive at how quickly you dispose of those Dogs!
"Indeed Dredgen. Olga agreeing as she came to them "Chole and I didn't even need to do anything. Celestine made a wise choice to hire you. They didn't even stand a chance against you."
"I'm honored to hear that..from both of you."
Olga and even Chloe smiled to hear that.
The Dark Queen then looks at the single horse who was near its dead rider "It seems those incompetent fools won't be needing their horses now I suggest we take it.
"Agreed."
The 3 went to the horse but just as they approach it, the horse lets out a frightened scream jumping not letting them get close.
The Dark Elves were annoyed by this but the Mandalorian knows how to deal with this slowly approach the frightened horse to calm it down
"Easy..easy" The Mandalorian raised both its hands to show he's not gonna harm it. Getting closer Dredgen gently places his hand on the horse's neck gently rubbing it. The horse slowly became calm by his touch knowing the Bounty Hunter is not gonna hurt the horse gently rubbed its head against him
Dredgen chuckled at it as he petted it "Good..good that's a good horse."
"A skillful warrior and also good with animals I see" Olga said with a smile admiring Dredgen
"This will get us the White Cidial quicker," Dredgen said still petting the horse
"My Mistress and I will have our own horse to commandeer then," Chloe said looking around for the others
"No." Dredgen said " We all ride the same horse together."
"Huh!?" Chole faces became red "You want one of us to sit in the front with you and the other behind you!? Who is it you intend to sit where then?!
"Does it matter?" Dredgen asks, feeling a little annoyed at her sudden outburst " We need to get moving"
"Why can't we just find the other horses who ran off?!"
"The others are lost in the wasteland and we don't have time to go looking for them before more of Vaults men find us again."
"Chloe that's enough" Olga stopping her Handmaiden " Dredgen is right. We are wasting valuable time arguing on such things we have to keep moving before more of those dogs show up."
The Handmaiden twitched but she complies with her Queen
"A-As you wish Lady Olga."
With all 3 in a somewhat agreement, the 3 scavenged what they could find from the dead mercs before they found some food, water, and even a map! This will surely help them
Dredgen slots his spearbolt onto the horse saddle; he then hops onto the saddle. He offers a hand up to the Dark Queen first which she gladly accepts as she sits between his legs. The bounty hunters then offer a hand to the Handmaiden Chole at first was hesitant by it but she took it and hopped behind the Mandalorian.
Getting settled in Olga moved her hips a bit, pretending to try and get comfortable and making her nice round ass brush against Dredgen pelvis
"Comfortable, Dredgen?" Olga asked innocently
Dredgen lets out an annoyed sigh she is purposely doing that! "You're enjoying this are you?"
"I am." Olga chuckled she places her hand over his.
Right...Chloe are you okay. Dredgen asks feeling her arms around his stomach.
I'm fine Human. The Handmaiden answer sounding very disgruntled by the situation
"Good then. Dredgen gripping tight on the reins and whipped. Let's get a move on!"
The horse right away began moving toward they'll reach to the White Citadel quicker now than on foot but for our Mandalorian, it will be a long one. Because well he has 2 sexy dark elves sandwiched between him. Olga with her ass against him and Chloe's breast rubbing against his back.
Dredgen has been trained to keep his urges in check but after a few hours of riding together jumping up and down and such. Even he will show some reaction especially down there. Thankfully his armor was able to help from Olga noticing what was pressing up from behind her and not letting the Handmaiden well perhaps kill him if her Queen noticed it.
But they're not in the clear yet they still have a dangerous long trip back.
A few days have passed and to their luck, the 3 haven't encountered any problems. They were slowly drawing near the border that they were able to see vegetation, trees and soon the blue sky now it was kinda relieving for them to see it. They managed to cross the border and Dredgen doubts Vault would be still chasing them this far
It was midday maybe in the late afternoon but after riding a bit into a forest the horse suddenly became frightened it lets out a scream refusing to keep moving forward
"Whoa whoa..easy there." Dredgen calming the horse.
What's wrong?
"Something is spooking the horse."
The Mandalorian and Dark Elves looked around to see what was the cause but didn't spot anything out of the ordianly. The horse still refuses to move even when Dredgen tries to make her go regardless. Whatever it is it has to be near and they have to deal with it the 3 got off the horse
"You 2 stay near the horse," .Dredgen said to the Dark Elves.
