Thread: Within A Curse ( High Fantasy / BDSM )  (Pazzo x Ironic)

Arch marveled at how quick she was... She was powerful, beautiful, and smelled quite good... Almost intoxicating... But she was a demon... And she wanted to make him scream... For some sick, freakish reason he couldn't explain, he was tempted to just allow her into his mind... Arch was weary of the constant fighting, never having a moments rest from his nightmares... She did keep asking, and did not force her way in... The way she gripped his shoulders tightly, the way she pressed her gorgeous body into his against the wall... Fate could be so cruel... Arch had thought he had served the Goddess of fate well... And this was his reward? But to have them accuse him of a crime, and then sentence him to a horrible torture... He just couldn't understand it... Arch could fight her, maybe even kill her... But would that solve anything? The fates are immortal, and their memory long... They would just send someone else, someone stronger... It would never end, and likely just make the sentence worse... Fate would have its way... Arch could just pay the debt... There was no torture more horrible than what he had already endured... So long as he at least knew why he had been marked... The wizard pursed his lips. Surely fate had a good reason for this... No matter what she did to him 300,000 screams was nothing compared to what Drhalatoth had already done to him.... He could always heal... Arch pursed his lips, and lowered the Azure scepter, Fine... He muttered, weary... In exchange for my answers, you will have.... He choked for a moment... But there was no way out. Sometimes it was just better to pay what you owe... ... You will have your 300,000 screams. Let it never be said that Arch does not pay his debts... His voice faltered... He felt betrayed, his faith wavering... Why would she do this to him? What could he have possibly done that was so horrible? Arch just shook his head, and swore... If he survived this, he was done with the betrayer goddess forever... He took the Demons clawed fingers, and touched them to his temples... He then placed his hands on her head in the same manner... His eyes locked with hers... He could feel the pleasant heat from her face on his palms... Oh how Arch hated to surrender like this... But if fate demanded a debt be paid, then he would pay it... Arch relaxed his mind, and reached out with his thoughts... Utterly terrified... The last time he locked minds with a demon it was as if liquid fire was pored into his thoughts and allowed to linger for what seemed like an eternity... A full year of terribly constant agony... Damn you fates... he whispered, I don't understand, I have given you everything, I have done nothing to you, but yet you demand more... Take your cursed screams and be damned... His thoughts found hers, but they were not like Drhal's at all... They were feathery, caressing, and gentle... Likely a trap, but he had to know what was going on... He opened his mind to her, and allowed her access to everything... Every thought, every shame, every secret... Nothing was hidden to her.... twenty years of memories... Arch being found in the ruins by the Thunderforge Brothers and working for them... His discovery of his magic... His time at the Geurnsfield Academy... His utterly horribly torture at the hands of Drahlototh... And the subsequent crushing of the Demons mind through sheer force of will and rage... Finding the Azure rod in Drhalototh's palace... The fabled Red war and the terrible things that happened as a result... Many countless battles with his golem at his side... Their defense of the Northern pass, while the armies were occupied to the west... The eventual end of the war, with the Marrying of the Princess of the North and the Prince of the South... Arch himself performed the ceremony... His 300 acre estate and building the huge floating garden with Max... The many cats he had adopted and cared for... The short meeting with the Goddess whom he thought he was in good standing with... The horribly night when his chest caught fire, with the branding applied... The moonlit night where he defended himself against her agents... And his decision to confront Mirajane Directly... Nothing.... There was nothing there that could possibly constitute such a punishment... No answers... Just more questions... Damn it.... He swore... Only when he was violated the first time had he felt so vulnerable... He just wanted to go home and live out the rest of his life in peace, alone, and away from everything... And Fate stepped in and denied him this, the only thing he wanted... To be left the fuck alone...
