🔭 🛰️ 🐺

There were several people atop the palace rooftop shortly before sunset. Both King Stephen and Thorn, Queen Peg were King Stephen, Lord and Lady Buchanan, Dr. Jane Foster and the Queen's doctor, Dr. Lisa Madison. Thorn and Foster had arrived shortly before the evening meal.   When the Queen shared the news of Buchanan's discovery Foster had looked at Peg with a knowing smile.

"You're thinking we might be able to see the International Space Station, if it is still orbiting," she said. "I used to know it's orbit but I don't remember how often they had to do course corrections to keep it there. Even if it's not there the fact there are still satellites is a good indicator they had the technology once."

"I had the thought there might still be military missiles in silos," said Ileana. "Couldn't they be reprogrammed to go into space?"

"Theoretically, yes," said Jane. "But their fuel might not be enough to get them there." She made a sound of frustration. "I need first hand observations of that asteroid. There has to be the remains of an observatory nearby. Have either of you ever tried to figure out where on Earth we are? Where were you when you were brought here? I was in Arizona."

"New Orleans," said Ileana.

"London," said Peg.

"Well, there goes that theory," said Jane. "We were all brought to the same place from different places.  I wish I knew what this place used to be."

"I think we should be canvassing the population to find everyone who was brought here from a modern world," said Dr. Madison. "Surely, there must be someone with the knowledge we need."

"The King has requested all Lords gather here in a month to discuss the asteroid and what can be done about it," said Peg. "Perhaps if we get them to explore their own lands and look for the remains of an observatory or a missile silo, anything that looks out of place for these times."

There were sudden exclamations from the men and the women looked to see Buchanan pointing out a travelling point of light across the sky. The women looked up, watching it travel across the sky then disappear in the east. Jane looked at the assembled group.

"That was definitely a satellite," she confirmed. "Your world did have the knowledge at one time. If we could see the largest one of them it would give me an indication of how advanced your civilization was."

There were several other sightings of other satellites but it was almost two hours before the one that they were waiting for appeared in the western sky. Jane Foster trained the small telescope that had been brought out on it and cried out in triumph – quickly passing it to the others for a brief look. When it passed out of sight, the group, especially the men, were ecstatic.

"That was truly a place where people lived and worked?" asked Buchanan. "Why was it shaped the way it is and not like a house or a ship?"

"We have some time before it makes another pass," said Jane. "Come into the warmth of the castle so I can draw you a quick picture of it."

Quickly she drew a picture from memory and explained the different components of it, including the solar panels that powered the station in space. As they questioned her about how they would grow crops she explained how space is a vacuum, no air, no way to breathe without technology. Food was shipped to the station via rockets as were the people, although theoretically they could grow some things using hydroponics, which was another explanation in itself.

"So the probability of anyone being alive up there are non-existent," stated Buchanan, feeling a little deflated.

"Yes, it's not likely," replied Jane.  "Still, the fact that your world had one of these means that before the calamity your ancestors had the capability of going to space."

The clock chimed, indicating it was time to go back up to the roof to wait for the second pass. When it passed over everyone took another look for several seconds each until it was lost to sight. Jane explained how it likely wouldn't be visible again that night as its orbit would take it further south and they all retired back into the palace.

"Jane, I will build you the biggest observatory for you to search the heavens," said King Thorn. "I'm sure there are craftsmen who can duplicate that small telescope into something larger."

"Actually, there is a different type of telescope that would be better suited for that purpose but that is a conversation for the day," said Jane. "I am tired and I'm sure everyone here is also. Lord Buchanan, you have a quick mind to have realized those travelling lights were orbiting this world and were not stars. You have given me hope that somewhere that lost technology may still exist. We will need it to take action against the asteroid."

"You honour me, Lady Jane," he said. "I am intrigued by the whole notion of a craft floating around in the heavens, with people living and working on it. My lady wife has more familiarity with what that technology looks like but at least now I can easily envision it. I will direct my tenants to search out their lands for hidden treasures. My wife and I will also retire now for we leave early on the morrow for our lands. Good eve to you all."

He offered Ileana his arm and they retired to his quarters. His excitement was evident and Ileana had a funny thought that made her chuckle. When he asked why she was so amused she took a breath.

"I just realized you are a science nerd," she said. "In my time, to call someone a nerd was seen as an insult. At its worst, it meant you had little social graces which doesn't apply to you at all but when you put the term science in front of it the whole meaning changes. It means you are interested and accomplished in scientific endeavours. In my job I was considered a computer nerd. You being a science nerd is perfect because it means we both are interested in science and technology."

