When I awoke, I found myself bound to a cold stone slab. How did I know it was cold�well I was bare-naked. The slab was flanked by two females and further to my right I could see a table covered with many objects of different sizes and strange shapes. I could only guess as to their use��So you are awake, maggot!� Velrudavha, still visibly wounded, came into the room. �You shall get a small taste of what is in store for you when my wound is healed and I can take �care� of you personally�Club his body well and then give him ten whips to make him nice and tender� and having said thus she seated herself on a large chair next to a wall flashing an evil grin on her face. The two females took two large, black clubs from the table and lifted them menacingly into the air. Hundreds of very small spikes could be seen around the heads of the two cudgels. With a thump the clubs came crashing down on my ankles. The pain I felt was like few I had ever experienced before. I could feel the tiny spikes biting into my flesh, my every bone crackle and my every nerve scream��Not too strong now! We wouldn�t want him to have any brakes, now would we? At least�not yet!� said Velrudavha cruelly. The clubs were lifted once more, and dropped upon my tibias. Another wave of pain, greater then the one I felt in my ankles racked my body. I let out a desperate scream that echoed off the walls of the cave-like room. This seemed to bring great pleasure to the cruel Drow mistress �He screamed after the second strike? Such a weak one�we�ll have great fun with him!� and spewed forth a terrible laugh that made the very stone shudder. The clubs were raised once more and dropped again, this time upon my knees. Another influx of pain and another scream even louder and more desperate than the first. The clubbing continued up my legs and all over my torso, without leaving out the arms and sparing only my head. The last few strikes were not accompanied by screams�the rush of pain was so great, that I was on the very edge of consciousness. After completing this part of the torture, the two females allowed me a break to regain my senses (only so I would suffer more during the next stage). I was released from my bonds (I was hardly able to move) and turned face-down to face the rest of the punishment. My torturers then picked up two large whips with many heads ending in small metal maces. One of them lifted the whip and starting spinning the heads into the air. �One� she spoke, striking my bare back. New nerves were awoken, new pains were unearthed and a choked scream left my lips. �Two� screamed the other female, and another whip came cracking down upon my flesh. The pain was piling on top of itself and burying me in an abyss of agony...�Nine� I heard faintly trough the fog of consciousness�my vision was blurry and my body numb�so very numb. It was almost over I thought�the worst pain I had felt since my birth. Then Velrudavha rose from her chair and approached my torture-table. She pulled out a small vial from one of her pockets, uncorked it and passed it swiftly under my nose. I inhaled faintly�a rush to my brain..a thousand screams echoing into my mind�telling me to wake up�to return from my darkness. The numbness disappeared in an instant and was replaced by the sharp pain that I had become so familiar with recently. I opened my eyes wide and gazed at the Drow female standing at the head of the slab �I want you wide awake for the last strike! The last strike is mine!� she took the whip from one of the females and started spinning it frenetically above her head. �TEN!� she screamed and buried the black talons of the claws of pain deep into my soul. I screamed so loudly�so hopelessly that even Velrudavha was surprised. She kept silent for a short while, and then spoke slowly �You scream well, male�but this is a sweet massage compared to what is in store for you after I am healed.� She left laughing and speaking in Drow, as the two females picked me up, bound me and dragged me out of the room. They threw me into a cell. My bonds were removed, what a relief to my sore wrists and ankles. But that was not all that was sore. My body ached all over and something as simple as lying motionlessly on the ground like a rag doll seemed as painful as dropping a mountain on myself. I had so many questions that needed answers�why did the Drow capture those orcs, and now me? Why did the torture me so? Where exactly am I? What happened to�but my trail of thoughts was interrupted by a weak knock on one of the walls of the cell�
