*Ashur* - sex I found Merna wandering the halls, she appeared to be in a trance. ‘What are you up to, little hybrid?’ It was not a secret, no one trusted this Hybrid, what was boggling was our father’s fascination with this human born. Even the serfs could not stand the sight of this hybrid, no one could figure out what made her special. That is when I saw it summon fire, it danced around her body as if it was making out with her. Soon the other elements were summoned. ‘So you are more like us?’ I said to it. The startled look was amusing to me, I had a devilish grin on my face. With a snap of her fingers, the summoning was tucked away out of sight. Now I understood what my father's fascination was when it came to this hybrid. She was more like us than my siblings and I believed. What I found astonishing was how she was quick to hide her power as if it were the biggest secret of the century. ‘Mages can not summon the elements at will like Merna. Sorceresses can but that takes decades of training, at least this is what I understand of their species.’ I thought to myself. Her eyes were glowing blue replacing her emerald eyes. ‘Does she even know that her eyes are glowing?’ I thought to myself. A well-trained sorceress wouldn’t let this aspect show, then again she thought she had privacy in this section of my father's domain. To be honest, no one came here anymore, the oldest parts. It was crumbling due to the lack of care. So if I were someone who had too much freedom, I would come here as well. I intended to interrogate the hybrid without it being noticeable. I started to push my mind into her will, allowing her to be more free with her words. ‘She doesn’t even know … her mother won't tell her … what is father thinking?’ I listened to the hybrid ramble on not even registering what I was doing. Getting closer to her, that is when I noticed that even though the light was shimmering off of her exposed skin, her eyes were absorbing the light. I sniffed the air around her, something was off about her, and there was something that did not make sense to me. I leaned into her, and from her mouth, she gasped ‘What was that all about?’ ‘For once it is nice not to be able to hear your deepest thoughts or see what your future holds. Sometimes … sometimes it is a bitch to know when someone is going to die. Know that they are cheating on someone. You know shit like that. When it comes to you, there is only a void of darkness.’ My original plan was slowly slipping when she placed her lips on mine. In my mind, I saw intense blue flames. I could feel under my hand sparks of energy, bidding me to get closer to this female. “I can taste your power, but I can not read your mind! How exciting!” She was excited as if her abilities were a burden to her existence. I started to unfasten the corset. I could smell her arousal, the closeness of our bodies made my organs twitch, lifting the hem of her dress, I pressed her back up against the wall. Lifting her dress over her head, I toasted it to the ground. Placing her arms around my neck I started to pound into her savagely. Her breasts jiggled around when I lifted her up and down, sliding perfectly around my manhood. We were both breathing heavily when I placed her feet on the floor spinning around ready to take her from behind. With no mercy, I took what I desired at that moment. Digging my nails into her flesh, blood started to go down her legs. “You better clean up your mess before you are finished!” She was glancing down at the blood that was dripping closer to her knee. I had never had anyone speak to me like this before. Most of the victims had screamed at me to stop, that I was hurting them. Here this hybrid is telling me that I better clean up my mess. I wanted to test my theory! Pulling out of her, I pulled her to the ground, giving me more balance to take my tongue and lick the blood off her body. She shivered instead of freaking out. Licking up to the wounds I picked out what blood I would get from each wound. With my saliva I closed the cut, healing what evidence was there. Doing the same to the other side, she shivered with the corners of her lips turning up. “You're a masochist!” I had a devilish grin on my face. She was breathing heavily, “Problem?” “I hope my father has plans on sharing you with everyone … This could be fun!” I had a wicked grin. She grabbed my head, leading me up her body, “I am in the mood to play, so stop playing nice and get to work!” She dove her tongue into my mouth. I bit down on her lip causing her arousal to grow. Sucking on her lip devouring the blood, allowing it to slide down my throat. I never thought that someone speaking to me like that would turn me on, this hybrid, Merna, was starting to make me question even my sanity. “By the time I finish you, you will not be walking straight!”