Cassius swam hard and fast to get to his people's home deep in the ocean. The underwater city was beautiful, he had to admit that much as he approached it. He was met at the city's edge by minor guards and allowed them to escort him to his father, glaring at the male across the throne room.
"So, you've finally returned to us after so many invitations, Cassius," said the large mermaid with the crown threaded through his golden locks.
Cassius simply raised one eyebrow as he crossed his arms across his chest, "You didn't give much choice when you sent a human to threaten my mate. We are soul-bound and there is nothing you can do to break it. So call the freak off. He's a mage who has been killing off thousands in his lust for power. Do you really think he'll leave the mermaids alone in this?" he demanded, ignoring it when the guards hissed at him for his lack of respect.
His father narrowed his eyes at him in anger, "You bound yourself to him when you knew your responsibilities here? You fool!" he grated out, his anger causing the water around them to swirl angrily for a few moments. Then it calmed just as fast as it had begun and he gave Cassius a grin, "Very well... I will abide by your wishes provided that you do your duty, here and now," he said simply and gestured to the side where a lovely female swam forward with her head down respectfully.
Cassius grated his teeth over it but knew it had to be done and glared at his father again, "Your word, father, that if I do this, you will remove the powers you've given the human and cut him off, even give me your aid in destroying him. Your word on it or you will get nothing from me," he demanded, knowing that if he gained that much he'd have a chance.
His father grated his own teeth over it but gave in with a nod, "I give my word as king of the mermaids and the oceans that all you ask for will be given and we will leave you in peace from here forward," he conceded.
Cassius gave a nod then and moved to draw the female into a different room to do what he had to do, silently begging Kota to forgive him.

After a little while of being left alone, Dancer finally started to wake up, giving a pained groan as he lifted one hand to the back of his head where he'd been hit. But he froze when he heard the slight rattle of the chains and opened his eyes in shock as he found himself not only chained, but nude and collared. He sat up quickly despite the pain in his head and scooted to put his back against the stone wall at the back of the alcove he was in as panic flared inside of him. He instantly tried to shift but felt pain, sharp and intense, move through his body as the collar prevented it, making him give a soft cry of pain from it.
When he recovered from it, he was able to feel something that couldn't be taken away from him and felt silent tears start to roll down his face as he heard Michael's beautiful voice in his head, 'Michael!' he cried out mentally, instantly seeking the comfort of his mate and lover, not bothering to hide his fear in this moment. He found himself shaking from pure fear, knowing exactly why he'd been taken this time... |

Darsto_23 Andy, Michael and Valick listened carefully to what Desha showed them. Once he was done Michael was about to speak but stopped as his eyes went a bit wide hearing his love frightened in his head as he has awaken. "Dancer! Hang in there my love just stay calm ok? We know where you are, we are coming for you. Just hang in there" Michael calls back to him as it felt so good to hear his voice. Andy smiled a little as he looked at his brother hearing them talk "Dancer is awake" Andy tells Desha and with Andy being connected to Michael he can hear Dancer speak with how open Michael is keeping his mind right now. Andy then dose the same for Desha just to let him hear his sons voice and he could talk back if Dancer kept his mind fully open like Michaels. Valick softly looked at them as they were all quite, he then looks back at the map knowing he can't hear what's going on as they all were connected.
Dancer cried a bit harder but still silently as he heard Michael's words. He raised his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them as he shook, doing his best to calm down but knowing it was impossible right now. He did take hope that they knew where he was and were coming for him, but could only hope that they'd come before anything happened to him.
'I'll try Michael, but I have to admit that I'm afraid, terrified actually. They're slavers. And they've got a collar on me that's blocking my magic and won't let me shift,' he admitted in a softer mind-voice, not bothering to hide how afraid he was.
But he didn't tell him that he didn't even have a blanket to cover himself. Normally, he didn't mind nudity or even pay attention to it. But this time... This time was different...
Right now he was just doing his best not to be noticed by the lizard-men he could see moving around the main part of the cavern, huddling as far back in the alcove as he could get. The pain from his head wasn't helping matters either... |

