Legends of Amacia Rise of the Caverias
Chapter 43: 'Someone snitched on us.'

Meanwhile, Nemesis paid a special visit to the Harem to check on Myra, Izanami, and the other women. As he stepped out of the secret panel, he found them all bound and chained hand and foot. When Nemesis saw Izanami, Myra, Tasha, Jennifer, Sakura, Jasmine, Hitomi, Trinity, and Lola chained to the pillars hanging from their fetters so they could not sit down, it kindled his rage. Furthermore, he noticed Izanami, Myra, Tasha, Sakura, Jasmine, and Hitomi showed signs of being severely beaten and violated, much more so than the other chained women. Whispers began to echo around the Harem. “Nemesis has returned,” they whispered. “He’ll do something about this.”

When Nemesis’ eyes fell upon those chained to the pillars, his anger flared. In seconds, he arrived at the pillar, examining them for injuries. They had no broken bones, but their flesh was beaten severely and ravished. Their faces were swollen and bruised badly. Blood dripped from their noses and the corners of their mouths with their eyes almost swollen shut from the brutal assault. The rest of their bodies exhibited the same evidence of beating with deep bruises and oozing cuts. Izanami, Myra, Tasha, Jennifer, Sakura, Jasmine, and Hitomi dangled from their fetters barely conscious and unable to speak. Turning to Trinity, who hung bound next to them, but not tortured nearly to the extent they were, Nemesis asked pointedly, “Trinity. What has happened here?”

“Someone snitched on us,” Trinity whispered. “They found out Izanami, Myra, Sakura, Jasmine, Hitomi, Jennifer, and Tasha were apparently responsible for spreading the rumor that Hanna was coming back. The Emperor is in a fury. He sicked his pet snake on them and had the rest of us chained like animals. We have been this way for a day and a half. We haven’t been allowed to eat or drink anything since we were chained. He means to find out where the leak is.”

Just then, Myra moaned, “Get away, Nemesis. Ahriaman is watching this place. Get out of here before it’s too late.” Moments later, Nemesis’ keen cybernetic hearing heard the clamor of armored footsteps outside the door. “Go, please,” Myra begged. “Don’t let them catch you here.”

Nemesis became torn about what to do. He looked her in the face, saying as the soldiers marched toward the door, “Don’t give up now, little sister. Hanna’s coming much sooner than you think.”

Myra smiled slightly, whispering, “Go now, before they get you.”

Nemesis briefly touched her bruised and battered face with his organic hand, saying, “We will come for you.” At that, he darted like a cat into the secret panel, shutting it as the door clanged open and thirty soldiers rushed in time to see the panel closing. They ran and tried to open the panel with no success.

The lieutenant swore, saying, “Damnation. We almost had him. Ahriaman is not going to like this at all.” He motioned for the squad to leave, which they did, except for his corporal and a couple of guards. They approached Myra and demanded, “Who was it, bitch?” She kept silent and the lieutenant pummeled her several times in the head with his fist, drawing blood. “Answer me, bitch!” he bellowed. She refused to speak or even cry out. This enraged him further. Turning to the others, he shouted, “Shall we make yet another example? You bitches had better loosen your tongues or else. Corporal, lash her to the pillar for all to see.” The corporal motioned for two of the guards to come forward. Between the three of them, they hung Myra by her fetters on the pillar four feet off the floor with her arms and legs pulled back around the curve of the pillar and a leather strap around her belly pinning her to the pillar. “Now hang there until you’re willing to talk,” the lieutenant hissed evilly. Then to the rest of the women, he growled, “Look long and well. For each one of you will get the same treatment if you don’t tell us who is coming in here.” He turned and stormed out of the Harem with his corporal and the two guards. Myra groaned with the pain of being hung there. “Please come quickly, sister,” she whispered with growing pain. “Deliver us out of our day of peril.”
