Once upon a time in a faraway land called Athemo lived a young boy by the name of Shorin. Born into a wealthy family he had everything he could possibly dream of. At the tender age of thirteen the kingdom in which the boy lived was conquered by an evil man by the name of Arial, and he stripped the wealthy people of all their money so all his new people would live in poverty unable to rise up against him. The king and Queen were put to death and their only son was kept alive as entertainment to Arial... The former prince was given a new name of Tiyen and was chained all day to the throne of his father which now was occupied by Arial. Shorin being his best friend decided to rise up against Arial and rescue the kingdom...

Meanwhile in the Castle...

"Dance for me boy" Arial laughed poking his sword at the prince's bare feet.

The former royal was hardly recognizable in the rags he wore and his light brown hair now long and shaggy hiding his brilliant blue eyes. He moved out of the way of the sword quickly causing Arial to shriek with pleasure.

It had been five years since Arial took over Athemo and Tiyen had barely any memories outside the castle.. Or even outside the throne room. One would think Arial would grow tired of torturing the 18 year old boy but he never did.

"Bring me water" Arial commanded and a pretty half dressed servant girl hurried to do so. She returned momentarily with the cup in her hand and she giggled as she poured it into the older man's mouth.

"Thank you Marie" Arial said placing his hand on her thigh.

This sickened Tiyen to no end. The whole castle was redesigned for the pleasure of the conqueror. Servants girls were there to flirt.. As were any other girl in the castle.

"Does Tiyen want some water?" Arial asked Marie grinning evilly.

She giggled and dipped her finger into the water and approached the famished boy. She pressed her wet finger against his dry lips for a brief second to give him hope then she pulled it away and licked it herself. "Tasty" She murmured softly.

"Excellent Marie!" Arial said pleased with her once more. "However perhaps the dog would care for some water" He said taking the cup and placing it down on the ground and then walked out of the room followed obediently by Marie.

Tiyen crawled towards the cup and found the chains that held him would not allow him to reach the cup of water however he tugged.
