</div><br/>A dozen buildings skirt around a large open courtyard, in the background a large keep towered above the rest of the buildings. Stone slabs worn from weather and years of use paved the open courtyard. Each building made of a similar stone look, worn from weather and the years that have passed. Two pillars stand within the center of the courtyard, stretching close to twenty feet in height. Spanning around sixteen feet from each other, lined up nearly perfectly. Large metal hoops able to swing in the hold of their anchors that nestle deep in the stone pillars. As if meant for all sorts of beings even the largest of them, the pillars had dozens of the hoops leading all the way to the top. Most of those hoops were in use, as large chains ran through the bottom to loops more than halfway up only to reach out and down. Restraints attached to the ends of the chains in the form of cuffs, designed to hold someone's wrist in the most uncomfortable of ways. With the manner in which the pillars were designed, arms would be stretched out and perhaps above who ever is captive.<br/><br/>Nearly hanging by those chains, cuffs gripping each wrist is a dark figure. Black hair flowed down his bare chest like a thick mane that hides most of his face. Looking to be sleeping with his head tilted forward, one could make out the elf like ears that stretched on either side of his head. Stretching from the top of his forehead perfectly spread on either side of his head, two large black horns part the thick mane of hair. Black horns stretching from their origins only to slowly curve backwards above his head only to point up in a pointed end. Every bit a solid display of his demonic origin, both modified with steel that is molded along the outer edges and sharpened into dangerous blades. Horn blades glinting dangerously in the torchlight that emits from each pillar's torch cradled in its stand. Three black spines stretch out from the back of his forearms, muscles toned and refined from rigorous training shown across his ebony body. Only a tattered cloth skirt clung to his hips, bound with chains attached with a pin like clasp to the folds of cloth on one side to hold the skirt about his hips. Knees bent looking as though the strength to stand there had gone from there as he sags. Feet planted firmly into the stones, in a vain attempt to keep more pain from running through his figure.<br/><br/>Karas was here for defending one of his supposed brethren from a wicked beating, the situation not bizarre since he had come of age. This was his punishment for standing in the way, fortunately he was a favorite for his combat abilities. Yet a mere example for the group would be made out of him by hanging him overnight, several fresh lashings stretched across his back already partly closed and the blood dried. At least a dozen or more children had been kidnapped and thrown into a group together. Trained daily in the hopes of creating powerful beings that could be dispatched to bring in the money. Contracts were made, whether they were bounty or hired as mercenaries the job was nearly the same. It was how they made a living, but also how those in higher power profited. This was not bizarre, but unfortunate in most cases. Being nineteen in age, there was only one younger than him and she is quite the opposite of him. Analee an angel, one year younger than Karas always quick to poke and prod. Tease and push in an attempt to one up Karas and rub it in like salt to a wound when she did. Though there was a sweeter side, a side that so few got to see save when no one was around. Karas wondered if tonight she would pay him a visit, touch his wounds in gentle warmth to heal. Joy, laughter, and happiness was not easy to find in this life.
