Mahnu, An Immortal's Journey

CHAPTER 18

With the continuous ache all around her body, Mahnu tried not to fall unconscious again. Her fingers, arms, toes, feet and legs were all broken and being pulled away from her body, so that she couldn't heal herself.

They had tortured her so much that even her clothes had been shredded and fallen, leaving her naked.

Dried blood nearly covered her entire body and new blood was falling to the already red floor of the small room, making the place feel extremely forbidden and scary.

Being able to read their thoughts, answers were found, and Mahnu couldn't help but be resigned to this state.

Thelmos and Eliza had been here all this time...How could I have not known that?

Both of them had stayed behind, when all the others had gone to war, and Mahnu could figure out why...Thelmos would have been too lazy and Eliza might have found...Better things to do.

Another thing Mahnu had found out, was that the tablet wasn't with them, so they still didn't know where The Chest of the God's was hidden.

It was really unbelievable that they had been happy here in Bracken for quite some time. Even though they hadn't always been here, but they...Do nothing...Wherever they are.

They had no want to take over the world, just slight revenge for the elimination of their kin. They didn't want much, well, besides that of Eliza's handsome young males and normal servants to serve them.

They had brought people here from other places, holding beauty matches for males, that Eliza would love to judge and Thelmos would just tag along, mostly because Eliza would drag him along.

They had the strangest type of relationship...

For the most part, Eliza can handle Thelmos, but...If Thelmos wasn't so lazy, he would have most likely left Eliza a long time ago!

He had a strange, innocent and childish type of behaviour, and Eliza was something he didn't seem to agree with...

Eliza seemed to think that Thelmos's aura of 'goodness' wrapped around her and made her feel good, and in so doing, she felt like even more the appropriate God. Perhaps she did have some sort of self-conscious inside her that she thought she was doing something bad, and Thelmos seemed to equalize that feeling.

Mahnu couldn't understand it at all! Perhaps it had something to do with the men disappearing...That perhaps if she had no men, she would have no fun...Any other idea that Mahnu came up with didn't seem to match Eliza and why she would potentially feel that way...

Since both of them were rather lazy, they had taken a full year to travel, back when they had moved towns about two hundred years ago. They stopped often, even though they didn't have their feet on the ground...

Besides that, they would spend many days just listening to music, dancing, drinking and having other types of 'fun'...

...It was actually something Mahnu found herself jealous of...That they had each other, whereas, she hadn't had anybody...

It was made quite obvious that Thelmos and Eliza weren't going to stop slavery and work with the humans. They fully believed that they could do whatever they wanted with the humans and had even slaughtered a few in 'fun' in the past as well. Eliza cared mostly for sex, nothing close to worrying for humans, and Thelmos slept a lot, laying down and day dreaming...In fact, Eliza had done much flirting, and more, with Thelmos, perhaps giving him that more initiative to stay with her and have no eyes for anything else...Mahnu didn't look much further into their thoughts upon that...Seeing Eliza go crazy, to the point of not caring to hurt the person that she was being intimate too, made Mahnu cringe and wish to be elsewhere...
