     Exhausted by the effort that the spell work required, Jasmine summoned one of her father’s hand maidens to watch over her while she rested.  Kodiak was firmly under her control and would sleep until she was ready for him to wake up.

     Asleep in his quarters, Kodiak struggled to wake. Deep in his subconscious he knew that something threatened his sworn Lady.  Penthesilea wass in trouble. She needed him but he cannot wake.  Mar-Nek wanted him out of the way for the duration. Fortunately for the God, Jasmine was more than happy to provide unwitting cooperation in that endeavor.

     Mar-Nek was not the only God interested in the situation. Anubis put forth His hand and Kodiak awakens, knowing that Penthesilea needs him but that is all. He will find her and save her. He changes his clothes and arms himself.

*Penthesilea emerges into the forest. The sun burns a bit but is not uncomfortable. The tiny part of her mind that is still rational realizes that this is no doubt intentional. She has a better chance of being seen in the daylight.. Then rationality flees and so does she.....*

*Penthesilea is gone. Only her body remains. There is a small movement to one side. She strikes, grabbing her prey with desperate hand. She breaks her prey's back as she bites down. Hot blood fills her mouth as the rat squeals and dies.....*

     In her quarters, Satira watched Penthesilea’s torment in a mirror with interest and no little nausea. She had never seen this particular curse in action and she wondered how far it would push the Keyholder. She knew that her God’s plan called for her to “break” the curse on Penthesilea and in that way gain the Keyholder’ gratitude and that of her brother.  She, of course, could not lift the curse. Only the kiss of one who truly loved Penthesilea who also was not
parent, sibling or child could break the curse and that certainly wasn’t Satira! But as Mar-Nek had set the curse, he could also lift it when the time came. Satira’s stomach gave a lurch and she blanked the mirror. She would need to do some research and devise a suitably impressive bit of mumbo jumbo to use when the time came for her to save the Keyholder.

*MORE LIFE!!! She finds a fallen tree, rips off the bark and begins stuffing the insects thus exposed into her mouth. It is small life but it is life and what she is doomed to consume.. And still, it is not enough. Frantic, she tears at the tree with her fingers, tearing her nails. She doesn't feel it. All she knows is that the Hunger continues unabated...... Inside the predatory thing that she has become, Penthesilea knows what is happening to her and weeps.....

*More! The Hunger screaming in her head, the part of Penthesilea that still exists weeps for the small lives she has snuffed out even as she stuffs a nest of cockroaches into her mouth. MORE!!

*The Hunger has her in its teeth. She tears into a den of rats and consumes them all, their blood dripping from her mouth and matting in her hair. Attracted by the smell of blood that surrounds her, flies begin to buzz her. She snatches them from the air and they, too, go to feed the Hunger....

*The womanthing hears a sound, senses LIFE and turns... a child of the Smallkin race stands there, not fifty feet away. She could cross the distance in a single leap....

Nononononononononononononono

Penthesilea begs and screams and prays. Mercy is granted. The Hunger does not want the child. It takes her away deeper, ever deeper into the forest.... thank you she whispers against the scream of the Hunger...

#2830  [Rewritten by Penthesilea]

     Daemon farwalks to the edge of the forest farthest from the Castle. In the shelter of  the towering trees, he looks back at his sister’s home.  “I’m sorry, Penth. But this is for the best. When you read my letter, you’ll understand. You always do.” Then, unaware of the fate that has befallen his sister, he enters the woods.

Daemon looked around his quarters. He hadn’t spent all that much time at the Castle but it had come to feel like home. And if things when like he thought that they would, he would never see it again. He sighed. It didn’t matter as long as his task was completed. He owed her that.  He took up his gear and left his rooms, stopping the first servant he encountered and giving her the letter that he had written with instructions to give it to the Keyholder. Once the woman was on her way, Daemon “farwalked” out of the Castle.


     The servant, unable to find any trace of Penthesilea, alerts the Head Housekeeper who in turn goes looking for the Lord Marshall. Unable to find either of them, she jumps to the wrong conclusion and puts the letter in Penthesilea’s private study for her to read later.

     Deep in the woods, Daemon follows the crude map he was given to find the remote spot where his quarry was last reported. Sure enough, upon examination to the site, he finds a fairly fresh trail. His soul goes cold as he begins to follow it....

*With senses sharpened by the Hunger, the womanthing detects something....foul. EVIL. She gags -- she who has consumed what she has consumed! Then she senses something else. Something familiar. Something as dear to her.... The Hunger tries to drive her and she obeys but keeps always the location of those two presences in mind....

*More! A large lizard catching the last rays of the sun struggles vainly as she seizes it and kills. She understands now. There is no relief from the Hunger. She could devour the world and it would not be enough. Even as she tears at the lizard's flesh, seeking the last drop of blood, she grieves for it and weeps anew for her mistakes and the pain she has caused....

     Relentlessly, Daemon pursues his quarry. It plays with him, he knows, leaving a trail and doubling back to watch him. Toying with his nerves. But Daemon cannot be unnerved. All it can do is kill him and he is already as one dead.

     As the sun sets, Jasmine’s strength returns. She sends to the dining hall for food. First she will eat to replenish her strength and then she will find Kodiak and seduce him. Before the night is over, he will be unable to think of another woman, let alone desire her!!
