Chapter 2:

Shi was lucky that one bath house was still open at this time of night. The
owner had been ready to close, but Shi paid him double to stay open, bought a
robe and sandels for Urchin, and instructed one of th female employees to burn
Urchins rags. Urchin, for her part had never experiancd the pleasure of a
fully staffed bath-house. The servent girls had to wash her hair 3 times, but
it was worth it.

Shi soaped Urchin up, carefully avoiding the girls private parts for now even
though she could read the girls body language. After the bath the servant
girls rubbed the woman and girl down with a light covering of body cream.
Urchin moaned in pleasure at the sensuous massage. Eyes closed she imigined it
was Shi who was rubbing her down.

Then came a basic hair styling.Shi liked her hair done simple, Urchin, unused
to exotic styles chose a simple pony tail for her long blonde hair. Urchin
didn't wonder about Shi's hair color, but it would be a subject of gossip for
the servent girls for weeks since Shi's roots were as golden blonde as the
rest, totally atypical of women from Chin.

" Why Urchin, you are a lovely young lady," Shi fawned on the girl as she led
her to a mirror.

" I-is that me?," Urchin gasped.

Urchin had never fully seen herself in a full length mirror. And previously
had been so dirty and unkempt that she would look the opposite of the pretty,
if too thin girl that now stared back at her. Urchin couldn't hide her tears
as she hugged Shi fiercely. Urchin could scarcely believe that anyone could be
so kind.

Even were Urchin not the ring bearer Shi would have still done he same for
Urchin, selflessly and without thought of reward. Shi knew she couldn't do the
same for everyone, that was beyond anyones abilities, but to save even one
helpless soul filled her heart with joy and love. Shi hugged the girl back
tenderly.

" It's all right," Shi softly said in a soothing voice," I will take care of
you little one."

When her tears were spent Shi led her out of the bath-house, holding her hand
reassuringly. Urchin was borderline malnourished so Shi made sure she didn't
overeat or make herself sick as she treated the girl to some food. Even what
Shi did let her eat was like a feast to the long hungry girl. Next Shi bought
her some simple but practical clothes that would match hers. Shi decided she
didn't need the hat anymore, but still hid her hair with her hood.

Almost as an afterthought, Shi bought the girl a short sword and strapped it
on the girl despite Urchin's misgivings. Once on though Urchin grinned. She
had never been armed before. This gave her a thrill as she now didn't feel as
helpless as she always had.

" I will teach you how to use it later," Shi smiled at her," But for now,
leave the fighting to me."

The hour was growing very late. As they headed back to the inn they passed the
half-elf acrobat Shi had watched earlier. The sandy haired gymnast was just
finishing packing her tools of the trade when she spotted Shi, waved and
walked over.

" Hi, I hope you don't me forward," the acrobat said extending her hand," I'm
Tara from Shelton. I saw you earlier."

" I am Shi Lung, a humble sohei priestess from Nippon," Shi lied.

" Shi Lung? That sounds more like Chin," Tara grinned.

" Uh, well," Shi knew she was caught.

" Hey, no problem. If you want to fudge who you are it's okay," Tara smiled,"
Not like anyone around her cares. So, are you here for the tournament?"

" The tournament?," Shi asked.

" Hmmmmmm. Just arrived here huh?," Tara said," You look like a fighter,
figured that's what you came here for. There's people coming from all over,
even the other continants for this. I've been checking my competition out."

" Oh, so you do more than just put on shows?," Urchin asked.

" It allows me to scope out the competition and practice at the same time,"
Tara grinned," I've got practical battle experiance too, fighting orcs."

" Disgusting creatures," Shi agreed.

" Yea, guess you saw my speciallity," Tara said," I've created my own style
combining gymnastics with knife throwing. I can pick a fly off at 100 feet
doing a double back somersault."

" Sounds interesting. I was going to travel further west, but Urchin needs to
regain her strength," Shi said.

" That's right, I didn't see her earlier," Tara said.

" Um, she is my handmaiden and this journey has made her ill," Shi lied.

