Gladiators (not open for all, sorry)

[Ravenloft]

King Elsworth:

Lifting his eyes from the burn on his hand to Kita's face, Elsworth sneered. His hand shot out and ripped the leather strap from her neck, leaving a stinging welt along the back of her neck. He balled the necklace in his hand and stuffed it in his Gipser. After her little toy was secured therein he drew the back of his hand across her face and her head snapped to the left from the sharp blow. The force of it made her hair shift, revealing the tapered point of an elvish ear.

He lifted his hand to show where he had been burned. "Short lived victory, wench! you're still chained and at my mercy... And your... Brother is it? He is to be hunted..." Tilting his head to the side, Elsworth drew a guard to his side. "Have the city searched for all male youths of elven stock... Have all that are found brought here."

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kita

"NOOOOO!!!, No you can't, he's little more than a boy, let him be, he commit no crime. If it is me you want, then have me, but if you touch a hair on my brothers head, i'm make you curse the day your mother spat you from her womb."

The look in her eyes told him she meant every word of it.

 

[Ravenloft]

King Elsworth:

"Whether the boy is harmed is up to him... And you... I am a merciful king... To those that server me loyally." Nodding to the guard that still stood for final instructions, Elsworth said softly. "Go... Now..." He promptly turned to do as instructed.

Only seeming to take notice Kita's exposed breasts after the guard had left, Elsworth leaned foreward and traced light fingers along the undercurves of them in admiration for their youthful firmness.

 

[Orlanth]

Valin

"I sense an evil presence was procession of the fragment. I must save me sister!" Valin gets on his horse as... "There he is! Get him!"

Looking to his right he sees the Kings guards running after him. "Oh shit!" Yells Valin as he gets off his horse and runs for a building. He reaches the build, and ducks under a table. The guards stop out side of the building. "He is in here somewhere, find him now, or I shall have your heads!" "Yes sir!"

"Damn it, Kita what have you done?" Wonders the young Valin as he try's to find a way out of the building.

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kita

her body shivered as his fingers touched her flesh. He was surprisingly gentle, perhaps it would not be so bad... shaking her head, she shook it hard, trying to shake away any thaughts she was entertaining. She could give herself willingly, but there was no garentee that he would not harm valin. Staying perfectly still, she gave him no cause to hurt her, but no cause to be interested in her either.

 

[Ravenloft]

King Elsworth:

"Your loyalty... Could very well save your brother's life..." Elsworth said suggestively as his thumb traveled up along the circle of Kita's breast, across her nipple, drifting slowly away, only to cross back. Retracing the path he had marked her skin to tingling life with, he stepped closer to her.

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kita

Kita's breath became a little heavy, trying to ignore his touch, his eyes. Lifting her chin, he moved his lips close to hers, she could feel the heat of his breath on her face, smell the wine on his breath, and she told herself she was repulsed. She had no desire to be arroused by this demon of a man. As his lips brushed again her, she pulled her head away, the closeness of his body becoming more than she could deny.

 

[Ravenloft]

King Elsworth:

"You could save yourself from death... And your brother... Bed with me..." Elsworth said, at first his voice seemed a little husky, but he quickly exherted control over it and it became level again.

 

[Orlanth]

Valin

The young elf jumps out of under the table snicking to the door. He sees two guards on either side of the door on the out side. Thinking to him self. "Damn it, it is going to be hard to get out of this."

"Find that young elf boy, the king wants the boy. Find him now! Do not let a person leave or entire this building. If we do not find this boy there will be hell to pay. NOW FIND HIM!" Yells the general to his man, Valin ducks out of sight as 2 guards walk in the door.

"Damn it, I need away out." Looking up he sees a open window. He moves up the stairs slow and genital. 'Crack!'

"There he is!" Yells a guard as he looks at the boy on the stairs. Valin runs for his life and is grabbed by a guard. "Easy elf, easy. No harm will come to you if you do as we say."

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kita

her breath was turning to more of a pant as her body betteyed her, his touch and closeness arousing her unwilingly. She was tempted, so tempted, but she knew he could not be trusted to keep a bargain.

"Never." her words were cold and flat, her pride taking hold.

 

[Ravenloft]

King Elsworth:

Pulling away from her as he heard one of his guards tromping down the dungeon stairs with a cussing lad tossed over his shoulder. Shifting his eyes toward the sceen, Elsworth called out to the guard. "Bring the whelp here..." He was promptly brought and dropped to his knees, held there by the guard before his king. Elsworth grabbed ahold of the boys pendant and withdrew the fragment from his pocket. It fit securly into the chip that was taken out of the parent pendant. "Care to say good bye to your brother, Wench?" Elsworth said coldly as he locked eyes with the boy.

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kita

At the sight of her brother being dragged in, Kita was furious, lashing out at the King.

"I could have fucked you from here to hell and you would still have gone after him. You're nothing but a lying piece of filth, and i swear you will come to an end that fits your black heart. Your so fucking brave you have to keep a woman in chains while you torment her family. Your a real fucking hero." She was clutching at straws and she knew it.

