A new reason for Hate

[Deleted]

Mairath watched from the shadows of the trees this burned out village. Through the night he had searched and realized that others were coming back. From the talk it appeared they had been with a larger troupe of humans. He growled lightly to himself. He was hungry. And his Master needed new slaves.

::Master, humans return to the burned out village. I shall feast on some, leave the others for you::

Gelithron felt that and chuckled to himself, a deep rumble left his chest ::Well done my Beast. I shall join you soon.::

He turned to Nuwolf and moved to the entrance to his lair, ::Come, we hunt:: Nuwolf follows him out and climbs onto his back. Then He rises into the air and they head towards Mairath and the burned out village. He thought of all the things he would do to them. And again he thought of his Eavi. He growls again. He will kill Kez and his servants and any who have seen him. But not before he tortures them. And Eavi.. she will get his special attention, she will wish she had chosen to stay as the only favor he will show her is his wraith. Perhaps his Beast would like a pet or Nuwolf.

He flew towards the village and looked down to see if this rabble of humans were almost there. He could see them coming up the path to village and chuckles. They would be in for a surprise. There were not many, but enough. He could taste their fear, even from high above them.. and one.. oh the anger.. he could feed off her anger and hate for oh yes, weeks.

He focused on that one, who was she angry with? Who did she hate?

Sahira didn't feel the touch to her mind, she was too busy seething, not watchful, not being wary as she should be all she could think about was her growing hate for Dragons.. especially one.

Gelithron probed her mind, oh yes, this one hated his kind, now.. she would have a new reason for hate. She would become subject to his will and whim, and outwardly she would love it.. beg for the torture, while inwardly she would hate him and his kind all the more. Jezraith was where her hate was focused. If he could somehow make her think that it was his fault or he was him..

he couldn't help himself.. he laughed outwardly as he circled towards the ground. a large black cloud had passed under him. He took advantage of that. Morning was coming but to them it would seem as though night would never leave.

As he descends he passes through the cloud and shadow billows out around him, descending around and over the village as a blackness blankets them.

Mairath took that as his cue and his own shadow added to his Master's as he came up behind them shifting into the beast he had been changed into - his former self lost in shadow and death, taking the first male as he lets out a cry. He always ate from the bottom up.. inflicting the most pain to his victim.

The cry combined with the blackness and shadow that descended brought Sahira from her thoughts, she tried to gather those to her, but she couldn't see them even as they screamed and cried out right next to her.. she couldn't see them. She reached out only to grasp air as they did the same.

Another man disappeared with a scream, his horrifying cries as he was eaten alive burned into the ears of those that remained. The few children that came with her were silenced in the horror, huddled together crying, calling for their parents.

Gelithron lands with a ground shaking thud, some of the buildings that were somewhat in tack fell to the ground and the sound was like the crackle of thunder. Nuwolf jumped from his Master's back and went straight towards the children. He reassured them with lies, saying they would be alright, gathering them to him. When one resists he uses force to keep them quiet. Shadow encircling each of their necks as though a collar, tendrils rising up to join with these shadow collars forcing the three young children and one teen on the other side of Gelithron and into silence.

Enough light was permitted as Gelithron approaches Sahira, his large head coming in close, "Hello Pretty one" his gruff growled words like rock scraping against rock to her ears. Shadow also rising to encircle her neck, the tendril attaching her to him. "Welcome home"

Mairath was enjoying his last meal, leaving only 1 male, 3 females and children. As he approaches his Master and the other two women he waits, sniffing them. They smelled delicious, though one he noted was with child and the other was ready to bear a child. He wondered if Gelithron would permit him to breed. He chuckles.

Gelithron moves, "Get on my back pretty and its either that or I carry you in my claws, and I can't promise I won't let you go." her eyes wide with fear as she with Nuwolf's aid climbs on, the children behind her and Nuwolf.

Mairath motions for the other two women to get on his back and as Gelithron rises he clutches the male in his claws.

He could feel the anger and hate of Sahira turning to fear and he chided her, ::Now now pretty one. Do not fear only hate. You will grow in hate towards my kind that my pretty one is a promise::

Mairath took the long way, staying behind the hills and mountains to keep the sun from reaching him before he got to the lair as the two women held on.

As He reaches his lair and lands, Nuwolf dragging Sahira off, and helping the children down. Two other males that had stayed come in to get the children and starts to usher them away with promises of playtime all afternoon. Sahira opens her mouth to call the children back when Nuwolf drags her into the lair, "Come pretty one, your Master wants you waiting for him and ready.

He chuckled as he took her across the lair down a familiar hall and to a door that didn't seem to exist. He opens it however, and pushes her in.

It hadn't been cleaned out since Mairath was created and the dead headless bird remained there. The other beasts were asleep.

He pushed her against the wall, attaching manacles to each wrist and securing them to the wall, then putting a collar around her neck, locking it in the back.

Gelithron enters in a shroud of shadow and darkness, stepping from it as one steps from a door.

"Well my pretty pet, first I thank you for not fighting. It would have been a pity to have to eat you too soon" his voice made the hair on the back of her neck rise and a shudder of terror move through her. He saw it and it made him chuckle, "So my pet, what shall we do to you first?" He could see a branding iron was heating up. He had planned to use it on his Fazoq woman, but now he had another prize to claim. "Nuwolf, secure her legs to the wall as well." he did so, her feet flat on the floor, but unable to move them as they were secured to rings on either side of her ankle. He knew what Gelithron was going to do so he took a leather strap and secured her right leg to the wall. He could see her trying to move, but she couldn't move her leg and her eyes widened with fear.