Shi was very good at thinking on her feet. Shi actually wanted to be gone in a
week. It would take a long time to fully restore Urchin, actually the first
time she would be healthy. Shi was surprised that Tara was staying at the same
inn, although in a cheaper room on the third floor. Saying goodnight to each
other Shi and Urchin went to Shi's room. Urchin started to lay on the floor,
but Shi motioned for her to join her in the bed. Shi did not take advantage of
the girl and just held her protectively. Nude, the 2 fell asleep in each
others arms.

................

Tara joined them as they ate a late breakfast. The trio talked and talked
about many things. Well, Urchin didn't say much, but she smiled a lot. Shi and
Tara were becoming friends. Urchin was in love with Shi and was also growing
fond of Tara.

" I-I really should tell you one thing," Tara said bushing," I like girls. I
mean intimately too. And I like it rough."

" So do I," Shi laughed," I love girl sex, especially if there is whipping
involved. I was exiled because of my sexual preferance."

Urchin listened as the 2 women told each other all the things they liked
doing. Both of them laughed as they found that they had the same fetishes.
Urchin was no virgin, but her experiances had only been born of rape. To give
of herself freely was a new concept. The fact that a woman might actually
enjoy pain was a surprise.

" Mistress, I do not understand," Urchin spoke up," I have been raped, and it
hurt terribly. I hated it and had no pleasure. I do not understand how pain
can be pleasure."

" Oh, you sweet adorable girl," Shi grinned," The answer is simple, we enjoy
it because it is consensual. Your experiances have been by force. If done by
someone you love, and who loves you, then rough sex can be as pleasurable as
any."

" Especially with other women," Tara smiled," Men are too brutal I think. With
a woman, it is slow, soft, and sensual."

" Mistress, do you think that, you know?," Urchin blushed.

" With you?," Shi answered," Someday maybe, but not until I get you healhy and
strong. And certanly not until you want me to."

Tara let out a gasp. Shi looked at her, then followed her friends eyes. No
wonder Shi thought as the 2 elvan women rode in on 2 magnificent white horses.
The one in the lead had dark hair, and was dressed as a ranger. She rode in
traditional fashion with practised ease. The other woman was blonde and regal
in flowing white robes riding side saddle.

All in their path quickly made way, elves and half-elves bowed. Humans,
Centaurs, and Hobbits also seemed to have various degrees of reverance. Shi
saw that Tara was bowing, head down as she passed.

" Who is that?," Shi whispered as quietly as she could.

" That is Galadriel, the Queen of the Elves," Tara whispered in the same
volume," But she never leaves Lothlorien!"

At that moment Galadriel stopped and looked at the 3 women, especially Urchin.

' Do not fear me child,' Galadriel smiled as she spoke inside of Urchin's
mind,' I am a friend, I mean you no harm. You are the chosen one.'

With that Galadriel spurred her horse forward, towards the mansion of the
towns lord. Once they reached the gate Galadriel scanned for hostile minds.
Finding none she turned to Arwen.

" This tournament is a key. I am familiar with the format the Lord of Dracul
uses. His tournament is well run and fair, the contestants use blunted weapons
so as to avoid injury. The contests are divided into individual weapons
specialtys. Archery, sword, spear, knife, staff, and so on," Galadriel said,"
There is even a 'wizard' division."

" Of course! That is exactly what we need," Arwen said as she got it.

" The final contest is always a 'Battle Royale' between the winners of each
contest," Galadriel started to say.

" The women who compete in that contest are the ones we need," Arwen
finished," The very best are coming here from all corners of Middle Earth.
That woman was from Chin, I also noticed one from Nippon, another from the
desert steppes of the near east."

" I see another," Galadrel said, her eyes closed," Just arriving with 2 male
competors. From Merica, as they call the western continant."

" That is impressive indeed," Arwen said," By fast ship that is 6 months
travel. And another month to make it here."

The Lord of Dracul greeted his guests with more than a little awe. He ordered
only the best for them as befitted their station.

..................

After much teasing Shi finally entered the tournament, choosing the 'exotic
weapons' catagory for unusual weapons such as her 3 sectioned staff. Tara, of
course, chose 'throwing knife'. Some woman chose more than one catagory. Shi
thought that she would have liked to have had a 'bare hands' catagory since
the male fighters had both a wrestling and boxing catagory, but no such luck.
Unable to keep out of it Arwen entered 'archery' and 'horse archery'.

