Red Prisoner II

(Drakken's POV)

[A Couple Weeks Later]

"Maegelle is nearly due." Mya said, "Her belly is ready to burst. Your child is definitely healthy."

I sat down in my chair, leaning on my arm, "Mhm." I said, "The figure of a soon-to-be mother is alluring and beautiful. Especially when it's Maegelle."

Mya was sitting down on the couch, looking at me with a smile, "And was I that attractive?" She asked, "I bore your son, who was not small at all."

I chuckled, "Of course." I said, "And I would love to see you in that state again."

"Perhaps when you've had your fill with the Targaryen girls." She said, "Someone has to be keeping you entertained when they cannot."

I leaned back, "Yea." I said, "I believe that my child will be strong. Either one of them."

"Stronger than Riktor?" Mya asked, "He was quite the potential, our boy."

"Not necessarily." I said, "But they could match him. Riktor...he's a joyous and free-spirited boy….I wonder if he'll maintain that attitude."

"What makes you say that?" She asked me

"You have to be composed and calm at all times when dealing with the power he wields." I said, "I am one thing, I have centuries of experience….so I can afford to be more lax. Riktor is still young, he needs to be focused. Telekinesis, Enhanced Strength, superior sword skills, and a draconic bond….all of that is too much for a born native of Westeros."

"He will not disappoint you." Mya said, "I give you my word."

"Hm….." I said, "I will trust you."

"If I fail you, you can punish me….in bed…" she said with a chuckle while she got up and walked over to sit on my lap, "I don't like getting choked while getting fucked like Saera enjoys…..but I can manage that as punishment."

"Your competitive nature has gotten you to try and outdo Saera when it comes to pleasing me." i said as she wrapped her arms around my neck, "Take a step back and relax, this isn't like you."

She leaned in and kissed my cheek, "Mhm."

"You are a trusted servant and my woman above all else." I said seriously, "There is no reason to be at odds with that one. She's a ridiculous case."

"She has too much influence on you." Mya said as she caressed my cheek. "Like Maegelle…but unlike that sweet and kind beauty, Saera's influence is ugly and vile. She's the reason why the Riverlands were bent to your will and destruction. She's the reason why you annihilated Sharp Point."

"Sharp Point was a message." I said seriously

"Understandable." She said, "But how long until she brings the Monster out and directs it to personal issues? House Frey was a clear example. You could have simply bent them to your will, but she made you destroy them."

I rolled my eyes, "Let us not worry too much about things like that." I told her, "I need the two of you to be on the same page. Do you understand?"

She nodded, "Sure."

"Now, onto something else." I said, "Our prisoner?"

"She has gotten her flame back." She said, "After Jocelyn fed her and had her rest, she has gone back to usual self."

"Alright." I said, "Time for stage one."

"Actual Torture."

************

"Come here to break my legs? My back?" The Red Priestess said, "Hm? Why place me in this typical torturing table when you know my faith in the Lord is strong? Nothing you do will move me."

She was laying on a rack while her hands were fastened by the leather straps, as well as her legs. The rack was at an incline rather than vertical.

Next to me, I had a table with tools laid atop it, freshly cleaned and assorted.

As I placed my apron on, I gave her a slight smirk, "Quite chatty today, huh?" I said, "You know how easy it would be to just…..kill you and your entire cult? Your family?"

"I will not repeat myself." She said with a serious look, "Whatever you do, I will not be broken. The Lord guides me, even now. He protects me from your torment, he keeps me from breaking."

"Oh, what you've been dealing with until now wasn't torture." I said with a smirk, grabbing one of the pliers, "That was me teasing. This is where the real fun begins. For me, though. I can't say the same for you."

She narrowed her eyes, "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already?" She said, "You broke my bones, you inflicted pain on me daily. It is futile to think that you can do worse."

"I once spent 5 month assisting my elder brother in torturing his enemies. Now, Tormenting is one thing." I said, "I have always been good at putting people through misery, breaking their wills by destroying what was dear to them. But actual physical and psychological torture? I have to admit, Viktor was an artist."

"You're wasting your time." She said as I walked over to her, "You will not-"

I clutched one of her toes with the pliers, which caught her by surprise. She looked down as she blinked, staring at it with bewilderment.

"This is something he taught me. He called it the Toe Jerker." I smirked, "Now, I know what you're thinking: 'What a dumb name.' And yes, it is. But intentional. Since he wanted his victims to think he didn't know what he was doing."

She looked at me, "This is fool-"

In a swift motion, I pulled her toe out, causing her to jerk in pain as blood poured of the wound.

"Agh!" She let out

"Hm." I said as I tossed the toe into a small metal tray, "See, the Toe Jerker is painful to a weak little thing like you….but the real kicker is the follow up. The Toe Jerker is in sections, that is."

I then leaned down and with the pliers, I pulled out the exposed nerve slowly, causing her to trash around in pain.

"Aghh!!!" She yelled out

"Yes, that's it." I said as I grabbed her shin while I slowly twisted the exposed nerve, "Did I compliment how nice your legs are? Sorry, recently I have been seduced by my Saera's beautiful legs and thighs. She knows how to work me, that one."

She gritted her teeth as she huffed, trying to resist the pain.

"Y-Y-Youuu…..!!!!" She shouted

I nodded, "Me." I said as I pulled the nerve out and caused her to jerk around some more, "Hurts, doesn't it?"

She closed her eyes, "Urgghhh!!!"

"I mean…." I said, "Breaking bones is easy…quick….pain does last….but this? Oh….you're far from done. And I could simply keep you from bleeding out, it's very easy."

She looked at me, tears forming in her eyes, "D-Do your worse."

"Okay." I said, "The Toe Jerker is one of Viktor's most basic starting bits. I mean, I like it. Even added my own flair to it. What happens when an exposed nerve is scorched?"

"Suppose you'll find out."
