As we woke up and got the news of Rasartine's unditional surrender, we rushed outside where eople leaving. Stopping someone who was running away, I ask, “What happen to the soldiers?”
“They fled the moment they got the news, so all of us leave. You better hurry who knows when the Gevurah soldiers will be here.”
Turning to my wife, I say, “Let’s go.”
“Right.”
Running back to our carriage, we immediately make to leave. While holding the reins of our carriage I feel incredibly tense, but beside me, my wife says, “It will be ok.”
Riding down the road, I see a young woman lying on the floor and scream, “Help me!”
“Yamal, we o stop over there!”
Gritting my teeth, I say, “No we have to keep riding, every sed is precious we ’t afford to waste time.”
Forcefully taking the reigns from me, my wife stops the carriage. Jumping out she goes to help the woman as I scream, “Tarina, what the hell are you doing!”
“Shut up you big cry-baby. If we were to leave her you would just end up sad ter and I don’t feel like dealing with that, BLEH!”
“Every sed is precio-.”
“Then stop pining and help me Yamal.”
Begrudgingly, I ruo them, and I see that the woman is g and has a broken leg. As we take her to the back of the carriage she tearfully says, “Thank you, thank you. I am so sorry.”
“No worries, just hurry up.”
As I load her onto the back of the carriage my wife says, “I will go sit and bandage her leg.”
“Ok, but just so you know I won’t be able to ride gently.”
“I know, go as fast as you .”
Returning to my seat, I make the horse move at full strength while saying, “I know I am being demanding of you but please I need your help.”
We tinue down the road for about 10 minutes, but I hear something far away as we are about to exit the forest, so I draw to a halt.
From the back, I hear, “Yamal what’s the problem?”
“Don’t worry I just want to cheething.”
Jumping off the carriage, I ruo the exit of the forest and in the distance I see a group of solder tying up people. “That fg isn’t from Rasartihose soldiers are from Gevurah.”
Running back to the carriage, I scream, “Tarina!”
Walking out she says, “Yamal?”
Grabbing her hands I say, “You told me to rely on you in this marriage.”
fused, she says, “Yes I did.”
“So I need you to do something for me, up ahead of us are solder so I need you to-.”
“I REFUSE!”
“Tarina be reasonable.”
“No, I didn’t marry you just so I would abandon you at such important moments. One body takes ohing together, so I refuse I need you to follow me.”
With the most calm yet serious voice I have ever had in my life, I say, “Tarina please listen. I am going to serve as a distra while you ride the other way.”
“No, let’s both go there is a ce we both escape.”
“Some soldiers were heading this way, so I o route them all away. It will increase your ces of escape.”
“Yamal, I ’t let you die.”
“Don’t worry Tarina there is a zero pert ce I will die.”
With tears, she says, “But, but.”
“Don’t cry darling, please just trust me, I know I handle myself and don’t you have a depe in the carriage back there? You o make sure she escapes as well.”
Getting herself under trol, she says, “I trust you Yamal, so you better e bae otherwise I will never five you.” Then I get a big kiss on my lips.
“I swear on my life.”
From the carriages, I take one of the horses, and I jump on its back saying, “Good luck darling.”
“And my god be with you, darling.”
Hearing this I ride off down the road as Tarina goes in another dire. While I ride off at full speed behind me, I see behind me soldiers riding on what looks to be a lionlike wonderbeast, and then above me I see arrows.
Man with my house I dodge the arrows, and as I do excitement fills my soul. Running away from bad guys on my trusty steed as arrows rain down on me so I protect my treasure. This is what being an adventurer is like!
Riding the horse as fast as I I tinue my fantasy in my head, but soon I am knocked off my horse and caught. While restrained I am dragged back to the remaining soldiers who say, “Looks like we caught anood ohe boss will be happy.”
“We better hurry before any of the other armies find us.”
“Knock the men out it makes it easier to take them.”
“The’s start with this annoyi here.”
Feeling a for the bay head I fall unscious.
-Break-
As a cold sensation washes over me I open my eyes to see that I am naked and surrounded by a bunch of other naked people, males and females of all ages.
We are all in what looks to be a dark grey blocky area, and in front of us as men dousing us in water. As one of the children beside me screams, “It’s too cold!”
One of the men says, “SHUT THE FUCK UP.”
As the kid starts g the man says, “Looks like I o teach you a lesson little.”
Walking up to the kid he grabs her as she screams, “Stop.”
Seeing this I stand up and say, “What the he-.”
But I am hit away. “Piss off, you get a turn ter.”
As the girl tio scream, I try to get up, but I spit up blood. That punch was strong it must have been spirit arts. This is bad I ’t let this happen.
“Now what the hell are you doing?”
