There was pain and there was blood. Her breath was ragged. Their knives were dull and their hands were dirty. Oh goodness everything was so dirty. It smelled musty and rotten like there was acid in the air.
She screams as her tail is getting carved off her body a bit more than before. Her limbs were bound and the would talk about after the tail they were going to peel her exo armor off plate by plate. They were videoing the whole thing to send to the ruler of their lands.
they understood she could survive a lot as do most ice-jin so this could go on for hours or even days.
There was one problem however… she was not getting rescued nor were they getting their ransom, or freedom, or whatever it was they were using her as a bargaining chip for. The cold gaze of her family would see this is not the first time their youngest blood had been taken by the resistance or the conquered or petty thieves looking to score a great sum.
No this princess had been made clear she would have to get herself out of these situations by her own blood and sweat. Because at this point it was a nuisance to keep bailing her out.
Especially since she doesn’t seem entirely motivated to continue their growing legacy. She remembers how it used to be and now they don’t have time for her anymore they don’t have time for anything anymore and now she either has to contribute or she is a burden. There was no affection and she didn’t care for hugs. But they were asking her to change with their agenda and she was content before it all.
“Cold in the eyes of those who are constantly looking for the next thing and forgetting when at is already obtained.”
“Must I contribute to them in the language they speak or can I show them what makes me feel my worth?”
They would start with her armored arms and a blade shoved itself between the cracks at the weaker points. She cried out in agony as they wedged it and tried to pry her open like a clam.
She couldn’t stand this anymore. She couldn’t take it! Her next scream was one of absolute insanity! Her power exploded from her body and her aura grew dark. It enveloped her rage and she continued to scream snapping her bonds and throwing the seat she was under at one abductor. She got her hands under the ribs of another and threw them into the third.
She stood for a moment and breathed heavily and full of rage. She was collecting her sanity and looked at them from over a shoulder enraged by their audacious attempt at her life.
“Don’t get back up.” She demanded with a cold and low voice. “Serve your new masters or serve as a foot rest in hell.”
She stood taller especially as the shrunk low to the cold ground of her planet.
She would smash the camera, a swift kick with the heal of her foot blasted the whole thing.
She would turn to leave. When she heard one with a battle cry and a dash to her she would turn with the instinct to catch his blade in her hand which made her wince in pain. But she would catch him in the face with a horn going through his eye and a kick to the groin sending him back.
His blood was warm on her face as it dripped down her nose. But she gagged because it was wet and it smelled terrible. Gosh everything here was so gross.
The other two would either be recovering now or worrying for their man’s eye.
One would decide to should profanities.
She wanted to just leave and go home. She was incredibly upset that she had to deal with this whole ordeal. It was insanely troublesome. She would have to recover all of this too which was going to be annoying. She was completely bothered.
But she was alive and no doubt her family saw she finally achieved their goal and would expect more from her with was just as equally annoying. She walked all the way home in the dark and cold air of her planet in the most sour mood and lamenting her future.
Maybe she can use this opportunity to change that.

Glace, with a shortened tail as it took its sweet time growing back, was recuperating from her latest ordeal and she was in her room in a new fortress of a castle.
She was alone and at peace. A smile on her face of content not a care about anything or anyone else. Her hand and arm was wrapped from where the knives penetrated her she had been working on a piece for the rest time she was given.
This was bliss and this was peace.
There was a knock on the door and her brush snapped in her fingers. Which was a good thing it did or else it was going to get thrown at whoever opened her door and came in even without her acknowledgment.
It was a summons from her family that rest time was over.
She dropped over herself a decorated and ornately jeweled gown. It covered her from shoulders to toes. Hiding her embarrassing state. All except the dark bruising of her face. A sheer draping mask equally decorated was tied over her face.
She didn’t want the immediate mocking of the others to be invited. If anyone tried she might have to silence them. But the effort and disgusting mess that would have made furrowed her brow more. So maybe she’d hire someone else to do it.
It didn’t seem to be a needed thought as she was presented to her family. They wouldn’t say anything but the wave of hands would take away the clothes she dressed herself with. Which she grew tired and pissy about. Obviously her family wanted to see the sorry state of their daughter.
How touching their concern was…
They waited in silence and expected something. They’d assume she’d know what they were thinking.
When she didn’t seem to respond fast enough another wave of the hand brought in three men. Like one with a missing eye.
An announcement was heard as their crimes of treason and kidnapping would sentence them to death. Their gazes were full of question and terror as Glace put together the pieces.
They were given an easy access and they took the bait. She fell for it too. Such a pitiful thing for everyone. The cruelty was a kin to the world she lived in. But they were new to it and had yet to become familiar with it when their homes were conquered. Now they will be displayed as examples.
A shot was blasted in the back of each head and they fell to the ground.
But they were not done with their daughter. And she knew what they really wanted to gain from this.
Putting her in a dangerous situation was but a means to an end.
What a complicated waste of time. They reveled in these redundancies and she was just tired of them all.
Her arms folded and her aura flared before them. Dark and enveloping her very spirit. Her mood was as dark as the waves steamed off her shoulders as black as the night sky. Her hands played with the air until a blade of cold energy formed in her hands it crystallized into form.
She threw it between the horns above the man she would be claimed under.
He and the women he collected smiled viciously. Finally she was going to be of use to them and she hated it to the core of her being. Her face twisted and her eyes narrowed.
Her things were packed and prepared to be shipped off to a colony where she would be given orders to expand their flag. When they came to retrieve her however… She was gone.

What would she do now?
She made sure to get a few things in the time she had. The beings which were tricked and killed were members of a much bigger group. However she felt that half thought deed they achieved might have been their own independent act.
She still saw details in their encampment which showed the location of the resistance.
A refuge for the conquered to find a good opportunity to make their situation better in their advantage or simply to sew vengeance and discord. It was something those that bore her had been looking for to add another element to their quickly rising power. They had been searching for months. But due to the nature of these poorly organized ingrates they practically displayed their entire compound location. She was able to hide it on her person and keep it at hand for this occasion.
