The fervent winds blew as the legs of horses crossed the grassy lands. The leader of the group, Ontaro, surveyed the lands with his sharp eyesight. His face was perfectly aligned, like he was a man brought out of the dreams of a young girl. His blonde hair waved in the wind as he raised his hand and clenched.
The group behind him came to a stop following his command. A petit girl, yena, jumped down from her horse and went over to ontaro. She looked at him, her expression giving away a questioning look.
Ontario said nothing, he pointed his sword at a far away object . Yeah looked but couldn’t see anything until she looked well enough to notice an object.
“Brother lee, what’s the problem?” she asked, seeing as there was nothing special to the object. Ontario got down from his horse and patted it, giving the reins to yena he said “it’s a human can’t you see?”
Yea tugged the reins of the horse a bit as she squinted her eyes trying to have a closer look at the far away object but she still couldn’t see much more. Ontario chuckled a bit seeing her squint her eyes so much “Don’t try so hard, you won’t se it anyway.” He patted her head
“Ya yan!” Ontario called.
A huge man with a manacing face stepped down from his horse and ran over to ontaro since he was at the back of the line. He knelt down and bowed his head when he reached ontaro.
Ontaro loosened his sheathed sword from his waist and placed it on yayan's outstretched arms. “Take care of Riviere while I’m gone” ontaro said to the man
“Yes my lord” yayan responded. His face was sweaty. The Lord’s son had had this creepy obsession with his sword since the death of the first lady. He always carried it anywhere he went but never truly used it; keeping it with him, yayan, everytime he was about to do something which may involve the use of weapons.
If a scratch so much as came on that sword, that day heaven and earth would fall. The previous sword bearer was a perfect example of what could happen.
The small Lord had gone to a sparring competition hosted by one of his friends and had handed the sword over to the previous sword bearer for safe keeping. The sword bearer was careless with it and misplaced the sword. By the time it was found in the hands of some children, marks had already appeared over the blade. Long story cut short, that man is now the poorest man in the city.
Yena rolled her eyes seeing the sword her brother handed yayan. Ontaro then started walking away. Yena stopped him as she lightly dragged his clothes, “where are you going?”
“Somewhere” Ontaro responded with barely any emotion.
“Somewhere where? There’s nothing out there….” Yena kept asking
Ontaro sneered in irritation, hitting her hands off his clothes he adjusted his rove and went on without a word.
Yena was used to this type of behaviour from him now, he had always been like this since she could remember. One time he would be nice and cool to everyone and then in the blink of an eye, it would be as if he never even knew them and didn’t want to be around them for a while.
Doctors had said he would stabilize overtime but no change had happened. He was still like that despite all the medications.
“Follow him” yama ordered the group.
Ontaro walked quite a but before he arrived at his destination, while the g rouo trailed him slowly.
Ontaro crouched beside a body. The man was wearing a jacket which had torn all over. His whole body was bloody, his face the bloodiest. Even the surroundings were dyed blood red. It seemed like he had fought a tough battle here. But he survived it all since he was breathing, though a little bit ragged and slower than the normal breathing rate.
“Saijan!” Ontaro called a name as he poked the body with his small dagger, drawing blood out of it.
A tall well tanned female appeared next to him seconds after he called. She had an air of arrogance about her as she looked at the body on the grass.
“ Take him with you” Ontaro said playing with the small dagger in his hands. He had contemplated putting the man out of his misery by ending his life but he discovered that besides the vast amount of blood present, there was no sign of any visible injuries to his body. Besides…he had another use….
Saijan carried the man with one arm, her well defined muscles glimpsing at the sunlight. “Young Lord, what do we do with him?” saijan asked as she walked back to the group with Ontaro.
A gentle breeze blew by as ontaro's blonde hair waved a bit “he’ll make a good servant”
…
Sky feather city, one of the seven major cities of the established human kingdom. It was time to people of all trades. Whether one was a merchant, a mercenary, a healer, an alchemist, a witch…they all flicked here. It was established during the great war hundreds of years back, first as a fortress. Then gradually it turned into the magnificent city today.