“do not make promises that you can’t keep!” The glare in her eyes told me not to disappoint and keep my promise. I have always been good with my words and had no plans on backing down now. *Master* I might have thrust myself into Puabi harder than usual but I was frustrated and she happened to be the one that I was taking everything out on. Here we share everything, except my law and order. My jealousy was getting the better of me, maybe Puabi was right when she suggested that I get my sexual frustration over with and call Merna to my bed. It would be one way to dominate her. Yet something told me she would fight to have control. Nothing about her told me that she would just lay there and be a pincushion. “You need her!” Puabi finally said once she dressed me. “I do not!” I was sure of myself. “Tell me Chaos … the whole time you were drilling into me, how many times did you see a red-haired female?” Puabi glared at me again with her knowing sight. “I have no idea what you are talking about?” I was denying everything that I was feeling in my eternal body. “Everyone knows! You have not ordered for her hair to be removed, yet every slave that comes here is degraded!” Puabi started to dress herself, “with or without eating!” She added to her statement. “Have you seen the other side of that woman?” I was glad I was able to finally unload my frustration. “That is what I mean! You see her more as an equal of sorts, yet … There is something about her that is amiss, everyone knows it. None of us understand what it is that she is, but it is more than her being a hybrid … consort … or even human born. Just like you she demands respect. She may not say it out loud but her actions demand it. There is only one other that displays such power. My dear king ...” Puabi stopped talking as if she felt like she could step over the invisible boundary. “Puabi there is only one that can speak so boldly with me, speak plainly!” I gave her a way to talk freely. She sighed, “I have never been given the right to consort,” Puabi pointed out. I was starting to get frustrated with her, “Speak now!” “Everyone knows that there is something different about Merna. Some fear her yet she has not given them reason to fear. Your offspring know that she is dangerous. We just do not understand why you play these games with Merna. Your fascination with her is a game, lust or perhaps a chosen mate?” I smirked, “I thought you had a soft spot for weak human borns!” “I do … for a chosen few … Merna scares me! I feel like she is not who she claims to be. Then I also see how you stare at her … I see it! Chaos I think you love her! You may not admit it but you do, no one has ever spoken to you boldly in the presence of others or where someone may hear a conversation. But most of all she scares us, there is something about her … I just do not know what it is!” “What scares you?” I wanted to know. Puabi sometimes saw things from a different angle that brought light to the situation. “There is something dark inside of her that … I do not know! It is something that tells me not to upset her.” Puabi was finally dressed. Lifting her chin with my hand, “She is Pinapancam’s daughter!” “Merna?” Puabi paused, “I thought she was only protected by the mother of all mothers?” “Yes!” I released her, “she is protected and is my sister's creation. Making Merna her daughter!” “That explains everything!” Puabi sat on the edge of my bed. “What are you going to do?” “Nothing right now! And if you tell anyone, I will cut out your tongue and torture you before I allow death to take you from your offspring!” I gave her a heavy warning. “You might have a problem! Your offspring are trying to figure out who Merna is. They fully believe that Merna is going to destroy you. And you know what they are like, they will stop at nothing until they get what they want.” I glared down at Puabi who had her head held down, “I will deal with this myself!” I turned my back and headed towards the door, “go back to your little pet!” *Pierre* ‘’How tired are you?” Sadragon asked as I strolled into our domain. “It was more of a challenge than I had thought it to be. I enjoy myself immensely.” I grabbed Sadragon and brought him closer to my body. “I have to report to Wematin next shift. I will be given my first assignment, I just do not know what that entails.” “No one knows what will be going on until the time comes.” Sadragon started to rub his hands all over my body. “You will not even know how long you will be gone.” Sadragon frowned, “you are going to have to watch your back when you are out there. Word has already spread of your promotion. If one of them should try anything …” Sadragon's mind started to wonder.“You have nothing to worry about, I will be coming back to you in no time!” I tried to reassure him. Stating, “Wematin will inform you about everything that you will need but I will give you my supplies, it is specialized!” Sadragon seemed to know something that he was not telling me. “What if you need it?” I had already known that Sadragon had been classified as the head of the assassins. Sadragon shook his head back and forth, “I am training block heads to do a task that you are a natural at. Besides, I know you have more enemies with faces you do not know what they look like. I would prefer to make up another bag before allowing you to take what is supplied to you.” “Do you think someone would sabotage me?” I smiled at the knowledge that he was willing to give me his supplies because he thought the weapons given to me would be sabotaged. “Most definitely! If, and I am not joking, if a hunter comes at you while you are on the field, kill them. It has happened before in the past. And most of all if you are captured, kill yourself at first chance.” Sadragon started to give me a list of things to look out for. I raised a brow. “Either side we are cruel to our captives, we make our captives beg for their life before we extract all information out of them.” Sadragon paused for a while, “this is why I find it odd that they are sending you out so early. All of us are placed through a pain endurance test. To see if we can keep our mouths shut.” “You were there for my punishment, what makes you think I would place you or Merna in danger? I will die before disappointing either of you.” All of a sudden Sadragon had a guilty look across his face. “What is wrong?” Sadragon forced a smile on his face, “it is nothing!”