The mountains she had to climb through however, she pondered her path and found here was an easy way to do it.
The sack on her back and the pockets on her side as well as the hooded cloak. She felt so encumbered. They are going to pay for this dearly.
Her feet were also feeling every bit of dirt and her tail still hadn’t grown back entirely. She was not able to stop being in such a fucking bad mood but she’ll do anything they could not to accomplish their goal she’ll take the reigns on this family and she’ll get to the point she’ll demand some peace and everyone in her empire will obey.
Maybe she’ll contemplate the title Empress and the Galaxy will give her what she wants to simply make her happy.
Oh the smile that was brought to her face. She respected the power the current empire has and envied it as well. If it ever came in her grasp… well she wouldn’t say no.
She contemplated it as the distance came into her view. The scenery of her cold vast home was breathtaking. She could see the curves of the mountains and the winds blow through them carrying weaker layers of snow with them.
Oh what a beautiful view. Her heart flutters for the desire to capture this moment on canvas. Never again will it look the same as it does now. Even if she were to come back in the same weather time and rotation her eyes alone will see something different and maybe still just as beautiful but never in the same way.
That ached her heart but she looked back up the mountain saying goodbye to this moment. A sacrifice made for a greater purpose.
And the winds shifted around her as her power increased to guide them to her will. She commanded her energies and forced them to act. In flight her body lifted and silently she ventured into the sky.
*Glace learns Flight.

It took almost no time at all to reach near the haven of the resistance but Glace noted as she reached over a mountain peak that she was beaten to the punch. She would duck out of sight and calm her nerves.
She would hide her Ki and more so hide her presence. She would call on a power she found useful and her entire being disappeared from sight. Every fiber of her belongings also faded to a translucent force. She was there but fully inconceivable to the eye. Glace waited for what seemed like hours before she saw everyone pack up and leave. She slithered silently down the mountain choosing to hide amongst the windy hills and its casual snowfall. Boils she use any Ki she might still be discovered.
The grit that now coated her skin would make her shudder and grumble. She got low and paused near the entrance. Immediately she noticed her Family’s crested flag flapping in the wind and smoke rising from the entrance edge.
She concluded a couple of things then. Those that bore her knew where she was taken hostage. And there they found the same evidence she did of the resistance. And how the thorn in the side was taken care of they might have started to presume Glace herself could have come by or maybe they were searching all ports off world and increasing the amount of bodies to search for her. She hoped there might have been a ship in the cave. Though she doubt it. Surely maybe there was another faction to this resistance?
She creeped and listened for anyone left behind. But from the piles of debris outside it was a full clean sweep. Amongst them were bodies… lots of bodies. It was Genocide. Multiple races and ages all rendered helplessly marred. If anyone was taken prisoner it would be the heads only. Which she saw three bodies staked at the entrance without those heads. And a few more dangling by the feet blood pouring still warm from the cave entrance.
She paused there and gagged at the unsightly sight. But more so the image of any single drop of their blood that may get dropped on her person.
Coughing was suddenly heard from inside and someone small came running out breathing heavily and bound tightly by layers of warmth. The smoke must have gotten too much for the small child. It stopped by and saw the bodies around Glace it cried out in its language looking for someone but it was having trouble breathing in the atmosphere of her planet.
She reached in her bag and tossed a mask at the girl. It pelted the child in the back of the head.
“Be quiet!” Glace bared her fangs.
It startled the young thing but she saw what Glace threw and grabbed at it to hook on her head and take a few long breaths.
The apparatus Glace threw at her was something of an invention a sibling of hers made. When they overdid it on a planet and basically killed an entire rock the slaves they gathered had no where to go. And they made sure it stayed that way by giving them a mask which allowed them to breathe easier and work more effectively. It was part of how they were paid to work for their lives here. They lasted a few months. But Glace grabbed a whole sack of them as a bargaining chip.
“You…” she pointed to the child. “Are there other places of refuge?”

A foot wrapped around the child’s face and Glace shoved the child in the snow. It was fighting her as if it had a leg to stand on.
“You miserable little beast!” She screamed at it. “Stop trying to put your disgusting little hands on me!”
She was growing furious. “Everything is destroyed and all I need from you is to tell me where more of you are!”
It was yelling incomprehensible words to Glace and it was just out for a vengeance.
Glace ignited a blade as it charged at her again and she would cut the breathing apparatus off with some of its hair and flesh. It would leave a cold scar which would begin to bleed.
The child fell and clutched its face and screamed and cried as it tried to keep the mask on.
It was in absolute hysterics. But Glace would stand there and watch. This was her only lead to more of the resistance. She had no choice but to rely on this creature if she wanted to get anywhere. It was stubborn and it lacked a certain amount of intelligence.
She was not able to speak the beings language it was a lowly and pathetic tongue to learn but maybe it understands common galactic.
“Take me to your kind.” She demanded.
The child looked up and its soggy appearance as fluid oozed from its face in various places was repulsive and made Glace’s nose turn up.
But she held out a hand to tell the child to lead the way. When the child still hesitated Glace furrowed her brow and in her hand once again ignited a blade.
This put the fear in its gaze finally and it stood and started looking in the horizon to finally pick a direction and walk ahead. It checked back to Glace to make sure the rather pointed Ice-jin was following.
Sure there must have been thoughts that leading Glace to more of the resistance was a terrible idea. But Glace figured out surely it didn’t want to die alone either. So onward they would walk a slow and painful path for them both.
Glace found the being was able to hunt for its own prey so she ordered it to make sure and get enough for her as well. It needed fire and Glace did not however. Often she would even have the child carry the sack she was toting. But Glace realized the useless being grew tired faster and the pace they were making was already abysmal.
The first day went by without much an issue. Glace realized something that had not yet occurred to her previously. She was sleeping outside and on the ground. She spread her cloak broadly to but some kind of barrier between her and the grime. If her plan had come to fruition without an issue she wouldn’t have had to take these extra measures.
