"NO!" He screamed, his voice was hoarse. "Please don't take them, take me instead."
We watched helpless as his slave dragged the last of our friends away, in chains.
"But then who would I torture little mortal?" The voice was thick and dripping with poison. Evil.
"TORTURE ME!" He screamed. "Do what you want to me but let them go. Please."
"What is this?" The disembodied voice cackled. "A champion of Olympus, begging me for his friends." More cackling.
The red smoke curled at our ankles and the dry air burned our throats. The boy fell to his knees, tears welled up in his eyes but evaporated before they reached his cheeks.
"Please." His voice, barely a whisper.
Cackles were the reply. "I told the son of Jupiter this would happen and so it shall. Won't it servant?"
The slave who was knelt in front of his unseen master nodded. "Yes master. I will ensure it."
The boy stood up and drew a golden sword. He dragged it across the ground as he stalked towards us, his prey, making a scraping sound echo around us.
I limped over to my companion and dragged him off his knees.
"But he has them." He protested.
"I know. But we're in no shape to fight and we need to regroup."
He tried to protest again. "But.."
"We'll be back for her. For all of them. But we need to go."
He nodded. After one last glance into the gloom where they had been taken, we hobbled away, the boy still stalking us.
"No," the voice ordered and his slave stopped. "Let them go. They'll be back with the others and you can slaughter her then."
I felt the slave smile at the prospect of my death at his hands.
"With pleasure."
He sheathed his sword and walked back towards his master.
"You can't escape from me forever," the voice rang out, "I am the embodiment of evil and darkness, lurking around all corners. You'll be back for your friends soon and I will claim you then."
Not while I'm still standing. We will return for our friends. And we will return to destroy the dark entity that took them.
"Until then."
