Silvertree Chronicles Bk. 09

My advice to you two ladies; enjoy him! In the morning and in the evening or one or the other. It does not matter. The thing is you will not get him to lose an erection while naked near the two of you. Keep fingers and toys away from his nether-hole, he will likely crush them.

With as thick as the skin is on the inside, it does little good. He will likely break toys given his muscle density. Not worth the risk or embarrassment of having to have a cleric brought in to try and remove it."

Mercian chuckled, "Good thing I am not into men." The ladies giggled at the image of broken or severed cocks.

Epilogue

Mercian had 31 children from his two wives; each having eight pregnancies over the years. He had to deal with killing 261 family members. Only 1 of his own children. The house shrank to less than half during this time. An increase in female births contributed. As did those who started new houses versus facing the wrath of the sword.

He died in combat at the age of 466. Both champions killed when he encountered a frost giant champion wielding a sundering vorpal sword. The first time to have a giant champion known, not counting the titan champion. Having already killed the Moon Bow blade wielder while also shattering the Moon Stone in that sword as well.

The attack on the champion destroyed his off-hand weapon and most of his other gear except his heavily enchanted armor. The Moon Blade's stone shattered from the blow; just as Moon Bow's family blade had occurred. Like his predecessor, Mercian's will ensured the blade ended up in the hands of an adult. Both blades were recovered by another champion on the field from House Silver Ring.

Early into this war cycle, the champion's death was very unexpected given his string of successes. Six months after his death the repaired but greatly weakened Moon Blade were ready.

In a break with previous wielders, the one who took up the sword was a woman named Vessan Silvertree; a battlemage Sorceress. She was not made a champion and fell in combat almost 9 years later.

The odd thing about her selection, she was infertile and only into women. In fact, her lover was infertile and wielded the Moon Bow blade that got repaired.

Whether this was shielded from the sword or the standards changed nobody new, yet. Vessan never wore the armor finding it too restrictive but left it to the next champion to decide the matter. She added Danger Warning to the blade.

She somehow added Dragon Vision, immunity to fire, immunity to mind control, and Disease immunity as well. She also restricted the blade to a single name and her younger brother. The other champion to Vandria Gilmadrith, A champion from the Silver Song line remained on the field for 12 years during this bloody conflict.

He died when all 3 of those Moon Blade Wielders fell in a single night, in a single desperate battle. The longest war of this modern era that contributed to the decline in the size of House Silvertree and many others. That is where this story continues.