None the less she understood that two more days of this was enough to tolerate the situation she was in. For that’s how long the walk was to the keep which the Slaves held another haven.

The morning of the second day Glace found the child was curled at the back of her body on her cloak and Glace leaped as if she was being attacked by a parasite and kicked the child a fair distance swinging all sorts of curses at the dazed and now pained beast. It clutched its gut and looked at her with eyes that looked like her heart was broken and betrayed.
Glace took the time to lay down some hard ground rules that especially involved not touching her in the slightest. She tossed her cloak at the child she sure didn’t want it back after it was touched by this beast.
That seemed to brighten the child’s eyes. They covered themselves in it and the lushness of the fur and silk of the fabric might have been Heaven as it was enveloped in its immediate warmth. Glace didn’t need it for warmth. She would not miss it.
This will be their first full day of the trek and there was the matter of the cliff edge which was wide enough for everyone to comfortably pass but for some reason the child beast was going slower and hugged the mountain side.
“What is your problem?” Glace demanded to know.
It didn’t answer and it seemed to be breathing heavily.
“Listen and answer when I speak to you!” She sneered as her tail shoved the child to face her.
She looked at the beast who as seemingly tired. The heat that seemed to flush its sweaty body and slime to drip from its face it didn’t even cover its mouth when it breathed and Glace backed up when she felt a slight of it on her arm.
“You’re diseased.” She grimaced. “You want help… keep walking you are slowing us down. The sooner we get to your people, the sooner you can rest.”
It seemed to understand and it tried to stand but seemed to sway too far and it found weakness in the ground causing a full chunk of the cliff come loose. Glace cursed and shielded her face from the sand that kicked up. Her full attention saw her only ticket began its descent into the mountain crevice.
Her hand reaching but her body was still. Her will acted on its own and a power at her command reached for her. A bubble encapsulated the child and halted its fall. Glace felt her body wonder until its wits returned to her and she realized she created something new and maybe something of use.
She brought the kid back up to safety and the thing had the audacity to get comfortable in the bubble and point in the direction they needed to go. It looked at Glace with a hard realization that it knew she needed the beast.
“You’re staying in there until you stop oozing from your mouth. You disgusting beast.” She told herself.

Glace took up flight since her guide could be bubbled and carried now it cut their time in half. And they would make it to another mountainous region by the evening hours.
She would land and recognize the region itself if she judged it correctly her previous home was but half a days walk. She felt it ironic that this location was practically under their noses. It meant they had to be extra careful here as well when the castle had more patrols in this area.
She would be pointed with a weak hand by the beast she carried and up the mountains they proceeded on foot. Glace would not be able to cloak herself so she was extra cautious not to get pinned on both sides. She heightened her senses and would note the presence of a couple of other beasts tailing them on a higher advantage point. And more began to emerge from various locations creating a point to where if she took off she was getting pegged with their power from all directions.
She stood still and the child stays still confused for a moment.
“The child dies if I am harmed! The little beast is Ill, she’ll have no chance!” She shouted which echoed through the mountain.
Someone slides down from their advantage and approaches. The child recognizes its beastly face, Glace was unsure how they all look positively hideous. Glace shrunk the bubble in a threat to let it know her intentions. The child got a little scared.
“Remember… I found them… you’re useless if I change my mind and decide I don’t need any of these people.” The fear she placed in the kids eyes returned and it quieted down.
But the other grown beast heard Glace. “What would you want from us?”
“A bath in a disinfected tub and a meal fit for an empress would be a good start but I doubt you even have anything more to eat or drink than your own swill. So I’ll lower my standards and make this quick…” The venom in her voice was evident. “Take me to your leaders and I will put you lot to better use than whatever you already have planned.”
She held up her sack full of the breathing apparatus’. “Surely you lot can make use of these and I can get you more… I can even get you a ship off here to a better planet. Where you won’t need them anymore… this is my proposal… now comply and the child beast lives and I won’t have to turn in this location to those that bore me to atone for my betrayal.”
“Why…?” The beast asked confused at what she wanted.
She clicked her tongue at their sheer stupidity. “I need a rule of my own I do not want to aid another in theirs. That piece of shit only bore me and those of my brood to become a slave and I’d rather die.”
Another appeared as she was talking his one of a stronger male and a bigger influence as the others seemed to change their stances at it standing at the highest edge. The bigger one who spoke to her looked to that leader of sorts. Even beasts had some civility to create a hierarchy. But a hierarchy of beasts is still made up of beasts and she was growing tired of this.
Her suffering would come to an end in a moment when a nodding gesture would be made in exchange for a choice was made.
She made a loud frustrated sigh of relief. Even beasts had some sense.
The next phase can begin.
Glace learns: Ki sense.

“What makes you think we’ll want to go from one of your kind to another?” The beast who was broad and with immensely more hair along its body asked.
They had distributed the masks she brought to a hand full of those who “needed it most.” She didn’t care what they did with them.
The child beast was in the bubble still and Glace was going to sit in a chair like she owned the place. Which technically she owned it more than any of these things did for it was land that belonged to those that bore her.
“This is no way to live for you lot, it’s cold and desolate.” She started. “I want to weaken my family. I want to put their heads on pikes and set all they worked for ablaze. I was born for the soul purpose of adding to a name that was not going to give me anything in return. That’s no way for someone like me to live.”
She sighed a deep breath. “My kin destroyed your fragile little Star… I can give you the opportunity to not only exact vengeance but to maybe find a better place than this. I may call it a beautiful home but it’s obvious you lot don’t belong here. So what is your answer?”
She gave the beast leadership plenty of room to mull it over and decide to look amongst his peers to see what they thought of the situation.
“What is your plan to make this happen?” It persisted.
“Ugh…” she rolled her eyes this was taking forever if it was anyone else they’d have a good guess at what she was planning and would follow her lead for the gained opportunities alone. It was evident they won’t be able to trust each other so honestly trusting the process would have to be the next priority. That’s just basic tactics.