 

[Orlanth]

Valin

"You tuch my sister and I will you, you pig. You are unworthy to be the king!" Says the young elf, looking up with fear in his eyes, he spits in the kings face. The gaurd hits the boy across the face. "Respect the king you slam ball!" Yalls the gaurd.

[Ravenloft]

King Elsworth:

"Take him to the arena..." Elsworth said dryly as he wiped Valin's spit from his cheek. Turning away from the ranting Kita, he caught hold of yet another guard as Valin was dragged toward the arena doors. "I want the wench taken to my veiwing box... Drug her, sedate her, whatever you must to get her there post haste. But I want her to be fully awake for when the battle's begin. Understood?" Elsworth spoke with comand. "Aye my king..." The guard agreed, promptly calling for the apothicary. Elsworth stepped back, but oversaw the administration of Kita's sedation. She screamed and pulled away from the first few attempts before three guards had to hold her still. The drug was given to her and soon her muscles grew lax and she became as pliable as a rag doll. Nodding for the guards to unshackle her and take her to his royal box, Elsworth turned away, he himself walking with purpose, making his way to the seats before their arival.

[Orlanth]

Valin

As he is being dragged away. "I die in honor, you sick bastard. If you were half the man you think you are, you would fight me." As he is dragged off to the arena. Heading up the stairs, the young elf trying to brake free of the gaurds hold. Down the hall way leading up to the gate which leads out to the arena. "Open the gate, the king has a special act this afternoon." Commands the gaurd as the gate opens.

The young boy is dragged out to the center of the arena, and let go as the gaurds go bake through the gate, it shuts. Valin looks around and looking at the thousends of facews staying at him. The young elf was scared to death.

[Ravenloft]

Two guards:

Two of the guards came up to Brakus. "Time to go to the arena..." One stated to him as they reached down to hoist him to his feet. They undid his shackles and started walking him to one of the entrance ramps leading into the arena.

 

[Renegade]

Brakus

Another battle was finally upon those choosen for the Gladiator pit. After all that was going on with the others, it was at last time for the real 'fun' to begin. The two guards led me over towards one of the entrance ramps. It was from here that I would be among the rest as they enter the arena. Having been here for well over a month now, I was past the fear of being killed out there. It was almost like another part of one persons schedule.

"You two going to be cheering for me out there?" I asked with an obviously sarcastic tone to my voice. One guard delivered a quick punch to the gut while the other said something I didn't catch.

Had nothing to loose, and everything to gain with this life of mine. That was something that gave me hope in an odd and twisted way. After putting me in place for the games of the evening, I try to cover my eyes slightly from the glare of the sunlight. A grin spread over my lips from the fact that this could be the last time I saw the sun. I had an odd sense of humor at times.

 

[Orlanth]

Valin

The young elf only had one weapon, and was sure this would be his last day. Looking up, the sun was shining and hardly any clouds were in sight. The gate started to open, and out come two gaurds, draging some man. Valin was very scared, the poior boy had to fight, not only has he never fought, he has never had a sord in his hands before. Valin did not know how to hold it let alone know how to use it. Only if he still had his amulet, he could use it to help him exscape to mess.

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kita

Placed in a chair in te king's veiwing box, drugged and helpless, Kita had little choice but to watch her brother in the arena. The king came to sit down beside her, close enough that his leg pressed against hers, his hand slipping inside her shirt and roughly squeezing her breast. Kita was quicky recovering from the affects of the drugs, but continued to act as though she were still heavily sedated. The king was so intent on his game he didnt feel her slip into his pocket and retrieve the amulet.
Now if only valin would come close enough for her to get it to him, he could get himself out of here and work out another way of rescuing her. He moved a little closer, backing awau from the other gladiator, just a little closer.

"VALIN CATCH!!!!" Tossing the amulet as hard as she could, it landed at Valin's feet. She sighed with reliefe as he bent and picked it up.

 

[Orlanth]

Valin

Droping the sord and picking up the amulet. Placing it around his neck, he looks up to see a gladiator running at him with his sord in the air. Valin runs away from the gladiator, he grabs hold of the amulet, saying. "Give me the power I need to get out of here." Young Valin runs over to a gate looking back to see the gladiator getting closer. Valin bends the gates bars just enough for him to fit through. He sees to guards running at him from down the hall. Valin looks around to find an exscape, and finds a open door. He goes through the door into a hall way, he runs down, he can hear the two gaurds getting closer. "I must find a way out." He runs to a near by door. He opens the door and looks into the room. Empty, except, one open window which Valin can see trees and the other side.
He runs in the room, jumps up to the window, and gets out just as the gaurd enters the room.

Valin looks around to see where he is, he is in the forest. He runs deep into the forest. Tired from running he stops, and knows the gaurds will be searching for him. Valin clams up the tree in front of him. When he is at a good highet and out of sight he stops and rests. "How well I get Kita out of there?"

