Jules was standing in the window of the beach gate musing: they said - see the world..... well I've seen it... it's a green island with blue water, sandy beaches and .... nothing else! I can't wait till my short stint here is over. There is no good pubs, no entertainment and no real enemies to fight. All I do is sit and provide security to merchants who are afraid of their own shadows..... someone give me an enemy! I long to pull the sword out of my scabbard and let it drink some red life juice.....
Oh well... but on the other hand, maybe I'll work on my tan while I wait for the patrol to come back....
Jules wasn't the only one that was bored to tears.... her trusted companion, Red, couldn't wait to go back to mainland either. Each morning while Jules secretly looked out the window, he would come out to the end of the pier and look out in direction of Lenfald. He was done with this new land. His frustration was different - no women! Jules was the only woman around and she was off limits.... frustrating.... He knew that the rest of the troops thought the same way.... and of course the merchant ships that would come brought no relief either as sailors were dead set against having women on board. They had to threaten the captain of the vessel that brought them here with steel because once he saw Jules remove her helmet and realized that she's a woman he wanted to throw her overboard!
