Random Drabbles

Banned (5/8)

Virgil wakes up early. He lays in bed for a while, contemplating his life for way too long. Finally, he sighs and leaves the warm and kind of soft comfort of his bed.

He stretches and finally stands up, walking to the mirror. He throws on a dark purple lightweight shirt and some black pants. On top of that, he throws on a scarlet red velvet robe and a scarlet hat with the zodiac symbols falling off the edge connected by silver chains. The man spent quite a bit of time making that hat, so he was incredibly proud of it and wanted to be careful with it. Last, the man puts on black fingerless gloves and a pair of old black boots.

He heads to his kitchen and looks through his almost barren fridge. He decides that he wants to make an omelet and grabs a few eggs. Once that starts going, he grabs vegetables and some fresh venison. He throws everything together and quickly eats it.

Virgil hears horse hoofs then light tapping against his door. He goes over to the door and opens it, seeing someone on a horse with another one behind him.

"Prince Logan sent for me to bring you to this house." He tells the witch.

"Alright. Do I have to pay anything?"

"No, the prince already paid for you."

Virgil nods and thanks the man. He gets on the horse standing behind the one the man is on, not minding the missing saddle of the horse and takes off after the man in front of him. Usually the witch isn't invited to the town centre because people think that he's going to cause a lifetime of nightmares and darkness. They seem to think that he is going to curse the person being punished so they don't feel pain.

He'd never do that....

He'd just make the pain worse.

Virgil snickers at the thought of making the pain worse. Soon, he and the man arrive at the town centre. Virgil puts his horse to a stop and hands the horse off to a horsekeeper nearby. He then walks around until he sees Logan, which honestly isn't hard seeing as he is incredibly tall and no one else is in the area.

"Hello Virgil." Logan nods towards him as soon as he sees Virgil, "Where is Patton?"

"He should be here soon." Right as Virgil says that, galloping horses come into view, slowly coming to a stop. Patton gets off his horse and hands it off to the horsekeeper as well. The healer then walks over to Logan and Virgil.

"I have decided that you two will get to choose how they will be punished." Logan says after Patton is next to them. The other two men share a look. Patton always enjoyed the more simplistic punishments because he wasn't fond of torture but Virgil always wanted to see a certain one.

Logan slightly pales at the look exchanged, "So, what do you want to do to them?"

Virgil looks back to him, "Just the simple pillory."

The prince nods, "Anything else or just that?"

"Just that." Patton smiles, "I don't like worse punishments." Logan nods.

"Will do. I shall find one of the punishers and inform them of what to do?" The prince says, turning around to walk off.

"Wait!" Virgil calls and Logan turns to him, "Can you also do a flogging for Phillip?" Logan smiles and nods, turning back around and walking away.

"Are you excited kiddo? Your first punishment!" Patton cheers, clapping his hands like a young child.

"Indeed I am. But, I still wish I could go to the tradition route back at home. Cause endless and unbearable amounts of pain to them using potions and curses. They won't know what hit them." Virgil smiles wickedly. Patton randomly pulls the man into a hug.
