The attempt at sieging Elusia castle had not gone well. The army supporting The Divine Dragon was unprepared, disorganized, and ultimately lacking in the killer instinct that Elusia was known for. Even with the superior numbers of the 3 combined nations, ome of them being Brodia, the Divine Dragon Army was thoroughly permiated. They retreated while Elusia's army gave chase with the intention of capturing high-ranking officers to use as hostages.

Not all officers were used as hostages, some were treated to more unique humiliations, if they had survived at all. Jade was the most notable of all the captures that the elusians had collected on this very dark day. Etie and Panette would make fine sacrifices to Lord Sombron, before being twisted into corrupted creatures that strike back at their former allies, but Jade, Jade was special. Jade was to be taken to the four hounds themselves. She questioned why she had been given such treatment when she was simply a royal guard from Brodia, but she could tell her strength had something to do with it.

Jade's hands and feet were bound with chains, her head covered by a sack, her body having been stripped of armor and clothing after having been knocked unconscrious by a blow to the helmet, she was lead into a more open area by the minions of sombron. She questioned the concept of the corrupted being intelligent enough to take their enemies alive, but acknowledged there was precedent for it based on all the times she'd seen them operating ballistae. They left her alone, shutting the door behind her as an unseen figure removed the sack from her head. Jade found herself face to face with the worst hound of them all, Zephia. Her horns looked so much bigger up close. Jade could make out the other 3 hounds behind her. Zephia's look was one of confusion, not knowing why they had been brought a toy who's sculpting is not nearly as quality as they had anticipated.

"Ugh. You're not neary as big as they said you were." Zephia sighed.

"Does the size matter?" Griss chimed in.

"Bigger ones can take more punishment." Zephia's words wounded Griss, for he stood at only 5'6, yet considered himself a master of taking punishment.

"We already agreed that we'll go in order of strength right? Weakest gets to go first?" Griss got down to business. "I don't want to be interrupted once i get going." He giggled manically.

"Go ahead, just remember the rules." Marni explained. "Bare hands only, no magic and no weapons, that includes gauntlets."

Jade started to sweat. She could only imagine what her enemies were talking about, they spoke about her like an object, it brought a sense of innocent discomfort in her. Jade was terrified of the unspeakable horrors these brutal savages could commit against her, but she also felt embarrassed at being undressed and presented in front of them. She didn't know these people, she had barely made eye contact with a few of them on the battlefield but they clearly didn't care to remember her, she felt like the daily haul of a gem mine about to be divided by a gathering of nobles.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the impact of a fist against her stomach, a feeling she knew all too well from the early days of her knight's training. Being struck by an enemy was nothing like a training session, it was a sensation that made her blush as well as groan in agony. She bent over in pain, instinctively protecting herself from another blow.

"Oh no you don't." Marni grabbed her by the back of her arms and held her upright, for such a small girl, she was *strong*. "You're going to take these next few blows head-on, it's more fun that way." Marni snickered.

Griss felt a similar pain to Jade's moving through his knuckle. "Damn, that's good." He shook his hand to attempt to regain some of the feeling before winding up for another one. "Zephia seems to have been mislead, the prisoner's tough abs make for a great punch." Jade yelped as Griss delivered another jab. "And those screams! A girl as tough as this still reacts like any other when she gets roughed up." Griss had his fun with blow after blow, carressing Jade's face as he studied her expression after each punch. He mockingly squeezed her cheeks as he looked her in the eye. "Aww, can't take the heat? I'll stop punching you if you beg for it."

Jade's eyes lit up at the proposal. "I surrender!" She said without even thinking about it. "Please don't harm me anymore! I'll do whatever you say... I will co-operate with an interrogation if needed."

"Would you lick my boots if i told you to?" Griss inquired.

"Until they shined."

"That's a good girl." Griss held up his end of the bargain, leaving the defected soldier alone... only because it was no longer his turn to assault her. Zephia had the honor of going after him.

"You know, i'm not as big a fan of the actual torture as i am the idea of it, in practice it just gets really messy without much to gain out of it." Zephia struck Jade across the face with a slap that could be heard from Brodia. "I'm not going to damage my hands by using them to discipline this cretin, it's just not worth it." She walked away having only lightly assaulted the prisoner. Griss had barely gotten his pants off by the time it had been over, he wanted to jerk off to the show. "You make my cock said, Zephia." He snapped at her, she stuck her tongue out at him.

Mauvier didn't want to take his turn, but he knew that all hounds had to participate, it was needed for the glory of elusia, and to assure Sombron's will was being enacted. He followed in Griss' footsteps by smashing Jade's tummy with another blow, then quickly stepping away without a word. His small act of violence was atleast enough to give Griss some fap fuel.

Marni let Jade fall to the floor, limp, lifeless, like she had suffered a terrible wound and was going to be off the battlefield for months. Marni cracked her knuckles. "Get your staff ready, Mauvi, i'm about to do some damage to this bitch." She winded up her arm before socking Jade right in the center of her stomach. Something must've broke, because Jade had never felt pain like this in her entire life, neither lance nor sword compared to this war crime. Marni was decisively pleased with the bruise she had placed upon her prisoner's tummy, noting it's size and dark color as particular points of pride. The scene *really* got Griss going. "Wow! All that with one punch! Am i great or am i greater than great?" Marni jumped for joy.

Her next blow had to be more targeted, since they never wanted to wreck the beautiful appearance of a fine prisoner. She wanted to attack the face in particular so that was a real bummer, all she could get away with was a slap. "Meow! Look at the way her cheeks jiggle when you slap her! I never knew that spankings could be so much more fun when you hit them in the face instead of the ass!" Marni's childlike joy put Griss to shame, her laughter could not be contained, it pierced through Jade's ears like the ringing of a monumental bell. She would never forget that laughter.

Marni's fingers sunk into Jade's luscious locks, a tight pulling sensation lifted Jade off the ground, Marni held her up by her hair. Jade's stomach was met with a knee strike hard enough to send a lesser woman flying, only a well-trained soldier could endure that well enough to only be left with a bruise and a mouth covered in spit. She fell to the floor, devastated, hoping this was all over and she would simply be sent to a prison for the rest of her life, or atleast the war was over but these elusians didn't seem like the type to obey any kind of code of honor. Marni gave her no time to rest, immediately stomping on the spot she had just kicked, this girl wasn't kidding when she stated her intent, Jade had never been put through training this hard and she's from *Brodia*. She walked over the blonde, her surprising weight causing cracks in the floor when it was stacked ontop of Jade's.

Even rest was too much for her, Marni gripped her throat and pulled her back to her feet, the height difference between them made it impossible to hold her off the ground. Jade felt her airway tightening, and her hold on the world lessening as a result. Marni choked her with a hold that was just tight enough to make her feel every single second of the pain as she felt herself slipping away. The world went black before her, her eyes felt like sandbags. "Let's see how long it is before you fade away, you've already lasted longer than most of your kind!". Griss came as he watched Marni's hands take hold of Jade. The pain had gone away, she started to feel nothing, her eyes closed, the last thing she had seen before losing consciousness was the orgasm of one of her tormenters. Jade had learned what happens to those that opposed Sombron's will, one day the rest of Elyos would as well.