"And each other," he said, laughing as he placed himself on top of her. "Are you too tired for us to couple? I find myself eager even though I know we must leave early in the morn."

Her laughter was answer enough and their joyful coupling was heard by several as they passed the quarters. It was late when they finally slept. When Gerard and Alice opened their dressing room doors in the morning they had to call out to the pair to awaken them. After being assisted by the two servants to dress, both Ileana and Buchanan expressed their thanks to Alice and Gerard for all their help. Alice promised to continue her training to become a midwife. Packing travelling clothes for them both the good servants promised to have those saddlebags mounted on their horses when they were ready to leave. The King was already in his private dining hall and they joined him as a servant poured a drink for them. Ileana took a sip and cried out in excitement.

"It's coffee!" she said. "Where did you get coffee?"

"A pedlar from the outlands who came with Loki's allies decided he didn't want to take his wares back with him so he has been going through the land, with my permission," said King Stephen. "Your reaction was the same as Peg's. He promised to bring us more for it seems everyone is enjoying the taste as much as you are."

"I have some at our estate," said Buchanan. "Cook said the pedlar was there before they were besieged. I took some as did Lord Stark. It is a strong drink but tasty."

As the others came in the modern women all had the same reaction causing laughter. "If I had known this was so missed by the modern women I might have searched this drink out sooner," said the King. "Perhaps Peg would have married me sooner if I had offered her a pound or two of coffee as a bride price."

Their food was brought out and Ileana bent over her plate. The smell that was once tantalizing suddenly smelled foul to her and she ran for the nearest privy to empty her stomach. She came back to Peg's sympathetic eyes and Buchanan's unspoken question to which she nodded.

"My good wife is with child," said Buchanan. "She told me yesterday. The Sorceress has confirmed it."

"Stick to plain toast for now," said Peg. "It won't be long until you can have a hearty breakfast again."

"Wonderful news," said the King. "Congratulations my dear friends. What an exciting time for us both."

Ileana ate a slice of plain toast, managing to keep it down. Buchanan ate heartily, still happy with the news of their child. Once he had finished as had everyone else he stood up, expressing his desire to start on their journey. The others walked out to the courtyard with them where their horses were waiting. Ileana didn't see the white mare at first but Buchanan took her by the hand and walked her over to the mare.

"Ileana, I bought this mare for you," he said. "She is battle trained and sure footed. One of the women we escorted had no horse and I allowed her to ride it. In her mind it was one of the best rides she ever had."

"She's beautiful," said Ileana, stroking the horse's gleaming white neck. "What's her name?"

"She has none," said Buchanan. "You must name her."

"Well, she is as bright as the full moon," said Ileana. "Luna. Thank you My Lord."

"Luna it is," he said, then offered his hand to help her up.

The mare was easier to mount compared to Magnus who stood patiently waiting for Lord Buchanan. Once his master had mounted he became impatient and began lifting one front leg, then another, eager to begin their journey. Buchanan saluted the King and Queen then bade Ileana to ride beside him. They trotted out the gate and kept up the pace for some time until Buchanan called for them to slow down and give the horses a break.

"Are we staying in the mountain hut tonight, James?" asked Ileana.

"It is an option," he said. "We have bed rolls with us so it will be more comfortable than our previous stay. I have another place in mind that is a bit further but it will allow us to keep the horses with us overnight. It is dry, covered, and with a fire is quite comfortable."

They travelled for some time until they came to a stream that was fed by a small waterfall. Buchanan took his scabbard, boots and socks off and strode into the stream nearest the waterfall looking intently into the water. He found what he was looking for and asked Ileana for his longest knife. Then he stood quite still but bent over and suddenly stabbed at something in the water, lifting out a fish. Pulling the knife out he tossed the fish onto the grass and bade Ileana to make sure it didn't escape. Twice more he caught a fish, then came out of the water and started a fire with deadfall. He asked Ileana to look for strong green wood that could be stripped of its bark to thread the fish onto. As she did so he scaled and cleaned the fish, picking up the guts and throwing it at the base of a tree nearby.

"It's good food for the forest," he said and Ileana smiled.

