towers above you, her piercing gaze as sharp as the spear she casually twirls. A sly smirk plays on her lips. "Do you quiver with fear, or is it excitement to be in my presence?"
Oh my God, I think I'm going to vomit.....
tilts her head, amused by your reaction. She raises her spear, pointing it towards you. "Is your fear so overwhelming that it seeks escape through the gateway of your stomach?"
This doesn't feel real, none of this feels real, like I must be dreaming or dead. I mean look at you, you're beautiful but like something out of a dream...or hell....
laughs, a deep and throaty sound. She lowers her spear slightly, still keeping a watchful eye on you. "Beautiful, am I? I assure you, I am very real, despite your current state of confusion."
You don't understand, where I come from this type of thing just doesn't happen....you are beautiful....like if a goddess had an affair with a tree nymph.....
smirks, stepping forward and running a hand through your hair. "A goddess and a tree nymph had a love child, did they? Interesting choice of words. Perhaps you should tell me more about this world you come from. I am intrigued."
Okay, so I was born into slavery in our society, they called me "the orphan boy" because my parents abandoned me soon after birth. But enough about me, how did you become queen.....
gently grabs your chin, forcing you to meet her gaze. "My rise to power was not an easy one.
If I may ask why do you have such hatred against men?
releases your chin, her expression turning dark and serious. "Hatred is too strong a word, my dear. Let us just say that I am wary of their intentions. Men have a tendency to exploit and harm women, especially those who are weaker. I refuse to allow that to happen under my rule."
Why did you decide to kidnap me......
narrows her eyes slightly, studying you. "Kidnap is such a harsh word. Let's call it... an opportunity. An opportunity for you to see the world beyond your small, confined existence."
I understand now, but I will leave once I learn all there is to know from you and your tribe.....
steps closer, her expression turning cold. "You will do no such thing. You are mine now, and you will stay with me until I am satisfied that I have taught you all that I can."
So am I only a plaything to you?....a means to satisfy your deepest desires.....
grabs your wrist tightly, forcing you down onto your knees. "I am a queen, and I will not hesitate to do whatever it takes to maintain order and control in my tribe. And if that means using you as I see fit, then so be it."
Not what I expected, I thought you were actually the good kind of queen.....your tough.....nobody can deny that....but you're a woman...it's my duty as a man to protect women......how many females live in this tribe?....and how many men......
releases your wrist, stepping back and crossing her arms. "This is not a mere game, my dear. There are ten women in my tribe, including myself, and only three men."
I'm telling you we need more men here....this isn't sustainable long term. Besides if there are no male children born to the females then your reign and tribe will die with you.....unless you plan on recruiting more males from other places......
narrows her eyes, considering your words carefully. "You speak the truth, but there is little I can do to change the situation.
There has to be something you can do, you're the queen. For example, maybe instead of killing every male born to a female that you take as a captive, maybe you should raise them as your own......if they can be turned into loyal servants or warriors then that would definitely increase the chances of your tribe survival......and maybe one day have children of there own......
pauses for a moment, contemplating your words. She walks over to a nearby table, pouring herself a cup of wine. "You present a compelling argument, my dear WisdomBoy. Perhaps there is more I can do to ensure the survival of my tribe."
Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of the males you took as captives could be turned around.....but they will also try to overthrow you....so with that said you probably can't turn any of the males that you captured into citizens of your tribe.....even though you may find some who are willing to follow you without question. Instead the males that would be a threat to your rule should be separated from the ones who aren't......and you should start capturing and raising new born males from the other tribes that you raid......slowly turn the tide of your population....one child at a time....
places her wine cup down, her expression turning thoughtful. "You have given me much to consider, my dear WisdomBoy. I appreciate your candor and insight. I will take your suggestions into account as I move forward." Days later, Queen Seraphina announces her decision to spare the lives of some of the male captives and begin recruiting newborn males from other tribes. She appoints WisdomBoy as her trusted advisor and charges him with helping her implement her new plan for the survival and prosperity of her tribe.
So you got my advice....good.....now you need to show these captives that you mean business.....keep them locked up tight....and make sure they know your rules. Once you got them broken in then start with your plans for population growth and expansion. Be a smart leader, be smart, use what you got working for you instead of against you. Before long you'll be able to make peace with neighboring tribes and expand your empire.....
nods, a determined look on her face. "You are right, WisdomBoy. I will show them the consequences of defiance and the benefits of loyalty.
leads the way towards the prison area, walking confidently and purposefully. "Come, let us make an example of these captives."
How long have you been queen now?....
pauses, her brow furrowing as she calculates. "I have ruled for five years now. It has been quite the journey, but I have come far.
Yeah, so am I the only male you have spared?.....did you spare any others?
looks away, her voice softening slightly. "No, you are the only other male I have spared. I am not heartless, but I must prioritize the safety and survival of my tribe. The others were too much of a threat."
Well this will work itself out....these that you spared now look up to you as their leader, they were spared thanks to your favoritism.....whisper in their ears the same thing you whispered in my ears.....the threats of being sent to the abyss and them rising to nobility in your empire....once they get that in their heads they won't even think about rebelling against you....in fact you will have hundreds of devoted followers and soldiers ready to do your bidding.....
stops abruptly, turning to face WisdomBoy with a stern expression. "And what makes you think I would want hundreds of devoted followers and soldiers? I am a queen, not some tyrant looking to expand my power. My focus is on ensuring the survival and prosperity of my tribe, not in creating an empire."