 

[Ravenloft]

King Elsworth:

Back handing Kita sharply, sending her out of her seat, falling to the floor. "Stupid Wench!" He spat as he hopped to his feet, catching her by a hand full of hair. He yanked her to her feet, making her cry out in pain. Whipping her about in his grasp, he forced the small of her back to the railing of his veiwing box. "For that you will die!" He hissed passionately, his face contorted horridly. He was pushing her back against the railing harder and harder with each passing second, his hands had somehow found her exposed throat. Suddenly his expression softened as he realized he was strangling the life from her. Somewhere deep inside of his mind, he recoiled from his actions. Something about killing her in this intimate a manner frightened him... Instead, he suddenly pushed her with a violent force and she fell over the lip of the king's booth. It was only a split second before she struck the ground below, but it was far enough of a fall that when she struck, her arm broke. She lay, crumpled atop the splintered arm as the pain of it slowly seeped into her mind, screaming at her.

Elsworth stepped forward to look down, only to find her stirring. He snuffed his nose in mild disbelief that she still lived. Turning a sharp gaze to one of the arena overseer's, he nodded. "Release the tigers!" So it was commanded, so it was done. The man struck a drum sharply, and it echoed through the arena, alerting the tiger handlers to open their pens. Only a minute later and five tiger's stalked out from their kennel's

Two guards:

"Your turn t'meet yer death." A guard growled at Garret, hoisting him up to his feet as the other unshackled him. They began to walk him toward the arena entrance.

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kita

The pain from Kita's shattered arm threatened to over whelm her mind, but she held fast, pulling her sash away from her waist and using it for a make shift sling. She now found herself in the pit with two other gladiators, and five rather hungry looking tigers. The smell of her bodd would attract them quicly and she looked to where valins sword lay on the ground. Looking at the fast aproaching tigers, she kneeled before them. To the king it must have looked as though she were about to make a sacrifice of herself, but what she did next surprised him greatly. She bagan to sing, a soft haunting melody in a language he'd never heard, and the tigers camled, stopping before her, laying on the ground like over grown kittens. Her tune changed a little, became for forcefull and the tigers got to their feet.

Kita shouted a single word, "malbedee" *kill* and the tigers rushed the barriers, leaping and clearing the lower fences that held back the less wealthy spectators, their hungry teeth ripping into an abundance of human flesh, and Kita rose to face the king, this time with Valins blade in her good hand. Screams of death fill the arena, and Kita was almost happy to hear them. There was one death scream she longed to hear though, and he stood there in his fancy box, his mouth agape, staring down at her. The other two gladiators came to her side, nodding their respect for what she had just done. Under her breath she said to them,

"Never underestimate a woman."

 

[Ravenloft]

The Elsworths:

Both king and Prince watched this powerful Elven woman as she sent several fools to their deaths. "She is no better than me..." Thought the king and his son. They were much the same at heart, the king though, he had wisdom to temper his arrogance. His son did not. There were many a concubine that had to be... Silenced for Florin's son's lustful covetousness... Valdimer was driven wholly by ambition and greed. In only a few things, did he and his father see eye to eye on... Strong women to be conquered being one... Guards were on the tigers in an instant, slaughtering them. The three gladiator's stood, obviously bonding together as one force. Florin scowled. They dared to defy him... "Guard! My sword!" Florin Elsworth shouted. The guard looked at his king as though he were nuts. "My sword!" He repeated with a sharpness to his tone. The guard accused to his duty and laid the kings sword into his palm. Florin clasped the handle tightly and stepped forward, to the booth's edge. He stepped up onto the railing, moving to dangle down into the arena, then let himself drop. He landed on his feet, easing into the force of the landing, only to rise in a commanding posture. "Dare to defy your king?! You will all be impaled upon my blade!!!" Florin taunted as the sun glinted along the length of his steel as he slashed it through the air.

 

[Orlanth]

Valin

The young elf was still high in the tree, out of any ones sight. He looked at the amulet to see that his sister's fragment was still in place withe amulet. "Damn it, only if Kita still had her piece, I could talk to her and see if she was ok." Valin grabed the amulet in hand, and thought. "Let me see my sister. For I need to know if she is ok." Wind was blowing strong, smoke appeared and formed a vision, one like before. In the vision, Valin could see his sister, with what looked like a broken arm. In the back ground was a tiger, eating a guard. Valin was confused at the site, but kept watching.

 

[Renegade]

Brakus

This was definatly a surprising change for the better. A chance for freedom had presented itself for the taking. And it came in the form of a woman who obviously had more to her then meets the eye. From the moment I first saw her, I knew there was more tot his woman. But this was more then even I could have guessed. Very impressive.

The other gladiator that was going to face me in the pit joined our side. A brief smirk showed over my face at the womans comment while the guards made due with the Tigers. The King made his opening threats while drawing his blade. It was obvious he had battle on his mind. Perfect. This was just the chance we needed to gain our freedom.

Pulling my own blade that was my weapon of choice for todays battle, I shouted back, "If you so wish to face us in battle, then I for one invite such a challenge! A battle for our freedom as fate would have it!"

The king glared down at all three of us, hatred for our defiance burning in his eyes. Drawing a line on the sand before us with the blade, I look back up at the king with a slight grin on my face. He knew then that I was clearly mocking his authority over his kingdom.
