Dragonlance: Laurana in Bondageby PJ Part 1 400 years after the Second Cataclysm Eimylee slipped silently through the dense trees of the Wayreth Forest, herhand resting tensely upon the pommel of her sheathed sword. The elf girl'spointed ears shifted through the sounds of swaying branches and scamperingforest animals, alert for anything that might warn of an ambush. Eimyleepenetrated deeper into the forest's heart, eventually entering the clearing ofthe Tower. The remaining Tower of High Sorcery rose into the afternoon sky, its wallsscarred and blackened, but still intact. The protective wall had becomeovergrown rubble, and the South Tower was marked with a dark, glassyindentation where once a mighty building had stood. Eimylee agilely climbed over the broken stone and crossed the grass-coveredyard to the cracked fore-tower. The flimsy wooden door to the fore-tower wasclosed and latched. Eimylee pounded on the rough wood, then waited for someoneto investigate. The beautiful young elf girl heard shuffling footsteps approach the door. Thelatch was thrown aside, and the crude portal squealed inward. "What do you want this time, Eimylee?" demanded a weak, bitter voice. "Something's happened, I need your help," replied Eimylee earnestly. The doorman snorted, but left the portal open while he disappeared into thefore-tower's dark interior. Eimylee followed the doorman through a circular room and down a hallway into alarger chamber. The robed doorman began slowly climbing a tall, spiralstairwell, occasionally stopping to cough loudly. Eimylee patiently climbedafter the robed man, winding up and up until they reached a closed door. Therobed man took a key from a pocket and unlocked the portal before entering theroom beyond. Eimylee recognized the scents of herbs and chemicals thatsuffused the black-robed wizard's laboratory. The room was spacious andcircular, with a tall, domed ceiling. The windows of the room were closed andcovered with thick, black drapes. The room was very warm, illuminated by overa dozen fat tallow candles. Hacking into a handkerchief, Sorlin Majere went behind his desk and slumpedinto a high- backed, cushioned chair. The wizard pulled back his heavy hood,revealing lank, dark-blonde hair and cold brown eyes in a pale, drawn face. "What happened?" "My mother Laurana has been captured by the Dragon Knights, they caught herwhile she was scouting near Jelek." "Why was she there? Everyone knows that entire region is held by the DragonKnights." "She was collecting intelligence, watching to see if the Knights weremustering for another campaign." "They'll take her to Neraka. There's no way to rescue her," said Sorlinemotionlessly. "Can't you do something? Use some kind of spell?" asked Eimylee desperately. For the first time since Eimylee had met Sorlin, the mage laughed, a sharp,biting laugh that held not an ounce of humor. "You delude yourself, elf," replied Sorlin. "Magic is the stuff of legendsnow, I merely protect knowledge and dabble in rude alchemy, nothing that couldaid you or pluck your mother from the grasp of darkness." "You will help Eimylee, my apprentice," murmured a low, but powerful voicefrom behind a thick curtain. A second black-robed man emerged and stood facingthe elf girl. The man drew back his hood, and Dalamar nodded at the astonishedyoung ranger. "But Master..!" "You will obey me or you will be cast out from the Tower!" hissed Dalamar, hisnarrow eyes flashing. Sorlin scowled, but nodded in acquiescence. "You are correct when you say that alchemy and lore will not be enough to facethe Dragon Knights. You may use this on your quest." Dalamar reached behind the curtain and withdrew a tall, smooth-shafted woodenstaff. A crystal ball held in a dragon's claw topped the weapon. "The Staff of Magius!" gasped Sorlin, standing up and rushing across the roomto take the offered artifact. Dalamar smiled when he saw Sorlin's naked lust for the staff. He handed theartifact to Sorlin, then hid his hands within the folds of his sleeves. "Does it still possess any magic?" breathed Sorlin while he stroked the smoothwood. "I do not know. Perhaps," shrugged Dalamar. "I haven't tried to use it incenturies." "Thank you, Master Dalamar," bowed Eimylee respectfully. "Before you travel to Neraka, you should go to Palanthas and collect yoursister from the Temple," suggested Dalamar. "She's just a priestess, how can she help me?" countered Eimylee with aconfused frown. "The priestesses of Mishakal are very skilled in the healing arts. Yourmother may need Catrina's help after you free her from the Dragon Knights." "I'll go to Palanthas," agreed Eimylee. "You still have daylight left, you should set out at once," said Dalamar. "Good luck." Eimylee left the laboratory, but Sorlin lingered behind. "Why do you care about Laurana?" "We..have a history, that's all you need to know," replied Dalamar curtly. "Besides, this will be educational for you, and profitable if you pay attentionto what goes on around you." Sorlin bowed briefly, then left to gather supplies for the long trek.