When she opened her eyes, she was in a cold cage. Her hands tied together with a thick rope. Her head was pounding, whatever drugs they used, her vision was blurred and her mind was unclear. She didn't know where she was or why she was taken. She just felt weak, she could barely sit up. She tried to lift herself up from the floor of the cold cage, but she was too weak...
She wanted to summon Loki, but she couldn't muster the strength to move her hands. She knew for a fact that they used some type of strong drug that limited her movement...
”Hey boss, I think she's awake!” A man's voice yelled out
Ivery heard chatter all around her, but she couldn't see anything clearly or anyone around her, just blurred silhouettes...
”Hello, Princess” The man held Ivery's chin in his hand and lifted her head up
”Don't stress yourself, you were given a paralyzation drug, it won't wear off anytime soon...” The man pulled Ivery's hair and dragged her out of the cage
To his confusion, she didn't make a sound...all girls usually scream and cry out when their hair is pulled, even with the slightest pull they'd at least show a sign of pain. He threw her on the ground, her white silk nightgown was dirtied in the process. She did not groan and did not whimper, he stepped on her back and pressed the heel of his shoe into the center of her back.
”Is she dead?!” The man angrily asked his men
They all shook their heads quickly with a no. He looked down at Ivery who was lying down on the ground, not moving an inch.
”She better not be, what good is a dead infinite attribute holder? We won't be able to sell her off if she's dead” The man bent down and roughly flipped Ivery around to lie on her back
His face was in front of hers, and when she felt his presence directly in her vicinity, she smashed her forehead into his with full force, she used her shield to cover her forehead and it decreased the damage done to her, but to him, he felt as if his skull cracked from the impact.
She struggled but got up in time to run away, her vision was slowly becoming more blurrier, she jumped into what looked like a forest. But unexpectedly she found herself tumbling down a grassy hill, as she rolled down the hill, she hit every rock and wooden log on the way down. The rope around her wrists loosened as it was continuously grazed by sharp rocks down the hill.
Ivery was met with another unexpected disaster when at the bottom of the hill was a giant pond, and she unfortunately rolled straight into it. Her body began to sink in the water, even though the water wasn't that deep, without the use of her hands she couldn't get up to the surface.
The rope fell from her wrists, with the use of her hands regained she summoned Loki. Loki appeared and looked at Ivery.
”Loki, I don't know what's happening...” Ivery squinted and tried to make her eyes focus on Loki
”I know the situation, I disabled your ability to feel pain, so no matter what happens next...it won't hurt” Loki said
”Ivery, can you use your magic?” Loki asked
”I feel too weak...I can barely feel my magic” Ivery felt a headache come on
”That's..a bit problematic..” Loki didn't know what to do at this point
Ivery felt hopeless...she didn't want to be sold off and be used. She instantly remembered something that she thanked the gods for, her slimmest chance of hope. She felt her wrist and sighed in relief that the bracelet Luther gave her was still there.
”Ivery! That's a communication bracelet...!” Loki saw the black bracelet on Ivery's wrist and sensed powerful magic residing in it
”I know, Prince Luther gave it to me..” Ivery touched the bracelet
”That demon prince did!?” Loki had frozen up, stiff as a ice sculpture
”Yes, how do I use it..?” Ivery asked Loki
”You have to put magical energy into it, can you do it?” Loki asked
”I can...” Ivery focused on putting her magical energy into the communication bracelet
The purple gem on the bracelet glowed brightly.
”Inanna?” A comforting voice sounded in Ivery's ears
”Luther, I-I don't know where I am, I can't see anything...” Ivery tried to look around her and there was nothing but blurriness
”I'm coming, don't move” Luther said
...
”Where is she!?” The man yelled, walking hastily through the tall trees in the darkness
”We don't know boss...” Another man told him
”Find her!” The man yelled in his face
Ten men split up and ran into the forest, in search for Ivery.
.....
Ivery heard the sounds of running nearby and had no choice but to move and she had to feel her way around the forest, as for everything was unclear in her eyes. She felt the hard wood of a tree and went around it to hide from her predators.
