Chapter 1
- GUTHRAM CLAN OF ZARRAM COMMUNITY
- ~~~~~~~~
- "Who among you opened the dungeon" Master Damien yelled vigorously pacing back and forth while glaring daggers at the people in the room.
- "How dare they leave here" he yelled and rose and moved towards an elder dragging him and placing a blazing sword on his neck. "Speak" he thundered choking him.
- The man shivered; cold sweat ran down his body and he shouted almost choked.
- "I didn't do it my Lord; I swear I didn't do it; it was Enoch who opened it, I saw him at the entrance of the portal he shivered and Damien threw him off and marched towards Enoch who was already shivering.
- "I'm sorry.....He drew out a sword and chopped off his head not letting him complete the word.
- His body dropped to the floor and his head rolled. "Take this mess away from here and get me his wife" He ordered and went back to his seat.
- "Send out guards after those fools who thought they could escape from me and bring them here alive" he gave out an order and left the council room.
- The guards rushed out of the room and set out in search of the prisoners.
- "Where are you taking me to" A woman's voice was heard wailing and tears were streaming down her eyes.
- "Let me go, you cannot come to my house and pick me up without telling me what wrong I did and why you are arresting me" the woman yelled out.
- "Master Damien ordered your arrest so I would advise you to keep mute else your head would roll like your husband's" A guard replied and the woman instantly shut her mouth.
- Her head would roll like her husband's? Does that mean her husband has been killed by Master Damien?" She thought as they continued dragging her to the castle.
- Not wanting to be reminded who Master Damien was and what he was capable of doing, She'd better shut her mouth if she wants to live.
- She sobbed inside mourning her dear husband who fell into the wrath of the devil himself; she wondered what he did to deserve the death penalty.
- But Master Damien is not one who listened to pleads. Once you got into his wrath book, he would slay you without a second thought.
- The guards dragged the woman to the hall and tied her to a poll. She wept lowly knowing she would be the one to face her husband's punishment as Master Damien never punished his offenders.
- He slew them and their family become his slaves and serve him. If you are lucky enough to attract him, you would be turned into his sex slave.
- But in her case, she already knew he does not sleep with married women so her punishment would be to work in the farmlands day and night with little food.
- If you were lucky enough, you would survive but if you were not, you die and your dead body would be thrown into the blood river.
- Master Damien stepped into the room and glanced at the woman who was tied to a poll, Such a disgrace that her stupid husband went against his words.
- His stupidity landed his wife in his mess; badly enough, he would never grant a second chance as he believed that once a traitor would always remain a traitor.
- "Strip her" his cold voice thundered and a guard walked up to her yanking off her dress.
- The woman shivered as hot tears trickled down her cheeks. What has her husband done to upset the master" she thought?
- "Your husband dared go against my order and freed my captives" he roared and she shivered almost peeing on herself.
- "Torture her and send her to the farmland" he gave out an order and walked out of the hall.
- The woman screamed begging for mercy but Mercy was the last word to be found in Master Damien's book.
- "A guard walked forward with a long strip. He stroked her bare skin and her pierced scream was heard across the hallway.
- She screamed in horror as the strip landed on her back. Pain seeps through her tearing her back apart.
- He continued landing heavy strokes of Cain until she lost consciousness.
- They poured water on her, woke her up, and continued torturing her. Her screams of agony filled the room.
- After giving her heavy 30 strokes, they untied her and she slumped on the floor.
- They bundled her towards the farmland and pushed her on the floor.
- "Would you want us to hit you more or would you rise from there" they had asked her and Swifty rose her body too heavy for her to carry.
- She was given a rake and was asked to clear the horse's defecates.
- Master Damien returned to his chambers, anger still seeping through him.
- How dare he think of setting his captives free and think he would spare him should he find out.
- Those people came into his castle to steal from him and he had locked them up only for the stupid man to go set them free.
- He got what he deserved and his wife would continue serving punishments till she dies. That is the punishment for his sins.
- Master Damien picked up his pipe and filled a cup up with wine. Gulping down a large quantity of the wine, he went out to his terrace.
- "My Lord a man is here to see you," Robin said bowing as he came into the chamber.
- "Who is he?" Master Damien asked not sparing him a glance.
- "He said he's from the Gida clan and had come for a business" Robin replied and Master Damien turned around to face him.
- "What business does he want here? Master Damien asked staring intently at Robin.
- "I have no idea my Lord but he said he preferred to see you himself to discuss it" Robin replied with a bow and Master Damien kept mute.
- Taking one last gulp from his cup, he dropped the empty cup on the table and walked out of the room with Robin following behind him.
