~A dungeon~
"Is it true what they say about you, stranger?"
A pale faced man with smears all of his face, spearing the goatie, bulky eyes and pierced nose, called at Kie who was seated at the other end of the pit. The pale faced was opposite him, his back to the cold wall, a wierd and unnecessary smile feasting on the delicateness of his cheeks.
Kie glared at him and looked away quickly. A side of him was buried in the wall, he would occasionally look up at the rim of bars at the top of the pit, covering the mouth of the pit.
Earlier that day had they killed an adder which had crawled into the pit. And the next few moments comes with no promises for either of them. No guarantee or faults.
"Do you wish to remain silent until you hear your sentence?"
The man came on again. Kie didn't spare him a glance this time. He continued,
"You probably want me to tell you how I ended up here."
He picked a stone with sharp edge and hurled it at Kie without warning. Kie was quick to grab it; the stone had made for his forehead. He ogled the man as the fellow chuckled,
"I think I know your type. You're the type forged in penury and hardship. You do not care whether or not a person is superior to you. Whatever you would have, you would."
He paused as Kie looked away again. To the top precisely.
"I was told by a group of ladies that there lived a sorcerer at the remote part of this land who prepares potion for ladies and help them keep their youth, but they pay with their wombs."
Kie's interest had been picked. His eyes said it all.
"So, I went in search of this sorcerer. Probably he would have a trick up his sleeve for men too. But all I found was an old man who couldn't even remember his name. And since he couldn't give me what I wanted. I sent him where he belonged. He has already overstayed his welcome -- robbed nature."
He chuckled again, revealing his yellow teeth; yellow from casks of mead and ale.
"And so, words got to crazy Wealene and he would have my head on a platter. He had said to slate the judgement for his daughter's birthday, but you have robbed him of that. And robbed me of seeing the beautiful princess just once. If I could only sniff her gown, oh... life wouldn't have been better --"
Kie hurled him that stone and it hit him. On the left shoulder. He flinched. Then started laughing again.
Then he stood up and began to walk towards Kie. Kie held up one of his hands and he stopped. The fellow resumed,
"Tell me. I will give you whatever you want. Who made you the magic... who cast the spell that made her declare you her prince? Please tell me. Say the words. And I'll tell you where my treasures are. They will be yours provided you leave here with your head on your neck."
"How foolish!!!"
Kie shot with disdain, spitting on the earth. His shoulders pushed up in contempt, a suitable ogle complementing.
"What's the essence of being wise when I can become her fool?"
The man argued. Kie kept his expression abreast. The man continued,
"If you would not tell me how you did it. Would you at least let me touch her gown before I'm beheaded. It won't matter for how long. I've only seen her from distance, please help me meet her. I'll be your slave in the afterlife, discarding all my honor and treasures."
The irritation stalking Kie's face was too conspicuous to stay hidden. He was glaring at the man as though he would stab him in several places till he comes to his senses.
"To hell with your Princess. Even if her filthy finger touches me I'll wash myself in the lake for several days to cleanse myself of the irritation!"
The man stared at him as though he had just been shot. His gaze bedazzled, as though he was hearing those words for the first time in his life.
He drew closer to Kie,
"You do not wish to marry the princess? The great princess for whose course, the lips of hundred men move in odes?"
"I would kiss the arse of Talia instead."
Kie spat on the earth again. And suddenly, the pale faced fell on his knees, putting both his palms together in a heartwarming plea. His words soft and tempo lapping,
"I beg you. Please before you reject her, tell her you have a friend who would die for her. That you would rather she marry me instead if you. Please do this for me."
The man crawled to him and grabbed his legs kissing his knees. Kie for a moment lost it, but as soon as he had a hold on his sanity, he pushed the man away. But he kept coming.
"Do you want to die??"
He kicked the man, but the man kept munching,
"Please, my Lord. Do this for me."
Kie stood up suddenly, knowing that he wouldn't rid himself of the man with mere words.

