A well-known city cannot simply drop off the face of the earth...can it?
A well known, and popular trade capital has had a very sudden decline, all due to a new king. Or so the people thought. The first few months of this man's rule went well, with a flourishing city, becoming richer by the hour due to the trading of its people and their goods with outsiders. This city was a safe-haven for most, full of peace and life, then things began to change. Slowly, almost un-noticeable, The people saw more of the King's guards roaming the streets, the city's rules being enforced more strictly and the punishments for simple crimes becoming extreme what would once result in a fine now resulted in the person being taken away never to be seen again. Then...people were starting to disappear even those who had committed no crime whatsoever. One by one the population of this once grand city vanished. The townspeople had been forcibly located underground, into a system of caverns, forced to become the king's slaves. Forced to mine deep into the earth for valuable resources, that had no use to the people who had once lived above ground in prosperity. These once-happy people have been isolated from everything and everyone, they haven't seen sunlight in ten years. But all of a sudden there have been rumors of a rebellion among the younger workers, but will it be successful? will they be able to overthrow the king? Or will they forever be left underground?

While no one is allowed to leave the caverns one small group of people are allowed they are the females who are able to dance this small group is very special as they have to pass a surprising number of tests just to be accepted into the group let alone allowed to dance for the king and his people. the day before a performance the women are pulled from the mines and taken to shower and prepare for the command performance while under extreme guard so that no one can escape. these females all dread going above ground as not everyone returns right away occasionally one or two of the females will be called away to do a 'private performance' for the king and his head general. Sometimes it is simply overnight they are gone, or it is one or two days but sometimes the girls never return and no one ever hears from them again

Beneath the city near the very back of one of the twisting mine tunnels was a large room filled with women of all ages who were sitting and chipping away at the precious stones on their tables that they were to have cut and polished by the night's end. One of these ladies was one of the king's dancers these women were the only ones who can leave the tunnels and they only did so when called upon by the king or the head general. Abby groaned when two guards walked into her workspace as she knew what it meant, there was another command performance the next day and all of the king's dance troop was being called top side. Abby knew better than to fight with them as the first time she had she had been beaten rather badly and hadn't been able to dance like she had been called to do. Abby finished her work and then stood up and followed them to the landing where they would be gathered before being taken top side. Abby looked at the others there and they were all scared and she could see it in their faces. Out of all of them, Abby had the most unique coloring as she had tanned skin as if she spent every day in the sun but her hair was pale platinum blonde with the tips of her hair being a deep midnight blue. Abby was also the oldest member of the troop as all of the others were younger and they all aged 18-19 years old while Abby was in her early 20s.

Up in the castle stood the head general Grant, he was waiting with his king as the commanders were coming to give their reports on the most recent snuffing out of rebels. While they hadn't been able to find the leader they all felt as if they were getting close to finding out who the leader was, if not being able to catch them but Grant highly doubted them as they had been saying the same thing for some time at this point. Grant looked over at his king and nodded alerting him without speaking that those who didn't do their fair amount of work would be punished and severely at that once the meeting was over. Grant was the most brutal of the generals but also the most loyal to the king so he had complete access and no one worried about him betraying the king. Grant looked over when a maid came over to serve the king his drink of choice while the commanders were giving their reports.
 
The city had once been flourishing with bright and happy people - but then everything started to change after a new king rose to power. The people just started to disappear one by one and before everybody knew it they were being forced underground, forced into the bowels of the earth. Their task was to mine valuables and materials, never to see the light of day again. At least most aren't allowed to leave the mines - until you meet the troupe of dancers that had gone through vigorous training and a number of tests just to become a dancer. And while becoming a dancer was simple enough - it was a different story to be accepted into the group that was allowed to go above ground at the summons of the king. Most of the woman dreaded being summoned above ground; which had others question why they had decided to become a dancer in the first place if they knew what was going to happen. There had been some that were apart of the troupe that had intentionally crippled themselves permanently so that they didn't ever have to go above again. Then there were others that just disappeared deeper into the mines, just seeming to disappear out of mind.

Amongst the dancers was a woman with jet black hair that was tied into a tight ponytail and a pair of piercing emerald green eyes. She was standing with a hand on her hip just looking towards the guards that had come down to gather them all. No while many of the other woman seemed to dread going above, dreaded being called to dance.... she had stopped caring. She had learned that it was just better to stop caring about it. The only way to get out of it was to cripple yourself permanently, die, or get chosen to become the "wife" of one of the many men aboveground that would seek their attention. She was perhaps the only one that wasn't afraid at that point in time - yet that was perhaps while she wasn't the oldest in age amongst the dancers... she was the one who had been doing it the longest. Caera was only nineteen years old but she had been apart of the dance troupe since she was fourteen years old - having been raised by some of the former members. Obviously she had never gone above ground, at least not until she was sixteen is when she was first allowed aboveground with the troupe. And at first she had been afraid - but as time went by she had grown use to it. Now she was one of the few that was more excited to go aboveground... it was a break from the darkness and the caves.
 
