I awoke to the feeling lf being dragged, my skin scraping against the rough dirt and rocks as whoever moved me struggled, feminine grunts and panting for breath echoing from out of my view, new shorts were on my body and I could see a very long trail in front of me, a dull ache from my back as I released I was being dragged by my wings, OW.
"you can stop dragging."(syn)
the person dragging me started panicking, desperately apologizing while bowing and crying.
"it's fine really, you helped me, I'm not mad....(sigh)....can you please stop bowing?"(syn)
I was still sitting on the ground as I eyed the girl, an odd floral type of theme covering her entire body, clothes made of vines and flowers making a dress for her, skin an odd brown color as if mimicking soil, fingernails of tree bark.
hair of flowers, her eyes were mostly human looking though, odd, maybe?
I wasn't sure.
I stood amd dusted myself off, picking some twigs from my hair and wings as I stretched, yawning as I did so.
"you heal very fast, not faster than I heal you, but fast."(plant girl) said excitedly once she stopped crying, it took a minute, most awkward minute of my life, well top ten.
I gave her an odd look as I truly had no idea what she was, demon was a possibility but it seemed unlikely, some sort of forest creature was a given at this point, you don't have plants growing from your body only to live in a volcano.
"how long has it been since I passed out?"(syn) I asked myself.
"it's been a full bright and dark switch!"(plant girl)
so a full day....I...think?.....
"how far have we gone?"(syn)
"very far, almost home!"(plant girl) said excitedly, very energetic she was.
"so where is home?"(syn)
I might as well go with her, I was in no mood to further humiliate myself right now, Raya would be fine for now, at least until she serves whatever purpose she got herself taken for.
I leaned my head against a tree and sighed, the weight of what just happened weighing on me heavily.
"you tired? you sleep so long already!"(plant girl)
"not tired, stressed."(syn)
she cooked her head sideways like a puppy who didn't understand something.
"stressed?"(plant girl)
"yeah."(syn)
"ok!"(plant girl)
I rolled my eyes as I closed them, breathing deeper as I leaned on this tree.
she'd utterly humiliated me, destroyed me, and to top it off shrugged off everything, I didn't even have a chance to fight back.
my fist soared into the ground, shattering rock as a crater formed, cracks running through like lightning.
"FUCK!"(syn)
"fuck?"(plant girl) mimicked.
"you're not allowed to say that."(syn)
"ok!"(plant girl)
I stood straight, no longer leaning on the tree, my eyes squinting in the afternoon sun, my mind full of self doubt, near self loathing, I was so pathetic.
but the plant girl didn't care, she took my hand happily and began skipping, leading me to her home, my legs tiredly trailing behind as we traveled, her home coming into view, her smile brightening.
she took off running, beelining towards two adult looking plant people, I could've sworn I heard her say the word I told her not to use, the plant like adults looked at me with disapproval.
the girl dragged the two adults my way, happy the entire time.
"we recognize a primal."(plant man)
I nodded at them, my expression staying neutral.
"we know of you specifically, to hear of your recent.....failures...is quite terrifying."(plant woman)
"when those who are much stronger can barely hold their own, we tend to get very afraid."(plant woman)
"gee...thanks....."(syn)
my mood got even darker as my posture dropped, my eyes dimming, I fucking hate this!
"we have a way to help, not fun, can help the primal who brings balance to nature."(plant man)
balance huh? what do I do that brings balance?
"yeah sure, help me, I can't even seem to help myself."(syn)
"apologies for this."(plant man)
a swift hard pressure in the back of my head cut me from the rest of my senses as I felt my body collapse, I was still here but nothing was working, what's going on here?! SOMEONE?! ANYONE?!

Raya pov...
the cold chains nearly burned my skin with hoe cold they were, my clothes were now nothing more than tattered remains, the sick dragon girl with a belly was in front of me, whip in hand while adorning a strange expression.
"don't damage my future army!"(Amira) bellowed at the girl, who backed away all submissive, dragons aren't supposed to do that!
submissive isn't even a word they know the meaning of!

[congratulations your species has made the advancement demonic lineage, your offspring have now become a demonic variant]
I swiped the screen away as the plant people started gathering up their stuff from the room, their torture tools being wrapped up neatly as they shuffled out slowly, my entire body was sore, my skin entirely new as both it and my wings have regenerated recently, these long two years have been torment, absolute torment.
contasntly for nothing but these past two years I've had almost everything carved away slowly, muscles individually torn out one by one before various bones were shattered over and over, my hearts broken time and time again.
but there would be results, the more damage they forced upon my body, the more dramatic the reward, and in the rare instances my body wasn't being actively dissected I was forced to train everything over and over, I'd gotten so little sleep that fear of more torture as punishment was what kept me going, I'd tried to kill myself to escape who knows how many times, my suffering never coming to an end, but today it did.
they had just up and announced they'd done all they could, they could do no more and I was free, the joy I felt in that moment overwhelming me as I flew from the room, escaping into the skies as I flapped my wings happily, my tears of happiness streaking down to the ground as I felt a relief so great I felt nothing else but that relief for minutes, nearly an hour.
after that hour I'd come back to the ground, the girl who'd found me waiting for me, she looked sad, she knew I'd be leaving, NEVER coming back.
I was grateful for the help, more grateful than I thought possible to feel, but willingly torturing yourself has its limits, and I'd reached mine.
