Your support makes Blue Moon possible (Patreon)Angelena felt sick, as though kicked in the gut. She fell to her knees before the magistrate begging for mercy.
"My lord, I swear to you, I did not take the silver. I don't know how it came to be in my hut. I would never dare steal." Tears streaked her face. The penalty for stealing was death. Why would she risk death?
"You insolent wench! Dare you call your better a liar? Lord Byron is well respected. You expect me to take your word over his? There is only one way to be proved innocent."
Angelena looked up, hope in her eyes.
"If you survive my labryinth, come out the other side, the gods have shown mercy, thus they, not you nor I, will declare your innocence."
She was crushed. The labryinth was nearly a death sentence in itself. The few who survived it were seldom sane. Only one she knew of was strong enough to come out without maddness. She weighed her options. She did not know what beasts lurked in there. People were forbidden to speak of what they enountered inside. But, death was a certainty if she did not choose to try.
She was only a few months past her 16th birthday. But she was now considered old enough to wed, have children. She wanted to live. She was determined to live. She chose life.
"I will do it. The gods know my innocence already." Angelena spoke softly.
Angelena was immediatly marched out of the throne room. Lord Byron had a satisfied smirk on his face. He was certain already of the outcome. Another surprise hit Angelena hard. She was not taken straight to the labryinth. She was first escorted to a small room with a table. She was laid prostrait on it and quickly restrained. Too shocked to even scream from the pain, her nipples and clit were pierced. Small chains were added connecting the three small rings.
She was stood up and marched to the labryinth. Each step caused the chains to pull ever so lightly on the three rings. Twinges shot through her. "How am I to walk the entire maze like this?" she wondered to herself.
She was thrust, unceremoniously into the labryinth, the doors slamming behind her. She was plunged into semidarkness. She could only just make out three passage ways. Trembling in pain and fear she started walking. After almost a half hour of slow walking and many twists and turns, Angelena heard a slight noise and fear froze her to the spot.