The gates of the city were wide open with hundreds of people coming in and out. The knights collected an amount of money from those coming in before they were allowed entrance but a particular group of people were not taxed.
Ontaro led this group as he rode on his horse; saijan and yena by his side’s. A green haired man hung sideways on Salman horse seeming to be unconscious.
The group headed directly for the Lee Lord’s house. The Lee family was part of the seven families of the city. The heads of these families ruled the sky feather city together. Sharing all advantages and disadvantages that came from it.
It took hours before the group arrived at the Lord Lee's house. The gates were golden in color, the imposing head of a lion placed right in its center. As the gate opened, it would give an impression of the lion roaring.
Saijan escorted Ontaro to his quarter while yena was off to hers. It would be agonizing spending another minute with her brother!
Saijan carried the unconscious man over her shoulders as her face dropped in displeasure. She was beginning to get uncomfortable with the man on her shoulders.
“Young Lord ontaro, where do you propose this man stays? Would he stay in your quarters?” she asked, she was a busy woman…she had more important things to do. She didn’t accept this job just to become a carriage for a practically dead man.
Ontaro’s tongue clicked and his eyebrows raised up like he had just remembered something he had forgotten.
He kept playing with his father as he pricked himself a little and kicked the blood of the blade.
“offer him to Selina, tell her I’ve fulfilled my promise”
Saijan was unfazed by the disturbing actions of Ontario, he was a frequent contractor of her services so she was around him for a very long time. Conduct like this was normal behaviour for him.
She adjusted the body on her shoulders and with a nod she carried him over to another place in the compound.
Lord Lee’s house was quite large, since it was home to three of his children and the rest of the servants.
Ontaro was the only boy and the eldest child. Yena was the youngest while Selina was the middle born. Selina and Ontaro were quite close. Yena was sort of like the outcast among them.
Saijan strode over yo a part of the mansion. There a gate stood with flower embroidery all over it. One could see the garden of flowers in the particular compound from right outside the gates.
Two guards in knight armor stood outside the gate and they crossed their spears, barring saijin's entrance. Saijan had no time for the formalities and just threw the man she carried right to the floor in front of the guards.
“Little Lord Ontaro says this man should be delivered to little Lord selina on the basis of his promise fulfilled” she said with a cold voice and was immediately on her way ousted of the residence.
The two guards looked at each other before one of them picked the man up and made his way inside the gates. The man was quite heavy though, but that saijan still carried him effortlessly….
The man stopped at a door with a rose drawn on its front beautifully. Two women in maid uniform stood on each side of it. The design of the door was really elegant, leaving on to wonder how much more elegant the thing it guarded would be.
The guard hesitated for a moment as he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door. No response came and he knocked for the second time. A sound like a chair moving was heard and a defining voice came from the inner room “Come in”
The guard’s heart rate was slowly increasing. That f*****g witch! No one wanted to be in her presence carelessly.
He opened the door slowly and a whiff of a peculiar fragrance passers by his nose. The smell made him feel hot…like he was an animal that desperately needed yo mate right now. An embarrassed expression appeared on his face but luckily he was in armor so no sign of any thing could be seen.
…
A girl of about young adult age with a ponytail sat on her bed. Beside her a chair was placed and a man sat on it. It seemed like a normal situation until one delved deeper.
The hands of the man were tied to the back of the chair and his legs also lightly tied together. His pants were brought down to the floor exposing his member for the world to see. The member stood erect like a soldier who wouldn’t mover from its position.
The girl smiled as she dropped a vial by her side. It was already empty. She then took a box by her side with a lock on it. Her eyes seemed to glaze as she looked at the box excited at its contents.
The man's eyes rolled over to the top. God damn this spoilt brat! She had drugged him…with an aphrodisiac at that! God knows what she was planning by giving him something like that!
The girl smiled as she opened the lock and brought out what was in the box. It was an unusual insect, about half a thumb long. It was like an ant but its colours changed very minute. Sometime it would be blue, sometime red, sometime yellow and on and on.
