Affairs of Court

[WritesNaughtyStories]

The air was close and still, scented with the mingled perfumes of the various nobles and courtiers who attended them. It was not unpleasant, exactly - more a reminder of where Rangathapan was and what he was doing.

He could sit and listen, discuss philosophy or strategy but this was miserable.

The woman was attractive enough. They all were. He was, after all, the crown prince to The Celestial Court of Ælfenlourds - the noble families would bring the best, brightest and most beautiful to secure a closer link to the throne. They all knew the game. They all knew they were playing. Ranga knew it would have little to do with his preference or desire who he'd wed. The throne was holding out for House Alamaharan - her army was nearly the equal of the throne's own, and combined the two lineages would be unstoppable. Their son was of age but Ranga had no lasting interest in men. The daughter was young yet - so until she reached betrothal age, there would be a parade of hopefuls.

Ranga looked through the crowd of nobles to the transparent green leaf that covered the window. Out there, beyond the tangle of Ælfen city, deep into the wild forest, his friends hunted, Ranga would much rather be there, out in the clean loam and trees, spear in hand, senses sharp and breath coming hard as they ran...

"Prince Rangathapan, you seem far away." Someone remarked with the tinkle of a forced laugh and his attention snapped back to the elegantly appointed hall.

Beyond the city and nearby settlements Sagram and several others trotted nearly silently through the heavy forest, running down a deer they'd been chasing for the best part of an hour. The deer was faster, but they ran carefully, marshaling their deep reserves of endurance and patience. Sagram pointed with his long, silver spear and one of the cadre moved to cut off the angle.

Sagram ducked under a branch, spear held low, and moved to step around a protruding root and tumbled to the ground. "Wha..." he gurgled as he rolled to his knees,

A person lay on the ground, They were thickly built - a woman? Maybe. The proportions were inelegant.

He gave a low whistle to summon his hunting party.

"A human?" Did they even exist any more? He readied his knife to slaughter it before it ran to bring more of them.

"What is that?" Hanan asked from over his should.

Sagram glanced over his shoulder for a moment. "I asked the same thing. A human, I think. Let's just kill it and try to find that deer."

"No." Hanan hissed excitedly, "Let's take her to Ranga - he'd be so upset if he didn't get to see it. You know he's in the palace trying to politely not marry Wahanis."

Sagram gave his old friend a suspicious look before turning an evaluating eye on the alien. "It's not very pretty."

"No. But it'll be the only one - that'll count for something."

As the hunters spoke amongst themselves over what to do with the human, she continued to lie there, a few fingers twitching over the continued disturbance to an otherwise peaceful area it has been moments ago. She had been exhausted after getting lost, and finally tripped over the root Sagram avoided, the bump to her head finally being the thing to force her to finally rest.

"Ranga would love that." Another of the cadre, Kailu, spoke in agreement while wrinkling his nose at the human. It really was a strange sight to see, Sagram was right about it not being very pretty. The clothes it wore were strange looking as well, so it definitely nothing like the women back home, if it was even a woman that it. 

"Probably want to bind it's arms if we do take it to him. Don't want to take any chances on it being feral or something." He added a moment later, poking the human with the end of his own spear, getting a small sound from it. That made him frown even more and crouch down to better peer at it. 

For as strange as the human was, it did have pretty hair at least.

"Probably want to bind it's arms if we do take it to him. Don't want to take any chances on it being feral or something"

Sagram and Hanan nodded as Kailu suggested they bind the creature.

Sagram clicked his tongue appreciatively, "Good idea, Kailu." He slid a length of stout, soft cord off his belt and looped it around its wrists. "Hanna, do its feet - we'll string it on the spear." Legend said the blood-red cord was what the first Ælf lords had bound the demons to the underworld with. What was certain was not even a bear could break it.

Where Sagram bound the human's wrists with rapid, overlapping bights and turned a loop to pass the spear through, Hanna laid tidy, parallel turns and an artful, carefully placed loop. He looked up as he rolled their trophy over and chuckled.

"Do you do anything elegantly, Sagram?"

Sagram reached up and grabbed Hanan's generous manhood through his breaks. "I thought you liked it fast and rough..."

As Hanan pulled Sagram forward, pressing the other man's face to his crotch and getting ready to comment on how effective it was, Kailu cleared his throat.

"Lads?" He asked, pointing at the human.

Both men made a face but shrugged. "It's not going anywhere."

"No," he agreed feeding the butt of his spear through the loops, "but you two can fuck at home and I don't have to wait."