****** Laurana screamed when the long, leather lash slashed across her shoulders,biting deep into her sweating flesh. She hung naked in a brazier lit torturechamber, the howls of the other prisoners filling the elf woman's ears. Laurana knew this room well, she had been held captive here once before, overfour hundred years ago, during the War of the Lance. Now hobgoblin torturerswhipped her manacled body, their reeking sweat assaulting her nose. A largehobgoblin with bulging arms and an ugly leather mask over his face raised hiswhip and cracked it down again, the leather driving across Laurana's back,making her jerk in agony. Laurana bit her lower lip so hard it bled, her barebreasts pumped like overworked bellows. The sneering hobgoblin stood close toLaurana, placed his meaty paw between her legs and rubbed her wet cunt. Laurana moaned softly, her upraised hands twitching while her captor fondledher moist pussy, his thick fingers digging through her slit and into hervagina. The hobgoblin thrust his hand back and forth within Laurana's cunt,his free hand grasping her left breast and crushing it. Laurana groanedloudly, she threw back her head, her small ass gyrating as her captor fistedher. The hobgoblin leaned forward and licked the side of Laurana's gracefulneck, his tongue clammy with drool. "Like that, elf bitch?" growled the hobgoblin into Laurana's delicate, pointedear. "Want some more?" Laurana could only moan, her throat raw from screaming and thirst. The hobgoblin slapped Laurana's tight ass, then opened his codpiece, pullingout his fat green cock. He slid the oozing head across Laurana's goldenbuttocks before slipping it through her crack and into her glistening pussy. Laurana's eyes widened, she gasped as she felt the hobgoblin'sprick drive into her vagina. The torturer seized Laurana's curvaceous hips andstarted pumping against her ass, his cock sliding back and forth within hertight hole. The chains holding Laurana's arms above her head jingled as theelf woman's whole body shuddered with each stab into her tender cunt. Thehobgoblin grunted with effort, piercing Laurana's smooth skin with his claws,dragging bloody furrows along her upper thighs. Laurana moaned weakly when shefelt the hobgoblin's cock swell inside her. The hobgoblin thrust faster, hiscrotch slapping against Laurana's taut buttocks.The elf woman's breasts quivered as she rode her captor's pole, her long,golden hair spilling down her welt-covered back. With a sharp grunt, thehobgoblin climaxed inside Laurana, his foul seed dripping down the elf woman'slong, slim legs. The hobgoblin took up the whip again and resumed lashing Laurana. Shecouldn't even scream this time, she whimpered while tears of pain flowed downher flushed cheeks. A Dragon Knight strode into the torture room, his darkblue armor reflecting the light from the flickering braziers. The hobgoblinstopped whipping Laurana and rushed to bow before the Knight. "Has she said anything?" demanded the Knight, his anger hidden behind anornate dragon helm. "No, my lord," replied the hobgoblin torturer, face downcast. "Whip her for three more hours. If she doesn't break, bring her to me." "It will be done, my lord." The Dragon Knight departed in a swirl of blue cloak. The hobgoblin licked hislips as he approached Laurana, this time standing in front of her shackledbody. He raised his long whip, then cracked it across Laurana's breasts,making her shiver in agony, a single throbbing welt marring both of her ripetits.