Chapter 71: Truce
Fantasy Sex Story: Chapter 71: Truce - For fifty years since the capture and transportation of their forebears to Thurn, the women of a race the Thurnians call Elves have been at the mercy of the citizens of Thurn. Although talented in metal and leather work, it is the Elves beauty and sexual allure to Thurnian men which is in most demand. Wealthy men are now creating private harems of Elf Maidens while government officials wrestle with the problem of the ever-increasing population of Elves in Thurn.

Jaro, TM and Arona disembark from the Esmeralda and join Hinano, Tayn and me in a quiet corner of a local tavern for breakfast.
“When did the Hesperus arrive?” asks Jaro, referring to the large Thurnian ship moored further along the quayside.
“Yesterday,” I reply. “The Bardos authorities arrested the captain and crew. However, Tayn doesn’t think they’ll be charged with any serious offence. They abandoned their cargo of Elf Maidens further up the coast, which didn’t please the Bardos authorities. Fortunately the women were soon located and they’re being accommodated in one of the dockside warehouses. It’s far from ideal, but its the best we could do in the circumstances. We need to ferry them to Madiana as soon as we can.”
“How many are there?” asks Jaro.
“Fifty three Elf Maidens, sixteen adolescents and twenty one young children,” I reply. “They seem to be holding up okay despite their ordeal. I haven’t had the opportunity to talk with them individually.”
“I’ve spoken to some of them,” adds Hinano, who spent last night in the warehouse with the women, notably the Elf Maidens in heat. “Most are angry at the Thurnians for the way they were rounded up and deported, but very few feel homesick for Thurn. In some respects, I think they are glad to be away from the prejudice and bigotry of Thurnian society.”
“How have you fared?” I ask Jaro and Arona.
“We managed to tow the Amelia to a small bay near the proposed Tomyris settlement on Madiana,” replies Jaro. “There was some minor damage to the ship which Harry and Roland are repairing. We need to refit the Amelia with bedding and supplies, and we must acquire a boat to ferry everyone to and from shore. The Esme’s jolly boat is too small to handle the number of people you intend to house on the Amelia.”
When Tayn and I first discovered the Amelia abandoned at the east quay, we noticed that she had been stripped of her masts and rigging, along with anything portable. That included the two longboats that the Amelia once carried to ferry her passengers to and from shore.
“We’ve found traders willing to supply mattresses and bedding, and others who will sell us food,” I reply. “But we need money to pay for them.”
“Aegle has provided details of better designs and technology for about half of the items on the Bardos administrators’ wish list,” says Arona. “Hopefully what we have will be enough to persuade them to part with some of the money we need.”
“What of the Hesperus and her crew?” asks TM. “Surely they’ll be charged with kidnapping and piracy?”
“That’s unlikely,” replies Tayn. “The captain carries an official Thurnian government warrant, so any serious charges aren’t likely to stick. Besides, the Bardos authorities seem eager to avoid any conflict with Thurn. As long as the captain of the Hesperus pays for ‘warehousing his cargo’, he and his crew are likely to be set free before long.”
“Hmmm ... free to return to Thurn and transport another batch of elves to Bardos,” muses Jaro.
“Further deportations are likely regardless of which ship carries them,” I say. “The elves aboard the Hesperus don’t seem to have suffered unbearable hardship on their journey here. If the Thurnians resort to using other ships to carry out the deportations, then the passengers might suffer harsher conditions.”
While our activities over the last week have largely achieved our shortterm goals, we still have much more to do. Arona and Hinano visit the Bardos administrators and walk away with sufficient money for our immediate needs. The designs and documents Arona left with the administrators don’t guarantee that the revealed technology can be successfully applied. However, that’s a problem for the administrators to solve. The Merope have frequently shown that understanding the theory of new technology doesn’t always lead to reliable implementations of that technology.
We load the Esme’s hold with the mattresses, bedding and food various merchants have been holding for us. Jaro locates a suitable longboat, which diminishes our pot of money further. The longboat is too large to fit on the Esme’s deck, so Jaro opts for towing it to Madiana. Unfortunately it doesn’t look as though the sea is going to be calm enough to tow the boat for the next few days.
Transporting all ninety elves who arrived from Thurn will require the Esme’ to make two or three round trips to Madiana. The prospect of using the Hesperus to make the trip is soon dispelled when the Bardos authorities insist on keeping the crew in jail until all the newly arrived elves leave Bardos.
“Why don’t you leave the longboat with us in Bardos and transport the supplies back to Madiana?” I suggest when it’s clear the sea is too rough to tow the longboat. “Perhaps you should also take some of the adolescent elves and Elf Maidens to help get everything set up on the Amelia. Some of them can also help with building the settlement on shore.”
Jaro agrees to my proposal although it means that those on the Amelia will be stuck on board until Jaro can return with a longboat. Fortunately the Amelia is anchored near enough to shore that people can swim to the beach in the event of an emergency. Arona also offers to return to Madiana to extract more technology information from Aegle that can be sold to the Bardos authorities. While we have enough money for our immediate needs, we are likely to need more supplies before long.
“I presume that the Esmeralda won’t be returning to Tewhanga in the near future,” says TM to me once we split up after breakfast.
“You will need to ask Jaro about that,” I reply. “He will need to return to Tewhanga in order to receive the second half of his charter fee. But I don’t know when he intends to do that.”
“I suspect Jaro doesn’t intend to return to the east at all,” says TM. “He and the others seem content to remain in the Ribbean Sea. I presume you and Arona are stuck here now that the Purists are deporting Elf Maidens from Thurn.”
“Yes, Arona and I no longer have the option of returning to Thurn ... at least for the foreseeable future. We must make a new life here on Bardos or Madiana. Despite Jaro’s wishes, he and the crew of the Esme’ will honour their contract and return to Tewhanga if you wish to return to Thurn. You aren’t of our race, so you should be welcome back in Thurn.”
“I wish to return to Thurn simply to challenge the Purists’ racist policies,” says TM. “However, I won’t ask Jaro to make a special trip simply to return me to Thurn. When the crew of the Hesperus are released from jail, I will approach them for passage back to Thurn. However, I will need money to pay for my passage.”
“Okay,” I reply. “If the captain agrees to take you, then I’ll arrange for your fare to be paid. However, I ask a favour in return. I want you to hand my research paper to the professor at the Education Centre. I’ll not have it said that I reneged on the terms of the bequest that funded this expedition. If the professor is satisfied with my work, then he can choose to publish it ... or not. I doubt publication of my work will do any further harm to the Tomyis.”