"I'll fuck you too." Hanna offered.

Kailu pulled an annoyed face and pointed to the sharp end of his spear, projecting just beyond the loop at the girl's feet. "I'd rather fuck that." It wasn't entirely clear if he was referring to the spear or their captive. To Sagram there wasn't much difference.

"There's nothing either of you offer that I have any interest in." He continued. "Let's get going."

Hanan added his own spear and the three set off. Hanna and Sagram hefted the torso and and Kailu lifted her legs.

"Lords!" Hanna swore, "It's heavy enough."

[Sleepy Hollow Deactivated]

"Not surprised, for as scrawny as you are." Kailu joked, his own bit of air leaving him as the three evenly distributed the weight of the human. While the three began to carry her, her face began to contort just a bit. The jostling had began to waken her, and in return she began to make some small, light noises.

"I wonder why the human was out here, it is a bit strange one would be on it's own, isn't it?" Kailu spoke moments later, readjusting his grip on her legs.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Sagram listened to Kailu's question and shrugged, "Why do winefruit vines only grow on mux trees?"

"You're not the least bit curious?" Kailu asked, picking his way through the brush gracefully.

Sagram snorted, "The least but, sure. But there's little point in thinking about it much. Better to know wine is delicious and think more about Hanan's cock."

Kailu harumphed in annoyance, "You'd both be a lot more attractive if he could take it off and stuff it in your mouth."

Hanna laughed aloud but said nothing and the trio fell quiet as they carried their quarry toward home.

As the human began to stir, Hanan pointed it out, "I think it's waking up. Shall we see if it speaks?"

"Why?" Sagram asked, more interested in getting home an on to more pleasant pursuits.

Kailu and Hanna were more curious about their gift for Ranga and agreed to question their catch. Now it was Sagran's turn to grumble wordlessly, but his companions' minds were set.

They didn't quite drop their load but gentleness was not a primary concern. Hanna squatted beside her head and turned her face toward himself.

"Do you speak?" He demanded flatly.

His accent was heavy, the timing and rhythm strange enough that the girl had a hard time understanding.

 

[Sleepy Hollow Deactivated]

The human furrowed her brows at the question, the words taking a moment to click once she had a moment to process what the accented words were. 

"I-... of course I speak?" She finally said, looking at the one who had addressed her, dumbfounded. Honestly, what kind of question was that? 

"Well I'll be," Kailu huffed out a laugh, "it does speak." The elf said grinning down at the human. So it was intelligent enough to at least understand speech, though to what extent was the question. He was just about to wonder why it wasn't trying to get free, when she started to fidget with her bindings. It was sort of cute how she seemed to think she could wiggle free, but ultimately a useless waste of her time to try.

"All that's going to do is rub your wrists and ankles raw." He finally said a moment later, amused at the face she made when she realized he was right. 

 

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Sagram's eyes widened slowly in a mixture of surprise and doubt. Cocking his head the tiniest bit, he turned his eyes to Kailu. "Doesn't really change much, does it?"

Hanan grinned at his friend and frequent lover, "No. But Lords, it's a chunk."

Sagram nodded as he bent to grab the spear, "Let's just get it back."

He hunting companions agreed and hoisted their human captive onto their shoulders and set off. They made their way through the forest to the outskirts of the city and paused.

Sagram guided them to a nearby barn where they strung the spears across an empty stall.

"You, keep quiet - the peasants will likely kill you if they see you."

He looked at his friends, "We can't just walk through the streets with it."

Kailu and Hanan nodded, "We can get in the way Ranga always sneaks out, but how do we get there?"

Hanan raised a finger, "You two wait here and keep that thing quiet," and then slipped out.

Kailu looked to Sagram for an explanation but the dark -haired, muscular elf shrugged and gave his head a little shake. He looked at the human.

"We need to get it cleaned up Kailu."

"Yeah." The paler, leaner and impossibly graceful elf agreed, "But we can't just stroll into the bathhouse with it, can we?"

Sagram gave a sideways nod, "There's got to be a bucket in here, and there's water in the trough - be cold, but what's it going to know?"

Kailu figured the human could talk so it could probably feel the cold, but who knew if they every washed. It certainly didn't smell like it. He gave a little chuckle, But neither did he, at the moment.

While Kailu went for a bucket, Sagram leaned close to the human, hanging between the walls of the stall. "Keep still and quiet," He warned, drawing his long, sleek knife. He began to cut through the creatures coarse, style-less clothing and peel it away. Dropping the fabric - if you could call it that - to the floor, he gasped.

