Chapter 30: Monkey Business (1)

It was early afternoon as sharp clanking sounds resonated throughout the fortress over and over again, followed by the buzzing echo of electricity. 

 

“Tsk, you became harder again.” rotated his wrist Poli, holding the sword that was shimmering in a soft blue light and sparks, while Zern standing before him, only in shorts, stood there calmly. 

 

His entire body was covered in a shining, metallic luster, like if he was a steel statue, even his hair, eyes, every part of his body was silvery. Now it was covered in hot red sword strike markings that slowly cooled down, disappearing as his skin regenerated, before exhaling, letting himself return to a normal human appearance. 

 

“Still, it’s not enough, I need my full power output to hold up against your sword, I can only sustain it for 5 minutes, tops.”

 

“But you know this sword of mine is not made from normal materials.”

 

“Yes, and we saw demonfolk block it with their bodies.”

 

“True. Still, against human weapons, you are probably invulnerable.” laughed as he sheathed his sword

 

“Don’t be so hard on yourself.” came up Isha, throwing a wet towel against Zern’s face “How’s your wound?”

 

“Completely healed. No problems.” slapped on the scar on his abdomen which was slowly disappearing a few weeks and it would be gone completely. 

 

“Good to hear.” came up Ren, while Rem was following her closely, now wearing a small, white-brown leather outfit, similar to theirs and finally Leinor arriving after the two “We have orders.”

 

“Where are we going next?”

 

“We are to meet with another Fairy tribe, Rem will be our main point of contact. Word got out and one of our outposts discovered another tribe. Eldest Brother left in advance to verify their presence and his letter arrived this morning, it’s legit he already made contact.”

 

“I’ll work hard!” added Rem happily

 

“Everyone should get ready, we will be on our way by daybreak. Any questions?”

 

Nobody said anything, only nodding, making Ren smile as she asked Rem to go and take a letter to her father and after she left, everyone knew she still had something to say, it was evident from her eyes and the only reason sending Rem away was because it’s something confidential. 

 

“It’s not the fairies, is it?” sighed Isha

 

“That part was true. But there is more. We are being played as the bait.”

 

“I fucking knew it…” held her temple with a helpless expression

 

“The Intelligence Agency lost a few men but discovered which tribe is searching and eliminating every presence of ours they come around. They are a bunch of monkeys. They are leading them to a predesignated point, the problem is, we discovered a Fairy village where we want to set the ambush. It’s a valley, 120 km north-east from here.” explained as she unfolded a small map showing the topography. “It’s surrounded by three hills, covered in thick vegetation. We planned to establish an “outpost” there and make it seem we have people stationed down in the valley and bury the monkeys as they enter, but we found out it was populated by fairies.”

 

“How many?” 

 

“Around 200.”

 

“Ouch…” smacked his lips Poli

 

“Yes. Feynor already arrived at the scene starting the negotiation, but the fairies understandably are still not trusting towards us. We go there with Rem and make them leave. Preferably as soon as possible.”

 

“We get it, what about the bait part?”

 

“We will act then as the scouting party for the garrison. We will lure the monkeys in.”

 

“Sounds dangerous. I like it.”

 

“Hah!” smirked Ren at Poli’s words “Stop it maverick. We ain’t going there to fight. The intel says they are composed of only evolved warriors, numbering around two dozen.” 

 

“Double Fuck…” cursed Isha, looking more and more annoyed 

 

“Our job is not to fight but to lead. We will maintain a safe distance, leave enough trace so they can follow us. The main force of the battle will compromise the Emperor and my Father and Mother at the helm.”

 

The announcement made everyone stunned, except Leinor who was with Ren when they received the briefing. 

 

“Will we see the Emperor fight?” 

 

“Yes. This will be a show of force and complete annihilation of the enemy. The Imperial Guards will take the field personally. It will also be my first time seeing this many Harmony Realm fighters duke it out. So everyone should feel lucky. It will be a great experience to see them fight and it will give us inspiration on how to approach our breakthroughs.”

 

“What about Rem?”

