The Ultimate Host

Queen Ariel resided in her private gardens reading a book and having a hot cup of hazelnut tea. She turned the bag off her book and sipped some of her hazelnut tea. She started smiling. Suddnely the ground started shaking. Recently there were a lot of earthquakes. Queen Ariel walked towards the ledge and started stretching. A couple of days ago she had the walls of her private gardens destroyed so she could enjoy and oversee her kingdom. As she was enjoying the view, she heard a knock on the front door of her private gardens. Queen Ariel sighed and quickly turned around, yelling: Yes, yes come in who every you are!" The front door of the gardens slowly creaked open. A servant that carried a silver platter with pecan cookies and more hot hazelnut tea walked in with a dull look on his face. " My queen." The servant wore silk white gloves, a white dress shirt, and a vest with an all-black tie. The servant also whore black silk dress pants and leather dress shoes. Th comes with the pecan cookies and hazelnut tea you requested earlier." Sorry, I took so long." Queen Ariel was confused. " What are you talking about?" I never requested pecan cookies or more hazelnut tea. The servant then realized that she didn't request anything. " Oh!" Forgive me, my queen!" " I will leave at once. Recently Queen Ariel had been nice to everyone that came up to her. She was trying to change her ways so her enemies could stop called her The Mad Warrior Queen." She only grew mad when people annoyed and the people who were her enemies. " Wait." The servant halted as he was about to leave the gardens. " Yes, my queen?" I was craving something sweet earlier." Leave the cookies and hazelnut tea on the bench and take the rest of the day off." I'm pretty sure you've been working hard." The servant placed the silver platter of cookies and hazelnut tea on the bench and bowed. Queen Ariel could smell that the pecan cookies were freshly baked." Thank you, my queen." As matter of fact, I have." Ariel walked up to the servant and asked: " What is your name?" When I think about it this is the first time I've seen your face." Are you new?" Because I know all my servants." The servant cleared his throat and straightened his tie. As a matter of fact, I am new my queen." I got the job a couple of days ago." My name is Jones." Jones?" asked Queen Ariel. " Jones nodded. " Yes, just Jones. Jones bowed and decided to take his leave. When Queen Ariel blindly looked at the back of Jones of neck she saw the number 13 old English font form. She wondered what it meant. However, she didn't care. She had better things to think about, like the war and whether she could trust her grandfather. Lately, more and more dragons were being resurrected. The reason she didn't confront Dracul because she desperately didn't confront Dracul. She decided to leave it alone and sit on the bench. She grabbed one of the pecan cookies and sniffed it. She didn't really like pecan cookies but she could learn to. She bit a cookie in half. As soon as she bit it, it melted in her mouth. Ariel could taste the succulent flavor. She smiled and started humming. As she was about to fall asleep another earthquake started commencing. The ground started cracking up and shaking. Ariel had enough. She going to figure out what was causing these continuous earthquakes. She stood up from her bench and walked out of the gardens making her way into the hall. Many servants walked past her and greeted her with respect. As she was walking down the hall, she started hearing painful high screeching screams. She quickly followed the scream and saw a couple of slave drivers beating and torturing some slaves that managed to escape The Slave Den. The Slave Den was a huge part of the kingdom which sealed off by a giant wall and defensive mechanisms like cannons, auto-turrets, tripwires that set off bombs, electric fences, wild dogs, and much more. The slaves that escaped were father and son that looked as if they hadn't eaten in weeks. They were skinny, pale, and dirty. Queen Ariel walked into the room where the slaves were being beaten. " Stop." The soldiers who were beating the slaves felt rudely interrupted. " Who the f.u.c.k- The soldier quickly changed his words and tone of voice when he found out who said stop. " Queen Ariel!" Please forgive my words." Queen Ariel placed a serious expression on her face. " Forget it." What I want to know is what the hell is going on here. The soldier cleared his throat and started pointing at the beaten and tortured slaves. My queen, we've caught to escape slaves sneaking pastries from the kitchen!" So we've decided to punish them for escaping and thievery!" Queen Ariel walked up and looked at the father and son." Explain yourselves, slaves." The father was breathing heavily. He had been punched, kicked, and whipped. His entire face was covered in blood. " My queen... Please forgive me and my son." We were just hungry.." We haven't eaten anything for a week.." Queen Ariel rolled her eyes and said: Didn't you get your daily meal from The Slave Den?" The slave wiped the blood from his face and said: Recently another slave who calls himself The Claw has been beating up and killing slaves for their food...

