Description
"Shade, get in here! Now! ”Shade appeared in the cave entrance, icy stalactites hung over his head, his white sabre fangs flashed in the moonlight. His coal black eyes glaring into the room, they were cat-like and completely soulless. He stepped into the palatial interior of the cave. Beasts that the master had defeated stood still and silent but their lives were cruelly sustained by sorcery. The large hide of some poor unfortunate creature was spread across the rough stone floor; its eyes were still full of life and constant terror. On the walls there were lanterns made out of animal bones, gruesome tapestries of war and torture, bloodied axes, swords and daggers were set in a display.
"Yes master?" Shade said his head bowed down low, an expression of absolute disgust on his face.
"Now come, come Shade we have been together for such a long time, is that any way to greet me?"
Slowly Shade crept closer his dark panther-like body flowing with sinewy grace, his fur appeared very soft and smooth in the light of the moon. Although his fur looked soft anyone touching him would find their hand shredded and bloody as his fur was, in reality, many thousands of small blades. He walked past a few burnt and battered targets, set in a natural alcove in the cave wall.
"No master" Shade sighed his tail swinging behind him. He moved his feet with some difficulty as shimmering heavy shackles had been placed around them and a long chain led back to the cave entrance, it was rusty and old but it was still shimmering like the shackles were.
"What do you wish of me master?" Shade asked his voice harsh and heavy.
The tall, too handsome human sat in a high backed, blood red leather chair. His hair, the colour of midnight fell slightly over his pale face, charcoal eyes looking menacingly at Shade. His clothes, all in black, consisted of a torn top, a long leather duster, worn trousers and dirty shoes.
"I need you to spy on the rebel group, understood?"
"Yes master" he shook his head his sharp teeth glinting “Unlock the chains that bind me".
"Now, now don't try to trick me Shade, without my enchanted chains to bind you, you would be running free" he smiled blood and flesh sticking out of his otherwise white teeth " We can't have that now can we? This is why I, out of the goodness of my heart, am going to give you this”.
He gestured towards Shade, who flinched, and shook, terrified as he saw a familiar bright light shoot out of his master’s hand. He whimpered waiting for the pain how did I become so weak? , in a furious burst of bitter rage he pounced at his master, his jaws wide, ready to clamp down on his throat. He suddenly collapsed to the floor at his master’s feet, snarling his body convulsing in agony. He lay on the floor twitching and his master walked up and crouched beside him, observing his pain and smiling.
"As you have no doubt just discovered, if you raise a single claw against me... well I don't have to say what will happen".
Shade nodded and obediently got up to let his master free him of the chains.
How do I get out of this nightmare? Yet you still don't suspect a thing do you.........
