Surmic willage

Rhys is drawing a carrage holding the Queen and supplys into the mountains to fight off a band of ogres that are terrorizing a village. Hey Your majesty why did you insist that i bring you and Rhyland to the battle site ill be fine ive fought bigger and more numerous ogres many more times before

"I want us to go isn't that enough?"

"I get it but we're still going with you."

they reach the village and he grumbles under his breath in the ancient language even after kicking down the gate. the people inside are surprized that he did it let alone while drawing a carrage. they chatter about how the gate could hold up to a dragons wight if it crashed. He takes them to the mayors hut and opens the carrage to let them out after untying himself.

"Thank you."

"Okay."

he walks into the mayors hut and it looks more like a beer hall. there is alot of commotion and drinking and laughinghe jumps right in and chats with guys burlyer than him and they point at the bartender. he does over to the bartender and starts chatting with him as a drunk hits on Rehei.

She turns him down as she holds rhyland.

"aww cmon lady well have a good time." "OI LEAVE HER ALONE OR YOULL BE SENT OUT TO FEED THE OGRES" the bartender shouts like he can hear everything going on at once before talking to rhys again.

She cradled rhyland.

the bartender points at her and motions her to come over as rhys gets up and leaves the building.

She walks over.

"ive arranged for yo and your son to stay here your majesty but i need to know why you wanted to bring him here in the frist place"

"I want to stay near him."

"hmm i see so your in love with a ruffian like him HAW HAW HAW thats a knee slapper. alrighty then you can stay behind the bar aint nothing gonna get past the magic barrier there unless i want them too."

"Thank you."

anything for the monsterslayer who saved the kingdom from the dragon armies

"He did what?!"

"he fought against the dragon armies when they attacked about five years ago he and four others survived im one of them"

"Wow." She says as she holds rhyland closer.

the reason i sent for help with the ogres i they use magic that was lost to all but us survivors. i didnt realize that he was living at the castle

She starts having fantasies about rhys.

Soon after dark Rhys returns nursing several burn wounds and several more rotting wounds. Well we came to a stable agreement after a few battles but they agree to leave you and the village alone for 10% of your total yeilds of your crops and 5% of your water. "really thats less than athird of what we expected"
