Before Sir Pheli joined the steemlords quests….Before they merged into their single and confusing solo form…..before they vanquished the Succubus Demon……before they had many adventures together....but after Phil was a country bumpkin trapping spiders under glasses for his fearful mother.

There was just Phil and Eli.

Actual photo of the famed Phil and Eli.

Two handsome and dashing knights working for the same agency trying to bring peace, health and justice to the far north of Canada borealis.

Phil and Eli were trained healers as well as brave warriors, but they were still unknowns to each other.

They had heard tales of the other on their travels through the remote towns in Canada Borealis.

They finally crossed paths while they were both stationed in Eabametoong.

They were also assigned to be bunk mates.

This is their story.

“So this is this Eli I’ve heard so much about” Phil thought while he watched this balding but handsome (not in a gay way) young man, coming up the walkway to their bunkhouse.

“Hey Eli! Need a hand with your bags?” Phil asked.

“Nah, I can manage” Eli replied.

None the less Phil helped to bring his cooler into the bunkhouse. “What did you bring us, bud? Did you smuggle in any booze” He asked.

“A bit of everything, but no booze unfortunately” Chuckled Eli.

“You brought steak man! Let’s eat them up!” Phil proclaimed excitedly, after rummaging through the food this stranger brought.

“For sure dude! Does the BBQ work here, it looks pretty busted?” questioned Eli.

“Don’t worry I can get it going, I have a knack for that” and with this Phil went to work to repair the BBQ and cook some steaks.
After Eli unpacked they dined on the steaks and got to know each other.

“So what do you wanna do man?” Asked Eli.

“I heard there are sports over at the lord’s manor in the evenings and sometimes the maidens go we should check it out” Phil suggested with a devious smirk.

“I like that sound of that” Replied Eli.

They headed over to the manor and sure enough there was quite the volleyball game going on.

Eli was the more skilled athlete to say the least. Everyone kept claiming Phil was “lifting” whatever the heck that meant, but that didn’t stop them both from garnering the attention of a few of these maidens.

That’s when their bond started to grow, when they returned to the bunkhouse to hatch there plans.

******
“So man, how are we gonna get a better chance to hang out with these maidens and show off our awesomeness more” Asked Eli.

“Don’t worry about that, I got a few idea man” Replied Phil and he laid down the plan.

Already it was become apparent that Phil was going to be the instigator and schemer in this group, and Eli seemed quite pleased to follow along with whatever ideas he cooked up for them.

“A potluck eh?” Eli said “And we’ll invite all the nurses…er, Knights to come as well as all the teachers, er… maidens then it’s not so weird and forward, plus they’ll be so many people we will really have a chance to shine”

“Exactly!, Call that guy that arranged the volleyball to let him know and I’m sure he’ll get all the maidens here.”

The night of the potluck came, Phil and Eli baked one amazing Sheppard’s pie and there was a feast laid out. Many of the knights were on call for emergencies and many of the maidens needed to prepare lessons for the children so the party dwindled quickly.

There were only 3 maidens and Phil and Eli remaining.

“Well let’s figure out something to do for the rest of the evening, there must be games or something somewhere in this bunkhouse” Asked Eli.

“Check those cupboards and over by that desk, you never know what someone left here before,” Suggested Phil, indicating for the maidens where to search.

“Someone left twister here? I guess that will have to do”

What other kinds of crazy adventures did Phil and Eli get into before Steemlords?