 

“We will protect her. She doesn’t need to know about this and she will leave with the other group of fairies. It’s best not to stress her mind with it, also this is a strict “need to know only” operation. We go, complete what we are told to and follow orders from the higher ups. We can’t screw up the overall plan. Got it?”

 

“Yes Sir!” answered in unison, followed by the sighing voice of Isha

 

“Good. Also, if I remember correctly...” said with a sly smile “I won the previous bet with the wasps… so when we go home… be prepared~”

 

“I object. We didn’t have the time to round up the numbers correctly!” stood out Isha with a provoking gaze 

 

“I hear you, I hear you. Tell you what Boobies, We will hold a tiebreaker match after all this, what do you say?”

 

“I’m in mini-bitch.” grinned widely 

 

“Nice, looking forward to it! Now disperse! Eat your dinners, go to sleep early!”

 

After everyone left only she and Leinor stayed atop the walls as she leaned forward at the edge, watching towards the horizon.

 

“Is something bothering you?” leaned next to her Leinor

 

“Yes.”

 

“Tell me.” said as he gently stroke her silver, long hair, now worn in a ponytail 

 

“I’m still a virgin.”

 

“Ugh!?” 

 

“Ouch! Don’t pull my hair! Or if you are into it, then sure but be more gentle!” giggled as her head almost yanked backwards by the reaction of Leinor

 

“S-sorry. That came out of nowhere.”

 

“Gotcha. You let your guard down. It was an easy score, you’ve been sloppy lately~” laughed, looking up at him, grabbing onto his shirt, pulling down so as she tiptoed, so she could kiss his lips “Be a man already and strike first, you got used to me taking the lead eh? I spoiled you rotten~” whispered as their lips separated 

 

“It’s just not appropriate here. We are at the army and we have ranks-” but he couldn’t continue as Ren sealed his lips again with hers 

 

“Shut it. We are alone now. Let me enjoy the moment…”

 

…

….

…..

 

“You are pretty fast Rem.” laughed Ren, landing next to the little fairy who stopped on a tree branch, picking a ripe peach down and biting into it with a happy face and her reddish wings quickly fluttered, releasing beautiful pixie dust all over the air, signaling her enjoyment of the early dinner

“I like flying in between the trees, it’s fun!” replied happily, holding up the fruit to her so she could also take a bite “It’s yummy, isn’t it Big Sis?” laughed happily 

 

“Yup, it is!” said while taking a small bite out of the juicy fruit held up by the smiling new sister of hers

 

“Big Sis huh? And where is she big exactly?” arrived Isha, scanning Ren up and down and soon the others caught up too.

 

“Hmf, mind your own business Boobies. Let me enjoy the moment!”

 

“Ahahaha, okay, okay, I won’t take this from you, kid.”

 

“Ugh… you…” shook her head “Are we close?”

 

“By our designated route, we are getting closer.” said Leinor, checking his compass 

 

“We are!” nodded Rem “I can smell the other's scent!”

 

“You do?”

 

“Uhum! When we fly we leave a trail so the little ones can find us and come back if they wander around! I smell the scent of another fairy who was here a few days ago! They have a nice smell! Really nice!” hopped around from one leg to another while finishing the peach, throwing the seed out, far away, so it could find a place to grow into a tree one day. “This way!”

 

Following the small, plump, little joyball soon they arrived at a pretty steep and high hill. Looking down from the top, they could see a valley that had old ruins, maybe some kind of old, logging town, grown all over with vegetation and hundreds of colorful flowers. They saw the  group of Feynor who were already here, camping at the entrance of the valley, while a lot of small butterflies were fluttering in the air, around their evolved parents. 

 

“Pretty nice…” murmured Zern 

 

“Isn’t it? Isn’t it?” clapped happily Rem and soon she flown down to meet them 

 

“Sadly this place will be bathed in blood soon. Let’s move out, the earlier we can send them away the better.” sighed Ren in a calm voice then raced downwards, after Rem

 

At first they greeted Feynor while Rem did her own introduction to the other Forest Fairies who were very welcoming to their brethren and especially curious at never before seen clothes she wore and how she got something like this. 