The next 3 days were a blur of activity as the contests started. Shi was
pleased that Urchin was already growing noticibly stronger. Shi gave her her
first lesson in the use of the short sword. Urchin was a quick study. Urchin
was quite nimble from years of dodging obsticles as she ran from pursuers.
This now stood her in good stead.

Shi and Tara breezed through their divisions. Along the way they met and
formed friendships with many of the other top women. Another 3 days passed and
Shi and Tara had won their divisions and were invited to a feast at the Lord
of Draculs mansion. Urchin, as Shi's handmaiden was allowed to come with her.
In fact, the messenger told Shi that Urchin was an invited guest of Galadriel
herself.

Shi took the invitation with a smile and read the names aloud to the thrilled
Urchin.

his annual 'Victory Feast'!

" I think I shall skip the hood tonight," Shi said," C'mon Urchin, lets go
shopping!"

.....................

Urchin liked shopping. She had always had to steal just for a crust of bread
before. Now, to walk in on merchants who used to curse her and chase her and
have them treat her as royalty gave her a perverse thrill. Truth be told, she
looked very differant now than she had just a week ago. She was slowly
starting to fill out in all the right places, wiry muscle was beng added to
bone, she was clean, better dressed, her hair was slightly perfumed, and she
now proudly wore earings after having her ears pierced like Tara's.

Shi was going to demand an orphanage to protect children like Urchin. Shi knew
that there would still be some who might suffer as Urchin had, but if she
could save even a few of them it would be worth it. Urchin loved her mistress
even more after Shi told her her plans.

..................

' So, the Queen bitch herself is getting involved," Saruman thought as he
peered though the eyes of the only bird he had in that area,' What would your
people think if they knew you were screwing your own grand-daughter? Your
marriage has been a sham for hundreds of years.'

Galadriel was one of the few beings that Saruman now feared since he had
thrown his lot in with Sauron. With the power of the ring Galadriel woud be a
match or near match for Sauron himself at full power. Of course the ring would
then corrupt her and make her as evil as Sauron.

Where was the ring? Saruman tracked the Ringwraiths. They were headed for
Dracul, but they were still 3 weeks away even as hard as they could ride. If
the Wraiths and Galadriel were at, or heading for Dracul then the ring must be
there. Somewhere. Saruman could see Arwen, she didn't have it. Lorelei,
another elf sorceress, sister of Legolas was also there, but she didn't have
it either.

The bird scanned the party guests as they arrived. Sword Dancer? No. Amazon?
No. Valkyrie from the frozen north? No. What was this? A dragoness! Her
disquise could not fool him! Actually, her hair color would give her away to
anyone who knew anything about Chin. There were not many of those though.

But no, she didn't have it either. None of the warrior women had the ring! In
frustration Saruman recalled his spy. He had totally disregarded the skinny
little handmaiden. That had been a mistake that Saruman might live to regret.

..............................

Arwen hugged Lorelei in greeting. Lorelei was her best friend and was her
lover when Galadriel wasn't around. Lorelei wasn't nearly as powerful as
Galadriel, but she was a 'combat mage' and could give a good fight to anyone.

" The spy is gone," Galadriel said surprising both women.

" You knew?," Lorelei asked," Well, don't know why I'm surprised. Um, ah, I
barely detected it. But um..."

" Male arrogance," Galadriel said ignoring the girls stumbling," Looked at all
the fighters, totally ignored the only one who was out of place. Of course,
had he even glanced her way I would have had to destroy the creature."

" The half child is the ring bearer?," Lorelei asked," So hard to believe. The
dragoness is the most likely suspect."

" We are fortunate that she is," Arwen said," She is the most physically
powerful of us."

" She has a good heart and a quick mind to go with her power," Galadriel
said," Both of those qualities are a plus."

Music was playing as several of the girls danced with each other. They were
all so very friendly. The dark skinned Queen Rena of the black race far south
of Harad had seemed so serious when she had fought. Now, laughing like a girl
she swept Arwen away and started dancing with her. Arwen could not help but
join in the laughter as the 6' tall amazon swung her like a child.

Urchin danced with Shi, who then allowed her to dance with Willow, and then
Serena. Urchin liked them all and wondered why all of them were so beautiful
and yet such good fighters. The Lord of Dracul showed up and had his steward
announce dinner. Urchin was prepared to go to the kitchen with the other
servants, but Shi sat her down next to her and shot a scary look to a server
who looked like he might request just that.