~The Palace~
"I would advise that my Lord, you see through the eyes of the princess since she hasn't made such decision before. Or request."
Jaith, the commander of King Wealene's army, and his special adviser quoted on his knees.
"Maybe I should have your eyes instead."
Wealene threatened and Jaith tossed his head down in plea. Then suddenly came the voice of the Princess from the lobby which led from her chamber,
"Father. Father. Do I even mean anything to you?"
Samantha was hurrying with her, trying to caution her but she had gotten to the throne.
"Can't I have what I want at least for this one time? Must I always do what you want?"
Wealene turned to Jaith,
"Stand up. How many hours did I say the princess must be held in her chamber?"
"6 hours."
Jaith bowed. Malisa kept looking from Jaith to her father unbelievably,
"She'll be on a full lockdown henceforth. Till I have the head of that insolent clodpole on a platter by tomorrow evening."
He stepped off the throne as Malisa sprung at him,
"You are kidding father, aren't you? I'm your daughter not a slave!!!"
Wealene picked his scanty beards,
"Perhaps you should start acting as one."
He walked away as Malisa yelled, the guards in her way,
"I bet what they say about mother is true."
Wealene halted and spun around, his face grim. He started walking back to her,
"My lady."
Samantha muttered as Malisa took a step back. The king got to her and leaned forward, and... kissed her on the forehead. He pat her shoulder.
"She's stressed. Get enough rest."
He walked away. Malisa grunted and yelled, babbling. But those were just light threads to Wealene's fire.
"I'll see you to your chamber, my lady."
Jaith proposed, touching her softly.
"Get your filthy hand off me."
She turned and began to hurry to her chamber crying. Samantha hurried too but she barked,
"Go away. I'll be alone. What use do you have?"
Samantha bowed,
"My lady."
She watched Malisa hurry into her room.

Later that day.~The dungeon~"You wretched bastard!"Samantha called from the mouth of the pit, kneeling at the side, half of her frame projecting into the length of the bars of iron covering the pit.Kie was the first to stand up before the pale faced. The voice registered in his consciousness. He'd heard that voice before."See who is here, the dog of her mistress.""The gods strike you down and make a mess of that your unbridled tongue, you wasted mead!"She struck by in rage. Kie chuckled, walking into the strands of orange rays idling at the centre of the pit."Why waste your time coming here when you can't master your own words? You aren't only a puppet of your miserable mistress but a slave of your rage and unfiltered tongue."She growled in rage and stood up from where she was.

The Palace.~King Wealene and Kie~"Go bring the retarded fool!"Wealene barked an order at Jaith who hurried away, out of the Palace. He took a turn at the left side of the palace building and turned at the end of that block. He strode towards the wooden gate behind the Palace building into the lone garden where all hideous pits and hides were located. Pits which held the dark secrets of the king's pasts.There was a pit which contained several wild animals that fed on themselves whenever the king refused to provide them meals. And one of the numerous pits held the skulls of all the people he had ordered killed with tags of their names hanging over them. Including the bones of the great Soothsayer, Ama et Azholophased."Fools, rise."Jaith called, getting to Kie's and the pale faced's pit. He had grabbed a gallon of water and had turned in into the pit as soon as he got there."Pray to the gods that Wealene spare your lives."

He had never taking a delight in any lady in all his life.Charlene Shamaica (Kie's stalker) was a blond. 5"5, thick and curvy, oblong face, silver eyes, button nose, and soft medium lips. She loved Kie so genuinely and would do anything to make him hers, even being a terror to several other ladies who would not take love as war.

Few Days Later.~King Wealene~"If I may, His Greatness."Jaith pulled the curtain of the inner chamber of the King. King Wealene looked to his side in bed, surrounding by a bevy of naked ladies. He sat up, as one of the ladies trailed her hand down his chest, towards his stomach. He ogled her suddenly as she took the warning.As soon as the ladies paved way for him to see Jaithz he found his words,"Do not tell me you've brought a bad news yet again?"Jaith took few steps in and crashed before the king,"Far from it, His Greatness."Wealene pushed further in the bed and sat at the edge,"Bring him in then."Jaith thrusted his face to the floor."I thought so."The king scorned. Jaith looked up,"We have where he lives. He lives in a cave. The third batch of men has been sent, they are there at the moment. Even men worked through the night in cold and terror.""If you have nothing fruit

And all the people were gathered in the square, the gaurds stationed, the princess at the upper porch staring at Kie who was held up in a drooping cage.Everyone was awaiting the arrival of King Wealene, who would pass the judgement.The wooden cage in which the two of them were locked had iron doors. Kie's hands were tied as well as his legs.

