Author's Notes:
This story is erotic fantasy, set in a world of magic. I reserve the right to be listed as the author of this work, wherever it is posted. If found posted anywhere except Literotica.com with this note attached, this story is posted without my permission. © Darkniciad 2000-2007
The sexual situations in this story will be far ranging, and may prove disturbing to some readers. Please be warned that the villains of the story are really evil, and the things they do are not glossed over, or toned down.
I make use of modern weights and measures quite often in my work, because those are the weights and measures of my fantasy world. I know many fantasy readers prefer more archaic terms, and I hope those readers can overlook my use of miles, feet, and other such measures.
You really need to read the previous parts of the story to know the characters and the storyline. This tale follows Danica in her day-to-day adventures, with the greater plot emerging slowly at first. Think of it more as a serial than a novel, and you'll be in the right mindset.
This is an edited version of this tale, making use of what I've learned since starting to post at Literotica, and the services of my tireless editor, Roust Writer.

Danica saw a tray on her bed when she returned to her rooms. She ignored it, slipping out of her robe and into a bath. She didn't waste any time, she simply washed and then dressed.
Once she was dressed, she picked up the two healing draughts and jar of salve on the tray. She put them in pockets of her robe, followed by the skin she would use to flush Marlena's depths, and then picked up the note on the tray.
You of course understand that you shall reveal nothing to Marlena about her situation except that it is hopeless. The first potion will dull immediate pain. Bathe and cleanse her, then use the salve to further ease her hurts. Shave her as well. The final potion will complete her healing and give her rest. I'm quite sure you remember how the process works, little rose. She should awaken by mid afternoon.
Everything you shall need then will be left for you in the morning. Ensure she is well cleansed quickly after wakening. When she has completed her next service, I should anticipate it will be quite late, I'm sure you know what to do. You are forbidden intimate contact with her, save that necessary to heal and cleanse her. While she is busy, you shall remain in the viewing room at all times. Bring whatever comforts you require.
Danica could almost hear the mocking laughter in the letter's careful, even script. Danica sighed and made her way to the viewing room.
Several of the young men had already left by the time Danica returned. She could see the evidence of pain mixed with pleasure in Marlena as the woman continued to pleasure herself. The bed and her body were soaked with her juices.
Shortly after Marlena's next orgasm, most of the other young men left. The two that remained asked questions about how to make a woman feel good, and Marlena demonstrated what made her body quiver.
After Marlena's next orgasm, the two remaining men left. They laughed and talked as they left the room. Almost as soon as the door closed, Marlena covered her sex with her hand and sobbed in a mixture of pain and despair.
Danica rose quickly and went to the door to Marlena's room. The woman started when Danica opened the door, and tried to pull the sticky bedclothes over her naked body. Her look changed to one of anger when she saw it was Danica who had entered the room.
"What do you want?" Marlena asked trying to sound defiant, but her voice was hoarse and she was barely able to croak it.
Danica produced the first potion vial and offered it to the woman. "Drink this, it will ease the pain."
"You're one of his – gods only know what that will do to me. Forget it."
"I'm one of his, just as you are one of his. I have no more choice in the matter than you do. It is a healing and pain killing draught. Zoraster uses much more devious means to torture you than simple potions. Please drink it," Danica implored.
"You're a prisoner here as well?" Marlena asked, managing to rise into a seated position against the headboard, with obvious pain.
"I was caught attempting to steal from the library. I’ve been here longer than I wish to think, and have endured more than I can even recall," Danica replied.
Marlena lowered her head into her hands, and then let out a croaking yelp when another stab of pain shot from her abused sex.
Danica offered her the potion again. "Please, drink it. It will begin to help, and you have to get up and get to the tub. You have no choice."
Marlena took the vial in her shaking hands and drank the potion. Danica waited a few moments for the potion's effect to take hold, and then said, "We have to get you to the tub. I'm sure you'll feel better once you've cleaned up some, and I have a salve that will dull your pain where it hurts."
Marlena hesitated for a moment, and then pulled the covers off her body, swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. Danica helped her to rise and led her to the tub across the room, identical to the one Danica had in her own rooms.
"Get up on the seat," Danica said, and then looked around, finding the expected stool that would put her at a level with the woman in the seat.
Marlena climbed up and sat down, wincing in pain. Danica pulled the stool over and sat down on it.
"Put your feet in the stirrups here," Danica instructed, and indicated the curious footrests.
A flush of embarrassment crossed Marlena's face, but she complied and parted her legs. Danica could see every inch of the woman's folds were bright red and inflamed.
"Try to relax," Danica said and pulled the skin from the pocket in her robe. She filled it with warm water, and then inserted the stem into Marlena's depths. Marlena winced again as the stem entered her.
Danica squeezed out the water, cleansing her. She then drew a bath. "Get in; the warmth of the water will ease the pain in your muscles at least. Wash up and I'll use the salve to ease your pain."
