The tower behind her crumbled and from the settling dust there he stood. The Knight of Legend, the rogue who, by himself, crushed the Vigil Knights to nothing.
She had watched the massacre when she was safe above in the Ghastly Eyrie. Shendelzare was to be the first in succession for the Throne, until her sister had betrayed her. Now, she fought against the very wrath she had witnessed all those years ago upon her perch.
The dust rolled towards her, the great tower sputtering out jets of malfunctioning essence before exploding. She stepped back and pushed a gust of wind forward to clear her path.
There he stood, body swapping from red to blue and his muscles staining to contain his vast divine strength. He had hardly broken a sweat while attacking something she could not dream of attacking alone.
But, Shendelzare was no coward, she had stood against six of the best assassins of the Eyrie and survived, certainly she could survive her encounter with Sven.
Sven stepped forward, helm gleaming in the sun.
Shendelzare felt a small appreciation at his body but quickly pushed the thought away from her. She forced her magic towards him, a common Skywrath spell to stun and dazzle. She felt a searing pain, as she was knocked back.
Doom stepped from the trees, a curse laid upon her. She was powerless to do anything as both of them ripped past her destroying her allies.
Within seconds it was over, the power of the Vigil's teachings were unsurpassed even in the Eyrie. She felt death get closer as she saw the burning pentagram around her, stopping her from access to her magic.
Doom stood above her, waiting to reap her soul.
Sven reached for Doom's shoulder. "I'd like to make a deal. For her."
Doom arched an eyebrow, a seemingly knowing look crossed his face. "Same as before. You uphold your side and vengeance is all yours."
"It is done then." Sven said, without looking to Shendel.
"Upon the 7 Hells, so mote it be. A deal is stuck, a soul for a soul."
Sven reached forward and took her by the scruff of her clothing. "We have a camp to get to, and some spoils of war."
**
Sven had seen her, standing valiantly against him in battle. She was no normal mortal, she was different, the fires of what he felt in his heart, within her eyes.
He knew that look, it was the look he had for 13 years while he trained for the Vigil. The look of someone needing vengeance, someone who had not succeeded yet.
His allies stuck to the trees, out of sight of the small band of rebels. He spared her for now, he would enjoy her once her allies were out of the way. He cleaved through them like warm butter and when he turned he saw Doom, an abhorrent creature cursing her for his own reaping.
Doom was the collector of souls, he gambled them away like nothing for whores, magical trinkets and oddities at the forbidden shops.
Sven felt something, more than just the need inside him to have this woman, but perhaps to also find out her story, a story that was just beneath the surface of those telltale eyes.
Sven stuck a deal as he had for another long ago.
He knew that he would not regret it.
**
She was bound and the look of silent defiance never left her face.
Sven felt his need rising, already looking forward to molding her and breaking her. The darkness inside him rearing its ugly perversions.
He had a particular love of her skin, it would be a stark contrast once he called upon his godly strength to.. enjoy her body.

The men were rowdy tonight.
They pulled the other captives from their prisons. Some men descended upon the others, ravishing them with no thought of the women, no thought of what they could do if they were disciplined to enjoy their subservience. Soon they would be broken in the worse of ways. Men like the ones under Doom's leadership made Sven sick, but he too could not fully wrangle the ungodly demon that possessed him.
Sven heard her voice cry out in protest as a raspy bounty hunter pulled **his** spoils of war from his tent.
"He has hidden her in here! I call first dibs on her tight.." The Second said, licking his lips.
Sven stood, fist clenched in anger. "Unhand her! She is mine."
"We all share here, Sven." The hunter rasped, "Especially the women."