Same.~Kie~"Where's she?"He stopped walking for a little while, looking around him hurriedly. He knew he didn't have the luxury of that time. He knew the guards were still on him and could catch up with him anytime and any moment."The dungeon."He thought he heard someone say that to him. But it didn't matter. He hurried in the direction of the dungeon. He knew the path by heart even though it was once he had visited it."Mother?"He called as soon as he got to mouth of the pit, staring through the bars of rage beaten by wants, into the cold slightly gloomy pit."Are you there, mother? If you're there let me know please."He went on his knees, throwing his face into the bars to look into the far end of the pit. Then suddenly, he heard a movement in the pit. And soon, the silhouette first, then the frame of his mother came to view."What have they done to you mother. I will have the head of that foolish Wealene.

On a Path. The Next Day.~Malisa and Samantha~"It's rather contemplative how His Greatness looked away from the nuances of that insolent hostler."Samantha took a stray off the topic, taking a slight gaze at the princess who was riding beside her on a horse. They were taking the early morning stroll as usual, and the path to which they were headed led to the final hut at the outskirt of the village, Kie's Hut."What say do we have over the wills of the gods?"Malisa came on, taking a quick glance at her. Then looked to the front,"My father, the king, could seem harsh and tough and ruthless. Which all best suit him. But he does have regards for the gods. And he wouldn't go out of his way to insult or ridicule their words."Samantha was quiet for a while, but responded eventually,"But what would you do with the hostler. He sure is so dumb not to acknowledge the feelings of the only and the most beautiful princess in all the wo

Few moments Later.~Kie and Mara~"Have you come to your senses yet?"Mara called, leaning on the back window of the hut. She was in the hut, but looking through the window at Kie, who was at the back of the hut trimming the hoofs of Talia, his horse.He allowed the distraction and looked up from the last hoof to his mother's face, poking out independently out of the window as though it had no neck supporting it."Depends on your definition of sense mother."He looked back at the hoof too quickly, hitting the handle of the narrow blade which looked like a modern chisel. Only that twas rustier and hardly plain. But it did cut through the hoof, sliding off the hard keratin.After that push, he took a pause and said to his mother again,"If getting married to that wench is what you call sense, I'd rather be senseless."His mother scoffed,"You call the princess of the land a wench?

The Arena. "Now that the King has been crowned and the Queens have been celebrated, it's now time to have the games. But first, we'd be starting with blood and gores... let all the women take caution now. If you cannot contain the emotions, you won't be held against your will to remain seated. But if surely you have nothing to fear, I shall then call in the gladiator!!!"Hannibal took a pause, looking away from the crowd who occupied the arena to every corner of its length. He looked at his back, at Kie who was elegantly dressed as a king, the gold crown sitting majestically upon his head. Beside him to the right was Malisa and to the left was Sam. The parents were behind them; that particular elevated spot of the arena had been consecrated for the royalty and family. Kie nodded him to continue and he did. "By the order of the great king of Agranah, Kie Azholophased, I thereby introduce to you the great terror of the men of the East, a bea

Through the woods of Agranah. "What if Malisa figures out that the both of us disappear a day before the coronation? Don't you think she'll have a lot of reasons to be jumpy?"Kie took a glance at Samantha whose horse was going gently beside his. She smiled at him,"Are you saying that she would think that we absconded again?"He nodded looking away,"Definitely. It's quite the thing to think about. And to think of it, we found our way back to each other after that sex. Now I know what I want and who I truly love.""And who's that?"She teased, intentionally avoiding his gaze. He chuckled and made his horse stop. He climbed off it and walked to hers which had stopped too. He got to her and turned her on the horse. He turned her to face himself then buried his face in her stomach. "Of course you, Samantha. You are the one I love genuinely."He looked up at her, his face soft and reflectiv

Master and disciple. Oops, sorry, mistress!
On a boat. A lagoon. "So I convinced her. She surely believed me."Shamaica said to Amani who was standing very close to the edge of the boat on the other end. Naturally, the boat should tilt and fall over but 'twas mysteriously stable on the water. You could call that magic. "Why do you make it sound like you have done something evil. All you did was tell the witch the truth. If I was a third party, I would think that you have an ulterior motive."Amani turned to her and the boat shook. Shamaica was seated at the extreme end, on a plank connected to both ends of the boat; six other planks like that made rows of seven seats. "Sorry, master. That wasn't the intention."Shamaica apologized. Amani huffed, then started walking back to her, jumping from one seat to the other till she got to the middle. "Why do you call master? It's reasonable to think that you chose to become my disciple in order to cultivate your p

