Sequoia Coast The Journey of the Lost

 "Oh, I wouldn't thank me just yet, after all this is just the beginning of your punishment." ,"Those wounds will hurt whenever you move and there will be others soon, decorating your dark body."

Raven flinched, not only at the prod, but at the words as well. More? There would be more? Just the thought alone, sent her heart into a frenzy. Yet if she could take this experience snd apply it to the next times her punishment was due, she could handle them. After all, the first day was the worst, was it not? After he told her to lay for sleep, Raven did. She wss thoroughly drained. Yet he spoke again to her.

"You have chose to stay with me, you will work and serve me, offer me the respect I deserve and in return I will protect you." 

With that, he vanished before she could even remotely return a "Bua Nocta" to him, his snow white coat as imperceptible as if it were as obsidian as hers. She had so much to think up on. However the drama of the day overtook her, so she lowered her head, whispered a quick prayer to her Goddess, amd drifted to sleep.
