It takes Two -Closed to PrudeinOC-

[PrudeinOC]

Kara pocketed the trinket she found on the orc and shouldered the length of rope she had found. She was nearly finished looting the house when she heard the voice overhead. She looked out the window and saw the shimmer coming straight for her. She didn't have many options, she barely had time to glance out the window at the scene outside when she came to the window at the far side of the small house from where she had come in. She threw a chair through the window and wrapped a blanket from the bed about her head and shoulders like a cloak as she tumbled a half second behind the chair. She could see the next house over.

 

[amon_darknight]

The house errupted in fire, a huge ball of fire exploded, sending the waves of force through the air. Myxoplyx saw that she was fine and grinned, being amused that she was quick on her feet. She had potential.

In the other house was a storehouse of more weapons, mainly ranged weapons, bows, quivers of arrows, crossbows, both heavy and light, bushels of bolts, flasks of alchemist fire, more rope, grappling hooks. The door busted in and two goblins came in, short spear and the other had a crude looking hook weapon. They rushed in at her, left and right, the one on the left went high, thrusting his spear right at her throat and the other went for her legs, using the crude weapon to not only cut her calves, but to bring her to the ground. The hook weapon was almost as long as a short scythe. On the outside was a.orc with a net and trident, waiting for her to make a move. The window was closed, ahe only had one way to go and that was through the door. Ahe had no idea the orc was out there to the side. The house was still on fire, heat pulsing and threatning to set ablaze the house she was in.

 

[PrudeinOC]

Kara felt the heat of the explosion and the force carried her all the way to the next house over, the windows had been blown in from the force of the neighboring blast so she nimbly took the blanket and put it on the sill doubled over to protect her coming in.

There were two goblins ready for her when she got to the room and they were flanking her, she didn't have time to think of her next move, she didn't have time to draw her weapons for they were already swinging their drawn weapons. Her only chance was to dive between them. She narrowly avoided the goblin swinging low, but got tagged a glancing blow off her left shoulder from the one attacking from above. Her leathers offered meager protection and the shallow gash burned. She still had mobility, but it hurt! She tumbled to the floor some feet past the goblins and took her rose whip out. She had time to lash at the one who had managed to score on her shoulder. Fortunately she was right hand dominant! Her attack was not As effective from the ground as had she been standing, but it went straight for the oncoming goblins face causing him to attempt to shield his face with his hands. The whip latched onto one of his arms causing him to scream out in pain.
Kara tumbled and used the outstretched whip to trip the second goblin who was nearly upon her now.

 

[amon_darknight]

She felt the sting from the blows of the weapon, but they did not puncture, she did not bleed, just felt the pain from the blow. The goblin fell to the ground and the other held its ground from only taking a blow to the arm, he still had the short spear and on he came. The orc still waited on the outside, following orders. The goblin thrusted his spear down with intent to maim.

 

[PrudeinOC]

Kara was able to roll out of the way of the spear, she managed to get far enough away to draw her blades and the goblin qas on her again, thrusting with his spear, she was able to turn it aside with the blade in her left hand and she spun into the goblin slashing with her right, the goblin didn't have time to bring his spear about as she was too close in. The blade bit into his neck, but the injury was not sustained, merely th e pain of it. The goblin crumpled and she picked up his spear and collected her whip. She did a check of the bodies and then edged her way to the door. She heard breathing and so she threw the spear blindly from the cover of the door frame. She heard a grunt and then poked her head out to see if she had struck true.

 

[amon_darknight]

The orc had training from Myxoplyx himself, he faked the sound of injury, to lure her out. He held his net and trident as he waited, than thought, he grinned, his fangs exposed as he droped his trident and made sure it made noise, he than slumped down as he hit the ground making a thud sound. He waited, net in hand for her, Myxoplyx said if anyone could capture her, they would be rewarded. He knew he had this one in the bag.

Myxoplyx shook his head as he saw the ogers wanting part of this. Myxoplyx shook his head no as he watched this. This orcs name was renzu, a well trained soldier.