“Listen and listen well, because I will not repeat myself.” She started. “First we infiltrate the mask assembly facility get as much as we need for the rest of your… lives.” She was toning down the snide and had to really take consideration for her choice in words. “Then we’ll steal a ship from the hangars of my former abode. I know all the details about the weak points of entry to both facilities.”
The leader thought about it. “When we hit one we’ll see an immediate reaction from the soldiers and even your father.”
“DONT!” She leaned forward in reaction to his words. Her grip crushed the arms of the chair in a loud snapping sound that caused a lot of the ones standing around to take up a weapon. Her fangs bared and her gaze narrowed under her horned crown. “None of them are my family… do not use such terms in relation to my enemies which deserve nothing but my undying animosity.”
“My hate for them is driving me to this point and you might be my best chance to succeed… but don’t forget you are not my only chance… so freeze and die cold on this planet that has shackled you… or take this chance with me and seize this opportunity.”
She leaned back with a heavy sigh. “We will choose another star, amass strength. One by one we will… liberate those under their flag and pick apart their rule bit by bit. The more I… we take from them the stronger we’ll be and eventually that castle will be mine. When that happens you lot can choose a new hope which you may cultivate and… produce at your peace.”
“Under your flag however…” it suggested.
“Why yes… it’s a heightened deal than what you’ve already got obviously. Maybe all I’ll ask is a simple tax from all the trade you’ll make in trade for protection. But we’ll discuss that when we get there.” She shrugged calmed down from what she rose to. “However you won’t get off my planet without help.”
She brought the bubble with the sick child closer. “This deal is a limited time… its ends when this life expires. Your time here has weakened you lot and a child of mine could tear this place to pieces, the previous encampment you lot had set up had no chance. And neither do you if I were to blaze a massacre through here. Your absence from my home will weaken them and embarrass them to no end and that will bring me plenty of joy for the moment.”
“Ok… gather the others and prepare for evacuation.” The leader raised a hand. “Alert the other base, since the south one was ravaged of anything we’ll need to confirm it’s not compromised.”
She smiled pleased with herself. “It’s a deal then?”
It sighed heavily. “Yes, now please let the girl go. You have our cooperation.”
Glace had a moment to look at the child. “This is female?” She shrugged and popped the bubble letting the child fall to the floor in a thud. A hesitant other slowly approaching to grab the weak thing and take it to get the help it needed.
She was aware they probably accepted in the event they felt they could get rid of her. But for now she had useful information and they were very desperate. Her guard would not be let down.

Glace was presented to the bathing area which in a cave was just a pooling spring in deep caverns. It was shared with the majority of the hairy beasts. She cleared out every room in her wake as the lemmings feared her kind. That brought a bit of humor to her time as she walked these dusty pathways. She toyed with the waters edge before taking a dip resining herself to her fate. She would kill to have her oils and soaps. Her skin absolutely needs the conditioning from the dry and cold mountains that stripped away her routines. The protective layers that would moisturize and rejuvenate her body would be very much missed. They were pricy too. No cheap way to create such luxury by rare quality materials alone.
She rinsed off the grime and got out rather swiftly. The less time she had to swim in their soup the better. She drip dried on her way to where the hierarchy of this group would be discussing their plan and be updated on the evacuation progress.
“What about those on shift at the castle?” Someone pointed out.
“We’ll catch both shifts at the switch.” Glace blurted.
The others looked at her as if she had the audacity to speak and wondered what she was saying at the same time.
She exhaled a gruntled sigh. “You lot are always late in the day and night shifts anyway, we’ll catch them at the evening. When the Viscount and those brides are tucking their brood into bed or being fucked to make another.”
She waved a hand for them to agree with her and continue.
“With the information we are seeing. And the new information she has brought to light we’ve got an easy accessible way to get everyone in a ship and take off. Another team will in fact be causing a huge disruption in the mask assembly building for anyone who may get in our way.” The leader would point and explain in rudimentary detail by moving scrap charms to certain locations which represented each team.
“I trust you’ll all account for your kind while I and a team of yours take care of the facility?” Glace would look to each of them.
“Yes anything you need we will provide.” The leader nodded.
“Then I want that child again.” Glace crossed her arms.
“The same one you brought? She is still Ill, she needs rest and further more she will likely slow you down.” Another protested.
“That beast and I have an understanding, training another will not be in the realm of my patience. And I’ll need it for a small but critical part of us infiltrating in as well as getting out of the facility. It will be small enough to do the job I have planned.
“Alright…” they agreed and preparation’s began.
Glace would find a quiet corner and remember her training and sort some thoughts out.
She was about to go against the ones she hated with a task that there was no going back from.
She could go and take the outpost she was going to be sent to to conquer. She could lay low and amass a better army. It will be slower but the consequences she faced with this path were going to be great when it was over.
They’d rip, dismantle, and torture her. She could go back and hand this location to the Viscount maybe bargain a different and more comfortable arrangement. She loathed him and that idea made her want to puke.
While she was having these thoughts fade into her mind one by one as her eyes were closed people and their Ki would light up in the imagery of her mind and be felt by the tug of her own Ki. She would sharpen this trick as she waited to see how long these slow beasts prepared for battle and freedoms.

The child bound in fresh clothes and respirators was being given her medicinal treatment. She looked absolutely weak and tired and the potency of what she was given looked thin.
Desperation was rampant. Even Glace was stooping low for seeking the help of these savage beasts.
This was an escape attempt, it was also a big fuck you to that flag she was born under. These people did not seem to be against that. But they were absolutely determined to get everyone aboard the ship. To which that’s honestly the purpose the girl serves. Making sure they don’t leave her behind.
Surely they’ll be eaten alive by their guilt if they choose to leave this girl on this planet to rot while Glace has her by the scruff of the neck. There was another purpose but this was the bigger ticket.
The storm was blowing in which is in their favor even if not their comfort. The squad which would nab the people and the ship were already near position. The girl would be strapped to a male beast’s back and they would head out right then.
They slid down the mountain without disturbing much snow they kept low in the rocks to throw off any eyeing patrols. Glace signaled when they were timed and when they could keep going, she knew the routes and the intervals which were made.
