Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

A/N: I mean no disrespect in this chapter! NONE AT ALL!

It was dark as a wave of icy winds trickled over my flesh, sending chills racing down my spine. I trembled, unsure what was happening. I couldn\'t move, and no matter what I did, I could not open my eyes.

At least I couldn\'t until the searing flames of heat slapped over my back, and my eyes snapped open to the vibrant light searing my cornea. Tears filled my eyes as I felt the heat of the abyssal sun piercing through me before settling.

Startled at where I was, I felt my arms strung up by what felt like chains when a cold voice bellowed," I like little boys! Wake your ass up!"

What?

What the hell is going on?

It was still hard to move and even harder to breathe, as I felt like I could come apart at any moment.

"Turn him to face me," The icy voice said.

Glancing around at the field of snow, with dozen or so ruggedly beaten men training, something in me bubbled.

Two harms came over me and jerked me towards a muscular man with long dark hair, grey eyes, and a long crooked nose. He wasn\'t tall, relatively short, but he seemed fully grown. It seemed like he was a mixture of dwarf and human.

"I like little boys, your finally awake. It\'s been five hundred years!" He said, and I couldn\'t help but look perplexed.

If I could talk, I would, but despite being awake, I could not even move. But I guess that works in my favor; I tend to say the wrong things.

"A little faggot like you needs to be trained!"

\'...\'

Can he say that? Dear God, I\'m canceled. Wait, am I—

No.

No.

FUCK NO!

My name is not \'I like Little Boys!\' Who the fuck came up with that!

I\'m Arsene SNOW!

WTF!!!

"What? got nothing to say!" Eyes narrowing, the half-dwarf sneered, " You fags disgust me; it seems like your master was right sending you here. Branding a pedophile like you will be my greatest honor!"

Someone is going to die!

Trying to connect with Lilith, I felt blood trickle down my nose as a soul-crushing pressure assaulted me, wishing to tear me in twain.

"That\'s right, boy! Form here on out; it\'s over for you! You\'re done, boy. we\'re going to fuck the gay out of you."

Is this a straight camp, they still have those? I know I\'m sexy, but what the hell is going on. Seriously!

"That\'s right! I\'ve got a son. If it weren\'t for the rules, I would\'ve killed you, myself. You damn pedo!" A guardsman uttered.

"Welcome to Ares\' Stable House, Slave! We\'re going to treat you right. Get the branding iron!" The Half-dwarf snapped.

Jesus Crest.

Lilith, was this your doing? Too far!

Calmly staring at the muscular tan man, grab a large iron pipe steaming with heat and walked over. I inwardly sneered as he handed it to the half-dwarf.

"We know about your immunity to fire, but this is a special brander. It\'ll make you squeal like a pig. And I know you can scream piggy."

Forsaken Qi erupted the moment the dwarf stepped forward, turning the chains around my arms to ash along with the branding iron in his hand.

Pulling Abyssal Qi from the air, I chanted a levitation spell instantly so as not to fall over and stared at the surprised-looking dwarf.

Creating a sigil using the qi around me, I spoke from my soul, allowing what I was thinking to echo into the material world. "Who the fuck are you, and what is going on?"

"Get me my whip!" The dwarf uttered, and I could almost hear the country accent.

Dear God! Someone actually sent me to a slave farm! FUCK!!!!

I\'ve been to prison, and that was hell! I\'m not interested in being a slave. I\'m way to Boujie. I need showers, I need bitches, and I need everything else. And slaves don\'t get any of that! Unless there good slaves who listen to their master!

I\'d be damn!

Nope!

Nope!

Nope!

Nope!

"Get down here, boy!"

"Nope!"

Glancing around for an exit, I could only frown, noting the formation hidden in the skies suddenly flare to life.

"You\'re a slave now," The Dwarf uttered, in a snap, arching his lips. " Nothing more than the shit on my toilet paper. Your property now, boy!

Someone is dying for this!

"Who are you, and how did I get here?" I said, trying to figure out all that happened.

"You\'ve got some nerves---"

"Master is coming!" A sudden shout howled.

The dwarf\'s expression twisted as he flashed, faster than what I could see, with my damaged body and soul. Pushing my head down to the ground, blood, the color of summer\'s wine, trickled through the snow.

"Discipline this pig!" He uttered as various guardsmen began to pull whips from their spiral rings that instantly turned to ash by my forsaken blood.

"Fuck you all!"

"Ventis," A loving voice remarked, startling me as I looked up at the face of—

Oh shit! I\'m fucked. Did Ezra buy me? FUCK!!!!!

"Master,"

"Is there a problem?" Ezra uttered, but as a person who knows her, I could hear the amusement in her tone.

"No, my lady, we were just—"

"Failing to brand a slave?" She answered for them as her tone turned icy like a flip of a switch. "Why have you not broken his spirit yet?"

"My lady we—"

"He\'s a man! There simple to break."

Shadowstepping out of this fool\'s way and beside Ezra, I glared as I hovered in the skies. " What are you—"

POP!!!!!

I felt something whip across my cheek, shattering all the bones in my face; blood spilled over half my face as I was blasted away.

"Disgusting!"

Refusing to lose consciousness that was slowly filling my sight the moment I crashed, astral force poured into my soul, returning my eyes to me.

But something else had happened. a switch was hit, and my heart turned cold with her strike. I don\'t know why it happened, but I felt like I was back on earth.

Everything just vanished; no more was there useless emotions, only a sense of desire.

I began chanting the Path of Abyssal Night as everything around me began to unfold.