Dinner was wonderul of course. Urchin was able to eat more than she could have
a week ago. The Lord of Dracul was actually not a bad ruler and listened
intently as Shi told him her idea for a safe orphanage.

" To prove that I am willing to put my money where my mouth is, I donate my
winnings to the building of the orphanage," Shi said rising and putting her
prize money on the table.

" And I as well," Tara said rising and doing the same.

" And I," Princess Yasmina said.

" I have no use for gold," Mara said smiling.

All the others rose and joined in. Galadriel stood and bowed slightly with the
slightest of qeenly smiles. She was pleased. These women were already bonding.

" Very well! It shall be done," the Lord said," Steward, my pen!"

The women applauded him and Shi as well. Urchin threw her arms around Shi's
neck and hugged her. A few tears formed. To someone who had never known
happiness, Urchin's heart was now filled with it. Her mistress was beautiful
and kind and she loved her.

After the dinner there was more dancing and some drinking, although even the
Valkyrie Krista took it easy. Tomorrow they would fight each other, albeit in
combat that was non-lethal, but for tonight they would have fun. Just as the
Lord of Dracul was about to make his usual speech, Galadriel rose and gently
placed her hand on his shoulder. All eyes were on her as she knew they would
be.

" My friends," Galadriel started," The hour is late, but there are things that
you must hear. Some of you have seen signs, others have had premonitions,
still others of you have noticed the increasing numbers and boldness of orcs
and other foul creatures. More than a few of you have wondered why I have
travelled away from my home. What I must tell you is not easy, a few of you
may disbelieve, and what I ask, no, what I beg of you to do may be too much to
bear for anyone. The rumors are true, the Dark Lord Sauron has returned!!"

Galadriel waited for the murmer to die down, but not even she could have
predicted what happened next. Urchin walked towards her nervously, then turned
and faced the other women, She was frightened, more frightened than she had
been even the week before. But Shi then stood behind her, gently laying her
hands reassuringly on the girls trembling shoulders. Tara stood next to her,
as did Arwin and Lorelei. Whatever else, Urchin knew she was no longer alone.
Urchin summoned up her courage.

" I have the ring," Urchin said in a trembling voice," It must be destroyed."

" That took great courage little one," Galadriel smiled as she also stood
behind Urchin," This child is our only hope. Only she can resist the power of
the ring long enough to cast it in the fires of Mordor. But all of you can see
that while her will is strong, she is weak of body. She requires defenders.
Only the best of the best can protect her from the foul creatures of Mordor
and Isengard. The ring must be hurled into the flames of Morder! This task is
impossible, chances are that none of those who choose to go will survive. But
I am going. If we fail, Sauron will destroy everything. If Sauron rises he
will destroy Nippon, Merica, Zuni. No land will be immune from his touch! We
have only thing in our favor. Sauron will not expect women. You have a choice.
You are the best female fighter in all of Middle Earth, gathered from the 4
corners of the world. Tomorrow you can compete in what will soon become a
frivolous contest, or you can help this child save all of us. I choose to
protect her. I beg you to do the same."

" All who are willing, please, come to us," Arwen implored.

Lady Emitalia, Willow, Princess Yasmina, and Serena were already beside them
as Arwen spoke. Krista, Mara, and Kymora were right behind them.

" This is madness," Queen Rena laughed as she joined only seconds.

Galadriel was pleased. In less than 15 seconds she had her force, all save the
girl from another time that she sensed would join them soon.

" We are all fools together it seems," Galadrel laughed," Welcome to our merry
band of madwomen!"

" We are yours to command my Queen," Lorelei said bowing.

" I? I am skilled enough to be the leader," Galadriel said," No, the one who
should lead us should be the one with the most experiance in both stealth an
combat. You! Shi Lung of Chin!"

A cant of 'Shi' 'Shi' erupted. Shi smiled, humbled, but knew that Galadriel
was right. She was the third in age, but first in actual combat experiance.

" I am humbled your majesty," Shi said with a slight bow," I accept. I swear I
will try to keep all of you alive."

Shi knew that it would be a miracle for ANY of them to live through this. But
she was going to try. ............................ end of Chapter 2:
