The Desperate Rescue. [In Game]

[Negasonic100]

Zwarr grins as he saw that, looking over to Dirk with a thumbs up. "Good job, Dude." He said as he looked down to make sure if the chains were still anchoring him, "True names suck huh?~ well unless your name is as 'Metal' as mine." He said with a cocky grin. "I'll let Dirk have this one, Dirk order this bitch to release me."

 

[Ecnalab]

Sune would do as commanded, releasing her spell on Zwarr, with a great effort that ultimately proved futile. She then stood back, unable to go against the orders of the one who had brought her under his control.

 

[Kalnath]

It worked? It worked! Akalfa, you’re a genius!

Dirk strode forward more assertively than usual. He wasn't used to giving orders, and having them be obeyed; this was a new experience for him.

“Put your hands up and face the wall, demon. I’ll figure out what to do with you in a moment.” he turned to Zwarr and Valira. “Are you guys all right?”

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira's eyes widened in surprise, her delight at her friends arrival mingling with confusion at Sune's actions. The fact that Dirk could control Sune in such a way was both a relief and a shock. She could sense Akalfa's hand in this, as no disrespect to Dirk, he wasn't exactly the magically inclined sort. The fight was over then. Ishtar was still under Zwarr's spell for the moment, Sune was at their beck and call, the only enemies left were the goblins and the group could take them if push came to shove.

''We are alright, thankfully you arrived just in the nick of time. How exactly are you controlling that demon?''

Valira's knowledge of magic wasn't exactly prodigious either it must be said.

 

[Ecnalab]

Sune would comply, planting her hands on the wall, and Dirk couldn't help but notice, thrusting her ass towards him. "Gah, shackled by a human whelp, this can't be," she groaned.

 

[Negasonic100]

Zwarr gave a thumbs up as he gestured for Ishtar to come over to him, "I'm groovy, now. We got this in the bag now...." He said as he looked toward Sune. "If you want... I can reenforce that control now... since we know her real name, the right song spell and she'd be 'shackled' to us all~" He said getting a semi-mischievous grin. "These bitches thought they could enslave us, maybe we should keep them for awhile as punishment. What's good for the goose and all that~"

 

[Kalnath]

"I have no idea," Dirk whispered to Valira. "Something about demons and real names, but I'm not sure how it works."

He tried not to stare at Sune's... display, though his eyes kept sneaking glimpses despite his efforts.

To Zwarr he replied: "I don't think that's a good idea. I mean - what if they break out of it like you guys did?"

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

''Ah I see, I'm sure Akalfa will be able to explain the process to us both in more detail''

Valira was also doing her best not to stare at the demon, although she was failing just as badly as Dirk.

''I have to agree with Dirk. And even if such a thing is permanent, is it right to enslave them in such a manner? If we do so how are we any better than them? They must be punished, on that we can all agree, but I'm not sure if that is the correct method.''

 

[Negasonic100]

"My spells different. once it's hooked, it's MUCH harder to break. The spell basically shackles the mind... and needs refreshing every 24 hours, but that's easy. Also long term exposure has proven to make it 'longer' between needs to refresh it. but that's like a period of months if not years." He said as he walked over and grabbed his guitar, "Besides if I weave her name into the spell, it'll basically make it 'impossible' to break."

He heard Valira and glared a little, "Think of it this way, under our control we could make them do some good... at least til if or when we drop them with proper authorities..."

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira mulled this over for a second.

''Well that solves one part of the problem, as for the second you raise a valid point. We could put their abilities towards the pursuit of justice and good. However, I sense that's not all they'd be used for and that raises a moral issue.''

Valira let this hang in the air, as she stared at Zwarr, returning his glare slightly.

 

[Negasonic100]

"...Again.. They were going to make us do stuff we didn't want to, punishing them with the same... just fitting 'justice' to me." Zwarr said as he folded his arms, "I'm not above punishing wicked people the same way they'd do to others."

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa felt a great sense of ease with the two of them having made it over before circumstances could escalate. If the Dark Elf didn't feel absolutely dreadful she'd be beaming with pride. Not only had Zwarr and Valira survived the demon's onslaught, but Dirk stepped in just in a nick of time. With no serious injuries to boot! Finally, she could feel somewhat relaxed (as much as her body would let her be) with the true threat being dealt with. At this rate, fighting a dragon seemed like the less daunting task.

Looking towards Sune Akalfa tried to suppress a smirk from forming. So much for being the more powerful sorceress. Though amidst her inward bout of gloating Zwarr's words gave her pause, slightly hesitant at his proposal. Irate and poisoned as she was revenge seemed like a tantalizing prospect. Yet enslaving any being against their will was too harsh, even if her fists clenched in frustration at her current state. A demon would prove a useful ally and Ishtar could be a decent warrior but...

"Wouldn't that make us no better? To be willing to do what they did?" Akalfa said tilting her head towards Zwarr.

 

[Ecnalab]

Ishtar stepped up behind Zwarr and wrapped her arms around his chest, resting her chin on his shoulder. "Hey, don't I get a say in this? I don't mind being put on a leash for a while," she cooed.

 

[Kalnath]

"Pretty sure that's just the mind control talking, lady."

Dirk turned to the goblins still watching them all from the wings and shooed them away. "Grown-ups are talking. Piss off."

He folded his arms and thought about the matter before them. He wasn't comfortable with the idea of keeping them on a leash; but as Zwarr had said: fair was fair, and they had done the same to him...

...And Dirk had also prevented Zwarr from getting some action twice, now. It was starting to make him feel guilty.

"...I think he can keep her - just for a couple days, anyway. After that, once the magic wears off, her punishment's over. If she wants to leave, she can."

He glanced at Sune, brow furrowed, before turning to address Valira and Akalfa.

"That one, I'm inclined to just leave, but it's not my call to make. You're the ones she wronged most, from what I saw, so you get to decide the punishment."

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

''Yes Ishtar, I believe you should stay out of this discussion as you aren't exactly in your right state of mind.''

Valira chuckled slightly at Dirk shooing the goblins away and then thought over his proposal. She wasn't comfortable with the idea for the reasons she had previously stated, and was gratified that Akalfa felt the same, but clearly Zwarr was not going to budge on the issue. Dirk's solution seemed like a fitting compromise, even as Valira still felt uncomfortable about the whole thing.

''Very well I accept that proposal. But we can't just let her go when it wears off. When it does she will be turned over to the proper authorities and that's that.''

Valira said this in a firm voice that brooked no argument, directing most of it towards Zwarr.

''As for Sune that is a good question. I doubt there is a temple nearby that would have the means of banishing such a creature, and we can't exactly expect the mundane authorities to be able to contain her. Akalfa you're our resident expert on magic, what do you suggest we do?''

Valira said all of this in as neutral a tone as possible, even as her anger towards what Sune and what she had done to the two of them made her want to see the demon suffer. She would not allow herself to be ruled by such feelings however, they would decide on a fair and just punishment that befit the crime.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Furrowing her brow Akalfa thought over Valira's question for a good moment. It was a tricky dilemma. She had never been in command of anything of importance, let alone an all-powerful demoness. Seeking to banish her immediately seemed like such a waste of potential and too forgiving for such callous behavior. The bargaining chip of a demon's real name virtually assured complete control. So much good could be done...and menial tasks they themselves did not want to bother with. Making a temporary indebted servant out of a slaver sounded like perfect irony. Perhaps the Great and mighty Sune could even learn a bit of humility and respect for human and elf kind. After all, it was about time someone else learned how it felt to be a second citizen.

"I believe she'd make a decent ally on our quest. Until I research her tome enough to learn how to send her home proper. But first,"

Akalfa turned towards Sune, a glare in her eye.

"I command you Sunelarra, free all of the slaves you've captured. And give them your sincerest apologies, if you would be so kind."
A wry grin shining brightly on her face as she finished her words.

Despite Akalfa's impassioned condition and the rather impressive figure Sune sported, lustful distractions could not set her mind away from enacting a fair punishment. And what more fitting than making her undue all the harm she had caused with her own hands?

 

[Ecnalab]

Sune's eyes glowed brightly for a moment, and she sighed. "There, it's done, all the goblins in this fort, and the bugbears are free to leave," she said, dismissively.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa stared incredulously at Sune, head tilted and confused beyond measure. How anti-climatic! She expected figures running left and right from open cages, cheers of freedom; what was the purpose of having a Breaking Room if they didn't have anyone to break? The place seemed packed with guards as though they had something worth protecting, however, usually her kin's idea of valuables were of the sentient kind.

"Wait...you mean to say we were the first people you managed to capture?"

 

[Ecnalab]

"Well, this is a new outpost, we've been busy building up the troops first," she replied.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa groaned. It was her own fault for making assumptions yet disappointment settled in all the same. It was easing to know no other souls suffered at the hands of Ishtar and Sune, yet If she did not punish the cruel demoness then what lessons would she learn? After everything that woman had put her companions through it would be unfair to simply let her tag along comfortably, not without discipline. And it'd be a lie to say she didn't have a lingering vendetta after being so rudely envenomed. But what form of retribution could be fitting?

Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes tight to focus, thinking through many possibilities yet shrugging them off one by one as either being too intensive or not intensive enough. Nearly about to give up amidst the tiring struggle against her over-aroused mind a sudden idea sparked.

Back at her old base, when Akalfa failed to perform her duties or did so with a lack of satisfaction typically she would be disciplined in the same manner, which she found quite effective. Seeing nothing odd about it, with a sigh Akalfa sat down and patted her lap.

"Come here Sunelarra."
She spoke plainly with an blank stare. As though her request was incredibly mundane. It was a normalcy to her after all. A traditional and brisk punishment. Seemingly too naive to see the oddity or implications of such actions.

 

[Ecnalab]

The demon obeyed, sauntering up to her to stand at attention, her burning eyes curious.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira gleaned Akalfa's meaning immediately. Having a demon on their side would be very useful indeed, and it would probably do the creature some good too. Given enough time, perhaps they could even reform her, even only slightly. Walking a mile in another shoes tended to help immensely with that, and given how arrogant and hateful Sune was, being forced to help beings she saw as inferior would be galling indeed.

''I agree Akalfa, that sounds like a very fitting punishment indeed.''

Valira was equally shocked by Sune's words. She had imagined that this place was filled to the brim with prisoners, and yet the truth was they were the first to suffer its cruelty. That was a relief to be sure, although it did lend an amateurish sort of feel to the proceedings. Still, for what she had done she did deserve to be punished and just as she was mulling that thought over, Akalfa made her order. Valira raised an eyebrow, curious at what Akalfa was going to do to Sune. Despite the fact that she was still suffering under the effects of the poison, Valira trusted that Akalfa knew what she was doing. Whatever she was going to do, she wouldn't go too far. She decided not to ask any questions and just watch for the moment, equally as curious as the demon about to be chastised.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

[I hope my replies don't come across as ignoring Akalfa being poisoned, I am worried I wasn't portraying it properly. If it would be better fitting for her to sit out Sune's punishment do let me know!]

 

[Ecnalab]

[I hope my replies don't come across as ignoring Akalfa being poisoned, I am worried I wasn't portraying it properly. If it would be better fitting for her to sit out Sune's punishment do let me know!]

[You're fine]

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa patted her lap once more. Realizing the demoness didn't immediately glean her meaning she spoke.

"Lay across, right here."
Her expression was blank, completely serious, and her tone neutral. The intent of her punishment becoming clearer by the second. Demon or no Akalfa was unflinching in her words and placid demeanor. Since she wanted to treat everyone as inferior it was only fair she share a common punishment.

 

[Ecnalab]

Sune snorted. "Are you serious?" she said, stifling a giggle.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

"Yes." She stared unblinkingly. Whether the demoness truly took her seriously was irrelevant. It would be satisfying nonetheless to discipline her like the spoiled brat she was. The once powerful demon could scoff all she wanted but the fact of the matter remained, she was being punished by those she looked down upon.

"Though if you find it too childish I could summon a few of your tentacled beasts if you'd prefer. Like you did so to me and my comrade over there." Akalfa turned to Valira and raised her brow.

"What do you think?"

 

[Ecnalab]

"I think you need to re-read the definition of punishment," she replied. "But, if this is what gets your dick hard-" Sune laid down across Akalfa's lap, and even presented her ass, lifting her tail out of the way for her to get a clear shot at the large fuzzy backside.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Valira's eyes widened as she finally gleaned the meaning of Akalfa's actions. Spanking a powerful demon as if they were a misbehaving child was almost comical, yet Akalfa was clearly approaching the task with deadly serious. Valira blushed at the sexual undertones of what was about to transpire, not helped by the sight of Sune's large ass wiggling on Akalfa's lap. As far as punishments went this one was rather tame, but Valira could see the reasoning behind it. It was an attempt to humiliate Sune, as well as assert the groups dominance over her. A sound plan, dampened by the fact that Sune was probably the type to enjoy such things and given her behavior thus far that seemed quite likely.

''Accept your punishment with grace and humility demon, the first of many on your road to reform.''

Valira said this with as much seriousness as she could muster, but even she knew the words seemed a bit silly given the sight before her. Still, she trusted Akalfa and wanted to support her in any way she could Besides, they needed to present a united front to the demon, given that she would now be their charge for the foreseeable future. Silly sounding or no, she had to say something.

 

[OmegaUmbra]

Akalfa groaned, more than a bit miffed at her lack of intimidation. It seemed like the true fact of the matter was she was about as scary as an Almiraj. The demoness's mocking tone only furthering her embarrassment. It's not her fault she wasn't used to being the one dealing out the damage! Nor did she expect that the demoness might like it. Did she have to lift her tail like that?

"Just be quiet and accept your discipline!" She stammered over her words. Why was she the one feeling embarrassed?

Covering her face with a deep blush she cursed under her breath. Evidently hesitant about the hole she had dug for herself turning her gaze away. Her superiors made it look so easy! Valira's words bringing a slight comfort to her wracked nerves. As much as she desired to she couldn't back out now, she'd just look like a scared juvenile. With a shaky palm, she reeled her hand back and slapped it across the demon's backside with as much force as she could muster.