***** Part 2 Laurana was dragged up the dais to the waiting altar. Four bronze brazierssmoldered and covered the altar in a haze of strong incense. A priest ofTakhisis stood on the far side of the altar, resplendent in a black robe with ared surcoat, a heavy silver chain around his neck bearing a medallion with thefive-headed representation of the Dark Queen. Two Dragon Knights removedLaurana's filthy shift and picked her up by the arms and legs, laying her outupon the cold, obsidian altar stone. One Knight manacled Laurana's wristsabove her head while the second soldier clasped manacles around the elf woman'sankles. Laurana's naked body was covered from neck to ankles by angry redbruises and welts, her inner thighs were marred by purple marks where a DragonKnight had raped her repeatedly the night before. Laurana rested on the altarin a fog of pain and despair, her almond-shaped eyes glazed as the priest ofTakhisis began chanting praises to the Queen of Darkness. Two more priestsclimbed onto the altar platform, one held a jar of glistening ointment, theother held a soft, black, velvet pillow that cushioned a collar of gleamingblack scales. The scales flowed and shifted like thick oil, eager to entwinearound Laurana's slender throat. The bound elf woman wearily closed her eyes,and remembered...****** Laurana knelt behind a small boulder, her lovely eyes narrowing as she watchedthe mounted patrol of Dragon Knights ride over the road toward Neraka in thesoutheast. That was the fifth patrol to ride past in the last six hours, theDragon Knights were indeed on the move. The blonde elf woman sat down on the hard ground, removing her backpack to geta piece of travel bread. Chewing slowly, Laurana pondered the rumors she hadheard in Jelek. After the last major war between the Dragon Knights and theKnights of Solamnia, most of the people of Ansalon considered the age ofconflict to be over. The Dragon Knights had been forced back to their bastionsof power, Neraka and Sanction. The majority of Ansalon was now free, and forthe most part life was peaceful and comfortable, at least for the humans. Laurana felt a stab of heartache when she thought about the current elf war. For no apparent reason, the Silvanesti had formed a Dominion and begun acampaign of conquest against their neighbors. The Silvanesti army had marchedstraight for Qualinesti, claiming massive tracts of new territory. TheSilvanesti were a sparse people, but they had enlisted help, the DragonKnights, and unbelievably, tribes of hobgoblins. Laurana smiled bleakly whenshe recalled the swift mobilization of her own people, they had stopped theSilvanesti advance cold at Pax Tharkas. Now the Qualinesti elves feared aflanking maneuver, conceivably the Dragon Knights could send a fleet fromSanction and land practically at the doorstep of Qualinost, if they had enoughtroops. Although Laurana's bloodline no longer held the position of Speaker of theSun, she still served the Qualinesti as best she could. Even though she wasover four hundred years old, Laurana still had the grace and beauty of a youngwoman. She had traveled far to scout the lands held by theDragon Knights, her mission to discover if the Knights were gathering newlegions to complete the invasion of Qualinesti. Laurana finished her bread and washed it down with cool water from her flask. She decided to wait until dark to attempt a crossing of the plain towardsNeraka, that decision would prove to be a mistake... Laurana stiffened when she heard the soft footfalls of boots on rock. Shebarely had time to open her eyes when the swordhilt smashed into the back ofher neck. Laurana rolled, dizziness and nausea warring within her. A bootcaught Laurana in the belly, forced the air from her lungs. "Qualinesti bitch!" sneered the Silvanesti Night Runner, grabbing a fistful ofLaurana's golden hair and punching her soundly in the face. Laurana lay limplyon the ground, moaning in pain. The elf woman's weapons were torn from herbody, her wrists were lashed behind her back with leather cord. "Take her to camp," ordered the Night Runner squad leader, a pale-skinnedSilvanesti with light brown hair and frigid blue eyes. Two Night Runners picked up Laurana and carried her like a deer caught for agreat feast. Six Night Runners sat around the crackling fire, passing a wine skin aroundthe circle. The Night Runner leader, Neer-Avin, knelt in front of Laurana,glaring into her bleary eyes. "What are you doing so far from home, bitch?" Laurana stared blankly at Neer-Avin silently. "Whore!" spat the Silvanesti, slapping Laurana sharply across the face. Laurana straightened and licked the trickle of blood staining her lower lip. "She won't talk," said one of the other Night Runners. "Let's just take herto Neraka and let the humans break her." "You'll enjoy Neraka," smiled Neer-Avin wickedly. "The humans have veryimaginative ways to break their prisoners." Laurana shivered reflexively, recalling her last visit to Neraka centuriesago. Neer-Avin noticed Laurana's moment of weakness, he slid a finger down betweenher leather-clad breasts. "The humans will copulate with you as if you were a pig, you'll stink of theirsweat and