The Schemer
Jellan
Underground Lair of the Beast
WODELL
He felt it, even in his weakened state.
The veil, it was growing strong.
The prophecy, it was advancing.
When he also felt he had company in this dark hole where they allowed him to go when they weren’t using him or making him serve, Jellan curled deeper into himself, pressing his abused body closer to the stone wall.
He could tell them.
He could use his knowledge of the prophecy, his feel for the veil, to better his circumstances down in that dirty, cold, ugly hole.
“Hungry?”
It was her.
Marian.
The Mistress of the Beast.
His Beast.
That fiendish creature should be his.
Not hers.
The thing liked using him.
Perhaps Jellan could turn that around, gain control of…
She kicked him in the back, and Jellan tasted blood as he bit the insides of his mouth to stop from crying out.
He’d given them his tears. His pleas. His moans of agony.
They would have no more.
They would take no more from him than what they could force from him.
“I asked, are you hungry?” she demanded.
He needed to keep his strength.
“Y-yes,” he answered.
He heard something drop to the ground close to him and turned carefully, battling the pain that seemed to infuse every inch of his body.
He could not make out what it was in the dark, a joint of some animal, not very much meat, lying in the dirt.