Darsto_23 Michael looked over to Desha with a face that he did not like having to say that but he understood why he should, He took in a deep breath closing his eyes and worked on connecting to Dancer to calm his nerves for him to keep him calm with him as Michael tried to keep his anger down and hidden from Dancer to help keep him calm. "I know you are scared Dancer, but I am here and I am not going anywhere. Remember that I said I will always be at your side no matter what. I will come for you, I promise you that. As much as I hate to say this my dear Dancer if they start to do anything or ask anything of you please just go with it, cooperate with them so you are less harmed by them ok? Can you do that for me love?" Michael says in a softly cool tone to keep his calm.
Dancer closed his eyes tightly when he heard those words but knew he had no real choice. A few more tears fell from his closed eyes and he wiped them away, 'I'll do my best, Michael,' he promised softly.
He would have said more but he heard something that had his eyes snapping open and he saw one of the lizard men standing in front of his alcove. He knew he didn't dare close his connection to Michael, didn't dare lose the voice that was keeping him sane right now. But he did wish that could spare his lover the feeling of revulsion that moved through him when those cold eyes moved over him hungrily.
He couldn't tell if the lizard thought him a food meal or was considering him for something else entirely. Either way, he couldn't help but shiver in pure terror while he was watched. He breathed a soft sigh of relief when the lizard simply moved on, then shook even more when he heard the lizard move to 'using' a female just a few alcoves down. The sounds seemed to echo in the cavern, driving home to him what his situation was... |

It all seemed to happen at the same time. Michael's voice in his mind disappeared almost at the same moment that that tentacle of shadow touched him. The feelings it invoked in him so intense that he couldn't even cry out from it all.
When it finally left him, he could feel what it had taken from him and his mind let out a sharp cry that was filled with utter pain and despair. He knew in that moment that he likely wouldn't leave the cave alive, that Michael wouldn't be able to get to him in time to save him.
He slid over to lay on his side, tightly curled into himself as he shivered uncontrollably, 'I love you Michael... I'm sorry...' was his last thought as he closed his eyes tightly against everything he could see, wanting nothing more in this moment than to simply retreat deeply into his mind where that thing couldn't touch him again...
He knew that whatever that thing had done to him was only a taste of what it could do and dreaded what it would do to him next. He knew in this moment that he couldn't face whatever commanded that shadow, he would have faced anything else but that rape of his soul and his magic.
He just knew, deep inside of himself, that he'd never see his home again, never see his father again, never be able to give Michael another kiss or see that loving look in his beautiful blue eyes again. After that shadow's touch left him, he could only feel the despair and fear it left in its wake. After that horrendous voice faded, he could only hear the harsh and frenzied beating of his own heart as it took his hope with it.
He'd totally missed the earlier words spoken that indicated that someone else had already paid for him and was even now coming to collect him. Even now, though, some tiny spark in him, a small piece of his soul, tried to reach out to the only one he knew who could help him. But it couldn't get past the despair and fear that voice and that dark touch had instilled within him, couldn't reach Michael past it. No, he simply curled up even tighter and waited for whatever his new fate was to be, fully expecting it to be his death...
((Had to add a little bit more to clarify it a bit for ya.)) |

A soft murmuring drifted down the hallway. A large group of buyers had arrived and were slowly making their way down the selection of captured slaves.
The woman who had died before had been replaced with a fresh faced young girl, no one the wiser. The lizard creatures were no where to be found presumably hiding as to not repulse the buyers. Even the mysterious shadow creature was silent.
The group arrived in front of Dancer and some of them poke him and stretched his arms and feet.
"Wow, a very handsome man, I know he would be a great addition to my harem. None of the boys at home could compete with this." She giggles like a snake.
"Hmm, this is a fine specimen, wish we could afford him. I hear he isnt for sale." A man grumped.
Another buyer spoke up. "I hear he is a shifter, but that Lord Memphis has something special planned. I cant wait to get out of here, he gives me the creeps."
A collective shiver ran across the group at Memphis's name and they made their way back down the hall. As per the ritual of buying, the group wrote down what cells they wanted of slaves then left the money on a very clean wooden table, knowing their purchases would be delivered promptly. |
