"You useless brat, who do you think you are to disobey master's order". A man in a guard's uniform could be seen yelling, seemingly mad about something.
Well one could easily imagine why he would be angry, he knew that now this little brat ran away, his boss will definitely lose face as people will start saying things like "he does not have the capacity to control common slaves".
And when that happens his boss will definitely go off with his head and who knows, his family might even be executed with him. So you could imagine why he was feeling so vexed at the moment, and since he could not take his anger on anyone else he decided to take it out on the little brat who was definitely responsible for it all.
"Hahahaha...."
"Hey Cordell, do not kill the little brat let me have fun with him for a little while"
"Me too, I want to also join you guys in the fun"
You could hear some guards all around him talking about what they wanted to do to him. Hell, someone said he likes his ass and when he heard it, he instantly felt disgusted as he could not truly imagine what that guard wanted to do to his body.
You could beat him all he wants and he would not utter a word, I mean right now he has been beaten so bad he could not open his eyes but why in God's name does that guard want to do that to come, he clearly is not into men okay. Someone should please tell the guard over there that he was not interested, and after some time he started crying that was the last thing he remembered before it all went dark.
And the cycle would go on for several days, him waking up, getting beaten up and on and on. Most times he would be so lonely and he felt like he should give up most of the time, but surprisingly he found company in the most odd way.
"Hey, young lad"
"How is it going over there, you look like shit"
Cosmos chuckled seemingly having fun with Pollux condition.
"You old goat, why does it seem like you are having fun right now". Pollux replied with a slightly tired voice as it was not long ago he woke up from his everyday torture.
"Of course I am having fun, how many times do I get to see you suffer".
"Ha, this is so much fun, I can do this all day"
Pollux shook his head as he remembered that this old foggey in his head was really stupid and he should not be listening to the guy.
So he replied "hey, why don't you try and figure out a way for us to get out of here. Since you claim to be so smart, I am sure that you must have figured out a way for us".
Suddenly, Cosmos smiled and it felt like he had been waiting for Pollux to ask that question so he answered very confidently "of course. It is a very simple option that not many people will be able to notice because they are not as smart as I am".
And Pollux got very happy when he heard this so he hurriedly asked Cosmos to go on, so that he could hear the rest of the plan.
And so Cosmos went on "you see that gate over there where the guards are standing" he pointed at the massive gate at the entrance.
Pollux quickly replied "I am not allowed to work there, only the chief maids and workers are allowed to get close". He was confused because he knew that this was something everyone knew, so why was he telling him to do something that was not possible.
But Cosmos reply was totally unexpected "who mentioned anything about working close, that is for weaklings".
"What I was trying to tell you was very simple"
"Kill everyone here and walk out of he door".
And with that he left Pollux feeling very confused.
