Supreme Leader Torkson looked out the window of his prison. From his vantage point in the highest tower of the keep built by his Great Grandfather, he could see plumes of black smoke rising from the Great Temple about a mile away. This was the first information that he could glean from the new reality of the enemy occupation. It was obvious that things were not going well for the Church of the Goddess, but that was about all he could guess. Besides the boredom, not knowing what was going on drove him to distraction. As the temporal ruler of his kingdom, he was used to a constant stream of information and being able to act on it. His captors might have been doing this as a form of punishment or maybe they just didn't care. He sat down on his bed with his back to the wall. His cell wasn't bad, it was just bland. They fed him, cleaned his chamber pot and provided him with some reading material. A thick book on a stand next to his bed. He was beginning to get to the point he never thought he would ever find himself. If the boredom got any worse, he was going to actually open the holy book of his enemy. Usually this book was used to stoke the fires that burned heretics, but today he might read it.
There was a sound and the face of his morning guard, the one he nicknamed Gurgles because of his near constant throat clearing, appeared at the door grate. "Your Highness, you have visitors." He announced.
The door opened and three women walked in. One was in her late 30s wearing a simple but high quality dress with her hair up and covered like any woman of her status. The other two were in their late teens dressed in the robes of the church, their brown hair down to mid-back.
"Father!" the girls yelled as they ran to him. The older woman walked with more dignity watching the Supreme Leader embrace his daughters.
"My loving queen, please join us." He said to her gently.
Tears welled in the woman's eyes as she joined the hug.
"Have they treated you well?" Torkson asked once the sobbing and hugging died down.
"We only have one servant and have been confined to our quarters, but otherwise as well as one could expect given the circumstances. The biggest problem has been nothing to do and they don't tell us anything." The Queen reported.
"Priscilla? Penelope? How have things gone in the Great Temple?"
"Well, we were only weeks away from our official coming of age ceremony and exit from the nunnery when they came." Penelope said.
"The High Priestess herself was going over the ceremony with us when the soldiers arrived and took her away. I've never heard such colorful language in my life!" Priscilla said.
"Soldiers can be that way..." he said
"No, I'm talking about the High Priestess. The soldiers were very polite." Penelope corrected him.
"Really?" he arched an eyebrow.
"They took all the priestesses and novices out, but I don't know what happened to them. They weren't being mistreated when we last saw them." Priscilla said.
"Look out the window." He said. As they looked and gasped in horror, Torkson took solace in the fact that the soldiers had rescued his daughters from the lecherous advances of the High Priestess. All women of noble birth are expected to undergo 3 years of religious training in the Great Temple. At the age of 18 they can choose to leave the church or stay and become nuns, though few made that choice. Rumors had it that the High Priestess had favorite acolytes that she liked share her bed with including a handsome young son of a noble who she liked to sneak into the temple on a regular basis. If his subjects weren't so fearful of the wrath of the Goddess, he could have replaced her with someone less morally corrupt.
"Any news of any kind, my queen?" He asked.
"Our servant mentioned that carpenters and other workers were building something in the Great Hall, but that's really all I know." The Queen answered.
"Maybe they plan to negotiate something? Penelope piped up hopefully.
"A marriage contract perhaps? The Queen suggested.
"Do you think our daughters marrying heretics acceptable?" he asked.
The Queen cast her eyes down and shook her head.
"If King Korosan is merciful, I suppose he could do such a thing but from what I've learned before the war, he is a meticulous planner in his vengeance. My only real hope is a quick death. For you three you might escape his wrath and maintain some dignity."
The women cried and hugged him as the guards entered the chamber to escort them away. After they left, he flopped down on his bed even more depressed than before.
"Dignity." he thought as a wave of despair caught him.
What had been the throne room of Supreme Leader Torkson now was the domain of his enemy, King Korosan. Short and prematurely bald, at first glance Korosan did not cut a kingly figure, but in his eyes was an intelligent glint. His soldiers and vassals treated him with great deference as he sat in the throne. No crown on his head or fancy robes other than the ring on his finger indicated who he was, but his authority was all about him. He sat with a serious expression as he regarded the prisoner in front of him, High Priestess Shishling III dressed in the regalia and robes of her office. Her hands were tied behind her back.
"Deviant polytheist." She spat.
A smile cracked his face. "Were you warm last night? The fire that heated your room was fed with all the finest literature and holy relics we could find." He told her.
"Blasphemy! The wrath of the Goddess will find you." She growled.
"I'm right here. How could she miss me?" He looked all around mockingly. His soldiers and servants smiled. Her cheeks reddened in anger as the King got up and slowly walked towards her.
"I do not fear death heretic, you cannot scare me." She said defiantly.
"I know you are brave indeed, especially when there's a huge army protecting you." He said as he made a slow circuit around her.
"DIE SCUM!" she lunged but was stopped by the guards.
"Yes, I know, the Goddess will wipe us off the earth. Your speech before the Army of Holy Retribution marched off was priceless." He chuckled.