Grant looked over when the dancers walked into the room one by one and he made sure to be close to the king in case the man took an interest in any of the dancers. unless the king said otherwise the dancers were never touched by anyone other than the king. Grant then turned to watch the dancers perform for the evening. Abby looked around the room they were directed to. Abby had changed into a light blue dress and she felt exposed wearing it but knew she needed to look good for the performance
 
Hayden, who had risen up as the king a number of years ago, actually hadn't been the king that had made the once flourishing city seem to disappear - in fact that had been his father, and he had more or less grown up to be like his father. His eyes were just watching the dancers as that point in time as they were lead into the room one at a time before he was stating, "You will all go and shower tonight, and sleep comfortable. Food will be brought to you shortly. Tomorrow you will be performing for us; so be sure to rest tonight... and not be trying to escape." The last part was directed towards a few young ladies in particular who would always trying to escape - every single time they came above ground.
 
Abby looked at the king and nodded she knew trying to escape would not be a good thing. Abby then followed the guard to see where they would be staying for the night as it seemed to change all the time. while Abby walked off with the other dancers Grant looked at Hayden and spoke "would you like to go and see the prisoners my king" Grant had found several rebellion members and he had brought them to the castle to be tortured and interrogated
 
The guards were leading them away towards the large chamber that they would use for the night. Already there seemed to be a couple of dancers that were already thinking about trying to escape - despite the warning that had been given. Caera was actually giving a small sigh when she saw what some of them were thinking before she was commenting, "Not a good idea. I wouldn't even consider it." With that she was just walking into the room and they were all ordered to shower - and it seemed like there were outfits that had been laid out for all of them to look through - to decide what they were wanting to wear. Of course they were more risque outfits - which some of the girls weren't fond of wearing at all. Caera really didn't care and usually took whatever was left - which was usually one of the least covering outfits but she was confident in her body. She felt no need to hide herself at all.

Hayden was looking towards Grant before he was giving a nod of his head before he spoke, "Lets go and see what we can learn." There were a couple of the dancers that always seemed to tweak his interest. One of the one was the more tanned young woman with the light hair - more because of the coloring that she had, it was as though she spent every day in the sun. Then there was one of the dark haired females that always seemed so relaxed when she came up above - never seemed nervous or afraid unlike all of the other woman.
 
Abby walked over to Caera and spoke "they are going to get us all in trouble" Abby had already showered and her hair was laying damp against her back. Abby looked at the girls who were thinking of trying to escape and shook her head as she knew it wasn't going to end well if they tried something after the king had told them not too. Abby had already picked her dress for the next day and she was looking to see where she would lay down and sleep for the night. Abby knew that they would be up bright and early practicing so that their routines here perfect for the king if only to avoid angering the man.

Grant walked with Hayden to the dungeons so that they could try and learn who the leader was of the rebellion. Grant wanted to wipe the whole rebellion out as an example to people on what would happen if someone did try to over throw the king and take over but until they had the leader there was little that they could do besides continue to hunt for them.
 
Caera was just looking towards Abby for a moment in time before she was nodding her head before looking towards some of the other girls before she was speaking in a sharp voice, "Go and shower. Now. We don't have the time to dilly dally." This had a few of them scurrying off so that they could go and shower, not wanting to piss anybody else at that point in time. Some of them almost seemed to be more afraid of Caera at that point in time, the woman standing with a hand on her hip. Much like Abby she had already showered, and was now watching as all of the others went to get showered.

Hayden was just wandering down into the dungeons to where the rebel prisoners that were locked up at that point in time. Although so far when they had been trying to get the rebels to speak to them, they weren't getting much for answers at all. They were being stubborn that was for sure.
 
Abby watched as the others finally went and showered before she went and claimed where she was going to sleep for the night "they are going to get us all in trouble." Abby didn't like dancing of the king but she didnt mind the shower as it helped her feel human once more.

Grant showed him the newest members of the rebellion that they had captured some were rather young and that might be the way they get some answers
 
Caera was just watching for a brief moment in time before she spoke, "Luckily not everybody will be punished but only those that try to escape." No the guards would at least keep tabs on who was stating that being stupid was a bad idea more or less. At least then they weren't going to fully get into trouble.

Hayden was looking at the members of the rebellion before he was simply stating for them to tell them what he wanted to know, and nobody would get hurt.
 
Abby nodded her head "true but still its the last thing we need right now is people being stupid and getting hurt" with so few of them as it was losing more would hamper them and make it harder to please the king .

the rebells all refused to talk but it was easy to see that there were some who with enough pushing might break down
 
Caera was giving a nod of her head before she was pushing some of her wet hair out of her face before she was going over towards the bed that she typically slept in when she was there. No there were just some of the beds - where the dancers just knew who they belonged to. While their names were on them - they were all at once. She was just going over and settling down on the bed to get a little bit of sleep. She was however warning the other girls not to be stupid at all.