 

[PrudeinOC]

An Orc was crumpled on the ground it's weapon fallen to the side when Kara poked her head out the door. She didn't see any other enemies laying in wait, and so with swords drawn she stepped quickly out the door, she didn't pause to check if the orc was dead, she was hurrying to get to her objective. She reflexively raised her swords when she caught a glimpse of the net flying her way.

 

[amon_darknight]

This orc was a master of the art, he could throw that net and capture a dragon, that net was magically made for him. If the net made contact not only would it constrict fast, but it would based on the weilder, produce a acid, electrocute or gas the victim. He grinned as the net fell on her, it instantly started to constrict, the orc stood as he picked up his trident, Myxoplyx watched from the window. The orc knew not to hurt her, the orc saw how the gas made her drousey. The last thing she saw was the large orc grasping the net to drag her off. Myxoplyx as the wizard clapped his hands as she was brougnt to the lower levels of the dungeon, she was strapped down and stripped down to her bra and panties. The wizard stood before him and waited for her awaken.

 

[PrudeinOC]

It was no use, the net was already closing about her, she struggled feebly as it constricted her as if it was alive. Her vitality drained as she struggled, she was so weak, she could hardly keep her eyes open and she slumped over. The orc was unharmed, he came to the net and her terror peaked before she lost consciousness completely.

Kara slowly started to come to. She was stripped and strapped down. This wouldn't be good, she'd allowed herself to get caught. They were thorough and had left her nothing. Her options were wriggle or talk or seduce her way out. There was a strange wizard watching her as she woke and struggled. Kara merely looked at him, eyes blazing daggers.

 

[amon_darknight]

Myxoplyx stood over her and grinned, his long gray beard was fuzzy and well trimmed. He looked her body over and smiled. "So, little rat, why are you here, who sent you?" He held his staff and let his hand run up her thigh as he listened to what she had to say. He felt her anger. "If you want to fight, just tell me, but what you saw from that fireball, that was a simple spell, I can do much more." He moved his hand right above her mound and held there. "Are you still pure? I can tell you are not, maybe I can show you a real man."

He smiled sinisterly at her.

 

[PrudeinOC]

Kara struggled fuitilely against her bonds as the skeezy wizard laid hands upon her. "Violate me and you'll live long enough to see your shriveled cock removed from your wrinkled carcass! It's not yours to claim!"

"Just how do you propose to do that when you're bound as my prisoner?"

" I never said I would do the removal " she said with deadly calm.

 

[amon_darknight]

The wizard laughed at her idle threats. "Oh, and who will do the removal than, your protector? The fool who moronicaly let you travel here alone. The one who dares mock the great Killroy!" He raised his staff as lightning crashed outside. The wizard laughed as he rubbed the top area of her pelvic region. "Tell me girl, who do you work for, so I know where to send the remains. Maybe I should let Urthe have at you." The strong Orc grinned, showing off his long tusks, his clear bulge of his cock showing through his loincloth.

The wizard moved his hand up to her large breasts, he circled them with his long fingers. "Or I could always use magic to get the information out of you. But what fun would that be?" He laughed as he started to fondle her large breasts with his one hand. Gentle touches to her breasts.

 

[PrudeinOC]

Kara wondered how long Myxoplyx would let this go on for, the damage may not be real but the pain, and in this case the rape would be all too real. She was terrified but stayed her tongue, when Myxoplyx wanted Killroy to know who he was he would surface. She wad quite terrified of the Orc, he would likely break her in two with that rod pushing at his loincloth. She jerked away from his touch on her breasts as much as she was able considering her bindings.

She tried to wriggle and squeeze the hand furthest away from the wizard and orcs attentions out of her binding. If she could get one hand free she could fight back at least before Myxoplyx had to come and bail her out. She worked it slowly, subtly and methodically so as not to bring attention to it while thrashing at the rest of her bindings more obviously to distract from her maneuvers.