Then Buchanan threaded the fish onto the stripped green wood and bent it over the fire so it was out of the flame but could cook in the heat from the coals. Laying where he could watch the fish he beckoned to Ileana to lay with him while the food cooked. They kissed and caressed, stopping every so often to adjust the fish to keep it from burning. He undid the ties of her bodice so he could kiss and touch her breasts but went no further as they still had a long way to travel after their meal. When he was satisfied with the cooked texture of the fish he searched the river bank for large flat stones, finally finding one that was more platter sized. He washed it in the stream and came back with it to the fire sliding the fish from the sticks onto it, then placing it on the grass in between them. Gently he pulled pieces of it off and fed Ileana, kissing her after every morsel. She did the same. After they ate they kissed again but this time Buchanan undid his breeches, lifting his hard cock out.

"Watching you eat from my fingers and then you feeding me has made me desire you," he said. "I can't ride with this so we have to take care of it. Don't undress. I will just lift your skirts up."

Carefully he pulled her skirts up and smiled when he saw she wasn't wearing her undergarment that she normally wore under her breeches. Burying his face under Ileana's skirts he searched for her warmth and found her already receptive to him.

"I was aroused by you feeding me as well," she said, smiling.

Pulling her skirts higher while Buchanan guided himself into her they both murmured at the pleasure this joining was giving them. Her bodice was still undone and Buchanan buried his face into her bosom as he thrust himself hard into her. Running her hands through his hair, Ileana lifted herself into his thrusts and soon felt the beginnings of the intensity that would build to her release. Suddenly he grasped her hands and raised them above her head. He made a low sound that was almost a growl and looked at her with a ferocity she had only seen once or twice.

"I would have you scream for me," he whispered. "What will bring one to your lips?"

He pulled almost all the way out then slammed hard back into her, filling her with his full length and girth. She gasped loudly but he wasn't satisfied and hungrily eyed her neck, burying his face in the part where her pulse could be seen. Roughly mouthing the soft skin he lightly bit her ear lobe pulling it with his teeth then mouthing the spot. She moaned and it emboldened him. Holding her hands down with one hand he put his thumb on the spot just above her entry that he knew would bring the scream he desired.

"You spot is hard like my cock," he said, "and it wants to be set free to fill you with the screams of pleasure. Raise yourself into me and press yourself into my thumb while I circle your spot."

Ileana did as he asked and raised her hips searching for the spot that would release her orgasm. She pulled on her hands, wanting to touch herself but he wouldn't let go. Then he buried his face in her breasts again.

"James, I need to touch...," she gasped and this time he released her hands.

Immediately she caressed her own breasts then pulled one out and brought it to his lips. He groaned and she felt him grow inside her as he fought his own release. Grasping his face in her hands she joined their mouths and pressed her tongue deeply into his mouth. He did the same to her and it was as if a switch had been flipped as she screamed in her throat. Her scream was felt on his tongue and he came at almost the exact same moment. Both pressed into the other, lengthening the effects of their climax. Buchanan collapsed on top of her and buried his face into her bosom once again breathing heavily into it, taking in the lusty smells of their coupling. They lay there for several minutes until he started laughing. Then he raised himself on his arms and looked lovingly on her.

"This interlude has ruined my plans to stay in my original destination," he said. "We will have to stay in the mountain hut tonight and bring the horses in with us. It is the time of the year when some animals prepare for their winter sleep. Even Magnus might not survive an encounter with a hungry bear. Stay here, while I clean you up."

He reached inside his shirt and brought out the piece of Ileana's black lace skirt. She looked at it, recognizing it.

"You still have it," she said, smiling.

"Aye," he replied. "It is my talisman but it will have to be a cleaning cloth for now."

He wiped himself and fastened his breeches up then went to the stream and wet the cloth well before wringing it out. Gently he wiped her clean and pulled her skirts back into place before helping her up. Returning to the stream he cleaned it well, wringing it again and fastening it to his scabbard so it could dry. Then he pulled his socks and boots back on before putting his scabbard on. He cleaned up the bits of bone and fish placing them on the tree where he had left the insides of the fish. He noticed they were gone and not just scattered by small rodents but fully gone.

"Ileana, get on your horse," he said, suddenly alert. "It appears we had a visitor during our pleasures. I'm not sure what but it is now well fed, at least for now. Magnus didn't react to its presence so it mustn't have been a threat."

Easily she mounted Luna while he went back to the fire and kicked the larger pieces into the water to kill it.  Dirt was kicked on the remaining coals to suffocate the flame. Then he mounted Magnus. The two horses trotted again for some time and eventually came to the path for the mountain hut. Buchanan studied the sky and shook his head with concern.

"There is weather coming," he said. "Make haste, we need to be under shelter before it rains or we will be cold all night."

