Chapter 6

"Metrion, where did you acquire that sword?" Koriand'r inquired of the sorceress as she entered their quarters.

"Equinox," was Metrion's response, before walking over and sitting beside the Tamaranean on the couch.

Kory suddenly noticed Metrion's bandaged hands, and took the left hand in her own to examine it. "Metrion, what happened to your hands?" she asked concerned.

"Let's just say I had a run in with one of Equinox's many barbed whips." the sorceress said, then added quickly. "But I'm fine, Koriand'r. Just tired."

"Raven, how deep are these wounds?" Starfire asked, after removing the bandage on Raven's left hand.

"An inch."

"An inch?!" the Tamaranean echoed. "Raven, this is awful! Terribly, horribly, awful!"

"No, it isn't. I've been hit with whips before. When I was Slade's unwilling lackey it was daily. It's no big deal."

"But they could become infected! Or they could cripple you! Or they could kill you! Or they could!..." Starfire babbled worriedly, before Raven hushed her.

"If they do, they do. If they don't, they don't. It's not a big deal, Koriand'r. Please, stop worrying."

"These must be cleaned, and quickly." Starfire helped Raven to her feet and escorted the sorceress to the bathroom, where the Tamaranean cleaned the wounds, much to Raven's dismay... and rebandaged them. Metrion then was lead off to bed by the redhead, where she removed the sword from her waist, propped it against the wall near the bed, climbed into bed and fell asleep to the sound of Star's voice in her ear.

**********

The next day was similar to the previous except with Equinox training Metrion to use a sword correctly, as were the six months that followed. It was on one of these days, when Raven, exhausted from her training with Equinox asked the spirit a question which had been nagging at her from the beginning of their training six months previous. "Equinox, what did you look like when you were alive?"

The ghost looked up from sharpening the blade of a sword to answer, "Let me show you." She then left her training room and soon returned with a Vegan holographic thought-painting, which was a disk that when activated showed a three-dimensional image. Equinox pressed the activation button, and the picture of the once living Equinox appeared. She had orange skin and the whites of her blue eyes were actually blue as well, a paler blue than her bright sapphire irises. Her face was stern and angular with thin lips and high cheekbones and forehead, with oddly-shaped eyebrows - like little raven apostrophes, close together in the center of her forehead. They matched her long, straight hair, which hung to the middle of her back. Her body was thin with small breasts, and if the thought-painting had been full sized, she would have been only a few inches taller than Raven while in human form. Equinox wore the uniform of the University of Okaara which consisted of a blue bodysuit with matching boots and gloves.

"You were Tamaranean?" Raven asked after Equinox had deactivated the hologram.

"Indeed."

"Can you still use starbolts?"

"Yes. But I prefer to fight hand-to-hand, as you have undoubtedly learned." Equinox then went back to sharpening her blade to lethal perfection.

She was soon interrupted by Metrion once more. "Do you wish you were still alive?"

The spirit looked up, somewhat irritated which showed in her tone. "Yes, Metrion, I do. Now, please let me finish this."

Metrion knew when no more should be asked of her teacher, and respected her wishes and remained silent for the next quarter of an hour, silently chanting and achieving her center.

As soon as Equinox had finished sharpening the sword and sheathed it once more, and hung it in its proper place, she joined her student in meditation. The two women were so deep in their separate trances that they didn't hear the door to Equinox's quarters open, or see Kalista of Euphorix enter. Kalista silently crept past the two meditating women and stole one of the barbed whips stored on a shelf, which was quickly followed by a long knife with a deadly looking blade. She then left, absolutely certain that these weapons would be useful that night.

The golden sphere of light which was Okaara's sun sank behind the horizon, and Raven transformed, hitting the hard, cold stone floor. Equinox snapped out of her trance at the sound of Raven's cries of pain. She floated down to Raven's side and waited for her students cries to pass. As soon as they had ended, Equinox looked with concern at Raven who had curled into a ball on the floor. "Raven, are you all right?"

Raven didn't answer for a moment, then raised her head and immediately laid it back down. "I don't know. The pain gets worse every time I transform."

"I do not know why that would be, but I would suggest bed rest and a massage, from Koriand'r if she is willing."

"Can I go?"

"Yes, Metrion, you may leave." Equinox answered, just before Raven disappeared in a puff of black smoke and teleported directly into the bed she shared with Koriand'r. She could not sense the Tamaranean's presence anywhere in the vicinity of their quarters, and soon lost consciousness due to the endless amount of pain which coursed through her body like fire.

The door to the quarters opened and a woman entered, but it wasn't Koriand'r. It was Kalista entering with a cloth sack slung over one shoulder, come to have her way with the demon Raven before Terra arrived to claim Raven's life. The Euphoran extended her mental senses and found Raven lying unconscious on her bed. Kalista walked down the hallway leading to the bedroom and entered the semi-spacious chamber. Crossing to the bed, she gazed into Raven's face. 'Metrion looks so peaceful. Why am I going to do this to her?'

Another voice popped into her head. 'Because you want to make love to her. You only have a few hours. Better get started.'

Kalista reached for the red gem at Raven's throat which held her cloak in place and removed the article of clothing easily. Soon Metrion lay facedown, completely naked on the bed.

Kalista reached into the bag at her feet and removed the whip which she had stolen from Equinox. She prayed that Equinox would not discover two of her weapons were missing until Kalista had finished with Raven.

The flickering light from the small brazier that served both as a source of light and heat, cast a strange glow on the four inch metal barbs. Kalista raised the whip over Raven's back then let the lash strike flesh.