excrement." The Night Runner grasped Laurana's waist and jerked off her leather breeches. "What are you going to do?" asked a Night Runner curiously. "I'm going to show this bitch what she has to look forward to in Neraka,"hissed Neer-Avin, pushing Laurana's long legs apart. Laurana spat on the Night Runner's leering face. Neer-Avin turned red withrage and slapped Laurana again and again. "Qualinesti whore!" quivered Neer-Avin, opening his trousers and stabbing hiscock into Laurana's cunt. Neer-Avin pushed Laurana onto her back, tearing open her leather tunic. Hecrushed her breasts between his fingers, ramming his prick into her vagina. Laurana grimaced in pain, her thighs trembling as the Silvanesti thrust intoher, grunting with effort. Neer-Avin leaned against Laurana and licked herthroat, his fingers painfully pinching her tender nipples. Laurana groanedwhen the Night Runner's cock grew inside her pussy, filling her shudderinghole. Neer-Avin straightened, his hands roved across Laurana's ripe tits andstomach. "The bitch looks hungry, somebody feed her." Another Night Runner knelt next to Laurana's head. He placed his handunderneath Laurana's skull and raised her face to his crotch. The Silvanestiopened his black trousers and flopped his flaccid cock onto Laurana's lips. "Suck it, whore!" sneered Neer-Avin, twisting Laurana's stiff nipples. Laurana moaned, then reluctantly opened her mouth for the pale elf's shaft. The Silvanesti stuffed his meat into Laurana's small mouth, groaning in ecstasyas the elf woman tentatively sucked upon his member. "The Qualinesti slut likes it!" cackled Neer-Avin, pushing faster intoLaurana's tight cunt, his cock impaling her moist twat. Laurana moaned in protest, sucking wetly on the Night Runner's pole, droolcovering her lips and chin. The Silvanesti caressed Laurana's flushed cheeks,he dug his fingers into her warm, silky hair. Laurana licked down the lengthof the Silvanesti's shaft, then sucked lightly on each of his balls. The NightRunner seized Laurana's hair and rubbed his stiff cock over the elf woman'ssmall nose and cheeks, covering her gorgeous face with white milk. He pushedhis member back into Laurana's panting mouth, slipping it deep into herswallowing throat. Neer-Avin's prick swelled inside Laurana's glistening pussy. He fondled hersmall buttocks, stuck a finger into her tiny bunghole, wriggling it inside herclenching sphincter. Laurana groaned around the cock filling her mouth, shequivered when Neer-Avin stroked her bush of golden pubic hair, his fingersrubbing her throbbing clit. Neer-Avin held onto Laurana's thighs as he rammedinto her again and again, his member engorging, then bursting like a ripefruit, gushing warm cream into Laurana's small belly. The Night Runner probing Laurana's throat with his cock pumped his hipsharder, the flesh of his member caressing the elf woman's wet lips. Heorgasmed with a groan, shooting a thick stream of milk into Laurana's throat. Laurana strained to swallow all of the Silvanesti's cum, white jizz gushed fromher mouth, coating her perspiring face. The Night Runners raped Laurana every night after they marched southeast. Thelong nights became a nightmarish blur, a haze of sweat, semen, and smoothflesh. Laurana's arrival at Neraka was almost a blessing, until the reek ofslavery and despair hit the bound elf woman. The Night Runners entered theEmperor's Court, where a squad of Dragon Knights relieved them of their dazedprisoner. The Knights half-carried Laurana into the dark, twisted fortress inthe heart of Neraka, descending into the familiar darkness of the dungeons andtorture chambers. A hobgoblin torturer received Laurana, and began a series ofagonizing whipping sessions interrupted by violent, painful fornications. ADragon Knight officer had raped Laurana last, forcing her to suck him off againand again until the priests had come to complete her degradation.***** The priest's chanting reached a thunderous crescendo. He reached for the jarof ointment, took a handful, and rubbed the thick, oily substance overLaurana's graceful neck and shoulders. The ointment warmed Laurana's skin andmade her whole body tremble with pleasure. Praising Takhisis over and over,the priest took the gleaming scale collar and lowered it onto Laurana's throat. The collar entwined around the bound elf woman's neck, clenching tight againsther flesh. "She belongs to Takhisis now," declared the Dark Queen's priest. "She is aslave of the Dragon." Unable to speak, Laurana closed her eyes, and allowed hot tears to slide downher soft cheeks.*******
