Chapter 20 Incursion Part 2

Apprentice to one, Hero to all.

Will woke up to see Cyclonia lying on his lap sleeping, he heard the morning rooster. I can't move without waking her...

Will decided it might be just best to stay as is and watch the sunrise. He noticed a cloak no, a ranger's cloak on Cy.

"That looks like Halt's" Will muttered under his breath.

By the time the sun was beginning to warm up the surroundings, Cyclonia stirred. "Erg...where am...i?"

She opened her eyes to see Will looking down at her. Then realized that her head was on his lap, she jumped up in a start. Her face red in embarrassment. Will stood up slowly and rubbed warmth in his legs, "You're a hard sleeper"

"Sorry! I just fell asleep-"

Will waved his hand, "Don't worry I fell asleep too."

She stood uneasily, then covered her eyes from the sunlight. "I got to get this dress off."

Will nodded, "And I'm going to get a great big cup of coffee, something is in the wind today."

Cyclonia puts her hands on her hips, "Excuse me? Are you mocking..me?"

Will puts his hands up in defeat, "No, I didn't mean it that way it's ju-"

Cyclonia puts up her hand to pause. "You're right, there is something in the wind."

Will glanced curiously at her, "What?"

"Something, in the...they are here! They should be beaching around past noon!"

"How do you know... I mean precise timing?"

She slowly grins at him, "Just say I'll have my fair share of fun before we start an actual battle"

Will leaned closely and whispered, "Don't let Horace, Erak or any of those heavy bashers hear you take the first hit."

She nodded slightly blushing how close he was.

Will turned on his heels, "Well, I wasn't joking about the coffee however."

Ooo

"Alright guys, the en-" Will barged into the room where Halt, Horace and the rest of the leaders were.

Halt interrupted, "Did you two have a goodnight sleep?" with a straight face.

Will casted him a baleful look. "Anyway, the enemy is going to beach a little past noon."

Gilan gave Will a letter. "This is from Picta. They say they will hold forces and withdraw from borders for us to fight them."

Will looks up, "Halt? What do you think?"

"Well..certainly this is an unexpected compromise, but the last bit." Halt pointing at the second letter.

"We have received reports all over a massive fleet with the similar flag design you shown us, landed on our land. We resort to a compromise due to this fact. You will see our forces withdrawing from the borders since there is no point in it. As soon the invasion is gotten rid of, we will resume to our previous state." Will read aloud.