"What? Dredgen are you sure it's wise for you to check it alone? Olga asks, sounding concerned
"Yes. I need Chloe to keep you safe if anything were to happen."
Hmph. Chloe let's out an amused laugh "It seems you've forgotten that I'm her Handmaiden and will do anything for her safety"
"I didn't...That's why I'm trusting you on this."
Chole ears perked up hearing that she didn't say anything back and turned her head away from him. Olga was still unsure but she sighed and agreed
"Very well but be careful Dredgen"
With a nod Dredgen walked to a small open field of the forest he had 1 sword out. The Mandalorian examines the area carefully whatever is spooking the horse is close; it could be a large animal or perhaps a pack of bandits.
…
…
!
Within a split moment Dredgen was able to react he turned to his side he raised his vambrace to defend himself just as a large creature tackled him to the ground knocking his sword away
Dredgen! The Dark Elves cried in horror to see what tackled him. It was a Blood Wolf different from an ordinary wolf. This particular type is born in dark magic having black fur and dark red eyes like the color blood. It's larger, more ferocious, and relentless
The Blood Wolf biting hard on Dredgen vambraces he can feel the force of it that its sharp teeth are denting his armor.
Dredgen had to get this beast off of him quickly before its big bite rips off his arm! He jabs at its snout with his other hand but it just made it more aggravated.
The Mandalorian with quick thinking whipped out his flamethrower. The sudden burst of flames made the Blood Wolf release Dredgers arm for its jaw. It backed away from him just as Dredgen swayed his flamethrower to give him some distance.
He continued using his flamethrower vambrace as he got up to his feet until his flamer suddenly began to flicker and the flamethrower just stopped working
The Bounty Hunter looks at his damaged vambrace "Really?"
Dredgen didn't have time to whine about it. He looked at the Blood Wolf and was shocked to see one here on the other side of the border. Blood Wolves are native to the wasteland and would never venture outside of it. What's it doing here? Was it stalking them from a distance? He's unsure but the Mandalorian knows how dangerous this creature is.
Dredgen doesn't know if he can kill such a beast; he had heard stories that a single Blood Wolf could fight against a group of high ranking Shield Knights and still be a problem for them
The Dark Elves looked in shock as they knew they have to help the Bounty Hunter otherwise he wouldn't stand a chance alone against such a beast. Chole without any thought in her mind pulled out her daggers and was about to aid him
"No! Stay back Chole!" Dredgen shouted before she could take a step. "Keep Olga safe!"
Dredgen looked back at the Blood Wolf as it was growing and it paced back and sides stared at other each
…
...
Dredgen making the first move he quickly drew his flintlock and fired but the Blood Wolf dodged it! This surprised the Mandalorian he fired again but again the Blood Wolf dodged it. The beast lets out a raging howl and charges at him.
The Bounty Hunter slowly backed away as he continued to fire his flintlock hoping to get a hit but the Blood Wolf was fast and it was getting closer to him!
The Blood Wolf jumps and strikes with it's razor-sharp claws at Dredgen. The force of it sent him flying into a tree hard he fell on the ground not moving
"Dredgen!" The Dark Elves cried in horror fearing the worst that happened but they should be worried about that now as The Blood Wolf then turns its sights on them
Chole got a chill to her spine; she had never faced a Blood Wolf before even her Queen couldn't tame one with her dark magic but she had to try.
The Blood Wolf lets out a howl and charges at them. Chole ready her daggers to protect her mistress but before it could get close it felt a tether of rope around its neck. The Dark Elves surprised they look behind the beast to see the Mandalorian back up on his feet holding the wolf back
"Get away from them!" Dredgen shouted
The Bounty Hunter pulled the rope with all his might to keep it away from them but the large beast had better strength than him. The Blood Wolf whipped back pulling Dredgen towards itself. It slashed it claws against the Mandalorian chest knocking him back again
Dredgen rolled onto the ground hard when he came to stop. He let out a groan from the pain from the Blood Wolves attack. He slowly managed to sit up. Dredgen noticed his chest armor was severely damaged; it had 3 massive claw marks across from it
The Blood Wolf stared at the wounded warrior. Dredgen staring back at him should've known better to face a Blood Wolf alone. This beast is fast and strong as much he doesn't want to admit it, this is his loss and he knows this is the end for him. He lost his sword and flintlock, his vambraces will do little no help to him and his armor is damaged another hit to will surely kill him
All he had left was his dagger with one final effort Dredgen pulled out it and he pointed the blade at the beast making his last stand. This Blood Wolf is gonna kill him but he'll at least die with a weapon in his hand like a warrior. The Mandalorian didn't move from his spot he lowers his head preparing for his end
The Blood Wolf lets out a raging howl and charges at him
…
…
After a brief moment of silence Dredgen didn't feel again to him he then heard the blood wolf growling but sounded closer this time.
