" They won't like a warder entering there lands." Athena sighed " I'll have to go with Barthy and deal with them myself."

"You'll need help. I can promise help from the Rangers of Baha, the Trackers of Valhalla, and the Hunters of Haafingar Mountains. "he said.

" I'll be fine I know that trail well enough." Athena stretched " I'll pack and leave first thing in the morning."

"I'm going with you. "he said.

" Oh no I'll have a hard enough time getting them to do anything. they'll say no as soon as they see you." Athena shook her head " I can handle myself around lechers."

"I happen to need to see them myself. "he said to her.

"Our funeral." Athena chuckled. She went off to pack humming the death march.

Mordecai had two Stallions brought to them. "Here you go. "He said.

Athena had one hand a soft gray horse. Barthy took the stallion " Thanks." he winked at him " Just what I was hoping for lunch." he licked his lips.

"Okay. "He said, following Athena.

Athena kept to the trail all night resting when the horse slowed. " We'll camp here then travel the rest tomorrow."

Mordecai plopped down, quickly making a campsite. His Camp made it look almost liveable. Then again, living in a Forest did that to you. Mordecai laid down on a bed of leaves. "So......what's your plan, Archon?" he asked.

" Dress like whore and hope they listen." Athena said bluntly making Barthy choke on the water eh had been sipping.

"Hmmm.......We could be like the Mongol's, and say 'Join us, or we Leave you to die'. "he said. Xhast Raised a Glass to him, and patted Barthy's back.

" Won't work there more powerful then I am and there demons are well not very nice is a way to put it." Athena sighed " Best way is threw there pants."

"Then why not just Summon a Succubus?" he asked, pulling out a vial, and pouring it in a pot. He then added some grounded leaves. After that, he grabs a bit of dirt, and sprinkles it over the pot.

Athena made a face " Because they posses the body of the summoner." she shook her head " Lord knows I don't want that...and if its a boy its worse."

"That's why you use an Artificial being. "He said. You forgot this guy had studied Demonology. "Loop-hole in the law, They can only possess the Summoner. If the Summoner was A Construct, well.....nuff said. "he said. He had added a small bone to the mix, in the pot, and poured minced rat guts inside. He then added the feather of a hawk, and the blood of a toad.

" I don't like succubus." Athena admitted " Besides those lechers only have eyes for mage girls."

"Why not just kill them off?"he said. "I do need them to fight this war, but still, they sound rather stupid. "He said.

" There the most powerful mages that live." Athena sighed " You would have more luck moving a mountain with your bare hands then you would killing them."

Mordecai tossed something to her. it was an Arch-Mage Medallion. "Arch-Mage Tavis. He tried to harvest animals for his grisly experiments, so I killed him. "he said.

" Tavis was an idiot." Athena sighed " And the only one stupid enough to let someone kill him." she shook her head " Go to sleep." she tossed the medallion at him curling up on her bed.

Mordecai gave her a vial. "This will put a shroud around you. That demon won't be able to go near you, for 24 hours. "he said.

" I don't need it with my necklace on." Athena took the vial " Besides Barthy is here." she said drifting off.