Turning around the man who picked up the girl looks frightened as he stares at a smaller man behind him. Bowing he says, “2iburcio.” As he bows the man shakes untrolbly.
With a friendly smile, the man iburcio says, “o be scared all I want is an ao my question, so what were you doing?”
“I-I-I-I Was just going to punish this brat for being excessively noisy.”
Walking over to me, Tiburcio asks, “Are you ok?”
His friendly aura catches me off guard, so I respond with, “Not really, my face hurts.”
Looking at my face, Tiburcio says eically, “My god what the hell your face is hel bruised.” Turning to the man, he says, “Hey don’t hit this man so hard ime.”
“Yes, boss.”
“You hear that, looks like you won't be getting hit so bad ime.”
What he says indicates he isn’t angry at the fact I was hit but the iy. Despite realizing this, his iious aura causes me to say, “Thank you.”
“Don’t worry about it, bck brothers like us o stand as one.” Getting up he walks over to the man while saying, “Now back to business.”
Standing in front of him, he says, “What’s your name?”
“Draken,” he says while shivering.
“Calm down Draken, all that shivering is making me feel very unfortable, I just want to have a talk as friends.”
With his nerves calming, Draken says, “Yes sir.”
“Draken, do you know how mu 8-year-old virgin goes for?”
“Not reall-.”
Before he finish Tiburcio bads him in the face so hard he flies into the wall to my right. Looking at his body in the wall I see a rge blood sptter, it is almost like his body exploded on impact, he’s dead.
“Oops sorry about that, looks like I was still angry at you for harming my brother over there.” Turning around, Tiburcio faces all the uards and says, “The sale of that single girl could buy me 10 times the men currently here and also allow me to pay eae of them a higher sary than all of you. DON’T TOUCH THE FUG MERDISE!”
With fright, they all say, “YES SIR!”
Pointing to one of the men he says, “Now chair.”
“I will go get one sir.”
“You misuand, you bey chair.”
With a nervous seriousness, the man runs towards Tiburcio and goes on his ko bee a chair. Sitting on the man. Tiburcio faces us and says with energy, “Hi, guys!!”
Not a single one of us responds, so Tiburcio says, “I am going to try that again, and I want all of you to know anyone who doesn’t respond might end up looking like jam. So, for a sed time, HI GUYS!”
Frightened we all say, “Hi Tiburcio.”
“See even when you’re in hell you should make sure to keep your manners. Now as of the st few hours, Rasartine has been queror by Gevurah and because of that all citizens and residents of Rasartine are allowed to join our lovely kingdom ous indoation Gevurah or leave and be on your way!”
Around the room, I feel all the people light up with hope, but as I feel it reach its maximum Tiburcio says, “Well at least that is what would have happened if you were caught by any of the normal armies. But you all lucked out and were found by my boss's army, and you see my boss loves to profit so he ands us to kidnap refugees to turn into sves outside of anyone’s watch.”
Someone in the room screams, “There are way too many of us here, someone will notice that the amount of people who left the kingdom was too little.”
“Righto, but we have already ated for that. All your possession were burned along with fake bodies so as far as the world is ed, we just butchered you all. Of course, our boss will get in trouble with the higher-ups for this massacre, but he is too important to fay serious punishments.”
Getting up from his chair, he says, “SO, let's all work our hardest to make as much money as possible. Now boys take them away.”
From that day on I was kept in a cage and maltreated every day. We were beaten, insulted and our food was messed with, they basically did everything except what would kill us.
Some of us were exempt from this treatment, it was high-end individuals who would sell for much more than old ugly men like me. Whenever I saw these people I had envy for them, but that was soon repced by pity.
On the days when we were all lined up to be bought it was always those people who were taken, but what was worse than that was that it was always women or young children. You could see the horror in their eyes when they were taken. My mind could barely hahe sound of their g and screaming not to be taken.
Every day I fought against physical aal battles in this pce, but ohi me going throughout it all; my promise to Tarina. I swore to God I would see her again and even if it kills me I will do it, and besides I o have sex again.
Getting punched in the fact, one of the guards says, “What the hell are you smiling about?”
“Thinking about my beautiful wife and how soft her ski.”
Hitting me again he says, “I guess that is the best a sve like you do, especially since you will never see her again.”
“Sorry about that, I was being rude. You have obviously never experiehe wonder of a woman wanting to have sex with you, so I shouldn’t have brought it up.” Bowing I say, “Sorry my man.”
As the men behind him start giggling, he says, “Your dead you bastard!”
Suddenly s e and rip the man's hand off. “I am sorry, but don’t you touother hair on that man's head.”
Looking out my broken cage door, I see a beautiful young man with gold hair which has some b it. As he walks over to me, I say, “Who the hell are you?”
Stuffing an apple in my mouth he says, “A man who won’t ever let you be abused again.”