The mountain winds bit at the skin of the beasts even if they were full of fur themselves but their upturned noses and jagged tusks would develop icy shine.
They neared the respirator facility and would take greater caution. Curving wide before sprinting to a door way. Glace ignited her Ki and pried open a hatch with her bladed energy.
She looked at the man and pointed at the girl. He would unstrap her from his back. And she would nervously shuffle to Glace.
Glace hissed impatiently. “If you are not quick we will all die and it will be your fault.” She warned the girl and pointed with a finger into the hatch. “When you get to the other side you’re going to open the door… press the card into the slot and it should open.”
She handed a card to the child and urged her to slide in it. Glace could barely fit herself into this slot most of her could but her tail end would leave little room for movement. But she listened carefully to the fading echoes of where she would be and judge by that how far she’d progress.
There was the grunt and clatter of the grate on the other side.
Moments later the door buzzed open.
Glace opened it and let everyone inside. The hallway was short and on the other side the little beast waited with her card.
“You did good little one.” One of the beast praised.
“She did what she was told… and she isn’t finished yet.” Glace gripped her by the neck of her coat and pulled her away from the man.
It snorted a huff of annoyance.
“You lot go to positions and place the explosives.” Glace ordered. “Little beast and I are going to place The Big One.”
“That one is in the central breaker, the fan inside won’t be shut down without authorization…” it tried to explain.
“I can fly, and I want off this planet as much as you, I’ll keep her safe out of necessity.” Glace assured them. “We don’t have much time.”
With reluctance they went separately.
Glace turned herself and the little beast invisible as they moved slowly toward the central breaker tower. The one room basically ran the whole facility. All power and data routes lead to that location and it ran hot. It needed fans to keep it cool. Three Massive fans spinning strong enough to slice clean into a body. That’s a fact she was able to witness when this place opened. It was like a christening.
When they arrived Glace had the girl input the card, while still invisible, and the door opened right up. Glace yanked the girl inside and activated her flight when it shut. The wind in the room was frigid and gusty enough to push a person around below was one fan and above was two more Glace made swift work on placing the bomb down the core tower and mission accomplished.
Getting out was almost as easy as getting in and they’d make a run for the ship hanger and the Bombs would go off in a chain reaction they had to take cover. When a brigade of soldiers came to investigate. Which was made much harder from the avalanche that started.
By then Glace and the rest were far enough away from the facility and onto the next phase.

*Advisory: scene will involve death and violence against children.* The screaming that pierced her body and her senses. The cries of terror and despair left Glace unable to think as the wreckage rained down around them. The squeal of a little beast that watched as she was left behind and sacrificed to ditch the woman who held her hostage only to have their lives ended. The last of her kind now screaming so loud Glace felt it in her body and it pierced her mind. It crawled under her skin and tore through her every nerve in absolute alarm. She’s heard it before. The vocal strain which was not felt by the terror and sorrow that now shook the very bones within her flesh. She wanted it to stop! To look back on the events that unfolded here as if flashing to make sense of it all would proceed as such… Minutes before when the ship was ready for take off the hatch was blown open by explosives as the engines warmed. The hanger left empty from the explosion of the factory. The success story that played on everyone’s minds slaves in abundance would sing the songs of freedom. Glace had her own corner where she still held onto the sick girl. She saw the eyes that wanted to let her go and the emotions that wanted vengeance. It was she who got them this far and it was she who gave them this chance. They should be grateful. All looked within the grasp of success and all was going according to plan. Glace played the signs in her head of the last few moments before she was struck with a stun weapon on full blast. The door to the exit hatch of the ship was opened and the girl came with her without realizing that Glace still had a hold of her. They made the choice to jettison them both back into the snowy ground. Just as Glace regained her senses she watched as a Blast of Ki erupted the entire ship. Everyone went up in flames. Viscount Frore in the sky with a hand up firing a blast that disintegrated the freighter ship. Glace and the girl fell on soft snow. And when they realized what happened the screaming started. It started and did not stop it shook Glace to her core. It violated every single fiber of her senses and rising from her was nothing but… Murder… A hand came up and a shard of glassy Ki formed in her palm. The girl looked at Glace in her shock and fury. She grabbed the ice-Jin’s hand and screamed more as she aimed the shard towards her own face. This girl wanted to die.
She screamed and screamed. She squealed like a beast and roared like she was wounded. And she was terrified. She would rather die than stay here and would rather die than face any more of this.
It went silent.
It went cold.
Many years from now Glace wouldn’t remember letting her Stiletto of Ki go. Her mind was a blur still hearing the scream in her head drift in the blowing winds. Otherwise everything went dead quiet.
The only color she saw would fade to black as blood froze in the white snow. Where the child beast fell and it poured from a fresh wound through the head. Her face and eyes knew no peace as they stared cold through the ice demon.

Youngest brother, Snu:
*Advisory: torture.
After the explosion and the extinction of all the castle staff as well as of its race. Glace still in a certain amount of shock would be sent to the castle’s personal dungeon. Where she awaited some verdict to weigh her actions.
The cell door opens and a tall but slender Icejin comes in. His hands at his side until one comes up and covers his mouth.
“They gave you the dirtiest corner of the prison didn’t they.” He grimaced.
“They sent you first?” She snickered. “Well this won’t be so bad… how are you Snu?”
She was suspended and pulled tight on chains which were around her neck, wrists, and ankles. Her tail pinned to the wall behind her. It was all mechanical and cold metal. It was rusty and soiled from its previous captives release which had been dead for a few days prior. It was still sticky and putrid with decaying fluids as it contained her.
“You’re going to be visited by any who accept the invitation. Father has asked us not to kill you, but if you beg for mercy then we are to take you to him immediately.” Snu looked at his older sister. “As the youngest and less experienced I got first dibs… but if you beg then we don’t have to do this Sister.”
“He wouldn’t even see me after what I’ve done. Not even to punish me himself. He made this farce instead…” she felt so much hate. Her teeth grounded firmly and a disappointment radiated her whole body. She twitched in her annoyance making the chains rattle and clank.