Night. The King's chamber. Agranah. "I don't think this is the right thing to do."Kie was reluctant to walk to the bed. His back was pressed to the door. His eyes traveling across the room. The room was lit in red candles, the floor clothed in beautiful flowers. Kie needed no soothsayer to tell him those were the efforts of Malisa. And Malisa was already in bed, half-naked, her white night gown was transparent and revealed every sensitive part of her body; especially her hard and standing nipples. "What do you think, Sam?"Kie decided to look away from Mal. That was the only way to counter the arousal he was having. Sam on the other hand was still wearing her gown. Though her cleavages were revealed, but her dresses were at the peak of modesty. "I don't know. I'm not sure I can stand it."She walked away from the bed, beside which she had been standing, heading towards the door. Malisa slid

The Palace Garden. Agranah. "Why do I feel like we have to uproot all these flowers and replant new ones. The blood and sweat of the warriors seem to ridicule their efforts to grow."He walked around the garden, careful of the traps he'd once heard Wealene talk about. "But for a fact, one must agree that Wealene is quite the genius. How could he had thought of creating such deadly shortcuts and traps. He must have a lot of things going on in that thick head of his.""I bet you can't say that it to his face."A feminine voice came from behind him. He was familiar with the voice, and therefore found no reason to turn to her. "After all, he's the father of a woman you love."She added, advancing towards him. "Go away, I don't want to talk to you."She halted few steps away from him. He kept on walking towards the pit. She followed. As soon as he got to the pit, he stopped then looked into it. 'Twas

Within the Palace walls. The dining hall. "Now let's talk about the king's coronation feast."Elonaise proposed over breakfast. Everyone of them was gathered at the table. Only Hannibal was missing: he hadn't arrived from the island yet. "Can't it wait until we finish dining?"Wealene had made an exception. He seemed to be in a better state now. For all that there was, he was seated and had his usual expression stalking his face. "There's no kid here. Why should we do that? Or do you fear to choke on the meat?"Elonaise trolled. Wealene glared at him for a while. Mara looked from one end to the other. Kie was seated between his wives. Mara between the two men, each set opposite each other over the table. "Kie, when do you want the feast to be?"Kie who had been enjoying his meal, paused for a while, then looked up at his mother. He could feel the eyes of the rest heating up his face.

Through the neighborhood of Agranah. "Where are you taking me to?"Kie was impatient now, and he wouldn't move anymore. He had been keeping his calm all this while but now that they were past the arena and were walking through the plain towards the East, he'd decided to stop his horse. Samantha who was leading ahead of him didn't stop. She wasn't going to give in to his threat. She was now a different person. Ever since Kie placed her as a second choice. Twas quite a wonder that he decided to come with her after she told him that there was someone who wanted to speak with him. "You think I'm joking? I'm turning around now!"He pushed the threat further and then she stopped. She turned on her horse and called at him,"Don't be a sucker and catch up. We are almost there. What a bore you are!!!"She grunted and nudged her horse, turning away from him. "A bore?"He called on top of his vo

Towards the plains of Kattiput. "What kinda life is this?"Alanor panted, taking a break. He could see the plains of his land few steps ahead of him. He was on an unnamed spot between the woods behind and plains ahead.He resumed walking, his clothes dusty and dirty. His hair unkempt, face rough, lips cracked, shoes worn from the tiring journey. His heart was faint, but dropping dead or refusing to walk would do him nothing close to good. "Why are there no wandering warriors on patrol?"He remonstrated, advancing towards the plains. A realization dawned on him,"Even if many died in the war, but I left few back at home. Aren't they supposed to be worried about me?"He was now walking through the plains. "And there is no horse. What fate is this. Why do I fall into wrong hands over and over again."The view up ahead of him was blurry because of the hotness of the sun. He could hardly take a long s

Agranah. Wealene's Chamber. "How do you feel now, father?"Malisa helped her father up. She handed him the goblet filled with concoction. He took a long gulp of it, not allowing the bitter taste to ruin his motivation. "Like shit. But it's a relief that I won't die. Let that choad just wait till I recover, he would wish he didn't know me."He tried to lie back down, after handing the cup back to his daughter. She looked inside the cup,"There's still some portion left. It'll work together.""Malisa?"Wealene called, after getting comfortable. "Yes father?"His face housed a thin smile,"How about you be a good daughter and take the remaining portion for me."She rolled her eyes at him,"Why would I ? Was I the one who was bitten by the dick of a God?"She tried to laugh stealthily but he caught her. "So, now you're against your only father?"