The girl carefully carried the insect in her hands and gently placed her hand on the member of the man. As she adjusted its position, she began speaking. “ I trust that you do know what this insect is” she said as she traced her hands over the man's member. “ in the case you do not know, I will tell you. It is called the five colored ant. Now it may not seem so special by one bit of it is said to make one feel a pain comparable to that of being hit by a war hammer right in the face.” She Saud chuckling as the man's face slowly changed to a horrified one.
“hmff mff hmf!” He struggled to speak as the chair shook but the girl just put a hand on his lips calming him down.
“you know why I am doing this to you?” she said bringing the ant closer and closer to the man's member. The man nodded fervently as drops of swear slowly slid down his face.
The girl placed her hands on his face and brought the restraints down from his mouth allowing him to speak freely. “pls Lord selina, this servant has greatly angered y….”
“ssshh” the girl cut him off as she placed her index finger on his rosy red lips. The man kept quiet, he had no other choice!
“Now all I want to hear is how you wronged me understood?” she said with a soothing voice while she kept the ant just inches away from the man’s erect member.
“I reported to duty later than I should have. I know I am wrong, I really do…please Lord selina spare me. I have a wife and daugh…”
“hush ya” she said with a silencing signal again to the man.
“I am glad that you know your wrong doings but for every sin comes a punishment, certainly not even you will go Scot free” selina said, her smile vanishing and she got ready to get down to the torturing.
At that moment a knock came in the door, saving the brutal scene the that would have ensued.
Selina’s eyes narrowed as she once again put the restraints on the man's mouth preventing him from speaking further. She was about to continue with the torture ignoring the previous knock when it sounded again.
She gently placed the ant in the box she had brought and kicked it then answers the door with a “Come in”
…
The guard's eyes widened ad he saw who was in the room. No, not selina, it was the other guy in the room…magao! ‘so he was here!’
This was the man who was the princess’ favourite among the guards, he always followed her wherever she went. He was her most trusted guard.
About a few days ago, the princess needed his device at a particular time but he was nowhere to be found. It wasn’t till about half an hour later that he came for his duties.
The princess was furious at that, he had dared come late to serve her! Everyone knew that was like a death sentence I the Lord Lee’s house. She had ordered him to be put in the cells for some days and since then no one had heard of him. So this was the “cells” he was to be put in? But wait…why was his ding ding out? In the princess’ room? Where the two about to….?
“what business do you have here?” displeasure was in the voice of selina seeing the guard. He had interrupted her fun experiment. It took her days to prepare a good torture like this…this man couldn’t ruin it for her.
“M…my lady hmm hmm” the guard was caught off guard as he cleared his throat and bowed, he had almost forgotten his manners.
“my lady, the Prince had returned from his outing and had offered you a gift in return for a promise he made” the guard said desperately trying to ignore the effects of the aphrodisiac on him and the sight in front of him.
“oh really?” selina's face brightened up. “what had he gifted me?”
“excuse me my lady” the guard said and biwrd his head as he went out of the door. He had kept the ‘gift’ beside the door. He dragged the body into the room right in from of the princess.
“my lady, this is the gift which he has brought”
“Wonderful!” selina got up from her chair and took a close look at the body. It was a man with green haired and handsome facial features. Not too prominent muscles but just enough to complement his looks.
“not bad….” Smiles filled her face, her brother had really delivered on his promise…he had gotten her a plaything!
“Take your colleague and leave” selina said without a thought.
Hearing that, the tied up man's expression was priceless. It was like he had just been saved from death…which he clearly had! The man struggled urging the guard to untie him quickly before he could spend another minute in the room.
The two guards left the room leaving the been haired man with selina. She noticed that he was unconscious and a large amount of blood stained his body. Perhaps her brother had to ‘silence’ the man just to get him for her…he really had fulfilled his promise.
“Rose, Sun Flower” selina called her two maids into the room.
“yes my lady” the two arrived and bowed.
“wash up this man, put him in the best quarters available and test him of any injuries he has”
“yes my lady” the two responded as usual and carried the man out of the room.
Selina lied flat on her bed looking to the ceiling ‘life will finally be interesting’ she thought