“I am not a member of this family any more than you are.” She bared her teeth. “Get it over with.” She flared her own powers to see if he could match her.
“Glace don’t be stubborn. After me it will be her and she will not be kind but then it’s the rest and from what I’ve seen you’ve pissed everyone off enough they are itching for their turn. You’ve always been the most stubborn and barbarous child.” Snu urged as he readied his fists by cracking his knuckles. Not flaring his power at all.
“Will I get Mercy… From you of all Jin?” She hissed. “Did the infestation in your bed finally reach your head you spineless flee bitten coward!”
That made him pause and she saw the fear in his eyes. She just smiled viciously. “I know of the beast you fuck… the bastard you bare with it. That Witch doesn’t keep any secrets… you can tear her throat and cut off her hands but she’ll still talk out of her Ass.”
That was when the first trades of blows struck Glace. They were precise in snapping her arms and legs at the fore arms and calf to start.
This made Glace hiss painfully through clenched teeth, the pain was mentally blinding as the supports in her legs were shattered. “You… you got stronger.”
“I’ll worry about Icee… keep My beast and My bastard of your tongue.” He threatened and blurred hands snapped her elbows and knees. Which were more painful than the last causing pained grunts from a breathless prisoner. “Now… Beg for mercy, I’ll stop.”
“N-No…” she growled through clenched teeth. “I’m tired of these games and I will not be used. I’ve got the guts to do what you all can’t!”
“Glace…” he would exhale a heavy sigh. Snap her thighs and upper arms which she let out more exclaims of pain as her limbs are almost all slack now.
“I’ll be carving my own path and make my own choices. I’ll have my own flag. And I’ll crush his to make it happen. I refuse to expand a kingdom which will feed his power. WE are more than that! We are better than these games! We are superior and I…”
Snu dislocated her shoulders and hips as she ranted.
She cried out in pain with this and immediately he began breaking her pelvis and ribs. Which made her screams halt unwilling to exhale the noise with her ribs stabbing her insides. Her body was going into shock with the waves of survival and agony her body stiffened and her mind was going blank as she occasionally convulsed.
“Back stabbing,… snide words,… tricks… say it to my face you hate me! Challenge me to the death to take my place!…This is the kind of thing I want.” She paused because blood began to come up her throat she wouldn’t choke but it was becoming difficult to continue. “I’ll…kill you… to get it…”
She was punched again in the gut and she felt it go through her entire center and snap her spine out the back. Where the rising bile and blood shot out of her face in every direction. Snu was barely fast enough to dodge the putrid fluids.
Snu’s tail hit a button and her chains tightened. They stretched her broken pieces out so they couldn’t heal on their own. She couldn’t relax and she couldn’t rest she was feeling her body scream and twitch from all the damage it was going through.
“I’m sorry, Sister.” Snu shook his head disappointed.
He’d exit the chambers and be met with “The Witch”. She was not magic but her black hands and black Ki was the darkest and most vile of all. Inherited from her mother which is also the Mother of Glace. Glace had not seemed to show if she inherited her mothers skill with this particular Ki like her sister. It could simply be that she refuses to use that kind of power.
“Icee…” Snu acknowledged. “You’re here early.”
“I wanted to see if you’d actually go through with this.” She smiled softly at her half brother. “You tenderized her well enough for me then?”
“She’s in pieces but not in parts.” He narrowed his brow anger flashed his gaze.
“Have something to say?” She chimed.
“No…” he turned to walk away.
“Oh Snu…” she called after. “Tell the family I said hi.”
He balled fists and stormed out.

Younger sister: Icee
*Advisory: Gore and torture
She was pulled thin so her body couldn’t heal and every bit of movement was like feeling the sharp ends of bones tore more of her insides. She had a her chest caved and her spine in pieces. She couldn’t feel much below her waist but she was sure the internal bleeding was swelling her legs and feet. Her head was light and her senses were faded
The door she was sure was open but everything was so distant to her senses she was almost certain she dreamed it.
When a black hand closes over her face she was wondering if it was hell which will be calling to her.
In another context she was right.
Something slipped down her throat viscous, warm, and… blood.
Her wits returned to her and her chains were brought slack. She fell like a limp sack on the ground much of her broken bones made a sound like a twig snapping that was layered in sap. Wet but sharp and gritty; she would make a long grunting noise when they’d snap and poke in the wrong directions. It was excruciating and it didn’t get much better when the blood rushed to her head a bit better.
She wiped her mouth on the floor and saw the remains of Black Blood smear on the ground.
“You… Witch!” She snarled at her full blooded kin.
They shared the same bearer. The woman was talented in her Poisoning Ki. Tactics of conquering planets can have a great many variations. That woman became a quick favorite when the Viscount found her. One taste of her poison in his drink and he knew he wanted her.
Glace had a couple more full bloods. She had to face each one eventually. However not even they were people she claimed in relation. In no way will you ever hear her call them brother, sister, mother, father. All relations were categorized as Bore, Bare, full relation or full blood, half relation or half blood. Also the other brides were noted as the individual Bloodlines or broods they relate to.
Usually when Glace mentions the one that Bore her it’s usually the Viscount Frore. The Bearer that carried her would usually be referring to hers and Icee’s biological mother, Brisk. I’ve had two elder full bloods named Borean and Fract. Everyone else was a Half Blooded relation separate from Brisk’s Bloodline.
Snu, Shiv, and Subzro were Kin from another blood line. Snu is the youngest of them all. Glace is actually in the near middle. However it seems Breez was skipped. Of all Jin she felt he would have jumped at the chance to flay her open, but maybe he didn’t accept the summons.
Seconds after that foul blood entered her body Glace felt it race throughout her. It burrowed violently into every fiber of her broken body.
She was already twitching trying to hide the growing pain she was suffering from.