She peaked behind the tree and tried to focus her eyes on two blurry figures no too far away from where she was hiding. Without a sound, a hand suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her back. She struggled in attempt to get away.

”It's me” Luther leaned in and said into ear
”Luther...” Ivery turned around and tried to look at his handsome face but couldn't see his beautiful features clearly
Luther looked at Ivery and noticed scratches and cuts all around her body and he noticed how dirty her clothes were, he swore to make everyone who did this to her die in the painfullest way possible.
”Are you in pain?” Luther calmly asked her, trying to suppress his rage
”No” Ivery said
”Who took you?” Luther asked
”I don't know, but I can't see anything clearly right now” Ivery felt like she was about to faint
”Ivery, trust me and go along with what's going to happen..” Luther said to Ivery as he looked at the appearance of two of the bandit's
In an instant with just a single glare from Luther, the two bandit's bodies were cut into several chunks of meat from their heads to their toes. Before they had any realization of what happened, they were dead within seconds.
Luther's body suddenly changed and he took the same appearance of the bandits! Luther grabbed Ivery and took her through the forest. He spotted three other bandit's standing by a few trees.
”I found her” Luther reported to three bandit's
”Take her to the boss” One of the bandit's responded
”Where is he...?” Luther tried to suppress his bloodlust
”He went back to the base” The bandit said
”....” Luther had no clue where the base was...so he had to use a different method
When the bandit's blinked, Luther was gone. They had no clue where he had gone in such a short amount of time...and without any of them noticing. Without a sound, Luther had appeared behind one of the bandits, Luther's fingers sunk into the bandit's head and blood ran down the bandit's face, the bandit yelled in pain as Luther's fingers dug in deeper.
Luther went deep into the bandit's mind and searched for the location of the 'base' that was mentioned. When he found what he was looking for, the bandit yelled louder as under Luther's bare hands, his skin started to melt, the excruciating pain of feeling your skin and bones and organs melt was unimaginable. In a matter of minutes the bandit had been reduced to a steaming blob of bloody goo.
The other two bandits were sweating pinballs when they not only saw one of their comrades being melt alive, before their eyes, the person who they thought was a fellow bandit of their group, transformed into a handsome youthful boy, long silky hair just as black as the night sky, his skin unblemished and fair, his jawline perfected in every way imaginable, he was the god's masterpiece!
”W-Who are you?!” The two bandit's backed away from Luther, his aura and his presence made them feel like they were suffocating
”My identity will be of no use to you...” Luther's purple eyes glowed brightly in the darkness of the forest
”Why is that...?” One of the bandit's asked
”Because you're already dead” Luther smiled at him
...
Just looking into Luther's dangerous eyes, one of the bandit's collapsed on the ground, he was squirming and rolling around on the ground, clutching his chest tightly. The other bandit screamed when she saw long black worms crawling out of her partner's mouth, ears and nostrils. She threw up at the sight of it, it was so disgusting to look at, it gave her constant shivers.
The worms ate through his stomach and internally, they began to eat at his brain. He was miraculously still alive and he was gasping for air as the black worms went back into his mouth and into his throat, traveling inside him windpipe, making their way into his lungs. Blood started pouring out of the holes in his body as the worms ate through him.
”And as for you...” Luther looked at the other bandit
”Please...spare me...” She dropped to her knees and pled for her life, she was trapped and paralyzed with fear
”Why should I?” Luther's smile remained still on his face
”I-I'm pregnant!” She cried, tears rolled down her face
”You're pregnant..?” Luther had a hard time believing her
”Y-Yes so please! Have mercy on me and my unborn child!” She cried
”Erebus..” Luther called out
”Hm?” Erebus floated beside Luther
”Is she telling the truth?” Luther asked
”....” Erebus looked at the sobbing woman and sensed something living inside of her
”She is” Erebus replied
”I see...” Luther crossed his arms and looked down at her pitiful face
”May I ask who got you pregnant?” Luther had a suspicion and wanted to know if he was correct, if he was correct...he'll have no choice but to do what he planned
