You don't get the chance

Before you are able to make your escape with your long-lost friend the world suddenly starts spinning and no matter how much you try to focus, it is not getting any better, if anything things are dimming at an alarming pace. Grabbing futilely for the overturned cart the last thing you see is the look of concern on Eudora's face before you topple; her screams are loud enough to get the attention of everyone around you. As you hit the ground the last fading sounds you hear is Captain Caderos shouting orders before the world turns to black.

By the time you wake up you are no longer where you were. The hard paving stones of the street have been replaced with a plush nest of pillows and the dirty stone of the the city's buildings is now soft cloth walls of Heliopolis make. The large cloth door to your right bears the image of a golden four-horse chariot, the symbol of the Heliopolis army.

The area outside the tent is clearly busy as you can hear the sounds of a hundred men and many women some talking some openly fucking and some fighting as well. From this even your tired mind can tell you are in the middle of the United Army's camp where they are coordinating the attack on the city from. How you got here is a mystery but then someone enters the tent, and it explains perhaps some of what happened when you passed out.

"Oh good, you're awake - I was thinking I would have another opening in my squad faster than I thought." A laughing voice gets your attention as the flap to the tent opens up and there stands Captain Caderos "I'm impressed, even in the condition you were in you managed to not only fight and kill Marcus but to give that **** you picked out a proper fucking like that? You're gonna go far Adonis" he states giving you a casual salute "don't have many men who could do that in the condition you were in. Looks like you haven't had a good meal in months, like I said - very impressive." Through the fog of your mind, you remember something important, the whole reason that you came here!

Sitting up quickly in bed almost makes you fall over again and you clutch your head, the pounding of your brain reminding you to take it easy, which lets you calm down and respond in a way that doesn't expose anything your trying to hide "Where is my....****?" even though the word stings although for some reason it's not as bad as you thought when you remember the looks Eudora was giving you whilst you claimed her.

Caderos just laughs "Spoiling for more huh? Can't blame you Adonis, you have good taste - but I would take it easy." He points to the other side of the tent and that's when your haze-filled mind spots her; she's as naked as she was when you had her although now, she has wrought iron shackles encircling each slender wrist. She's sleeping if the gently rising and falling of her plump breasts is anything to go by and in spite of your efforts you must have reacted in some way because the gruff captain lays his hand on your arm. "Take it easy soldier, I made sure your property wasn't touched by the others. You claimed her and as far as I'm concerned, she's yours till you die, or decide to sell her pretty little ass." The soldier's coarse words are a grim reminder of Eudora's precarious position, and you silently swear to the gods to make sure that will never happen. Caderos, you could tell, was a hardened veteran used to capturing women as plunder and selling them like animals, though you can respect the captain a bit since he looked out for you by keeping Eudora safe.

"Now relax Adonis. We got three days leave from the fight for our part in bringing down the drake wires. Seems the bastard Athenians have made some kind of push back and the fucking Generals are insisting we reinforce our gained ground, so we are going to have some time to recover before we take the citadel. Anyways," he finished with a wave at a table piled with food and drink "Eat, drink and fuck as much as you want, I want to see you with some meat on those bones when we go." Oddly enough you raise your hand in a salute in response to the unexpected command which doesn't shock you nearly as much as Caderos' approving grin.

"Hey ****!" he yells waking Eudora from her sleep with a sharp smack to her pale thigh "Your master's up. Make sure he gets what he wants." The officer leaves the tent the door flapping behind him and once she is sure he is gone Eudora quickly sits up, her motion halted by the ring of metal around her wrist.

You smile uncertainly " Eudora I..." you start but your words are cut off as she assumes the position of a **** and lowers her head to the tent floor.