“Hm…” Icee would smile pleased with herself and lick the wound she made to infect Glace with her Blood. “You were always such a rebel… to think there was a time where you were looked at in higher favor than me. I dipped my hands in so much poison to trigger mother’s blood Ki early to get ahead. Turns out it paid off.”
“You dipped your hands in literal shit.” Glace mocked. “You’re filthy and you’re weak.”
Icee lost her smile and looked at her sister twisted like a writhing pretzel. Icee could see her full jaw chatter from the pain even behind tight lips.
The smile that grew on her face.
“I don’t need your Validation… your points of view are to make up for your lack of skill.” Icee gave Glace a sidewards glance as she turned herself to the side and crossed elegant arms bringing one to her chin in alluring arrogance. “Our kind uses all forms of combative expression to conquer our foes. This includes the sleight of hand.”
She shrugs and chuckles. “But sadly you constantly want to face those who you hate. I remember at the Eldest’s celebration of his fifth planet…”
Glace’s skin was beginning to poke and stretch as the blood began to tear her apart and stain her insides. It was reacting to her Ki. Just plain living was enough for this blood to become violent. It was as if Glace and Icee were having a battle in her own skin.
“You were stabbed in the back by a rivaling family… with the blade still in your back you cornered them spouting how you wished them to try that again to your face.” She laughed a very hearty condescending set before toning it down. “It was such a lovely Dress they ruined. But you want them to face you when they want to kill you because you didn’t see them coming and it was your own fault.”
Icee would turn to leave. Glace could no longer hold back the pain from her throat. And screams filled the cold halls for a brief moment when Icee opens the door and closes it again.
Black spots began to stain Glace’s skin she was being painted black from the inside out. Her body full on feeling waves after waves of power. Skin ripping from flesh, Flesh ripping from bone, and bone ripping from tendons. Everything was coming undone within her. It would not stop for weeks. She would have this lasting effect on her body that prevented her from using her own Ki while making other Ki attacks far more painful to bare.

*Advisory More gore and torture.
Elder brother: Hypor
Glace could hear a familiar awful noise as she drifted on the edge of life and death. The noise that came from the door drew her will to live and grounded her to know if she would be spared a horrible visit to hell.
The door opened and the shock from the half blooded kin that entered was vocal. His response was to exit and take a moment as he repulsed and found the strength to keep his breakfast down.
Glace was blackened from head to toe as well as inside and out. Nothing was attached she was practically liquified in her body. Even her skin was slack on its surface.
It rippled and stabbed occasionally but otherwise she could not move.
The return of the body made her realize who it was even if she could not see them. Her eyes might have fallen out of their sockets. She was unsure above the pain but maybe they had been dangling from their sockets entirely.
“I’ll never get used to the effects of Brisk and Icee’s Ki.” Hypor would press on the controls to manipulate his sister to a more suspended laid position. Brought it low to the ground and pulled into the room a chair. “I’ve always got to come and heal the after effects to help continue interrogations. It’s never pretty… but if any other race had this much extensive influence of it… they’d be dead. Good thing we are superior in that respect.”
“Hy…por…” Glace exhaled no real sound came out but her words tried to express herself. The blood attacked her jaw in this moment causing it to crack and unhinge in that very instant. The pop, tear, rippling in her cheeks would make this promptly noted.
“Oh… some functionality in your physical state remains intact… for now.” He acknowledged with a nod. Otherwise his expression was blank. “Do you want to claim the privilege of Mercy?”
“Nuh…” she hissed and coughed a gurgling noise from the fluids within her body that gathered at her throat.
“Your such an Savage Imp… I’ll start putting you back together technically this is both my pass at punishing you as well as preparing you between others. And it’s not going to be pleasant or kind…” he paused a moment clearly forming a thought. “Or swift, the blood Ki will fight violently against my healing but my energies are stronger. This is my task… the siblings will petition Father to have you healed either when you’ve been rendered unrecognizable or unresponsive or when they want to have you freshly healed.”
He started his work and it was true that his cold healing Ki was powerful but the blood reacting to it did its best to undo his diligence. He would not tell anyone how he came across this skill and wouldn’t teach it to anyone that asked either. Advantages like this are coveted to keep their advantage. Like Chi, Breez and Chi both full bloods in a separate blood line from Glace went away and found some way to get tremendously stronger. Chi’s way apparently was more effective than whatever Breez did. It ate some of the other bloods to pieces with Jealousy. Hypor was especially treasured by the Viscount between he and Junior there were very little who rivaled his prized first and second born children in favor.
Spikes of blood ripped her insides and freshly healed parts found new wounds to inflict. It was rejecting his power to the point of attacking him on occasion. Needle like spikes formed and stabbed his hands. He was unfazed. He was indeed tenfold stronger than Icee.
Now of their broods Hypor was half blood to Glace but he might have been one of the ones she hated the least. There was a phrase which went “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” That rang true from the prestigious healer because even saying something cross to Hypor earned a few cuts. And he was not sneaky about it.
She insulted him out about how he took care of a wound she had been given in a training session. He told her to be respectful and broke her arm because only the strong have earned the right to talk down to “Savage Imps”.
He might not have been combative but he was not against it he just was strong enough to have to not prove it.
She respected that, she wanted that.
If she could scream she would be except her body was thrashing and twitching uncontrollably. Her insides were freezing and being violently ripped apart again and again.
Blood and fluids bubbled out of her throat, nose, ears, and eyes.
This took hours and eventually she was formed and whole in herself. She had her vision returned and her voice restored.
He left to clean his hands and restored her shackled position upright and vertically.
“The blood will undo my hard work… don’t transform or use Ki if you want to last longer.” He stated. “I’ll be back when you are deemed ‘unfit for more’… I’m sure it will be very soon.”

*Advisory:Drug use, Torture and Gore
Younger brother: Breez
The door opens today and she is greeted with a large smile and a large half blooded kin.
His laughter vibrates the walls and pierced her ears. “Glace! I got here as soon as I could.”
“I bet you did, Breez, but you’re late.” She grimaced.
