MISCHI'S TERROR

THE GOD GAMES:Legend of Kor...Chapter Two: Misch's eyes suddenly opened. It was still dark. Something felt wrong. Her heart pounded, she became more aware and could hear a twig snap outside her home. She began to panic. She had heard the stories of night raids in Voun, and elsewhere in Kor, by Gog's men. They said that his soldiers come into a city and burn buildings, rape the women, and steal children to use as slaves. She turned and shook her husband and he grunted sleepily..."Wake up Thorn, wake up! Someone is outside in the yard!"...Suddenly galvaized by his wife's words, Thorn jumped out of bed and grabbed for his shotgun, then he went to the window and carefully pulled the curtain ajar. There, on the lawn, were a group of ten of Gog's soldiers, fully armed and gesturing wildly at his house..."Get up Mischi, and get the children down to the cellar. I'll hold them off!"...Mischi gathered the children, two boys and a girl, and rushed them down the ladder into the root cellar, then she closed the trap door but left it unlocked for Thorn...Thorn stood in the living room, facing the barricaded door. Thank god, they only had the one door to guard. Maybe the soldiers would go elsewhere if they couldn't get into his home...Suddenly, Thorn heard pounding on the front door and the soldiers told him to open the door or they would burn the house down around them. Thorn dashed to a window, looked outside, and saw that they did indeed have a torch and cans of gas. Thorn decided he must not let his family be burned to death, so he tore down the barricade and cautiously opened the door. He was promptly shot in the heart and his body thrown to the soldier's fire lizards...Mischi heard the great commotion and the shot, and knew that something terrible had happened to Thorn. Quickly, she climbed the ladder and slid the bolt lock closed. Now, in total darkness, she held the children and prayed for their lives. She could hear loud tramping coming from the house, and harsh expletives as they were seeking and searching her home for her whereabouts...Then, Mischi heard footsteps right above her, and loud orders for her to come out of the cellar if she valued her family's lives..."No," Mischi screamed, "I will never come out; do as you will!"..."You leave me no recourse. Prepare to die."...Mischi smelled the gas and heard it dripping from around the edges of the trap door. Suddenly, there was light as fire danced around the trap door. Mischi pulled her children back into the farthest reaches of the cellar-about ten feet deep. She knew that the fire would consume the small amount of air in the cellar, and they would soon suffocate...There was a big crash and an axe head could be seen coming through the boards of the trap door. It splintered into a thousand pieces, and rough hands tore the splintered boards away...A huge Selve soldier came tromping down the ladder. His squinty eyes soon discovered the cowering Mischi and her children. He strode over and grabbed Mischi by her hair and threw her on the ground. With the tip of his sword he ripped her nightdress from her body, then pulled out his penis and fell on Mischi, raping her and stabbing her at the same time. In rage and lust he thrust at Mischi until she lay dead underneath him...Sated, the soldier called for help, and rounded up the children who were terrified and in shock from what they had just witnessed...The soldiers dragged the children outside where there was a long line of Voun men, women, and children all chained together at the waist. The soldiers added the three children to the people-chain, and led the group away into the darkness. The rest of the soldiers set fire to Thorn's and Mischi's house and garden, and then marched on to the next house in the village...to be continued tomorrow.
