History and Threads

YE 39

Creature and an Elven warrior duel in front of a crowd.

Creature, Thaddeaus, and Mizuki confront a group of bandits on the side of a dirt road. After the engagement, Creature and Mizuki proceed to make love to each other behind a tree.

Creature engages and emerges victorious in a bar fight. An idealistic Helashio waitress, Valériane, approaches him and gives him free drinks as a reward. When the two begin conversation, Creature claims that he is a knight so that he can have sex with her. However, Valériane seeks to be trained in the martial arts by Creature and to join him on his adventures, to which Creature accepts. Immediately after the conversation, Valériane quits her job and begins her training with Creature.

A group of armed men and women approach Creature, believing him to be a knight. Valériane, still under the impression that Creature is a knight, approaches Creature, and asks if the crowd are his new bannermen. Creature affirms this, and Valériane begins to list the names of the new recruits into a database, forming a new and unofficial levy company. After sign ups are complete, an informal training session begins. Mizuki and Thaddeaus engage in a romantic duel, while Creature sets to work on organizing the logistics of the company.

While recruiting and sign-up efforts continue in the background, a large portion of the levies watch a fight between a troll and a Kodian ex-slave gladiator. The gladiator, known as Onikuma wins the fight handily. However, Valériane intervenes to stop Onikuma from killing his opponent.

At this moment, Creature approaches Onikuma and challenges him to a duel. After a few bouts of trash-talking and harassment, the fight begins. Creature emerges victorious, but Onikuma still retains his honor on account of his martial skill and valor. As the victor, Creature orders Onikuma to apologize to Valériane and to swear to his service. Onikuma relents and apologizes to Valériane, however, instead of swearing to Creature, he swears to Valériane.

Creature and Valériane make love in an isolated grove. However, they are interrupted by a Lorath messenger, who approaches them with an offer to reinforce a levy company on the order of a Viscountess. The pair accept the offer, and they begin preparations for the company to march to battle.

The first major engagement between the Azalea and the rebellion ends in a draw. The battle begun when a Nekovalkyrja messenger attempted to assassinate Sir Creature. The battle ended with heavy losses on both sides.

Valériane and Esaria Oceansong are captured in an ambush.
