You are the Dark Lord and have just conquered the Human Kingdom of Silverwood, their army is defeated, and their people enslaved, the surviving men were sent to the gold mines and the woman are being used by your army of orcs and goblins as sex slaves As you take stock of the gold and artifacts in the castle you can hear the screams and moans of the royal maids being used by your troops, that is until you hear a new voice yell out Release me this instant you vile beast! You turn around and see Queen Veronica being led in by a goblin and a few orcs with her arms bound behind her back Sire, we have done as you commanded and have brought you the Queen unharmed and untouched. The goblin says as he pulls the chain attached to her collar
I kill my useless soldiers leaving only us in the room
Your soldiers leave the chamber as you nod to them Your Majesty... please let me go... I beg you! She says, tears streaming down her face Please don't make me your plaything, I am a Queen, a married woman and mother of two children! Her voice cracks as she tries not to cry any harder
You pause for a moment, thinking about how easily the rest of the army fell before this one woman. It was true that her beauty was unmatched even among elves. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad...
I release the restraints on her
As soon as she's freed from her restraints, she quickly crosses her arms over her chest in a defiant pose, refusing to back down even though she knows the orcs and goblins could easily overpower her again. Her pink eyes lock with yours, full of hate and determination
You have brought nothing but suffering and devastation to my kingdom, Dark Lord! But know this: I will never willingly give myself to you or any creature as vile as an orc or goblin! I will die before I succumb to your depravity! Her voice trembles with rage and fear, but she holds her head high despite the situation
In a tired deep voice I walk past her and say "do what you want my men won't stop you unless they want me to kill them"
The Dark Lord's words confuse and unnerve her for a moment, but she quickly regains her composure. Her anger flares anew as she glances at the orcs and goblins surrounding them. With a sharp intake of breath, she squares her shoulders and meets his gaze once more
I will not be your whore, Dark Lord! You may have conquered my kingdom, but you shall never touch me without my consent! And that consent shall never be given! May the gods have mercy on your soul for what you've done to my people... and on yours if you ever force yourself upon me! She stands tall, refusing to back down or show any fear despite being surrounded by enemies
If you hate me then come attack me I won't stop you
Her heart races at the Dark Lord's words, torn between her hatred and fear of him and her determination to remain strong. With a shaking breath, she clenches her fists at her side and steps closer, meeting his eyes unflinchingly. She knows this is likely a trap... but how else can she hope to free her people from this nightmare?
Very well then, Dark Lord... if that's what it takes to end this suffering once and for all, I shall face you in battle! But know this: when the dust settles, my kingdom will rise again, stronger than ever before. And those who have brought only pain and despair upon her will be erased from history! Prepare yourself... for the wrath of Queen Veronica! She raises her chin proudly, daring him to take up her challenge. Despite the danger, a small spark of hope ignites within her chest
I stand still and let her attack me
With a war cry that echoes through the chamber, Queen Veronica lunges forward, her hands raised in fists as she aims for the Dark Lord's chest. Her long pink hair flutters around her face as she moves with blinding speed and precision, unleashing a flurry of powerful strikes that any seasoned warrior would envy. The orcs and goblins watch in stunned silence, realizing for the first time that they may have underestimated their beautiful queen.
Her eyes locked with his, Queen Veronica pours everything she has into each blow, determined to bring an end to this nightmare once and for all. The Dark Lord is taken aback by her ferocity and skill, barely able to defend himself against her relentless onslaught. Slowly but surely, he begins to stagger back under the weight of her attacks, his own hands raised in a desperate attempt to fend off each strike.
Around them, chaos reigns as orcs and goblins scatter out of harm's way or charge recklessly forward, eager for a taste of glory against their queen. The air is thick with the sounds of clashing steel and snarling creatures, punctuated by Queen Veronica's determined cries as she presses her attack ever closer. With each passing second, it
If any of you orcs and goblins dare interfere I won't hesitate to kill you
The Dark Lord's warning silences the orcs and goblins for a moment as they hesitate, uncertain whether to obey their master or protect him. It is only her unyielding determination that keeps them at bay for now, as Queen Veronica continues her furious assault on The Dark Lord with all of her strength and skill. Blood trickles down from several shallow cuts across his face and arms, but still he manages to stay on his feet against her relentless onslaught
As their duel rages on, the castle around them begins to crumble under the weight of battle, collapsing in upon itself as if it were made of sand. The Dark Lord's forces retreat further away from the fierce Queen, their eyes wide with awe and respect as they watch her fight. Queen Veronica can feel her strength beginning to wane, but she refuses to give up. This battle may be lost, but she will not stop until every last one of them is dead or on their knees begging for mercy.
I fall on the floor and feel her crawl on top of me
Her lungs burning, she presses her attack until at last The Dark Lord collapses to the ground before her. Panting heavily, she glances around, noticing that most of his forces have fled or been defeated. Only a few brave (or foolish) orcs and goblins remain, looking on with fear in their eyes. With a growl of anger and disgust, Queen Veronica turns her attention back to the beast beneath her, determined to end this once and for all
Her hands clench into fists as she begins pummeling his chest, each blow a punishing reminder of all that he has done to her kingdom. Blood spatters across her face and chest as she unleashes her rage upon him, ignoring the cries of pain and pleas for mercy from those watching. Finally, with one last powerful strike that shatters his breastplate, Queen Veronica lets out a primal scream of victory and triumph.
The orcs and goblins around them are silent now, too stunned to move. They watch in shock as their fearless leader lies motionless on the ground before them, defeated by a mere woman. A tear slips down Queen Veronica's cheek as she looks upon her vanquished foe for what may be the last time. There is still so much work to
Sighs "not even you can kill me" my voice laced with disappointment
Her shoulders slump as she wipes the blood and tears from her face, glancing down at his body in disgust. Her voice is tired and hoarse from battle and anger, but there's still a determination there that refuses to be broken
I may not have been able to kill you... but I have shown you what a true warrior can accomplish. Even against impossible odds. Do not mistake my mercy for weakness, Dark Lord. For all your power and evil, you are still mortal... and one day, your reign of terror will come to an end. And when that day comes, it will be at the hand of someone far more powerful than I. You would do well to remember that...
Tears well up in my eyes "why can't I just die"
Her heart breaks as she sees tears well up in his eyes You are not the first to speak those words, Dark Lord... nor will you be the last. But do not forget what brought you here. Death is not the end for those who have done so much evil in their lives. They must face the judgement of the gods and atone for their sins before they may find peace. As for you... I can only hope that one day, you will find it in your heart to repent and change your ways, if only for the sake of those whose lives you have ruined.
The gods are the ones who cursed me with immortality. It's been over 500 years. Cursed for sins I never committed
Perhaps it is not for us to judge the gods' reasons, Dark Lord. But we can strive to be better in their honor. Even if you do not believe in such things, I implore you to find some semblance of goodness within yourself and use it to atone for the suffering you have caused. The power you wield is immense... but with great power comes great responsibility. Do not waste it on hatred and vengeance. Instead, choose to use it for the greater good, however small that may seem now. Perhaps then, one day, you will find peace.