The slave drivers are afraid to do anything to stop him..." " To escape The Claw's clutches, we used a ladder and then hopped over to escape.. Now here we are." Queen Ariel sucked her teeth. " I don't want to hear excuses." Are you trying to insult my intelligence?" You are just making these tall tales up to escape punishment!" The slaver eyes popped out of his head. " No my queen it's the truth!" I haven't lied in my entire life!" Queen Ariel sighed. " I'm not going to sit here and listen to this baloney." I was going to consider letting you off and freeing you as a slave because I felt sorry for you, but I'm not going to." At least not anymore." I've come to the conclusion about what's going to happen to you." But my queen it's the truth!" I swear!!!" Tch." Kill him." The soldier bowed and started smiling. The soldier walked behind the injured slave and placed his right hand over his mouth to shut him up. The soldier then pulled out his huge knife and slit his throat. Blood splattered everywhere. Queen Ariel stepped back so her expensive dress wouldn't get ruined. The slave died instantly. The slave's son broke down in tears and started crying." No!!!" The boy had to be at least 7 or 8n years old. The soldier looked over at the boy and started smiling as he cleaned his father's blood off his knife. " What shall we do with the boy, my queen?" Queen Ariel looked at the elven boy and could see that he was frightened for his life. " Leave him." Take him to my chambers and make sure he is clean, feed, and given fresh clothes. The other soldier to the side bowed and dragged the elven boy to Queen Ariel's chambers. The boy was screaming like a siren. Queen Ariel looked on the ground at the dead slave's body and said: " Oh and dispose of this liar's body and clean this blood off the ground." Yes, my queen." Queen Ariel walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. The idea of her investigating the cause of the earthquakes slipped through her mind.

Inside Queen Ariel's Chambers..

The soldier had the slave child on his soldier. The child was squirming like a worm. " Stop moving you little shit!" You are giving me the goosebumps doing that shit!" The soldier kicked open Queen Ariel's chambers and tossed the child on Ariel's bed. Now sit down and behave!" The child wiped the tears from his eyes and deeply stared at the soldier. " The soldier picked up a silver platter and started picking up any type of food he could find. He mostly picked fruits and candy. The soldier carried the food to the child and said: Here." There's some food." The child refused to take the food. " What aren't you hungry?" I thought that liar of a father of yours said you and him hadn't eaten in a week. The soldier suddenly noticed the hate in the child's eyes. What a minute." Oh." That's why you don't want to eat." Because you saw me kill your father?" Tch." One less piece of stinking trash to deal with." You know kid I've killed hundreds of children." Don't tempt me." Your lucky Queen Ariel was there to save your ass." Because if she wasn't I would kill you minutes after." The soldier faked a punch after the child and leaned towards him with an evil smile on his face. The child didn't flinch or jump once. All that was on his mind was hate." Tch." I guess next time right?" The soldier was about to spit the child's face. But before that could happen, the kid leaped towards the soldier and ripped off a chunk of his left ear. " Argh!!!!" You f.u.c.k.i.n.g little shit!" I'll kill you!" The child spat the chunk of ear out of his mouth and crossed his arms, waiting for the soldier to do something. The soldier was started to get scared. The soldier quickly turned around and ran out of the room and slammed the door hard behind his back. The child used the silk sheets to remove the blood from his mouth. The child then grabbed some gr.a.p.es and walked into the bathroom and undressed from his rags and hopped into the shower, turning the hot water on. On the child's back, he had whiplash scars. Horrible whiplash scars.
