A much needed break.

"Ahhhh...." you groan out as you slide off your tiger, your body swaying a bit as you finally touch the ground for the first time in many hours. You step forward towards the river, kneeling down by the bank and grabbing a fistful of water, splashing it into your face to clean off the dust and sweat that coated you. "So refreshing..."

Ashe just plops down on the ground, falling to her back, looking straight up up in the sky as she lets out a few groans herself, her body obviously sore from the long march.

"Okay warriors." you turn "Spread the word behind you, spread out on the river! Drink, eat, sleep and rest. We will stay here until the Sun has reached the highest point in the day again. After that, we will continue our journey south. That gives us..." you estimate the best you can "anywhere from eight to ten hours before we need to leave. Enjoy that time. Soak your bodies to help with the aches, hydrate your bodies well and rest up!" you turn around, thinking that's all you wanted to say. "Oh wait, and one more thing. Please no fucking in the river!" you laugh, causing many others to let out chuckles and giggles as well.

As warriors pass the news to people behind them, you see much of your army start to spread out down the Turth river, setting up little camps along the way, all of them happy to finally able to rest.

You walk up to three trees which are in a triangular section next to the river. "This will do..." you think as you pull a bunch of woven strings from a bag. "Care to help, Ashe?" you look at your High Commander.

"Huh?" She looks at you "Are those...hammocks?" she questions.

"Better than sleeping on the ground I'm guessing."

"Oh my god, yes please." Ashe has a little more joy in her step now as she helps you tie the hammocks around the trees.

After they are both tied up, you sit down in one, testing it first to make sure it's tied great. After a little bouncing, you then lean back into it, the hammock almost wrapping around you completely like a spider web. You start to slowly rock a little bit..."Ahhhh!!!" you let out a pleasure filled moan.

Ashe does the same thing, almost immediately jumping into her hammock which is next to yours, she immediately starts swinging as well. "You're the best...I was just going to lean against a tree."

"Can't have my high commander sleeping on the ground!" you say as you continue to rock back and forth, looking up into the sky.

You and Ashe just continue swinging back and forth for quite awhile, not saying a word to each other, just enjoying the silence for the time being.

"Hey Darien" a somewhat familiar feminine voice echos in your ear "Mind if we lay here with you?"

You swing your legs out of your hammock and look towards the voice that was asking "Oh, Hey Neira and Estra. How are my two Sunrider's doing?"

"Tired." Neira replies, stretching her long arms into the air, bending her back as much as she can, producing a crack or two as she groans out.

You forgot how gorgeous Neira was. That slightly taller, blonde haired, mile long legged Sunrider. Watching her stretch her body out was quite exhilarating.

"Yeah, long journey." Estra, the shorter brunette replies with a chuckle, causing the otherwise petite Sunrider's huge DD chest to jiggle with attention.

"Well here!" you jump to your feet, walking over to the Sunriders "Let's get these cloth blankets out so you have something a little more comfortable to lay on and then we can make some food.

Ashe is quickly on her feet as well, helping you guys set down the blankets and making it a better spot.

"Well well well..." another familiar voice starts up "Oh shit! Not this group again!" a loud laugh enters your ears. "Only bad things happen when we're together!"

"Oh no..." you turn your head, seeing two top heavy Syndicate warriors walking your direction.

"I did pack some rum for the trip. Although my body may be too tired to drink!"

"Hello Sylvius, Felix." you greet your friends "How you two holding up?"

"Sore as a Sunrider's cunt after a won battle!" Sylvius laughs, causing Ashe, Neira & Estra to all just roll their eyes.

"Got room for two more?" Felix asks politely.

"Of course!" you reply. "Anything for my two favorite Syndicate warriors!" you beam a toothy smile at them.

Felix walks up to you, shaking your hand and pulling you close as he brings his mouth close to your ear "Too bad that hammock can only hold one." he whispers into you, giving your cheek a kiss as he backs away with a wink.

You just stare back at the warrior, your head nodding up and down softly. "Yeah, uhh..too bad." you smirk at him, still having no idea what he's talking about.

"Well then, let's get something to eat first." Estra starts "Then we can clean up, then rest."

Neira steps closer to you, "Yeah...rest. Or something else..." she's whispering into your ear as she basically eye fucks you.

"Either way, let's get a small fire going so we can warm up some broth. I'm starving!" you order, ignoring the Sunrider's pass at the moment.

As Felix and Sylvius set up their beds, Ashe and Neira begin to build up a small little fire while Estra wanders off to a wagon that holds food and drinks, bringing back a crate of food to cook up.

It makes you quite happy to see all these good friends of yours, working together, setting up camp, watching out for each other and generally just enjoying each others company. "Great great people..." you whisper to yourself.
