At Her Mercy

You awoke with a gasp as the cold of water touched your skin and looked at the culprit. Unlike the other guards that you had seen, who had gold armor, this one had silver armor.

"Wake up slave. Nap time is over and day one of slave training begins. Now as for who I am. I am the Warden but you may call me mistress. Understood?"

You looked at her and spoke.

"I thought you were a man at first glance." Your head snapped to the side as you were slapped with a gauntlet armored hand.

"You have quite the mouth on you. Mouthing off to your betters is a big no no for a slave. Luckily, I have a remedy for this and any future bad behaviors."

She reached into her waist bag and pulled out a collar.

"This here is an obedience collar. This collar is magically enchanted to "correct" bad behaviors on its own. So if you speak without permission, swear at your betters, try to attack anyone, or anything of a similar nature, then you will experience a very painful shock. Full body paralysis, full body electrocution. Very painful. Her majesty made it for you."

She moved closer and put it onto your neck and clipped it on.

"It is magically locked so you can not remove it on your own. Now lets get you down and to work."

She unlocked your cuffs and you fell to the ground. She tapped you with her boot to gain your attention.

"To the middle of the room slave."

You looked up at her and sneered.

"Bite me." Before you could say anything else you fell onto your side as an intense pain ran through your body. You couldn't move. You couldn't even scream as the pain worked its' way through. The Warden knelled beside you and lifted your head into her direction. Despite the pain, you could still hear her.

"I forgot to mention that not doing what you are told also results in a painful shock. Whoops." She smiled at you as she gently rested your head onto the floor. The pain stopped not so long after and you were left panting and crying as you tried to collect yourself. You had never felt such awful pain in your life. As you calmed down, the Warden spoke up again.

"Do you know why I am being so nice to you? It's because I want to show you that we can be kind to you if you behave. Unruly behavior is repaid with cruelty and pain. But good behavior is repaid in kindness. You saw and felt the former but that does not mean you can feel the latter. But only if you obey. Now be a good boy and crawl to the center of the room."

You tried to stand up only to be gently pushed back to the ground.

"I said crawl."

You nodded and, not wanting another shock so soon, crawled to the center of the room and sat down.

"Good boy. Now we can begin."