The Bounty Hunter lifted up his head and was in shock to see what's happening. The Blood Wolf was inches away from him but it was unable to move. He noticed on the ground a dark glyph. He turned his head to Olga who was using her magic to bind the Blood Wolf but she was struggling to keep it up. Her Handmaiden was also shocked to see her Queen pushing herself to save him
The Mandalorian knew she couldn't keep it up forever, he took this opportunity; The Bounty Hunter struggled, but slowly got up and approached the Blood Wolf as it continued to struggle to break free from the Dark Queens hold; Dredgen then slowly lodges his dagger into the beast's neck delivering the killing blow.
At that very moment, Olga let go of her glyph the Blood Wolf fell dead onto the ground. She and Dredgen fell on to their knees both exhausted and out of breath.
"Lady Olga!" Chole immediately went up to her mistress who was sweating a lot "Are you okay!
"I'm...I'm fine, Chole" Olga assured, trying to catch her breath the Dark Queen looked at the Mandalorian " but you should check on Dredgen instead of me."
Chloe turns her head to Dredgen who was in a worse state than her queen. She couldn't believe how far this Bounty Hunter has done for her and her Queen. First he helped them escape from Vaults Kuroinu before both becoming sex slaves, he gave them his only food when they are hungry and now this.
The Handmaiden at first thought meeting this Mandalorian will be the same as any mercenary or bounty hunter she has encountered before. The type who only cares about money but Dredgen didn't he seemed more honorable even more than the Shield Knights. Chloe slowly seems to understand why her Queen has high respect for the Mandalorians that without know herself felt a small pang.
"Hu- Dredgen are you okay? Chole asks coming to him she even offers a hand to him
The Mandalorian still in a daze took the handmaiden's hand without knowing it was her ". Y-Yes I'll...I'll live"
Chole put his arm over her shoulder and helped him to her queen. The Handmaiden sets him down near Olga.
After a moment of rest, the Bounty Hunter regain his senses and breath he looked at Olga and Chloe
"T-thank you...both of you."
"You shouldn't be thanking me" Chloe said turning her head away with his arms crossed "My Queen was the one who saved you. You should be grateful that she did!
"I am...but still I should thank you as well Chloe...you did well."
Chole ears again perked up this time it was a little red
Olga still catching her breath smiled at the Mandalorian in relief "I couldn't just stand by and let that beast kill you. I'm glad you are okay Dredgen."
Dredgen chuckled a little by that "Hmph...being saved by the Dark Queen the one I thought I was supposed to capture and protect.
With the Blood Wolf slayen it was just about to get dark. The 3 decided to set up camp to rest and let Dredgen recover from his wounds. They got lucky with it but on the next day will likely become more interesting for all of Eostia
(Author Note!)
And Done! Dredgen,Olga, and Chole have crossed the border to the Shield Kingdom and are away from Vault and his bastards. Nice!
A lot has happened in this chapter. We got a view of Dredgens past and at how he became a Mandalorian similar to Din and well his signet has also been revealed too. It seems fitting for our Mandalorian Bounty Hunter and this story.
I will confirm this he will have a Beskar Jetpack instead of hover boots
I'm wanna do something nice for my readers. If any of you have an Oringal Side-Character of your own you want to add in my fanfic I'm open to taking some.
Rules: NO Jedi and Sith because this is a Mandalorian story in a medieval theme world!
Remember it's a SIDE CHARACTER they won't get a lot of attention they will in a way help build the story so don't give me an entire backstory of them.
Doesn't have to be a Star Wars theme side character it could be a Kuroinu one. They could be a Shield Knight, spy, assassin or thief be creative!
Also it doesn't have to a Side Character could be a villain too! Be creative on this one! Could be a Merc Commander or traitorous Sheild Knight!
Private Message me the details of your Orginal Side Character or Villian and if I like it I'll message you back!