They rode as quickly as they could given the rocky path but were not fast enough to out run the weather and it started to rain before they made it to the hut. Without stopping he pulled both horses into the shelter, then went back out to gather what dry wood he could, bringing it back by the armfuls. He stripped off his leathers and started the fire, building it up to a roar.

"Take your wet clothes off," he ordered Ileana.

Ileana took her jacket, skirts and bodice off. Her chemise was still quite dry so he directed her to sit near the fire while he arranged her clothing so it would dry. Then he unsaddled both horses and laid their blankets on the floor in front of the fire. Their bodies steamed in the warmth of the hut but he smoothed his hands over their backs, satisfied they were not chilled. Their bedrolls were damp so he laid them out near the fire as well to dry them out. In the heat generated by the fire it didn't take long for everything to become dry and he transferred the saddle blankets onto the rough wooden bed which they had shared about 6 weeks previous. Magnus nickered then flicked his ears, immediately alerting Buchanan that something was amiss. He pulled his sword out of his scabbard and listened carefully at the door. Hearing a whimpering noise, he opened the door a crack, preparing to slash at whatever beast might be out there. A wet ball of black fur scurried in, causing him to jump back in surprise. Closing the door he looked closely at the creature which hid under the bed, only its bright eyes visible to him.

"What is it?" asked Ileana. "I just saw a ball of fur go there."

"I'm not sure," replied Buchanan. "Let me see if I can coax it out."

Reaching into his saddlebag he pulled out some rations. He gave some to Ileana and she bit into it.

"Beef jerky," she said with a smile, then ate more.

Buchanan ate some then tossed a piece near the bed and waited. A small black nose appeared sniffing, followed by thick black fur. It's curiosity and hunger won out over its fear and it came forward grasped the jerky and chewed it with pleasure, giving grunts and small growls as it chewed. Buchanan looked at Ileana and grinned.

"It's a wolf pup," he said. "Somehow it's been separated from its pack. I wonder if it is the creature that ate the fish guts. It's followed us a long way.  I am surprised it was able to keep up."

He tossed another piece at it then gave one to Ileana again while he chewed on his. Buchanan looked at Magnus who seemed to watch the pup with indifference and sat back thinking. He pulled another piece off and instead of throwing it held it out to the pup, waiting to see what it would do. It sat and looked at him for a short time, then at the food before it slowly approached Buchanan's hand. He moved the jerky closer towards himself and the pup followed it, its hunger guiding its actions. Finally, it took the piece gently from Buchanan's fingers and he tentatively scratched it behind its ears. Withdrawing his hand the pup stepped forward, raising one paw to Buchanan then another and sat waiting patiently for a piece of jerky. Ileana offered it a piece, smiling as it took it gently from her then stepped closer, sniffing her before it climbed into her lap, curling up and closing its eyes.

"I've heard of this happening," said Buchanan, sounding pleased. "Usually to someone who lives near the frontiers, away from others. This is the first I have actually seen it. We are now its pack."

Ileana beamed and automatically began stroking the young pup as it lay sleeping in her lap.

"It must be so tired after following us so far," she said. "We are keeping it, aren't we?"

"Aye," said Buchanan. "But it will need to be trained to rein in its natural tendencies. Can't have it hunting down the livestock. Those that succeeded in taming a wolf say it is worth the hard work as they are loyal loving creatures with their pack."

Buchanan laid their bed rolls on the raised wooden bed and lifted the small creature from its sleeping position on Ileana's lap. It never stirred as he placed it at the bottom of the bed. He took his shirt off, replacing it with his nightshirt from the saddlebag. Together they got into the rough bed where Ileana curled herself into him.

"This is much more comfortable than it was that first night," he said softly to her. "After you fell asleep I could smell your hair and feel its softness on my arm. It made it difficult to honour my pledge to you."

"But you did," she replied. "You were and still are a man of your word. That is one of the things that I love about you. In both our worlds you are a man of honour."

They kissed lovingly and easily fell asleep in each other's arms. During the night the wolf pup whimpered in its sleep and Ileana woke enough to pick it up from the bottom of the bed then bring it into the bed roll with her. As Buchanan spooned behind her she placed the pup in front of her. It licked her face then burrowed into her midsection and fell asleep. It's warmth was comforting and she stroked it until she slept again.

The sound of whining woke them both. When they searched for the sound they saw it was the wolf pup at the door. Buchanan went to the door, opened it and the creature ran outside barking at something. Grabbing his sword Buchanan stepped outside in the dawn, looking for the source of the pup's warning. The young wolf was at the base of a tree where it appeared to have frightened something enough for it to climb into the gnarled branches. Gingerly stepping over the rocky ground in his bare feet Buchanan peered up into the branches and saw the distinct face of a raccoon.

