Chapter 2: "Crown Jewel"
Thank you all for your help and reviews so without further ado I give you chapter 2! : 3
My home. The only place I've known. Never have I had any type of contact with the outside world. To my father the chief the outside was a place cursed with evil that no man of his right mind should dare to explore. Being taught that kind of thinking I grew to hate everything that was not of my people…
We did not allow any outsiders to join our midst for the superstition of them bringing about curses and the like ruled out logic. To the outside we were called the 'Hermit Country' the stigma surrounding our nation was not a good one. Rumors such as we were barbarians and we brutally killed any foreigner in our midst spread like wildfire. Because of this soon no one dared to visit our land. We were left undisturbed for centuries…
That was until the powerhouse empire known as the Kou Empire came to be. What was once just a small kingdom soon became it seems overnight a fearsome federation ruled by a greedy and ignorant emperor. Within a short amount of time they started their conquest to rule the world. One by one the neighboring territories fell. It would not be long until they set their eyes for my home. My father knew this is refused to back down. He told me that an empire ruled by such an evil man would be destroyed… The bloodshed and utter annihilation of my people will never be forgotten.
They were too strong. Their weapons and sheer number overwhelmed us. Our puny army was tossed aside like trash and the enemies' military had their way with the women. They ripped the babies from their mothers' and would smash their heads on rocks and feed them to their dogs. Our women were raped and killed our men rallied up and massacred all at once. None accept a few survived. Had we had not ran and hid we would've been killed as well. But eventually we were found. With their men laughing and berating us we were huddled along like livestock as prisoners of war. We were the property of the Huang Empire….
Pt:2
As if to add insult to injury we had to endure the quipping and insults of those mindless puppets. The remarks about my naked body and color of my skin were offensive to say the least. All I could hear would the bragging of their armies' commanders and the over-indulgent celebration as they had proved once more they were not to be trifled with without being destroyed. I longed to see slow and painful death of every single one of them.
"Hey girl" One of the men called me over.
"…." I didn't know a lick of their language so I remained silent.
Ignoring my silence the obviously drunk soldier pulls me to him. I can smell the alcohol on his breath. These men disgust me.
"Why don't you entertain us for a bit we're getting bored over here "He says with the others mumbling their agreement. God I can feel their predatory gaze on me. It makes me feel sick.
I couldn't understand what he was saying and all I could do was look at him with a confused look on my face. Becoming aggravated at my ignorance her proceeds to yell in a slow voice
"I said to entertain us. Since you are now property of our emperor you belong to us!" Being thrown to the ground a few tears fall. My home gone... And here I am forced to be their plaything! No! I refuse to bow to their will. There's a saying "If you bow today you will conquer tomorrow". Taking that resolve and pride of my extinct culture I stand and dance.
I shake my hips, I let my hair swing and I seduce the men with my body. I am the crown jewel of my people! I will never obey!