 

[amon_darknight]

Myxoplyx noticed her trying to free herself, he gave her props for trying. But she was not skilled enough to get out, she had no real Escape artist training, no real tools. Myxoplyx removed his hand from her breast as he spun around dramatically and pointed his staff at her. "Fool, do you think a great and powerful wizard would not see through your foolish attempts!" He spoke an arcane word and a electric current shot out of his staff and into Kara, he saw how she went rigid, her hair standing up on end, how she screamed. She would be serious now as he lowered his staff. "This here girl is the prize, it contains what you and many have come to try and take." He showed her the blueish white crystal, electricity swirled around it. "I am a lightning wizard, and this crystal makes me arcane powers much more formidable" he grinned at her "As well as wicked" he shocked her again.

This went on, him shocking her, him asking her the question of what she knew, would she break?

The wizard looked and even leaned down to suckle on her hard nipple, how it aroused him so.

 

[PrudeinOC]

Kara had never known such pain. Her tongue throbbed where she had bit it whilst convulsing under the cruel wizard's electrocutions. She wavered in and out of consciousness the pain threatening to take over. She knew Myxoplyx could see her, could see her pain, her humiliation and could stop it at any time. He obviously chose not to. He must be testing her. She was probably failing for having been caught. Could he really be so cruel? He was Drow after all... and she had seen how little mercy he showed to Faris and the group that tried to buy her. Why then was he allowing this to carry on?

And then the Wizard Kilroy put his mouth to her nipple and she was wide awake. She strained and struggled against her bonds. She managed to lift herself up a couple of inches and came down biting the wizard's ear with all her might!

 

[amon_darknight]

Suddenly the wizard, the orc, the room, the pain, the confusion was gone, all of it a cloud of haze. Kara could hear clapping and cheering, whistling. When she came to she saw Myxoplyx standing over her, the weapon room was clear as day to her. Myxoplyx knelled down and smiled as he kissed her lips. "Bravo Kara, fantastic display. I was impressed, what you showed me... brilliant." he kissed her lips again and helped her up, she was not hurt, she was 100 percent ok. He hugged her. "Kara, you are the first that has not spoken, you know how to keep your mouth shut, you are the first to know that secrets and intell are very important, very powerful. You now are my full apprentice. I am so proud, come, we have lots of work to do." He

 

[PrudeinOC]

Kara was dazed by the abrupt shift. Her shoulder hurt her no more, nor did her wrists and ankles where she had been bound, she was fully clothed and being kissed by Myxoplyx. At first she resisted him. Confused and still processing the trauma she had been experiencing. He had been watching it. He had been testing her, but not in the way she had imagined. She was still so innocent, despite the torture and horror she had just endured. It never had occurred to her he would want to test her steadfastness. She supposed it made sense, he must be even more wary than she was.

Finally she returned his affections. He was proud of her and congratulating her. It did make her feel good, but she still had not fully recovered from the emotions of the vision.

"Let's go then" she gulped, this was going to be more gruesome than she had anticipated. And the further removed from the moment, the more she understood and accepted that it needed to come to pass. She would have to face that test, and better sooner than later after wasting extensive time training her.
"Myxoplyx, you'll always come for me, won't you? If I do get captured and am being tortured, you won't let them live will you?"

 

[amon_darknight]

He grinned at her as she asked that. It made sense she would, but he did not want to lie to her. "Karax I told you that I would not lie to you, yet you ask a question like that. I am sad to say , no. If it compromises me, I will not, but if I can help you, than of course I will. Kara, I told you that I am in love with you, but I have a lot riding on this slice of the town, selfish it may sound... but that is why you must hone your skills. Become as perfect as you can. Seek immortality if you have to. I know a few lads and ladies that are... bastards..." he shook his head. He than took her hand in his and walked back to the door and closed it, he locked it and than pulled out a set of keys, all different in designs. He used a kew with a large feather wing on it. He opened the same door with it, this time it was a rooftop setting. "Kara... welcome to the flats, here you will learn to be like a cat, move from ledge to ledge, tuck and roll, jump and attack, hell even jump. Also you get three free falls, this ring had three charges, fall and you will be safe, after three, pain, broken bones, maybe even death. I will set up rewards for you, maybe another ring, maybe a wand..." he looked to her and grinned "oh... you dont know how to use wands... this traning will teach you to use what inner strength you have, you have a gift about you, learn it, this course will make you or break you. Follow the path I leave you, take a different path, be wary, use to many easy paths and things will bite you, use more difficult paths, seek reward. Everything you earn, you keep." He smiled as he tipped his hat and he ran off down the flat balcony, he leapt to the next building with ease, flipping, jumping, tucking into rolls on small thin ledges, he was fast, he was nibble, he threw daggers at targets, even live targets, she saw a red line where he moved. He appeared behind her as he smiled and hugged her. "Good luck, train hard and learn from your mistakes, even your successes, the course will change from time to time, so be aware. Go, learn, make me proud."