Gelithron moves to the fire and pulls out the branding iron. It had two templates on it and they were red hot as he turns. She starts to scream, "No! You can't do this! NOOooo!" he let her scream as he approached her right thigh. On the side it would burn.. he leans in, his lips a breath away from hers, "I"d be still if I were you, this is going to hurt" she grows quiet

He backs away and quickly presses the branding iron to her right thigh, waits a few seconds before pulling it off. The smell of burning flesh rising into the air. The brand going a few layers deep so that it would take a lifetime for it to go away, if it ever did. She was branded as His now.

He grins though and turns to her left leg, "Now, don't move your leg or it will hurt even more" before she can react she feels the burning pain against her left thigh as well, when he pulls it away she screams in pain, tears flowing freely. Nuwolf laughing as he watched the woman's humiliation and pain.

"Nice work Master, and they are even, you could draw a line from one to the other and it would be straight" They laughed again. Nuwolf applied a salve to it so that it would heal, but it didn't lessen the pain, infact it was made to increase the pain.

Gelithron approached again, stripping her of her clothing and giving her a small tube of a cloth to wear, it would hide nothing really, but it was tight around her chest and stomach, making it difficult to breath. He watches as Nuwolf releases her legs and pulls it up over her thighs dragging against the healing flesh of the burn but not messing up the brands she now had. When it was fitted around her he could see she was not breathing as easily.

"Now pet, this won't keep you from breathing, but it will make it difficult. Your lungs will begin to ache, as will your stomach and chest. You will not be able to eat as much, unless I decide to make you." she shudders as he sports a cruel grin, "And you will still be required to work as though you were not wearing it."

He turns to face her as she spits in his face, he chuckles and looks into her eyes, not allowing her to look away as he holds to her head, he enters her mind, ::You will smile and laugh and giggle and respond as though you love it here and love being the newest pet. You can hate me all you want inside, but the moment you express it your life will become much worse. There are things I have yet to try on a human, so if you want to give me a reason to make you my newest experiment, then spit at me again.:: he filled her mind with all the horrors he had created while experimenting as he spoke with her. He touched the center of her mind, entering it as though he entered a room, stepping through a portal of shadow and darkness, leaving that portal there, he whispered words ancient and old, dark and evil, using a spell to bind her to him, to secure that portal in her mind, but only he can enter or exit, to her it was covered in bars of solid rock, unmovable, unbreakable.

As he continued to speak ancient words, the room in her mind got smaller, she could hardly move around in it and she could scream all she wanted, no one heard her. What seemed like a half day of horror was less.. he stepped away, the manacles releasing her as she sank to the floor, panting.

"Come pet, there is work to be done"

she rose and while screaming inside, she could herself say, "Yes Master" and she hurried behind him. She didn't see his face for a while, but the form of him seemed familiar and when he turned she saw the face of Jezraith, though it wasn't his voice, her anger burned inside, her hate rose, "Food needs to be made, the children tended to. Now go. The midday meal must be ready on time." she turned to run, her breathing quickened in the tight skin she was forced to wear, but she smiled and worked.

Mairath soon arrived with the other two women, the one ready to give birth to a child waddled into the lair. Gelithron approached her, now in his human form he touched her belly and smiled, "Good a boy and a girl. They shall serve their father well" she was about to object when she felt the metal slip around her neck and secured in the back.

Mairath was bringing the other woman in, Gelithron could see the lust in his eyes, and nods, "She is yours to breed with" Mairath growls in pleasure, and dragging her along to his own lair lower to the ground, but still not easy to get out of. There he would indeed mate with her, and she would serve him as long as he saw fit. When she stopped being of service, he would eat her.

Nuwolf watched, he had a slave of his own, but he still wanted another and he knew exaclty who that would be. He would wait, for now.

He joined Gelithron's side, standing with him as they watch Sahira move about the room. They could feel her hate and disgust and knew that as she moved by now her belly was in pain.

The time passed and the midday meal was finally ready. They sat down to eat and Sahira served them first, then got a small bowl of her own, filling it. Gelithron, looked at her, "after we have eaten, then you can eat" he knew she was hungry, she would sit and watch as all the other slaves, the children and her Master's all ate. Only when all of them were finished then she would eat.

Finally she would be able to eat as the last of the children finally finished. the woman with child took them to play, Gelithron stirred the pot and grinned, "Finish what is left" he knew it was too much, but it would fun to watch her do it with a smile on her face. He sat across from her and watched, stepping into her mind as she began to eat. "Hurry up" she started to eat faster. The skin she wore around her midsection started to strain against her. she could feel it and didn't know how she could finish the rest of the pot, but she would because she was told to and she ate as fast as she could. He watched her eyes, he could see her discomfort there, though her face suggested other wise and it made him grin. He remains silent as she eats 4 bowls of stew, then starts the last one. He could tell it was getting more and more difficult, she was eating slower now, taking more time between bites. He grins still, "You are eating to slow pet" he watched as she picked up the pace, nearly throwing up after each bite. The last of it finished he hands her a large mug of water, "Drink, then clean up." he rose and disappeared into his sleeping chamber.

Inside she seethed, and he mocked her, but she could only see the face of Jezraith when he spoke. her hate for the red growing with each day.
