| Day 10
It certainly wasn't Krull. When we
stopped where he said we were supposed to rendezvous with the others, he
put some sort of spell on me. I couldn't do anything of my own free will.
He just looked at me and said "Sleep". The next thing I remember
is waking upon a velvet chase in a large circular stone room. There were
no windows, no doors so I have NO idea how we got in. I was still at his
bidding. Not being in control of your own body is so confining, it's still
only slightly worse than being trapped in this well furnished cell. There
are tapestries on the walls, and one that partitions the privy. After a
while I felt the spell wearing off, and he tried to put me under it again,
but I was resolved against it. Even though he was polite, and stood on etiquette,
I couldn't take it anymore. I asked for Elonah to help me. I tried to turn
the stones and mortar into sand and mud, but the room was enchanted
against such things. I even tried to look for the smallest crack in the
ceiling, but to no avail. My captor simply watched and talked to me of
many things. He kept trying to convince me to "Merge" with him.
Something about leaving my friends and family behind to go with him and
his master. I don't really understand what he was talking about, even
though it sounded a lot like marriage, I know it's not what he meant. He
is very courteous and kind, except for the whole not letting me go
part. I'm
back. I had a bit of a break down there. I ran across the room and tore
down one of the tapestries and began screaming to be let out. I tried to
dig through the walls with my bare hands even though I knew it wouldn't
work. My captor pulled me away and I lunged at him, but he easily pulled
me off of him. He gasped when he saw my bloody hands and I just began
crying in a heap. He must be afraid of blood. I was able to heal them even
through my tears. Then I composed myself. I asked him if he wished to hear
a tale. He acquiesced, and I told him everything that had happened. Then I
left him with a single statement. I told him the truth. |
