Savannah, Rikki and Ember had slept well, the sun was streaming into the cabin they were sharing. Rikki had woken first the hybrid went about getting water for washing and breakfast. Not sure what would be best for the Foxtaur and Dragon girl he set about making a lot of bacon and eggs.
The Silver Stallion was days behind, them setting the food out he wondered what do to for the best. Perhaps sending a messenger bird would be good, keeping the Australian Shephered girl Freya would be worried about him he knew. He was brought out of his thinking as Savannah came into the main room.
“Good morning Rikki, ooh breakfast awesome thank you!”
“Your welcome, is there anything else you need?” questioned Rikki.
Ember walked down the stairs from the upper bedroom, she yawned softly and plopped herself down in one of the chairs near the table. She helped herself to bacon and eggs before she yawned again.
“Rough night?” questioned Savannah.
“Yeah there was a magical storm last night I felt it a lot, four hours of Phantasmagorical creatures and other things isn’t much fun for me”
“You know know we should try and find a star stone might help with that issue” commented Savannah through a mouthful of bacon and eggs.
“I doubt it would help really, it come with the package of being a dragon” answered Ember.
The three wet silent as they ate, later they would wash up and make their way out of town for sometime.

Elara looked out over the plain, a couple of houses had been erected and fully completed. The Femboy pursed his lips it didn’t seem much. Krystal Solstice the now former knight of the Gryphon looked over the houses or better cabins.
“Well it’s start I guess” said Krystal.
Farrah was around somewhere, with the Emperor missing she didn’t have a job or anyone to report to, so she had tagged along with the others. Elara’s ass had hoped she’s had wandered off. To the west was a large vein of fire stone if they traded that for the things they needed. Freeport was about three days east. This was as far as the Empire had managed to go, there was talk of huge dragon’s and demons that lived further west.
Krystal was not going into that, she’d heard stories from all over the place, tall tales traveled fast she knew. Perhaps such tales could be useful to them after all. They would have to worry about things coming from the east she supposed.
“Problem?”
“No Elara I was just thinking, oh well, it might not be as extravagant as the Imperial Palace. But it is home”
Home that was a word Elara was not use to perhaps it would work out, from what the group of Knights had heard the Empire was in the full throws of a civil war. Maybe the prejudice of their homelands could be removed here. Elara felt a lot more free here he would admit, he just had to keep an eye out for Farrah, the cougar Imperial Inspector knew all about him and would every so often take his rear end in some very rough ways. He doubted the cougar woman knew how to be gentle.
Krystal had explained they needed the cougar feline as she knew how to sell the fire stone, he’d just have to be careful around her. Given time they would find their own ways to sell the fire stone directly.
A little distance away several of the former knights where busy erecting a wooden wall. A palisade wall would have to do for now at some point Krystal hoped to use stone instead. For now two of the new settlers Krystal thought that was a better name were roaming around the area. Of course they had all in one voice voted for her to be the village leader.

“Elara?” called Krystal.
“Yes sorry I was just finishing up with the armour and what fire stones we have”
“Hello you two, everything ready?” asked Evie Artorian.
Evie a tall brown Sunbear was dressed in a purple top and skirt. She looked around and watched as the cougar woman Farrah came closer. The Sunbear and Cougar climbed up into the waiting waggon. Krystal and Elara watched as the waggon moved off, Krystal had sent Evie as she trusted her to keep Farrah under control.
“Sure we need to do this I mean all that armour was expensive” commented Elara.
“Yes, I know Elara but you cant eat armour or live under it, we need materials and others to come here, ones we can vet. I..I mean we can do without any more issues. The Empire is tearing it’s self part, I don’t want us to be part of that”
“Yeah I can understand why..we should go help the others with the wall”
“Hmm..maybe we should have looked for a mage or land sculptor” pondered Krystal.
“Where is Basil?”
“You mean Basil Perigold Tussok the third, formally of the twenty third Border Rangers and don’t you forget it, wot wot. He’s took a bow and some arrows and talked about fetching something to eat” Krystal teased.
“You think we should hide somewhere while he’s hunting?” questioned Elara.
“Maybe your right” answered Krystal