"Kailu!" He exclaimed. But quickly recovered himself, "Some here - it's got udders and wool!" He whispered harshly.

"What?" Kailu replied, setting the bucket down with a splash.

"Look-" Sagram urged, pointing at her pubic hair.

Kailu's breath caught in his throat as he tried to fit the relatively civilized form with the animal characteristics.

 

[Sleepy Hollow Deactivated]

The human didn't know wether she wanted to scream and shout, or try and hide away, as best as she could given the circumstances, and cry. She could already feel frustrated tear start to prickle  at the corner of her eyes. The only thing keeping her from fully panicking is that they don't seem to be interested in more untoward things, though she didn't exactly like the way they were treating and talking about her right now.

"What is wrong with you?!" She finally blurted out, "I'm not an animal, you can't just degrade me like that!" She hissed out a moment later, being mindful to try and keep her voice down a bit. Maybe this was her fault for how docile she had been acting, up until now, but this was just crossing a line. 

She had noticed that her captors looked different than anyone she knew, and thought maybe she was out of her mind a bit, but maybe she wasn't suffering some consequences of a concussion like she had thought while they transported her. Maybe they really were, what? elves? They did resemble the race of myth, but come on? Really?

Either way, this was really pushing her limits and she was done with this.

Kailu just rolled his eyes, momentarily brought out of his shock at how the human looked bare, "Still sure it isn't going to know?" He said jokingly before taking a few steps towards it to peer closer at the hair between it's legs. He would have thought it would look more like the hair on her head.

"I'm not an animal, you can't just degrade me like that!"

Sagram's brows knotted as he tried to penetrate the girl's accent. When the light of understanding finally went on, he gave one of her breasts a jiggle, "Uh - looks a lot like a cow to me." His fingers were incredibly long and slender and his skin impossibly soft and cool. Even next to the pale skin of her bare tit, the elf's skin seems to glow a pale blue-white.

59 minutes ago, Sleepy Hollow said:

"Still sure it isn't going to know?"

Sagram shrugged again, his hand still laying on the human's fat udder. "Doesn't change things - can't take it to the bathhouse, can't give it to Ranga dirty." He turned his gaze from his compatriot to his captive, "This is going to be cold. Stay quiet or the locals will kill you."

He nodded toward the bucket. "You dump, I'll scrub."

Kailu shook his head, amused by Sagram's display of kindness, as he bent to pick up the bucket. Sagram pointed to her head, and Kailu sloshed small portion of the bucket over the human's blocky, lumpy face and Sagram's long, deft fingers scrubbed away the bit of blood and dirt. He worked them through her hair, picking out leaves and grass. He moves quickly, unconcerned for the human's comfort, but intent on doing a good job quickly.

As he examines her tresses to ensure the job is done well, Hanan returns. He gives a little gasp too. "Lords - you could feed the palace off that thing's tits!"

Sagram looked up from its unexpectedly soft hair, "Absolutely." He nods to Kailu and points at her heavy breasts, as they roll slightly to the side. "Even bigger than that cow of your sister."

Hanan giggles, but folds a hand quickly over his mouth, "I shouldn't laugh at that - you know your parents have eyes on her for you, right."

Kailu splashed another load of cold water over the human and Sagram began washing her shoulders, upper arms and breasts. Kailu opined, "Looks like you're getting good practice, Sagram."

"Your cock's not that good, Hanan - lend a hand will you?"

The human gasped in shock from the cold, body seizing for a moment in an attempt to get away, but unable to. Her teeth chattered for a few moments before she relaxed as the initial discomfort from the cold went away. Though she hated being cleaned up like this, she was at least a bit grateful, however begrudgingly, that they seemed to actually be making her somewhat presentable. Though she did wish they would use soap if she had to deal with this.

"Your cock's not that good, Hanan - lend a hand will you?"

"Don't you dare!" She snapped, showing teeth, in an attempt to be menacing. It was one thing for the two original assholes to be cleaning her up, she didn't want anymore hands touching her then she had to deal with. 

She really wished they would just be done already, she was tired of hearing them compare her to a cow. 

[WritesNaughtyStories]

14 minutes ago, Sleepy Hollow said:

"Don't you dare!"

Hanan's hand froze but he laughed aloud. "It's got spine." he chuckled as he began to scrub away the dirt that covered her arms. He workd his way toward her breast quickly, far more daintily than Sagram and gave her breast a squeeze. He made a slightly appreciative face. "Strange - much firmer than milking a cow, but Lords there's a lot of it."

