Skektek was beyond words when he saw the woman lying unconscious on the bed. He knew Skeksil seemed overly excited about something but never imagined it was because of this.
"Have you lost all your senses Skeksil!? The Emperor will have your head for going against his orders!"
Chamberlain just mused calmly, "Emperor never said we couldn't bring the female back...he merely promised her to the Hunter and that was all~"
The Scientist groaned in irritation, "Damn fool. The last thing any creature in Thra would do is infuriate the Hunter...his wrath..." He trailed off with a shudder; there was no telling what he would do.
"Did any of the others see you?" As if someone was listening to their conversation the door slammed open to reveal the ritual master, "I didn't believe it to be so, but once I got word of this I had to see for myself. What have you done!?"
"Chamberlain did nothing wrong~" SkekZok pointed a finger at the accused, "The Emperor is furious! You went against his ruling on this female." The Gourmet suddenly entered and chuckled, "I'm actually impressed that you even found her AND was able to take her from SkekMal! Surely we can't overlook that."
"That's irrelevant to this matter! Chamberlain, the Emperor demands your audience."
*Gurjin couldn't believe the news of his friend returning, he immediately rushed to her chambers and hid once the Skeksis all left.
Why is she back? I'm not complaining but I thought she was living a new life...what's going on?
He quietly entered the room and sighed with relief to see that she looked alright. She was awake and sitting up but the look on her face said she wasn't happy.
"Hey! Long time no see!"
She jumped and stared wide eyed at him but didn't say anything. "Surely you didn't forget me already. Gurjin~"
"I...you look familiar...but..."
The Gelfling frowned and grew very concerned, approaching the bedside, "Quit kidding around, it's me. Don't you remember?"
She shook her head with a pitiful look, "I don't remember much of anything. What's going on?" "..I...I don't know where to begin...something must've happened to your memory." "Can you tell me what you know?" Gurjin nodded and decided it would be best to start from the beginning. She never interrupted but many different emotions appeared on her face clearly showing she had no clue; it was like she started in Thra all over again.
"Thank you Gurjin, I'm sorry I don't remember you but I feel like I can trust you. Hopefully things will start coming back to me." She rubbed her left forearm and furrowed her brows, it felt like something was supposed to be there.
Was I wearing something for a long time? Not to mention why does this room make me uncomfortable. Plus I feel...dirty...I hope it's not what I think happened.
"Guard! What are you doing in this room!?"
Gurjin stood attentive and bowed, "I apologize my lord, I heard a noise and came to investigate." SkekVar snapped, "Be off with you!" Said Gelfling rushed off quickly and the woman hated to see him leave, she was kinda scared right now.
A few images flashed before her eyes and she rubbed them so she could see straight. This feeling is all too familiar...I don't want to be here. Especially alone with this brutal Skeksis...wait, how do I know he's brutal?
"I hope the Emperor skins the Chamberlain alive for bringing you back here. Then again, maybe I should thank him so I can finally have some fun with you this time."
Her eyes grew wide and slowly got off of the other side of the bed, "Leave me alone." "You don't remember anything so this will be a good refresher on how fun it'll be."
The large Skeksis rapidly approached the female, who managed to dodge and almost make it to the door when she was jerked back by her hair. She hissed at the pain being slightly held up from above the ground and led to the bed. His claws curled on the neckline of her dress, just about to tear it apart when a deep voice boomed, "Release her General!"
He immediately dropped her and rashly remarked. "She tried to escape my Emperor and I merely was stopping her." Said Skeksis knew he was lying but let it slide, he knew very well what the General was going to do and quite frankly didn't care. "I need to have a word with this human. Leave."
Once he left the woman backed far away just in case he tried something as he asked, "Do you know who I am?" She shook her head. "That's for the best I suppose. Listen well human, I'm not pleased you've been brought back here but know this. I am the ruler and what I say goes, you're to be on your best behavior and please the Chamberlain and the Scientist for his studies."
He swiftly left the room in deep thought. If the Hunter returns to claim her, which I have my doubts since he allowed Skeksil to succeed in capturing her, then what's to be done?
*Chamberlain wasn't fazed by the lecturing from the others when he went to the meeting, he coyly explained the situation that if he was able to so easily capture the female the Hunter obviously wasn't obsessed with her any longer; plus many more lies that was surely believable regarding the Hunter.
He relished the thought about the carriage ride back to the castle. He had immediately began tasting her soft skin, freeing his erect shaft and gaining access beneath her dress. He lubed his erection with saliva to make it easier, though it was difficult to hold the limp female's body in place to insert it.
He finally succeeded and pulled her forward so she was laying against him, inhaling the floral scent of her hair and thrusting upwards, the bumps along the road made it more pleasurable and caused him to moan loudly from the erotic sensation.
He cried out when he released his semen, wishing it to never end but he knew more fun will come later. "It's time for us to get reacquainted my fair lady~"
*Antony fought tooth and nail to get his father to calm down, almost getting severely beaten in the process before they drew their swords and locked blades.
"Father! If what you say about nullroot is true you can't simply approach mother and kidnap her! Imagine the trauma she'll endure. It'll be too much for her to handle all at once, we need to do this slowly."
"Get out of my way boy! You don't realize what will happen if she stays there!"
He forced his son backwards and kicked him down, but before he got a few strides his son was back in his face again, "Let me bring her back on my own. You'll just make matters worse and I can do it calmly and peacefully."
The Hunter knew his son was right, he had control over his anger more than he ever did and Skeksis don't kill one another since there is so few of them left. If he went, someone would feel his wrath but that's not the real reason he didn't want Skekton to go.
What would the others do once they find out he was his son and his Farida was able to breed with a Skeksis?
"I'll bring her back father, but it be best not to mention I'm her son and you're her mate. We don't know the full extent of how badly her memory is yet."
For whatever was going through the Hunter's mind, he didn't stop Antony from leaving which he was thankful for. He also wanted to go to meet these other Skeksis he's heard about, curious what they were like. His parents never said much about them except his mother told him of two she hated, for whatever reason she never revealed but he knew part of it had to do with the scars on her back.
He finally was able to see Gelfling up close as well, since his father forbade him to affiliate with any since he was what he was.
I can't be kept hidden forever. I want to travel the lands and see it all. This is the first step of my existence being known to the Skeksis and Gelfling.
When he approached the entrance, it was obvious the guards were struck by fear having never seen someone like him before but he just smiled softly and politely stated, "I'm here to speak with the Emperor."
TBC: I'm SO SO sorry for the long update but I'm not going to leave it unfinished lol
