The female were led to the very center of the forest where a huge like temple was. Standing at the entrance were snake beastmen. One of the ugliest beastmen.
The rogues stopped walking and all the females, young and old, were led in by the slaves. Most of us were a mess and have been crying most of the way.
A snake beastmen sat on a throne with seven others standing around him. He had five marks and looked terrifying. His upper body was in man form while the lower half was a black snake tail that was curled up to the side of the throne.
"Get them off the logs and stand in a line to be assessed. The young first then the older ones." One of the snake males instructed.
I haven't moved since I woke up, and now they want me to stand in a line.
Silver dumped all of us off the logs and left. Guess that's one way to get it done.
I hissed in pain and landed on an even younger female Pea.
"Sorry Pea."
"It's fine." Her small sweet voice was horse from all the crying. I got off her as fast as I could manage.
I stood on shaky legs, getting up and getting in a line. I'm smart enough to know he's the leader and it would be best to do what we're told as quickly as possible.
Pea held onto me and got in line with me. The rest of my group followed but the others were hesitating.
The snakes that were beside the throne came down and started whipping the others that didn't get in line fast enough. All the snake beastmen were half-transformed.
"The ones that got in line first, get them cleaned up first. They'll be with me." The snake on the throne said. Pea held on tighter.
We were told to follow one of the snakes into a different area. In this room was a large pool of water.
"Get in. Another female will be in here to assist you soon." He left and we were alone.
"How did you know?" Lily asked.
I did my best to try to take off my clothes. Lily came over to help and we all started to strip down.
"The gorilla beastman is a slave. He never looked up and was quick to get us off the logs and get out of their sight. I figured do as we're told as soon as possible. Females are used to being in control, but here we must be the submissive ones in order to survive."
"Very well said little female. The more submissive you are the better you'll be treated." A female walked in with very little on.
"If you can remember that things will be easier for you if you obey, but you'll still suffer. Never forget, you are no longer in control. Now hurry up so I can see you more clearly."
We all got in and washed our bodies of all the dirt, blood, and sweat. It felt so good to be cleaned. I washed my veil too while I was in there. The adult female was watching me closely.
"What is your name little one?"
She walked up behind me, "Lyria".
"Hm, you're very beautiful," she moved around to the others and helped Pea wash up.
"The six of you will have new clothes to put on until then wrap up in these sheepskins."
We did as we were told and she brought us somewhere else. I kept my head down the whole time. I realized I forgot my bags by the washroom. How do I get them back now?