Hanan looked at her, "So, are these typical for humans?" He asked, giving her breast a squeeze as pointed to her belly. "Dump the rest Kailu, and fetch another. Wish we had soap, but this'll have to do for now."

Kailu dumped the bucket and Hanan and Sagram rubbed her down. As his hand ran over her pubic thatch, Sagram recoiled. "Ugh... that is rough." Hanan gave his friend an questioning look and laid a tentative hand on the soft mound.

He isolated a few hairs and rubbed them between his fingers.

He pulled his hand away and looked to her face again, "What happened? Were you cursed or something?"

Sagram looked at Hanan, "You know, that makes sense - feel her head. It's nice - even for people, It's soft and smooth, but that's the worst wool ever." He said, pointing at her bush.

"No wonder they're so rare - who'd fuck such a thing?" Kailu offered, returning with the bucket. "How are we getting out of here, Hanan."

"I bought a cart off some teamster. I'll get the money from Ranga later." he shared pointing at the girl's pubic mound. "Let's finish this up and get going."

Kailu slopped another load of cold water on the human, soaking her Mons and hidden sex with the shilling liquid. Hanan rubbed away at her thatch and slid his long, nimble fingers between her legs. He rubbed thoroughly and looked at Sagram, "Feels like a normal enough cunt."

"Yeah?" Sagram asked pushing out his lower lip in a mixture of doubt and question.

"What would either of you know about cunts?" Kailu asked, shaking his head with a broad smile of his face.

Hanan tilted his head to one side, "You think he's the only person I fuck?" he asked, hooking a bejeweled thumb at Sagram.

Kailu's grin broadened, "Can't imagine anyone else making such bad decisions."

Sagram threw a half angry glance at Kailu but squatted under the human's dangling behind and spread her thighs.

"Weird dark color, but yeah - pretty regular issue." He pushed one vulva aside and explored the exposed labia with an alien digit. "Might be better to take her to the alchemists." Hanan's hands slid over the human's hips as Sagram spoke, and spread the water over her very generous, and to the elves, immense ass.

"Don't be stupid, Sagram." Hanan said, separating her legs from above to look at Sagram, "If Ranga wants them to have it, he'll take care of it. Let's get it cleaned up and give him his gift. You know how badly he wanted to go today..."

"Feel its ass, Sagram," Hanan said as his friend stood up, "it's huge and nearly as soft as its tits."

"I saw, close up." Sagram grumbled, as he finished rinsing their prize.

"You're right Hanan." He said, standing back up. He signaled to Kailu for the rest of the water and the pair finished scrubbing down the human's thick legs.

While Sagram manned the door and Kailu minded the captive, Hanan slipped out the door and unhooked the cart from the team. He pushed the cart to the barn door and waited for Sagram to open it.

With the cart inside the barn, the trio lifted the human into the bed of the cart and laid it in. Sagram tied the human's hands to the side of the cart and gagged it with a surprisingly clean and pleasantly perfumed kerchief before they threw a tarpaulin over it.

Kailu took a position in the back of the cart as Sagram and Hanan rode in the seat.

[Sleepy Hollow Deactivated]

'Perverts' the human thought dejectedly, eyes red rimmed and knees pulled to her chest as best as she could without her arms to hold them against herself. She made sure her thighs were pressed together as tightly as possible while eyeing the one they called Kailu from her peripheral.

She really just hoped this whole situation was a nightmare, and she really hoped that that was all it turned out to be. She really didn't want to meet whoever Ranga was, if they were excited about sending her to them, then he had to be awful.

With that thought, some of her tears overflowed and she sniffled.

"Great it's crying." Kailu sighed, "I know what you're trying to do." He said next, addressing the human, annoyed. "But it won't work on me. It's why I'm back here with you." He shrugged and cocked his head to the side and grimaced at how big she looked even when trying to make herself as small as she could.

Yeah, Ranga was going to love seeing this thing.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

The trio of elves, bearing their gift for the prince, who would one day be king, made their way through the city unnoticed. Three young noblemen returned from the hunt, bearing their prey drew no attention. That they made their way through the nobles' quarter and to the old city that backed up against the palace also went unnoticed.

At the long forgotten entrance to the Ancient Fortress, Kailu fished the key out out of his jerkin and let Sagram unlock the door. They scouted around before they pulled the tarp off and manhandled the creature through the door. Hanan paused, "Get this," he said, poking the human roughly, put somewhere safe and meet me at the ballroom - I want to be there when Ranga sees this."

