Pongoku Jidai{Warring States} (NSFW ANTHRO/HUMAN VIOLENCE)

@Jinx  
(okay)  
The other bandits ran off frighetned by the large dragoness.
 
@Cerebrate19  
“No but only they’d be so bold as to facilitate an abduction of the royal family.” Ebon frowned as the two girls hugged him.
 
 
@Dono & M.Storm  
“Could she have allied herself to one of the Daiamyo?” A servant asked tending to his lady.

@Tearval  
she turned to the ones the bandits were talking to
 
{Have they been giving trouble? And if so, why?}

@Tearval  
“That is a worrisome probability, but I hope not. Come on, we have to warn the neighboring clan.”

@Tearval  
“perhaps…”
 
he kneeled down and began to chirp ou a melody, hoping to calm the sisters down, Oda’s one lacking skill was with children or other easily intimidated ponies.

@Jinx  
{Yes but only since the daiymo turned stopped the patrols. The land here is very good for growing crops so why bother farming when you can just take it?} The elderly stallion spoke up in her language.
 
@Dono & M.Storm  
They nodded and followed her lead
 
 
@Cerebrate19  
Ebon thanked Tokugawa for his kindness and smiled a little as Luna clung to him instinctivly. “Should I be worried about you two becoming uncle?”  
Ebon jested before a soldier came with a report.

@Tearval  
She lead them back into the shrine and they go to a room off towards the left. In that room were lighted candles that the wax slowly burned from the small bits of flames. She said a prayer before going to leave the shrine with them.

@Tearval  
“oh, we would be honored.”
 
Oda: “your report, soldier?”

@Tearval  
{In my society we dont allow it. Theres always a bigger dragon who will happily eat you. So i offer as a favor if needed to go and deal with these pests.}

@Dono & M.Storm  
They followed her ready to give their lives in her service.
 
@Cerebrate19  
“My lords, from the few we captured it’s evident that the Blubloods didn’t act alone.” He reported
 
 
@Jinx  
{We would be most grateful my lady.}

@Tearval  
she gave a nod, headed out to catch and interogate a raider

@Tearval  
“they managed to form an alliance too then, that offers us opportunities as well.”

@Tearval  
They take up horses and go to travel to the neighboring clan that’s just a bit of ways from them.

@Jinx  
Little did she know a shinobi loyal to a supporter of Blueblood started to shadow her
 
 
@Cerebrate19  
Ebon nodded and thanked the soldier for the repot  
“So it seems there is no going back now.”
 
 
@Dono & M.Storm  
As they rode both shinobi of the royal court and those opposing them followed with differing goals

@Tearval  
with the day winding down to an end she made camp, her sword collapsing into itself to create a shortsword that fit into a clip on her lower back, above her tail

@Tearval  
“it was going to come to a head eventually, we will be ready.”

@Jinx  
The shinobi watched her silently wanting to see exactly why his masters sent him to recruit her
 
 
@Cerebrate19  
“Yes. And by the looks of things the country is literally split in half”  
Ebon stated the obvious on the maps showing that the southern regions had formed a ‘coalition’ against them

@Tearval  
“those regions offer few metal, are not big producers… and trade has ground to a halt since the war began… what were they thinking?”

@Tearval  
she sniffed the air, (like a deathclaw from follout would) trying to sniff out the presence watching her
 
{I know you are there, i can smell you…if you would enjoy life rather than death by my hand i urge you to reveal yourself}

@Cerebrate19  
“It’s confusing. The only thing of use down there is the sightings of those odd ships”
 
 
@Jinx  
The changeling dropped from the tree and bowed  
{Apologies but I had to follow orders from my masters}

@Tearval  
{Your orders risk your life near to a dragon. Sit, i will get us something to drink}
 
she had a small bag with her, presumably to hold her herbs and whatnot, that she was digging into with three fingers, pinching out ground tea leaves and sprinkling them into a set of cups

@Tearval  
Tokugawa: “odd ships you say… that might imply outside help.”

@Jinx  
They nodded and patiently waited for her
 
 
@Cerebrate19  
“Yes though they don’t stay in port very long.”

@Tearval  
“just long enough to unload their cargo?”

@Tearval  
{So tell me, what is it your masters want?}
 
she had begun making the tea now, though in a draconic recipe meant for the hearty

@Cerebrate19  
“Yes. Seems as though they are only interested in trade..”  
Ebon examined the map again and tapped the lands towards the west.  
“What of the Dragons?”
 
 
@Jinx  
{They wish to discuss a contract with you}
