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

Reality exists as nothing more than a broken illusion. The surface shattered by fates cruel hand, now it is a nightmare to endure. At least.so it seems. Nothing remains of the old life except bittersweet memories, which in turn cause heartache. Words cannot express how painful it is, to be living at the hands of such...barbaric people. Yethope and rebellion still burns bright within the hearts of many. Pain, torture, humiliationthese only add fuel to the fire. Even the death of thousands, their crimson blood dripping off swords, knives and the like, didnt stamp it out. Freedom may be only a dream for nowbut soonit will become a reality. It will replace the nightmare life has changed into, and the Arunafeltz Kingdom will regret ever messing with the Ylisse Continent. Harsh, ridiculing eyes watched in amusement as the warrior stirred from her restless slumber. For days she has endured cruel torture at the hands of those holding her captive. In spite of this, that fiery, unrelenting spirit never did waver, not even once. Instead it kept ablaze with a certain edge of defiance mixed in. Yes, there were moments where she wanted to give up to simply resign, and cast aside whatever hope she hadbut she never could. So many people are still clinging on to hope. How can she give upwhen her Empress needs her most? A soft, almost inaudible, groan found the womans lips. Though bloody and pale, Tian Zi was still magnificent to behold in regards to beauty. Men may both admire and envy her spirit, but lust did stir once their eyes grasp her lovely curves, the full shape of her mouth, not to mention the miles of long leg. Her hair was a river of dark molten caramel flowing down over her shoulders to mid-back. Drops of filthy water cling to several strands, which soon trickle along whatever contours could be reached. Time crept past, one minute turning into two minutes, impatience rising with every second hidden within. Soon enough, another bucket of water was thrown. Hey! Mocha brown eyes luminous, penetrating, and framed by long dark lashes- peeked open, anguish flashing through the orbs for a millisecond. It wasnt long before she reins in that unpleasant emotion, since she didnt want to give these barbarians the satisfaction. Hatred began to boil within her belly at the eyes, the smirks and the suppressed laughter. What? Tian Zi demanded in a growl, hands tugging uselessly against her hands restraints. A few soldiers wince at the word, yet others chuckle in amusement. Of course it only brought her anger to new heights. Teeth grinding, she offered several withering looks to the nearest men. Lui Xia Sun couldnt help but watch the scene unfold with a look of indifference. If she wore any other expression upon her face, suspicion would arise. That cant happen. Everyone here Lord Perrins included- believe that she is broken, unable to resist anything that occurs to those around her. Dark green eyes narrow slightly at the thought. No, she hasnt given up hope. Despite being a pleasure slave, humiliated and violated constantly on a daily basis, plans still were forming within the safety of her mind. True, it will be difficult to bring any into fruition, given the circumstances...it is worth the wait however. Why? Plans of such importance shouldnt be rushed A kingdom is at stake, as is its future. There is no need to rush things now And so only a watchful eye is required during this critical time. Lui Xia Sun swallowed down the growing lump rising up in her throat. It hurt, watching her loyal friend, warrior, companionbe tortured in such a manner, with no way of assistance in sight. Skin prickling with both anger and disgust, still wet from Lord Perrins seed, she closed her green eyes tightly. Im sorry, Tian Zi Her hands curling into fists, the woman did everything possible to force those emotions into a state of dormancy. For a moment her brown locks which were a rich black before all this began- hid her eyes from view. In a way, emotion was poison. It tends to surge through the blood, its very presence touching upon everything within range, and affecting it. Lui Xia Sun knew she had to keep herself under controlbut it was times like this where it felt nearly impossible. After a number of deep breaths, she opened her eyes once again. Though her silk clothes are gone, and her pride in jeopardy, there was no doubt that the young woman is still royalty. It was in the way she held herself, chin high and expression cool. Confidence can be seen within the lines of her mouth.