 

“Eldest Brother.” greeted Leinor while Feynor just smiled at them 

 

“Good to have all of you here. Hopefully this time everything will go smoothly.”

 

“Please, don’t jinx it.” grimaced Ren

 

“Ahaha, what, are you superstitious perhaps?”

 

“What can go wrong, goes wrong.” commented, shaking her head with a sour expression 

 

“I never knew you were that kind of girl Ren, hmm…” murmured, amused by her reaction “Soon you will tell me you believe in gods. The old faith is still present but less and less people follow it.”

 

“Old faith?” whispered because it was only old in the perspective of theirs but to her it was pretty new “I don’t care about it but about Gods... I do believe in the existence of powerful individuals who to us may seem like gods. But not in the omnipotent, everpresent kind.”

 

“Interesting. I think we need a good night's talk once we get back to the capital.”

 

“Sorry, I’m already taken.”

 

“Ahahaha, I start to see why Leinor is so infatuated with you!” laughed as he slapped on her shoulders

 

“How’s the evacuation going?”

 

“Not good. They won’t leave. They are distrusting and I can’t blame them, we just show up one day, scaring the living daylight out of them and then say, they need to move, right now, hell, I would’ve-”

 

“Okay, they are going!” came Rem’s laughing voice as she flew back with three other fairies in tow who were also the epitome of curvy, ripe goddesses in the color of green, pink and blue, with sparkling wings behind their backs, wearing only leaves, looking a bit scared and apologetic at the same time 

 

“What…?” blinked Feynor, almost not believing his ears 

 

“I told them how you saved our lives and what’s coming here, they don’t want to get eaten by them so they said they are willing to follow us out! Why?” blinked with confusion, because this is why they came, not understanding Feynor’s befuddlement. 

 

“Get used to it. They are too pure for our thoughts.” whispered Ren to Feynor 

 

“I see that…” nodded but soon he gently bowed towards the other fairies “Thank you for listening to us.”

 

“No, no, no! W-we need to thank you… if… if not, we would’ve been massacred!” replied the pink colored fairy with a sweet, charming voice 

 

“We didn’t know humans were this kind!”

 

“Um, they are!” nodded Rem proudly “Where are we going?” asked then as she never knew the next part, looking questioningly at Ren

 

“The safest place is back the way we came. Do you remember the route?”

 

“Sure!” 

 

“Good. Then help them arrive there, the Pass is already prepared for their arrival. From there they can either stay with us under protection, we have places in our empire for them to inhabit or take up residence near somewhere in the forest where we will be able to quickly help out if trouble arrives. It’s their decision we won’t force them to choose. That was my Father’s orders.”

 

“Mm.” nodded Feynor approvingly as it was his own suggestion to his father and it seemed they took heed. 

 

“Okay! Then let’s go Big Sis!”

 

“No, only you, we stay.”

 

“Eh? Why? I-its dangerous!”

 

“We know. But don’t worry, we stay because we will catch some monkeys to play with. Relax Rem.” laughed as she patted the now teary eyed little fairy. “Everything will be fine!”

 

Clearly the others too, shocked, looked at them worryingly not knowing why anyone would want to stay and fight, possibly die. 

 

“Relax Puffy.” said Isha, patting Rem’s butt “It will be over and done, we will be back in a day or two~”

 

“Y-you sure? You will, won’t you? Promise you will! You must!” said while flying all over them asking with a trembling voice 

 

“We will. Promise.” nodded Leinor, smiling at her when she flew up to him.

 

Rem wanted to say something but soon she just wiped her tears and nodded rapidly.

 

“Um! You will! I’ll wait for you!” she tried to seem confident but still was on the verge of tears before leading the army of butterflies away as they disappeared in the trees like they never were here

 

“Adorable.” sighed Poli looking after them “They are full of love. I have never seen anybody act like this before.”

 

“I wonder how many other tribes are in the forest who are like them. Well, if word gets out we may see them.” thought out loud Feynor 

 

“We will see when that happens. We should get ready!” cut in Ren 

 

“Mmm, let’s clear up the valley and set up a “base” as quick as we can.” grinned Feynor as they started to build up a mock garrison to get ready for the upcoming hunt.