Xylia Ventura and Lynda Runa were busy in the fields near to the church. Both were Priestess of Duat, it was one of many religions that worshiped a pantheon of goddesses. Xylia haded to the shared bathroom and started the hot and cold water.
The shy deer girl closed the door before undressing, she sighed as her black sheath and balls hit the cold evening air. The sensation alone nearly made her erect. Entering the hot water she sighed softly as she settled into the hot water with a sigh it had been a long day.
She and Lynda were making in roads into all the issues of the church, the doors, the benches and nearly everything was fixed now. It was just the bell and statue of Duat in the tower.
A bit further up their neighbours where probably going to be to. Solana Topaz a muscled vixen and her lover..no mate Iona a purple and white bovine seemed to be doing well. The the caravan they had come in had gone, the materials used in building their new home. Xylia heard Lynda enter their share home which lay to one side of the church. Xylia would not spend to long in the bath or Lynda would tease her about being a mermaid again.
Pippa’s place would be opening the next day the two thought about showing up for opening day. Xylia got out of the bath and carefully dried herself. Dressing in just a robe she made her way to bed. It was a little latter she heard a yawn from the other room that signalled Lynda had gone to bed also.

The Saloon, it had been very well done, there was a large area for dining, a large stage and against one wall a decent bar area. Upstairs were a few rooms for changing, entertaining as well, At the back were three rooms for the triplets. Pippa, Petra and Penny had still not thought of a good enough name.
Braemane the local woodsman and handyman, the blue and white male pony was quite well liked in Brightholm. In the kitchen a blue furred mouse entered and looked around. Her hair was a short bob, green, she was wearing purple lipstick, her eyes were a light violet. She was dressed in a black smock with a white apron. Beryl Ravensong wanted to be ready for opening she was sorting the kitchen and marveling at the new equipment.
“Berry is everything alright?” asked Pippa.
“Yes I was just wondering if you had someone to handle the spit”
“Mmmm I have that covered, meet Tia, she’s from the orphanage in Arborrest”
Tia was a young dragon girl, she was about five foot high, grey skin and blonde hair with blue eyes. She seemed nice enough, from what Pippa had learned few if anyone want a dragon girl near them.
“Hmmm can’t say I’m a big fan of things in Arborrest to be honest”
Pippa sighed she knew Berry was talking about the slave pens, there wasn’t much they could do and with the Empire destroying it’s self. The people of Brightholm where busy with trying to keep themselves out of it.

Elara was collecting sea water, the water had a slight pink tinge as it was collected into a bucket, the Arctic Fox was sloshing the water into a number of large steel pans. Elara stoked up the fires under the pans and took a seat nearby.
“Watcha doing?” called a voice.
“Oh hello Selene, I’m making sea salt, shouldn’t you be near the village?”
“Nah, there’s just piling going on, I offered to help but they said I’d get in the way so I thought I’d look around”
Selene Pagi was about five foot eight which was tall for a fennec, she had dark brown hair, blue eyes and cream fur. Her hair was braided up well, she was wearing a dark green tunic. She had come with her mother Kari who had also been a Knight of the Silver Gryphon. If Selene was the true daughter of Kari it was uncertain as the former Knight had birthed her or adopted her as Kari was a half skunk girl. She had a muscled green body, the face of a fennec fox, green eyes and the tail of a skunk in black and white.
“See I’m just boiling sea water, boil it and allow it to evaporate and you get salt” explained Elara as Selene looked to the pans.
“How long will this take?” questioned Selene.
“Mmmm another hour I should be done for now, how’s the palisade wall coming along?”
“Should be finished soon, just the gate house to do, it’s facing west, Krystal thinks any trouble will come from there”
“She’s probably….oh goddess….here comes Basil!”
“Wot ho beans what’s going on here?”
Elara sighed softly Basil Perigold Tussok the third, formally of the twenty third Border Rangers had been a soldier at some point, but if Elara was honest he’d always been a professional glutton. The hare was pulling a large hand cart behind him on it were several dead animals he had hunted. His big issue was that he often stuck his nose into things uninvited, or ‘sampling’ food around the place but his biggest sin was the ballads he insisted on singing.
“Ah good water, don’t mind if I do!” said the hare before drinking the water from one of the pans.
“Ewww what a bally horrible trick to play on a fellow, sea water yuck!”
“Maybe if you had asked before immediately drinking the stuff in the pans, serves you right you fluffy maniac. Why don’t you get that meat to the village so we have food huh?”
“Oh yes, well I suppose your right, I’m off see you all at home”
After Basil had vanished on his way back to the village, the two had watched him go and Elara shook his head.
“Is he like that all the time?” wondered Selene.
“Yeah, afraid so he can be a bit much, we best follow him so he don’t get into trouble” replied Elara.
The white arctic fox stood up and started to put out the fires, collected the sea salt he’d made into a large pouch. He’d leave the pans as he would be back again the next morning. Out here there was so many possibilities, but he knew the die had been cast. What the results would be no one knew.