Hayden was just watching for a moment before he was ordering all of them to be moved separate and to start questioning them one at a time. "Don't kill them though." was all he was saying before he was heading off to head back up.
 
Abby stayed up until all of the others were showered and resting before she went to sleep as well since she wanted to keep an eye on everyone to make sure no one tried anything.

Grant nodded and then started to direct the guards on where the men were to be taken while the king went and did as he pleased
 
The next morning came around quickly for some of the dancers, and it seemed like they had all decided that they were going to be smart and not try to escape. Some of the dancers just seemed overly tired as well - having not gotten much for sleep at all, they had been far too nervous to sleep. Caera was awake and seemed to be practicing her dance at the time - a completely new dance that nobody had seen her do before. Yet she was one of those dancers where she just kind of thought of something spur of the moment, or if there was music on she just let her body move to the music.

Abby was getting dressed for the day making sure that she brushed the knots out of her hair to that is flowed in waves around her. Abby wore a dark blue dress the hugged her curves but was loose right after her hips. Abby finished getting ready and then went to work on helping the others get ready having already practiced her dance for the day.
 
Caera was just watching the others for a moment before she was going over to help some of the others get ready for the day. With that she was looking towards them all before she spoke, "Keep calm, breath." No it was a party which meant that there were a number of grabby people - thankfully the king did have a very important rule that everybody knew to follow. While the people could do what they wanted to the dancers - they were never allowed to harm them physically. Their flesh wasn't to ever be marred by somebody - no bruises, no red marks, nothing at all.
 
Abby nodded her head "do your dance and then move so that others gan do theirs once we have all finished we will perform the group number we have been working on this should delay anything from happening and hopefully we will get sent back down below right after" Abby knew that they were nervous and she didnt know what to do to comfort them.
 
Caera was just looking towards Abby for a moment before she was giving a nod of her head then looking towards the others before she spoke, "If you need to think that it is dancing below in front of everybody down there." With that she was pushing some strands of her hair out of her face and soon enough they were heading off so that they could dance. Although thankfully push came to shove - Abby and Caera did have a number of back up dances prepared so if they had to go up more than once than so be it. The king wouldn't care, as long as the dances kept him entertained.
 
being that they were the older and most experienced Abby and Caera were usually the last to perform in front of the king since their dances were more complicated. Abby made a mental note to create a few extra dances once she was below again so that if need be she could perform longer.
 
Caera was just watching for a moment in time before she was watching as all of the other girls were going up to dance for the king and his general; although it was pretty obvious that they were nervous. And the people that were all around them probably wasn't helping at all, Caera finding herself snapping at a few men who were getting a bit handsy with some of the girls that were waiting to go up. One of the men was telling her that she had no right to speak back to him which had her just looking over before she was cooing, "And you have no right to touch any of us. The king hasn't given permission yet.... So I would keep your hands reigned in."
 
Grant watched Caera and the man she was talking to waiting to see what he would do. Grant knew that the king would only give permission when he was good and ready and if he was in a good mood. Grant figured he was in a decent mood having learned that they had caught the second in command of the rebels.
 
The night progressed smoothly enough without too much incident up until towards the end of the night. All of the dances had been done, and now the dancers were just up there for the entertainment for everybody else at that point in time. And the king had given permission for the men to go ahead and touch the dancers, being very harsh with his reminder about his rules. It was so shock that the man that Caera had talked to harshly earlier seemed to be making a beeline for her and seemed to be claiming her for the evening; although it was a bit uncomfortable with how drunk he was at the time.
 
Grant noticed that the man was drunk but had made a beeline for one of the dancers this had him narrowing his eyes as it was well known that the man couldn't control himself when drunk. but since he hadn't broken a rule there was little that Grant could do. Grant then looked at the king "my King who has caught your interest tonight I shall go and get them for you"
 
Hayden was looking towards Grant for a moment in time before he was commenting, "There are a couple of them that have caught my eye; although one of them for a different reason. That black haired woman that the drunkard is pestering right now is--- we shall say interesting. She seems less afraid out of all of the dancers that come up here - and always seems to be the one the least dressed. Confident in her body that is for sure. Otherwise... the tan skinned woman that had danced very last has me the most curious, and the most interested." With that he was actually watching the drunkard as he was wrapping a hand around the dancer's wrist and was pulling her after him - no shock at all. There were a number of men who left the room with the dancers but he was looking towards another guard before he spoke, "Follow them. I don't trust that man."
 
"I will have her brought to you my King" Grant then headed down to get Abby so that she could come and be with the king. while he didnt know what the king would do with her he knew that she had caught his attention and that was all that mattered. Abby looked at Grant when he walked over to her and when she was told that the king wanted her, she nodded her head and then followed after him to the king.
