?Take all these letters and make sure they get there as fast as you can and you come straight back here boys and I mean it this time! There are things going on that you know nothing about right now. Slavers are loose and from what Sid said there is gang wars going on in the West End and on the docks too! Just get the letters out and get your hides back to the Inn!!? Des gave the youths lined up before her each stern looks and a silver each before sending them on their way.

Not one of them were going out alone today. Each was paired with one of the street savvy urchins that could be found at any given time outside the Inn looking to make a coin or two. The bar tender had hand-picked the most reliable of the lot and sent them out with her errand runners.

The first was going to Victor Walsh. This packet had two letters in it because one never knew which one was going to get the mail there.

Dear Etten,

Leave me alone or you will be sorry!

Sincerely Des

Dear Victor,

I need a little help with a situation at the Inn. There is someone that needs your unique talents to watch over them. They are friends of mine and if you have the time I would really appreciate it if you could spend a little more time of an evening and night in the Inn.

Sincerely Des

The next packet was going to a very, very old friend. Well known in Slaver circles for years now and someone that Tara knew well herself.

Dear Anubis,

I?m having a little problem with an upstart Slaver and wondered if you would mind stopping over by the Inn to help out a couple of dragon friends of mine? I doubt you would have any trouble with this scum sucking toad of a wanna be. He actually had the nerve to threaten me a while back, something that I highly respect you for never doing Darlin?.

He has tried to terrorize me by pulling this Sith Lord talking in my mind stuff but you know me Darlin? I just repeat it out loud for God and everybody to hear so I ain?t gonna let him get away with that trick.

I?ve always liked you Anubis. You ain?t never done me wrong. I?d really appreciate your help with this since you understand the way these things work better than I do.

Sincerely Des

The third was going to another very, very old friend. A Baron Dragon Lord that had an entire Island of Dragon?s at his command.

Dear Tass,

The scum sucking toad has now threatened your sister and her new boyfriend. You may want to see if you can find the time to come to the Inn in the evenings and help me to protect her a little bit better. By the way. Her new boyfriend that I think she is most definitely going to mate with is named Aurthur and he is a very handsome mercenary dragon. Quite charming and very smitten with your sister!

Luv Des

The fourth..........

Talomar,

Come as soon as you can!

The letter had arrived through the flames and landed to his desk. He had known that it would be coming, but did not expect it so soon.

He took a final look out the window over the land that had just recently been ravished by war, and sighed. The land was healing, but slowly. He would have to spend a little time, shortly, in fixing this problem.

Turning, he moved to the desk and took a seat behind it, lifting the letter. He read over it once, and nodded. Des, even though she had made her choice with another, was still one that he would protect. She was part of his treasure. Perhaps it was time that he explained things to her.. perhaps..

After giving the letter a final look, he gave a snap of his fingers, and set the parchment on fire. He watched as it burned down into his fingers, and finally guttered there.

He would start making more of an appearance than he had at the Inn. It was Topaz's district, but it was his friends. The Baroness wouldn't mind that he was intruding into her domain... not much.

Count Longden was working at his desk, reviewing S.E.C.T.O.R. account receivables when a servant came to him with a letter. He took it and dismissed the servant. The letter read:


Talomar,

Come as soon as you can!

Des

He just grinned the kind of grin that came just before he destroyed someone.

Tera Destre was a good friend of his wife, and although Tara didn't care for Des' husband, he found nothing wrong with the French pirate. He would come to her, and if she were in trouble, there'd be hell to pay - literally. Besides, it was time to put his two Vampire Lords, the commanders of armies, to work.

He took a sheet of parchment and wrote:

Dear Des,

I will be there when you need me.

Count Talomar

He sealed the envelope and had a servant immediately deliver it.

He then went back to work.