At the first strike of the whip, Metrion's two pairs of yellow eyes shot open. She let out a sharp cry as the whip fell for a second time, barbs sinking deeply into her skin before being pulled out violently. Raven didn't even have the strength to turn her head to see her attacker, let alone fight back. The whip continued to fall, and Raven began screaming, voice muffled by the pillow.

Kalista's attack became more violent egged on by the demon's screams. Soon she could no longer stand hearing Raven scream in pain, fearing she would be discovered; no matter how pleasant it sounded. "You're starting to annoy me." she hissed, before reaching into her sack and removing a piece of cloth to use as a makeshift gag. The Euphoran stuffed it into Raven's mouth, replaced the demon's face into the pillow, and continued the whipping. Twenty-four strikes had fallen, and Raven's back, buttocks, and the backs of her legs were torn open and bleeding, before Kalista finally grew tired of using the whip and replaced it in the bag and took out a set of chains. She flipped Raven onto her back, not paying attention to Raven's muffled cry of pain, and chained her to the bed with legs spread apart. The black-haired girl stared in awe at her soon-to-be, if unwilling bed partner. Her eyes unashamedly roamed Raven's body, noticing the multitude of scars covering her crimson flesh. Kalista lowered her head to Raven's left breast, captured the nipple between her teeth, and began to suck and chew on it while pinching and toying with the other.

Images of being raped and tortured by Slade ran unbidden through Raven's mind. As Kalista bit down on her breast, Raven let out a cry of pain. Kalista soon moved onto the demon's other breast, giving it the same uncaring and painful treatment as the first.

Soon the Euphoran grew tired of this and moved down Raven's body with her tongue leaving a trail of saliva in its wake. She soon reached the juncture of Metrion's thighs, and attacked Raven's clit with her teeth and tongue, not caring how much pain and discomfort she was causing the demon. She inserted four fingers into Raven's vagina and began thrusting, coming into contact with, and sometimes cutting into old scar tissue. Kalista soon began to tire of this and removed her head and fingers from between Raven's legs. She then removed her own clothes, and reached into the bag once more. She produced what was unmistakably a strap-on, with razor-sharp blades on all sides spanning its length, and tied it around her waist. She then climbed on top of Raven, and guided the nine-inch bladed piece of wood, into Raven's already bleeding vagina and began thrusting. Kalista soon achieved an as what she would refer to later "amazing" orgasm caused by the friction from the strap-on rubbing against her clit, before removing herself from the demon.

As soon as she had awakened, Raven had sent out a telepathic message to Koriand'r but had received no answer. But she didn't know that soon her cries for help would be answered.

The Euphoran removed the bloody strap-on from her waist and replaced it in the bag. She then removed a package of Tamaranean cigars and walked over to the brazier. After lighting one, Kalista walked back to the bed where Raven was chained. She began by tracing patterns with the lit end of the cigar on Raven's inner thighs. A little while later the Euphoran placed the rolled up piece of paper filled with tobacco against Raven's clit. Kalista listened happily, enjoying the demon's muffled screams, and watched the tears streaming down Raven's face, a sadistic grin spreading over the Euphoran's face.

Kalista finally stopped her current form of torture and pinched out the cigar before throwing it on the stone floor.

"There's just one more thing before I leave." Kalista said after getting dressed. The black-haired girl reached into her sack for what Raven prayed would be the last time, and brought out a few jars of ink and a needle. "You're going to be tattooed." Kalista said calmly, dipping the needle into one of the jars of ink. "And not in Earth's way of doing things. This will be done the way the Gordanian slavers brand their slaves. I'm treating you like a slave, so why not brand you like one? Surely Equinox has told you about this." she said, grabbing the demon's left arm. "Now hold very still. As though you have a choice."

As the needle went into Metrion's bicep she screamed. Slowly Kalista began to draw, pushing the needle in deep before pulling it back out and dipping it in the ink again, while relishing in Raven's screams.

"Scream all you wish. It gives me inspiration." the Euphoran said, removing the gag to better hear her "slave's" screams, but Raven had already passed out.

The brand was soon finished. The skillfully done black tattoo was drawn in a swirling circular pattern. Kalista then moved to the right side of the bed and began branding Raven once more.

"The Gordanian slavers only brand their slaves on their left arm. I'm branding you for the second time purely for my own amusement." Kalista said darkly while beginning to draw, placing the brand on Raven's right bicep.

Soon the second tattoo was finished. It showed Raven in demon form lying down naked holding a knife stained with blood with Starfire's mutilated and clearly gnawed on corpse lying beside her. It also showed Kalista lying with her head and one hand between Raven's spread legs. "Now you'll have killed Starfire, and I'll be making love to you forever." Kalista informed Raven's unconscious and bleeding form. "Well, at least until your body decays.... unless by some miracle you come back as a ghost. Those tattoos can never be removed. The Gordanians use a special kind of ink for their tattoos which makes it impossible for them to be removed. So even if you were to return as a ghost, you'd still be branded." Kalista then left Raven's quarters and collided with an infuriated Koriand'r in the hallway who fired an emerald green starbolt which connected directly with Kalista's chest. The Euphoran collapsed to the ground, and her body began to transform.

"Gordanian filth." the hovering form of Equinox growled from beside Koriand'r, glaring down at Kalista. Instead of being the kind and gentle Euphoran they both knew, Kalista of Euphorix had transformed into a green-skinned, nearly nine feet tall, four armed brute of a Gordanian female.
