Chapter 11: The Highlord Camp

Nightbreeze's PoV

The two Dark Knights walk me back to there camp with their knives at my throat. I look around and I see all the Knights coming over to see me. I start counting the number of men they have. Their leader comes over to me and in a demanding voice says “Tell me your plans. What is the army going to do against us?”

I don't say anything. I glare at him even though I can't see his face. He is wearing his full armor. He asks again “What are your plans.”

I tell him in Kagonesti “I won't ever tell you anything.”

Him and his men all are confused on what I said. He tells his men to bring me to the interrogator while he storms off. I keep counting the number of men and I start to see Ogres and Draconians. One of his men tells me “Look around all you want. You will never escape.” We keep walking until we get to a tent. They push me inside than chain me to a chair. They leave and a few minutes later the interrogator comes in. He is tall, long black hair, green eyes, dark clothes. He is carrying a bag. He sets it down and starts to take out different knives and weapons. He smiles a mischievous smile and asks “What are your plans?”

I glare at him but don't say anything. He asks again “What are your plans?”

I still don't say anything and I keep glaring at him. 

“Good. I get to have some fun with you.”

He grabs a knife and walks over to me. He cuts into both of my arms. Deep enough to make it hurt but not enough to break anything. But I don't feel it cut me. But I make my face look like I'm in pain. I don't want him to know it won't hurt if he keeps cutting into my arms. 

“You know I would love to hear you scream. It is allowed. Or do Elves not scream?”

He looks at my arms and sees my body paint. He looks closer and sees that some of my body paint is covering up some cuts from a few days ago. I had bandages on my arms but not for very long. Nava wanted me to keep the bandages on but I didn't listen to her. I am Kagonesti and we put body paint on our arms and legs in different designs. And face paint in different designs on our face. I didn't want to have a little bit of body paint on my arms. I didn't listen to her. Maybe I should start to listen to her first before I decide to do something on my own. I have been used to being by myself for a long time. Being in a group can really help me get used to being free. After he cuts where my sword injuries are he says “I'm going to get my servants to clean off all your face paint. I want to see what other previous injuries you have.” He leaves and some servants rush in and start washing off my body and face paint. My braid I had in my hair is coming out and making my hair a mess. When they finish they rush out and the interrogator comes back in. He cuts my skin and injuries me when I don't answer his questions. He tells me “You have a lot of scars on your arms. Do you have them anywhere else? If you won't answer than maybe I should look myself." 

I'm getting badly injured that I am starting to feel the pain. It hurts so much and I'm bleeding really badly. But I'm not going to scream or cry out in pain. I won't let him get what he wants. Since he isn't having any success someone in a gray robe comes in. He is not a Wizard that got magic from the good magic, neutral magic, or evil magic gods. He got it himself with magical artifacts. It's hard to do it but he did. He starts messing with my head and messing around with my memories. My head is killing me and I am badly bleeding. Eventually they unchain me from the chair and shove me onto a makeshift bed on the floor. I fall asleep, exhausted from everything they have been doing to me. I wake up when I feel a spear being poked into my arm. They force me to get up and shove me outside. My arms and legs are still in chains and that makes it harder to move. My head is pounding and I am still losing a lot of blood. All the Dark Knights, Ogres, and Draconians gather around me and their leader. He says “Tell me what you know. If not I will kill you.”

The interrogator says “Give me some more time and I can get information out of her.”

“If she survives however long I try to kill her you can get more information out of her and be in charge of her as a slave. If she dies than she dies.”

He pulls out his sword and comes right at me. I dodge out of the way. He keeps coming at me and I move out of the way. The chains help some to keep him from getting me. Suddenly he makes a move I didn't expect to happen. He gets his sword into my stomach and I pull back right after that. I'm losing a lot of blood. He is about to strike a killing blow when he suddenly stops when there's all kinds of random bird calls. The Highlord army quickly get ready to fight and forget about me. I'm so exhausted that I collapse on the ground and I start slowly losing consciousness.