 

[PrudeinOC]

Myxoplyx had more natural dexterity than she did as a drow, but she was nimble and did have sure balance, her love of dancing was helping her. She shuddered to think of possible consequences for failure, taking strength from his hug and sure in the knowledge that despite how arduous the last exercise had been, it had made sense. So she lept with abandon. She followed the red line doing her best to maintain momentum. She knew if she slowed down she was sure to fall and use up the charges in the rings. As she had not actually wandered in a desert, her body was fresh and lithe and mentally it was almost easy by comparison. She was glad for the red line to follow, she would not have been able to follow his route by memory.

She was so focused on the route she faltered and fell nearly 3/4 of the way along when a creature suddenly came up from nowhere she could see to bite at her face. She squealed as she fell and cursed in frustration realizing her mistake. She needed to be more aware of her surroundings and not focus solely on the path. She had lost some of the momentum but was able to scrape through the rest of the course, she nearly missed on a very long jump and sported a great long scrape 8 inches long down her left leg

 

[amon_darknight]

Myxoplyx watched her, she was quite the natural. She needed to stop thinking so much though. He smiled as he remembered going throigh this course, it was a fun time. He also wanted to see what she could do with a bit of magic. He had left as the first reward a wand of levitation, the second another wand, this of spider climb. He saw her reach the first wand and he warp stepped to the other side of the building, across the gal, he watched her close to see what she could do, he wanted her to be a power, something she could just do. She had a power to her, what that power was... had something to do with magic, the weave, Mystra.

 

[PrudeinOC]

The wand was laying on a podium, Myxoplyx was no where to be seen, which Kara accepted meant he was probably watching her. She kept a wary eye out for surprises and reached for the wand. It tingled pleasantly slightly warm in her hands when she held it. She felt lighter as if she were being lifted up despite her feet remaining on the ground. She smiled slightly and looked around, the line remained but it was faded slightly. She took off through the course again following the faded line at an easy lope. She was not caught off guard the next time a disfigured creature popped up at her, she was going so quickly she was by it before she could see what it was. The next rooftop over a second creature was blocking the path menacingly and Kara held one of the swords in front of her like a lance.

 

[amon_darknight]

Myxoplyx watched from a cloud above her, watching her every move. He had to admit, she had natural talent, for a human. She had only used one charge from the ring it seemed. She did not hold back, and that was what he liked to see. He saw she reached the wand, her first reward, this was what he wanted to see. He watched her carefully as she held it, caressed it. He watched the weave flow around her, majestic as it was, the flow of magic swirled around her and through her, it was magnificent. But would she be able to activate it? He shook his head and watched as she made it past a few more obstacles.

A large hobgoblin stood in her way as she charged with her sword out, Myxoplyx sighed as she telegraphed her move, even a unseasoned orc would move out of her way, but a seasoned warrior...

CLANG

The sound of metal against metal rang out as the hobgoblin parried her sword straight down and was coming in with his other hand to grab at her...

 

[PrudeinOC]

The hobgoblin was not intimidated by her charge and slammed her blade down with a powerful swing, Kara expected the hit, since he didn't move out of her way, but she was not expecting the force of it and was thrown off balance, The hobgoblin reached for her and Kara had the windmill her free arm to try to gain balance. She lobbed the incoming hand off at the wrist which began to fountain blood and served only to anger the hobgoblin, who swept her careening ass off the ledge with the side of his blade.

