This is a fantasy story set in a fictitious land and in a time of medieval sorcery. All characters depicted are 18+. Although this story is in a time where safe sex is not heard of I would always recommend the practise of safe sex.
CHAPTER 8 – The good, the bad and the ugly
Phabian is not pleased, "YOU WHAT! YOU LOST THEM?!" He bellows.
They are standing outside the shack where Phabian has caught up with them.
"Er yes sir," Rulf whimpers.
"But we did track them here," Gritch says.
"Wait a minute, this isn't your horse," Phabian says, he looks at the other horse, "neither is this one, where did you get them? And where are your horses?"
"Er, um, well.." Rulf stalls.
"They stole them sir," Gritch says.
"WHAT!" Phabian's voice booms around the forest, "How on earth did they manage to steal your horses? Never mind I don't want to know.
Phabian walks in the shack and sees the old man on the floor.
"I recognise him, he's the grandfather of the twin that Soltan's been trying to find, is the boy not here?"
"No sir, but the others had definitely been there, he was obviously helping them," Rulf says.
"How did he die?" Phabian asks.
"Er he fell and broke his neck," Rulf lies.
"You mean more like you helped him fall," Phabian says. Gritch and Rulf cringe at Phabian's perceptiveness.
Phabian looks around the shack, he sees the small sack cloth garment and picks it up. Next to him it's tiny, this clothing only looks big enough to fit a ten year old, what would Soltan want with someone so young? He knows that the boy's brother is being held at fort Holberton and decides to pay a visit.
"You two are useless, you are to accompany me to Fort Holberton where I'm placing you on guard duty. Let's see if you can't fuck this one up!" Gritch and Rulf hang their heads in shame.
"So much for a promotion," Gritch whispers to Rulf as Phabian walks out the shack.

Dawn is breaking as Sherif Carter rides along the main trail. With him is a young cadet by the name Will, a name he hated with a vengeance as his nick name at school was Will the village idiot. He is slim but that's as far as any attractiveness goes, his face is spotty, his lower jaw is receding and his top teeth protrude a little. His eyes have a sadness to them that betrays the horrible life he's had to now, his hair scruffy but short and ginger. His low self esteem is second to none, he has no friends and has never really interacted with anyone. The only good feature he has is his cock, a whopping 10 ½ inches, however no one has ever seen it except himself and at the age of 21 he is still a virgin.
Sherif Carter has only taken him on as a favour to his father who is a very good friend. All Will would do is mope around all day not wanting to do anything so his father had had enough and wanted him out of his hair.
It was all Sherif Carter could do just to tolerate the boy, he had absolutely no common sense and was useless at doing anything, including making a brew. He was reluctant to bring Will with him but back at base there is only three of them in total, him, Will and the Deputy and he knew he couldn't leave Will in charge back there.
"What's wrong with you boy? You're fidgeting around as though you've got crabs or something, have you?" Carter asks.
"No sir, it's just that I'm a bit sore," he replies.
"Sore? We've only been riding a day and your sore already?"
"Yes sir, sorry sir."
Sherif Carter pulls up his horse and Will stops along side.
"Lets take a look," Carter says as he dismounts.
"Sorry sir?" Will looks at him puzzled.
"Come one, we haven't got all day," Carter says sounding impatient.
Will dismounts not sure what the Sherif wants him to do.
"Well drop your britches then," he orders.
"Sir?" Will's heart begins to race.
