Thread: The Faint Glimmer of hope (Frogger X QB)

The Continent of Ylisse has settled into peaceful times. The call to war and the gathering of legions no longer sound out in the distance. Aside from a few issues with bandits and rebels, peace was present in all the land. That was, until the recent developments with the southern principality of Long'Sha. Known throughout ancient times as the exotic gateway to the South, with it's prosperous port towns and it's unique culture Long'Sha prospered greatly. Though preferring to keep to itself, many beautiful tales of princely cities and flowering trees attract the fantasies of many, as the country slowly opened up to the Northern states. But then, all that changed when the Kingdom of Arunafeltz, after the Mandate The Ruling government under the Empress was unable to find the killer of a statesman who visited there declared war upon the nation, calling forth for the Empress to abdicate her rule and to surrender. A bloody yet quick battle ensued as the caste warriors of Long'Sha were unable to stand before the merciless war machine of Arunafeltz, who brought not only arms, but also magic from the Far North, a sight so alien to the people that flag of Juno fluttered high within the Heavenly Terrace. Without an Empress, the country of Long'sha fell to the clutches of Arunafeltz. All that changed, however, when the Empress-in-Exile, Liu Xia Sun, known to the outside as Satsuki, called for others to stand up to tyranny and to overthrow their conquerors. All that changed when she was betrayed by a close comrade, forsaking his kingdom in exchange for gold and a position of high honor. Captured, the Princess was made into a mockery of her former self, forced to march stripped and naked within the capital, handed from guest to guest as a pleasure toy. Without a leader, the people of Long'Sha lost the will to fight on, as the elements of the resistance crumbled one after the other. The Viceroy of Long'Sha, Lord Perrins turns a blind eye to the abuse that his garrison seemingly commit in the open. Instead, he lounges about in his throne, anxiously awaiting the guests to come. When he had risen, he had the 'slave empress' pleasure him, the humiliation of having to clean off his seed on her body before she was cleansed in rose water paled in comparison to the abuse she suffered up until now. There she was, kneeling to the right of his throne, demurely kneeling on her haunches. Her dress was most elegant, clothed in fine silks from Chosin, yet she wore no dainty undergarments underneath for easy accessibility of her tight yet delicate flesh. He was awaiting the representatives of Pakultos and of Cherus. Of note, he was expecting much from the representative of the latter, given how their queen Ishlene had actually supported the Slave Empress' desires to win back her homeland. He had quite some tribute to expect...for sure! Meanwhile, he had ordered the Torturer that he wanted the feisty woman to be displayed. She went by the name Tian Zi, a capable Warrioress who almost cut him down had it not been for General Numida taking the blow for him. For days she had refused to speak, even as she endured cruel torture . Despite that, he gave the order not for her to be bruised for he did crave the porcelain smooth skin and those defiant brown eyes... Wake up, you slut! cried one man, as he splashed a bucket of filthy river water upon her face. She probably couldn't even understand them straddling a metallic sawhorse, after her confinement in the iron maiden she was put forth onto the cruel torture device , enduring it throughout the night. To break her spirit, she watched as her beloved Empress was raped before her very eyes, before her very tormentors forced themselves upon her. Now, she straddled the horse, toes pointing down with the ropes pulling upon her ankles, weights beneath forcing more of her weight against the metallic edge. It was a miracle she was not dead at this point. She had some stamina that was the envy of many soldiers. Bound with her arms tied to the small of her back, in the hammerlock position she was gagged with a metal bar fitted between her teeth, drooling softly against her pierced yet seemingly perky nipples. Bells affixed to the piercing ring, it provided quite some amusement to the Viceroy. Splashing her another bucket of water, they watched as the Warrioress roused herself into wakefulness...and into the pain she had been enduring all throughout the night.