“I would have been here sooner and just waited in line but I was on a fantastic Honeymoon, lamenting how Father had yet to give me a wedding present.. but now here I see… he was waiting for it to be prepared.” He unhooked from his belt a set of whips which were of a special make. The were teethed and drenched with oil.
Breez and Glace have had a long running relationship of absolute toxicity. He has been humiliated by her, publicly defeated, and made an example of punishment by weakness since he was brought on the training floor. Between Snu and Breez these two were younger than She and have already taken up a viscount owned planet respectively. The only ones left without a planet was Glace and the twins; Celsi and Fahren. They were days away from meeting the same fate she was almost forced into before her treacherous act. It is likely instead of sending Glace they sent the twins to take her place.
Then he came back after going away for a while and had made every length and attempt to pay her back. She and everyone knew it was a matter of fun that she’d deny him the satisfaction.
He was far bigger, much stronger, more ruthless now. He’s had three bannermen daughters as wives… all died after making him angry. He won’t tell anyone where he went or what he did but all that made it to where this definitely wasn’t going to be pleasant. She was not the youngest but she was falling behind in weakness. Coming to this realization now that she was at the mercy of this tyrant made her sick to her stomach.
He clenched the hilt of his weapons and smiled maddeningly. “Finally after all these years… you tripped over your own feet and I’m going to balance the scales.”
A whip was flicked and her throat was razored away in an instant. Blood sprayed before her and her noises were nothing but gurgles and bubbles.
“Oops… Now if you cry for Mercy… I won’t know.” He laughed and finally closed the door behind him.”Also I won’t have to hear that cheap wit your Bloodline is famous for.”
He was right about that. From Icee, Glace, Borean, and Fract, all developed Brisk’s eloquent way with insults and snide. They were a snarky bunch it was how they showed affection and their hate.
When the whips made contact they wrapped the surface of the skin and hooked in. When they were pulled back it shredded the flesh and took much of it with its retreat. The oil was to make sure it remained slick it also added a great amount of weight to them, hitting harder and being more flexible. Her body would bleed on the floor and bits of her flesh would fly with every other swing. She was looking like she would be swarmed by carnivorous fish in water.
She won’t satisfy him with a grunt or a scream.
She wasn’t completely still, the pain was great. She hissed and her face contorted. But she could see the anger rise in his body and face. It wasn’t enough for him. He was the one who razored her throat away and yet he wanted to see her cry in agony.
He struck her harder and harder.
“Let me see your pain!” He demanded. Some of his swings would get stuck and he would have to use much more force to tear them off her. Breaking and dislocating more parts as he did so. At some points it would wrap over her shoulder and around her back to flick up and sink into her ribs. This was one of the harder moments. It had to tear through so much bone. She was pulled and twisted until it came undone. Which so much would break or be cut off. Full strips of flesh was peeled and shredded away from her surface.
Glace instead… forced a smile. She saw every blow come and steeled herself for it. She bit her tongue and cheeks. Her eyes closed some times and squinted from the abuse but she would return them back to looking at him with a falsely undefeated expression.
She smiled to see his annoyance played his game and was winning. Oh how they both loved winning and the fact she was in pain and suffering greatly at his hands was a small price to pay. To ignore enough of it that her concentration gave him no face to react. He would get no satisfaction and she would win with very little effort.
He paused with anger in his gaze. Glace watched him pull something from a pocket on a belt he wore and shove it down his throat. In seconds his Ki ignited violently and his body veined hard.
Glace had widened her gaze with realization. He took enhancements to make the leap he needed! He didn’t go away to get stronger he found a drug that enhanced his strength!
He cracked the whip across her face and ripped open her cheek breaking her jaw making it go slack to one side. Then he did it to the other. And her gaze flicked with the pain but she would shed no tear.
“Go ahead smile now! Give me a reason to take your whole jaw off!” He goaded.
Icing on the cake now was simply acting like it didn’t bother her much. She was bluffing so hard to make him believe this game. She changed her face to look at him with an expression of condescended pity to her eye. Wider eyes and brow creased with upturned curves she tilted her head back and looked down on him. Taking pills to gain an advantage. What a weakness, what a pitiful spineless shit. He was absolutely worthless. Purely an embarrassment to their race.
He began to roar angrily his whips were raised to deal some serious blows. He might ended up killing her despite instructions from the viscount. She was being destroyed in a garbage disposal with no escape.
This continues until she felt him slow. His enhancement didn’t last very long it seemed.
She watched him about to take another and her expression almost faltered.
For Glace and her sake the door opened and everything paused. Breez’s hand tucked away his pill, there’s no way to tell if the one that entered noticed.
“You’re out of time Breez.” A voice spoke before entering. Which was strangely bullshit because there was not exactly a time limit as far as she knew. Not like she could tell the passing of a minute in a place like this. Time was definitely an illusion in this dungeon.
The Eldest, Frore Frees Jr. entered the room and everything Froze in place and the power from him made his general vicinity feel like a cave with miles and miles of mountains above it. The pressure was deadly but peaceful until you realized the might that could come down upon you. He was a glistening and elegant man one of the more attractive siblings but also the most powerful. His stature was cut and fit like a sculpture.
“Eldest…” Breez lowered his arms and stepped aside still hyper pulsing and muscles twitching from the fading effects of his previous dose.
Glace watched Junior approach. He looked in her mouth and a firm hand grabbed her jaw shoved it back in. Place with a firm snap. Her blood soaked his pristine white skin as it trailed down his arm. He didn’t seem to care about the mess it was creating.
He looked at her and there was a strong sense of fear in her gaze. He noticed and raised a high brow at her reaction.
“You’ve got a lot of us coming to line up for their chances before I get mine… if you are worried about my hands… then call for mercy.” He suggested with a wide smile.
She jerked from his hand and shook her head. The fear she felt would be swallowed by her renewed hate.
He nodded her resolve and turned to put a hand on his younger brother if he could tell Breez wasn’t himself then he wasn’t calling attention to it. “Breez, let’s go have a drink… sorry I missed the wedding but I have a gift this time!” They’d see their way out and the room was silent again.