Sagram raised his head in agreement as Kailu pushed Hanan out. "Go. Get rid of that cart. See you later."

Kailu extended his hand to Sagram for his key as Hanan closed the door behind them. Sagram slapped it into his hand - the sound loud in the sudden dark.

"Cut her foot loose." Sagram ordered as he grabbed the rope between the human's hands. In moments the pair pushed her through the dark corridors. "We'll stash it in the cell where the king kept his sister when she tried to seize the throne." The elves moved as if the dark did not exist or they knew their way through the passageway.

Kailu grunted his assent softly, "Yeah. No one goes down there."

"Exactly." Kailu could feel Sagram grinning through the dark.

After a short time spent in the dark, turning this way and that the pair stopped. Sagram clamped a tight grip on the human and used one hand to cover her cloth stuffed mouth. Kailu pause, leaning against the disused door and listening,

"I think we're good." He whispered before her cracked the door. The sliver of light seemed painfully bright but neither elf seemed to notice. Kailu shifted his weight to scan the space beyond through the tiny crack. "Clear." he said pushing the door open and pulling the naked human out into a tall, wide corridor.

What it was made of the human could not tell. It shone with an inner, shifting light that looked a bit like mother-of-pearl but the hues seemed richer and to shift, even if her gaze didn't. The elves pulled her along in a controlled, furtive shuffle. A few step later they turned sown another hall and seemed to relax a bit.

They strode carefully, their soft boots quieter than even the human's bare feet. Several more turns and they stopped at a door.

"Hope it's unlocked."

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"I don't know." Kailu admitted, opening the door and pulling the human through.

Two bright silver rings decorated the wall to the side of a sweeping, elegantly carved bed, laid with jacquard cushions and covers in shift soft greens and teals, "Good enough to tie up a princess." Sagram though out loud, pointing to the rings.

"Too good for this?" Kailu asked.

Sagram, as was his wan, shrugged, "Want her wandering around?"

Kailu shook his head with a soft chuckle. "Fair point." He pushed the human toward the wall. "Grab it, Sagram - I don't want to chase her through the palace."

Sagram took a large handful of hair and wrapped it around his fist, "Hold still." he ordered.

Kailu untied her wrists and clamped a frighteningly strong grip around one and tugged it toward the ring on the wall. He looked at her other hand, "It hits me with that, and I'm hitting you Sagram."

The other elf's hand was nearly impossible to see as it shot our and closed like a vice on the human's other wrist.

"You're such a pussy, Kailu."

"I know." He replied, unfazed, as he looped the cord through the ring and around the creature's wrist. He laid tidy, neat bights, securing its arm to the wall with the smooth, careful rope work of a practiced sailor. Sagram started to do the other, but Kailu covered the captive's wrist. "Let me. No one wants to see your handiwork."

Sagram rocked his head to the side, "It holds, doesn't it?"

Kailu nodded, "Yes, but there's more to life than simply getting the job done."

He repeated the tie down job and looked at her feet. "Think we nee to do those too?"

"Nah - I bet that collar the put on Princess Anharasas is in here - we'll just lock it up."

"Find it." Kailu replied simply.

It took a minute as Sagram searched the well appointed room, but he returned to Kailu's side a moment later. The collar was nearly as wide as the human's hand, as silver as the rings on the wall and engraved with an elegant, flowing motif that curled over the surface. At one side a chain was afixed to a heavy ring. Opposite the chain was a closure that operated by several clasps that would take four hands to undo.

Kailu slipped the device around her neck and the elves closed it. The far end of the chain was anchored to the floor between the rings the human's wrists were bound to.

"That should do it." Sagram said.

"Lovely wrapping too, putting it here, were his aunt assured Ranga he'd get the throne."

The pair paused to admire their handiwork and offered the human wicked smiles. "We'll be back in a bit."

[Sleepy Hollow Deactivated]

"Fuck off," The human spoke, rage being mostly all she felt now. The way she was treated and spoken of, finally getting past her feeling sorry for herself. Clearly all they saw her as was an animal and now that's how she was going to behave until they left and she could have a proper cry and be able to feel as sorry for herself and she needed to.

She really wasn't thrilled they added this collar either.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

9 hours ago, Sleepy Hollow said:

"Fuck off,"

The phrase didn't make much sense to the elves but the human's tone made the intent clear.

Kailu looked at Sagram and gave a tired sigh, "Put its gag back in. Don't want anybody finding it before we get back with Ranga."