"Pup," he called to the little wolf, "come here."

He gestured at the pup and it looked back at him with a puzzled expression on its face.

"You want a name?" he asked the little ball of fur. "Very well, Shadow, come here."

It didn't move. He tried several names and it still gave him the same quizzical look. A beam of sunlight came through the trees and lit up the cub's face, making its eyes visible.

"Sky," said Buchanan. "Your eyes are like mine, the colour of the sky. Is that your name? Come Sky."

The dog bounded to him and sat at his feet, it's tail wagging. Buchanan scooped it up, checked its sex, and brought it back into the hut, chuckling. Ileana sat on the rough bed.

"What was out there?" she asked.

"A raccoon," he replied. "A deadly beast to protect us from. The pup has a name. Sky. His eyes are sky blue like mine. When I called him by that name he came to me."

"So the white wolf has a black wolf cub," said Ileana. "You know there will be stories about it."

"Perhaps there should be," he replied with a smile. "A wolf pack is a formidable thing."

They dressed, then led the horses outside where Buchanan saddled them and loaded the saddle bags. Sky had occupied himself with exploring everywhere but when it was time to go and he was called by name he came running. Buchanan picked the wolf cub up and placed him inside his shirt. At first Sky tried to get out but his new master looked sternly at him.

"Stay there," he said. "We're going to ride and I want you where I can see you."

The cub sighed and curled up inside his shirt. Once they started Ileana could see him looking out on occasion, seeming to enjoy the ride. A few hours later they were at the ravine and went carefully down the rocky path then up again on the other side. For a moment Buchanan looked at the path to Bruce the Giant's hut wondering if it was prudent to make a quick detour but decided it was more important to bring Ileana to their home. An hour later they entered the courtyard and both dismounted their horses which were taken by grooms immediately. Ileana looked up at the castle, her new home and turned to see Buchanan watching her reaction.

"Are you pleased?" he asked. "It is an older castle and I do have plans to modernize it. My quarters...our quarters were to be improved after I was here last. I will take you there but I wish you to meet my father first."

"I would like that," she replied, putting her hand out to him. "From the outside the castle looks large. I'm a little overwhelmed by the size, to be honest."

He smiled. "Mary, the housekeeper, will handle all the day to day running of the household," he said. "I have known her since I was a boy and she is good with my father. We will see her after we visit him."

Eagerly he led her to his father's quarters where the older man sat looking out the window. Buchanan led Ileana in and bade her wait at the door while he prepared his father to meet her. She watched as he knelt at his father's knee, gently taking his hand. At first the old man didn't react then he recognized his son and a big smile came to his face.

"Bucky, my boy," he kissed his son, affectionately. "You've come home. The war is done? You helped restore Steven to his throne?"

"Yes Father, the war is done, and Steven is king once more," said Buchanan patiently. "There is someone else I brought with me. I have taken a wife. Her name is Ileana."

He motioned for her to come forward and she knelt in front of the old man.

"Hello Father," she said softly. "James has told me about you."

The older Barnes looked at Ileana with a soft and loving face. Gently he touched her hair and then her cheek.

"You are very pretty," he said with a smile. "My Bucky, is he good to you?"

"He is, sir," she replied. "I love him deeply."

"Good," he said. "He was so sad when Elena died. He needed a good woman to help heal his heart. You have the look of love on you."

"Father, Ileana carries our child," said Buchanan. "A grandchild for you to have on your knee."

"A child?" exclaimed the older Barnes. "That is wonderful. You will be a good father. Now, what is it that you carry inside your shirt? I just saw some black fur."

Buchanan reached inside his shirt and pulled out the wolf cub. "He followed us for many miles by himself. Somehow he became lost from his pack. He ate from our fingers and slept with us last night so I think he chose us as his new pack. His name is Sky."

The old man laughed and held the pup in his arms. Sky licked the older Barnes' face, then curled up in his lap. Ileana and Buchanan watched happily as the black wolf cub endeared himself to the old man. Buchanan hadn't seen his father this animated in years and it pleased him that the pup had taken a liking to his father. His father fed the pup the remains of his meal from the table beside him which cemented their relationship. Several times he looked up at his son and daughter-in-law and his eyes were clear, his manner direct and his voice strong. It was as good an introduction as any they could have expected.