Kara let out a surprised squeak and slipped off the blood soaked edge. She felt the wand, as if it desired to be used, but her hands held her blades. The ring let off another charge and brought her back up to the top of the ledge. The hobgoblin was trying to staunch the blood flow to it's wrist lest it pass out from blood loss and Kara was able to cut him down in his distraction. Her attacks were still clumsy but improving sightly. She took a step forward and her foot almost went out from under her, it was still slick with the hobgoblins blood! She wiped the excess blood off on the twitching hobgoblin before carrying on with the course. She was breathing hard from the exertion and her second fall. Kara looked around and spied the faint line and set off to follow it. the final jump seemed further than it was the time before, so Kara doubled back and got a full running start before making the jump. this time she cleared it.

 

[amon_darknight]

Myxoplyx watched the battle, he shook his head as she fell. She needed to be more aggressive, not so shy and scared of battle, he thought to himself... maybe she is not meant for the blade, maybe with that force in her, maybe she is more meant for the arcane... he shook his head as she came back and took the hobgoblin down easily, her blade movement was weak and slow, she needed more power, more speed to be deadly. He leaped down to the course, the other side and made sure she could see him. He made his way across a large jump and to a large stretch where four orcs came at him and a strange looking wolf, he stared at Kara, he saw that she saw him and watched. He let slip two small daggers from the insides of his sleeves, he swung one out and it enlarged to a long sword, the other stayed in dagger size, he tucked into a roll and threw the dagger out to fake out the first of the orcs, as the Drow came out of the roll he already had another dagger in his hand somehow and he parried with his long sword a slash at his head, he reversed the momentum of the swing and pushed back to make the orc go off balance, he than spun and crossed his blades to block another attack of a different orc, he pushed back and threw the orc off balance as well, he saw the other two coming in and he grinned as he rolled again and sprung to his feet fast, slashing his long sword again to feint the orc in front of him, he moved fast, fast like the wind as he spun and slashed out, all to just keep the orc moving back, the wolf howled, its fur changed colors to white as Myxoplyx had a Orc in his grasp, the dagger to its throat, the other three came in trying to trip him up, Myxoplyx was the faster though as he pushed the orc into the three and back flipped over the wolf that charged him, he was getting closer and closer to the edge as he never took a killing blow from them or delivering one to them, he just parried and dodged there attacks, keeping 5 at bay, easily, all by just keeping them off balance, with his speed mainly. He had hoped she was carefully watching, because she would be facing this sane challenge. He grinned as they cornered him, his back was to the ledge, he looked over to Kara on the opposite side of him and blew her a kiss as he took a step and went to his knees, he quickly spun around like a tornado and had his blades slashing out in front of him, the orcs moved back easily, but one tripped over the wolf, Myxoplyx came out of the spin and rushed forward to stab at the first orc caught off guard by his charge, he stabbed him three times in the sternum, the orc coughed up blood as Myxoplyx used his body as a shield, he tossed him aside at the wolf, the wolf easily dodged to the side, Myxoplyx was in full control of the fight. The wolf came in snarling and snapping, but used a different tactic, he tried to run and trip up the Drow getting in his feet, snapping at his shins, Myxoplyx grinned as he lept over wolf and threw his dagger into the orc behind the wolf, stabbing into his throat, that was two down, three to go, Myxoplyx tucked into a roll and as he came out he thew his momentum back and slashed out behind him, extending his arm back and out slashing the wolfs jaw off as he slid, the orc was awe struck as he saw that move and Myxoplyx slid right past him, standing up quickly and he used his cape to feint the two orcs, confusing them in the distance they had to cover to strike at him, before they knew it they fell to the ground with daggers stuck in there faces and Myxoplyx walking towards the wounded mortally wolf. He kicked the wolf over and raised his hand to the sky as he again blew another kiss to Kara, he turned to run and took the next jump that seemed incredibly far like it was nothing to him.

He looked to her and vanished as he appeared beside Kara, his hand on her ass. "This time lover, it will get harder, I hoped you just watched carefully what I did, because..." He made a follow gesture as he ran and leapt over the first rooftop and landed with grace of a Elf. "Its your turn to do what I did... I will be waiting on the other side, remember, use what your mind and body knows and feels... I see much power in you, screaming to come out." He walked right past the foes that waited for her.
