The Woman Under a Cruel Raven's Geas [closed RP]
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 12:44 am
((This is closed RP of Karen Atrum Tiigeress recalling information about her geas given to her by a being known as Everenos whom I RP as a large magic-using raven on the physical plane, but a man in the dream world. Please do not post. Thank you.))
I lie here on my deathbed, in my parents' house on the mainland. I think Death will come for me soon. I only wish I had gotten to spend more time with my love, William. I pray...
A large raven suddenly manifests out of nowhere. It stands about a foot tall and has a two-foot wing span. It eyes me hungrily.
"Please don't try to eat me yet Mr.Raven..." I said wearily.
"I will not eat you, Karen. I am merely here to offer you a deal." the raven said in a deep voice.
"You...speak?" I asked, bewildered and certain I was hallucinating.
"Yes...I am Everenos, a being of great importance from the Dream World. I come with an offer to let you live..." Everenos said.
"What is your offer?" I asked.
"Serve me under a geas and I will cure you of your illness." Everenos said.
I thought about it, and decided to go under the geas. Immediately I was transported from my deathbed to a strange plane, one that changed colors and had oscillating patterns all around. Everenos was seemingly gone, but there was a man with white skin, purple eyes, and hair that changed color with the patterns. He was garbed in robes made from leather and raven feathers, wore a necklace made of purple stones, and had in his hands a quiver full of black roses, and a white mask with black diamond eyes and a red smile.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Everenos. Let's discuss the conditions of your geas." he said as a contract manifested in front of me. I grabbed it and read it...
Goals
1.Survive combat against a mage for more than three blows.
2.Learn Runic Magic
3.Give out 20 Black Roses
4.Master Twin Dagger Fighting
5.Kill a wanted bandit and burn something of theirs, preferably an organ, like the heart, as a sacrifice to Everenos.
Condiitons
1.Only weapons useable are spoons, daggers, and hatchets.
2.Do not learn about religion
3.Refrain from showing major emotions.
4.Reveal the first goal only to a mage under a full moon during the fog.
5.Wear the mask most of the time.
6.Do no physical training with anyone other than sparring.
7.Perform prestidigitation with whatever is available.
8.Allow Everenos to take physical control at any time.
I looked at Everenos after this and started to speak, but before I could he said something that sealed the deal.
"Did I mention that if you don't accept, you will die immediately after you leave this plane, and be forced to be a wandering soul forever?" said Everenos with a sinister grin.
I gulped, and reluctantly agreed to be put under the geas. Everenos handed me the mask and quiver of black roses. As I grabbed them, I felt a million hooks digging into my soul, and saw my skin becoming pale, along with my hair turning black.
"There's also a condition if you wish to return to Gobaith..." said Everenos with a perverse grin.
I read the fine print of the contract...It said I had to have sex with Everenos whenever he wished it.
"No way! I have to sleep with you?!" I exclaimed.
"Yes. And you have no choice if you want to return to Gobaith." said Everenos.
I was silent for several minutes, after which I reluctantly agreed.
"Good. After your four years of training, you will submit." Everenos said with a perverse smile.
After this, I was allowed to rest for a day in a room that was rather luxurious, but then rigorous training began. First was basic dagger handling. Then how to use the Black Rose Quiver, along with prestidigitation with black roses and other things. I became good at throwing roses like darts, and could hit my target nine times out of ten.
However, next came a horrible thing to do that I don't regret...I had to kill my emotions. Happiness, Anger, Sadness, Love, Fear...All of those emotions had to die. I was allowed to keep Amusement, Pleasure, Pain, and Hunger. The others were killed with a month of rituals per emotion. This included all feelings of love for my parents, and for William.
Then came something useful. I was taught how to cook basic things. I am pretty good at making sausages.
All of this was done in one year. The next three were spent repeating the training and becoming adept at prestidigitation and rose throwing.
Finally, on the last day of training, before going to Gobaith, I was told to submit sexually to Everenos. After it was over, I didn't know if I wanted to cry, laugh, or ask for more like some deviant. I was that confused.
I left the next day and arrived in Gobaith via a portal from the Dream World to Trollsbane. But before, Everenos delivered a message to William. Later I found out that he has moved on, and is with an elfess named Starling. I truly cannot tell if I feel jealous or anything else for that matter. All I know is I should move on and complete my geas, for if I don't do so in 12 years, I will die. Then again, if I breach my contract, Everenos will kill me with a single thought. I think.