Sagram gave a slight sideways nod and turned back. He collected the saliva-soaked cloth from the floor and made a face as he balled it up in one hand. His long, strong fingers forced her mouth open and he pushed the soggy mass in. He gave a sigh of his own and grabbed a blanket off the bed. A few moments later, with some help from an increasingly annoyed Kailu, and the bedding was wrapped tightly around the gift's face.

"The stupid thing is going to get itself killed before we can get here with Ranga." Sagram complained as they left. "Then what?"

"You quit sucking Hanan's dick and start sucking Ranga's?" Kailu suggested as they closed the door and hurried through the palace to meet Hanan. The reunion was brief and they rushed to find the prince. When the trio found him they were out breathing heavily, having rushed from one place to the next trying to catch up.

The Prince looked at the askance and made a sour face, "What have you three been up to?" He rocked his head to the side and gave Sagram a hard look, "Did they both have goes at you."

Sagram exhaled derisively, "I certainly wouldn't be out of breath from that, my Prince."

"Come, we'll show you, Liege." Hanan urged, tugging at the Prince's hand in blatant disregard for His personal sanctity. Ranga waved off a guard who'd tensed and pointed at Hanan's hand. "You're making the new guy nervous." He whispered. As Hanan withdrew his hand the original trio turned to leave but the Prince paused and addressed his guards.

"You, guard my quarters. These three are every bit as capable as you lot." He turned back to his friends, "Right. Let's go."

As they set off he drew close, "You know they're going to follow us."

The three nodded, "It's okay - not much for them to report, besides no one will believe them anyway."

His interested piqued, Ranga hurried with his friends to the long closed room where his father had executed his aunt.

"Oh ho..." He exclaimed as the drew to a stop in front of the door.

"You'll love it." Sagram promised, pushing Kailu toward the door, "Go - get it ready." He turned back to Ranga, "A moment, Prince."

A moment later Kailu untied the blanket and spread it on the bead and held his fingers in front of the human's mouth. "Spit it out, but I caution you, behave. The Prince is a fickle man, and your final days could be especially long and miserable..."

The Human inhaled deeply, now that the blanket was no longer nearly suffocating her, and glared at Kailu. She kept eye contact for a few seconds before, nostrils flaring, she huffed and turned her head away to the side.

"Fine." She grit out, deciding to listen to his warning. It wasn't like she could get away right now, and it was probably in her best interest to just play along until she wasn't chained up. At least until she could figure out a way to get free. Besides, when they wrapped the blanket around her head earlier, she could hear them say something about getting herself killed, so it probably wasn't just an empty threat to get her to behave. 

 

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Kailu smiled at the human, "Good." he said quietly before turning to the door and calling more loudly, "Bring his highness in."

Outside, Sagram bowed slightly and pushed the door open, "My Prince, look what we have brought you."

Ranga stepped past his friend, giving him a sidelong glance. When he stepped into the apartment, Kailu stood aside as Hanan and Sagram took up positions behind the Prince.

He was every bit as tall as Hanan, but wore loose fitting diaphanous trousers of some impossibly sliky, billowing fabric. The bloused cuffs spilled over the top of slightly darker green boots that appeared to be made of some fine grained leather that even doeskin would be coarser than. A long, open robe with a tall collar and edged in gold hung from his shoulders. He was clearly as muscular as the others but his chest was bare, sculpted and hairless, as was his handsome, almost pretty face. His features were fine and noble but almost too delicate.

With the sudden quiet the human could see it was true of all of them. Hanan was especially pretty, with large bright eyes and full, pale lavender lips.

The Prince rocked his head form one side to the other as he regarded the creature bound to the wall where his aunt had spent her last days. He looked from one friend to the next, and saw only satisfied smiles and no forthcoming explanations.

"Is that a human - a live human?" He gasped in a clear, strong, almost musical voice.

Kailu nodded as Sagram stepped forward, "That's our best guess."

The Prince moved forward with confident strides, "Is it aware?"

"It talks, if that's what you mean." Hanan replied moving to his liege's side. "It's pretty clearly a female."

The Prince laughed at the hunter derisively, "Well thank you. I thought those were it's eyes, but it's clear to me now they're tits." He elbowed Hanan playfully, "Lords you are the master of the obvious, Hanan."

The Prince moved to stand within a foot of the girl. "So, you speak. Do you have a name?" He asked, moving his head as he looked at her features. With him came the soft, pleasant scent of forest and rare spices and his strange, light eyes seemed to reflect the night sky.
