Sarai
Part 11: Devonix
Today I spoke to Devonix the Torian who makes slaves into statues...for some reason
Devonix “Well my dear what is it you would wish to know about me.? " He would fold his wings about him and looked at me from the corner of his eye. "Before I utterly devoure you. "
sarai{Ehl} tilted my head slowly, pen tapping on the page, "well...who are you Sir, what are you, where do you come from, that sort of thing"
Devonix “Ahh My I am Devonix Relecon Varent, a forest guardian from the far distant north and currently a member of the Crimea empire there.”
sarai{Ehl} I nodded slowly, writing this down, "Crimea empire? What’s that?"
Devonix he would grumble a bit thinking of it and then speak out. " A collection of Torian warlords gathered under a single clan chief to optimize their power. Now they settle in various castles spotted far from here in the mountains.”
sarai{Ehl} “why?”
Devonix “Why do they work together?”
sarai{Ehl} “why anything?...why together, why in castles...”
Devonix “That is something I will be finding out as I spend more time with them. I was not raised by them and knew little but what my fugetive parents told me of them.”
sarai{Ehl} “erm...ok...anything else Sir?”
Devonix “Well I am somewhat of an artist in these lands ,a workers of wood and of people”
sarai{Ehl} “people?”
Devonix “Slaves in particular I work at finding the proper ways to display there charms and show them the truth about themselves, who and what they are.”
sarai{Ehl} I nodded slowly, tilting my head as I wrote, "so Sir works at the academy?"
Devonix “I used to but due to an error with the r egistrar my empoyment was terminated. But there are many uncollared slaves who still need firm teaching hands, and good lengths of rope.”
Devonix “Why I am just now working on an art show to display my woodworking skills as well as my skill with the working of slaves. it will take some time to finish all of the statues though.”
sarai{Ehl} “oh..so you turned slaves into statues?" I mewed as I wrote.
Devonix smiling as he would think upon it and his most recently finished one. A purr leaving his throat. “Yes though not all of them, It is a search to discover what each slave best represents. One I have bound and held in the arms of a statue impaled upon the member and suspended in the air. Another little flower of a slave could be rooted in the earth with vines surrounding her painted flesh. You... “He smiles.” You I would have to give special consideration”
sarai{Ehl} I blinked, "such as...and wouldn’t that hurt. Being impaled?"
Devonix chuckling softly and then moving forward he would bring his right wing to stroke back and forth between my legs. “Not if this is where you were impaled by a leather covered wooden cock.”
Devonix “And you my dear as thanks for being the first I mated with after coming to these lands well lets say that your mistress would find you so very lovely trapped within it. If you gain her permission then I might tell you.”
sarai{Ehl} I trembled, fingers running over the silver ring I wore on my left hand, blinking up slowly before nodding silently
Devonix “Though I have learned that one must be careful as many many within these lands cannot be trusted, and there are those with no respect for the relationship”
sarai{Ehl} “relationship Sir?”
Devonix “The bond between master and slave. There are few things more special.”
sarai{Ehl} I nodded slowly "well Ive been in my Misstresss collar for over two years now Sir...erm..had a bad experience?"
Devonix “two..”
sarai{Ehl} “two?”
Devonix “When I was young my parents were killed by an extermination squad sent to punish my father for sparing some of my mother's village. I survived but was captured by a tribe of Catfolk who used me to practice sexual torment. Far less than a slave at that point with no thing proper.”
sarai{Ehl} I blinked slowly, then nodded, "erm....alright..."
Devonix “The mental torments and conditioning to work with and as a slave were more difficult. to overcome it was not who I was and such a thing was not recognized for I was not recognized as for the other a loveslave stolen from me by one most unworthy.”
sarai{Ehl} I scratched my head slowly, nodding lightly.
Devonix “Anything further to ask?”
sarai{Ehl} “yes Sir...if you could sum all this up in one word, what would it be?”
Devonix “Hmmn one word...Guidance”
