(Glendow Kingdom Royal Palace, Kara POV)

It has been over a week since the summoning?? I still don't quite understand how they brought us here, but from watching the ones they call mages use what they call 'magic', what I can tell is that at the expenditure of some of their internal energy they are able to manipulate a certain aspect of the force. It is impressive what they have achieved through this, I plan to study it more once I have found Ullr. (Next part is a flash back)

When we first arrived the queen stepped forward welcoming us while she briefly looked at each of us. After a short pause she smiles at me and approaches.

From how she welcomed us, they believe that the hero they summoned is female. And as I have technically just come straight out of a fight, I am covered in dirt, my cloak is in pieces and my armour has burn marks all over it, from the close calls Ullr gave me as we fought. In short I looked like a battle maiden so when compared to Jess who is wearing clean clothes as well as a slightly nervous look on her face, it is unsurprising the queen thinks I am the Hero.

Arriving in front of me and looking directly into my eyes for a moment, with a look full of relief, happiness and hope on her face she curtsies to me before she speaks.

"Great hero, we welcome you and besiege you to lend us yo......" I hold up my hand stopping her.

"Sorry but I am not the hero. I am just a Swordswoman." The queen blinks a few times then turns towards Jess.

"Then you....." Before she could even finish the question Jess is vigorously shaking her head.

She starts looking round the room with a confused look. When I first arrived I did realise Ullr wasn't with us but I assumed as he was with a different 'god' he wouldn't arrive at the same time as us, plus he was unconscious when he was summoned so he might still be when he arrives, but too much time has passed, either he has done something or something went wrong.

'Cough' The man still seated on the other throne, more than likely the king. Coughs loudly into his hand bringing the queens thoughts back to the present. Looking back to me, the smile gone replaced by a irritated and expectant look she speaks.

"Where is the hero? Why is she not with you?" Despite her calm tone, I could feel the annoyance in her words. A quick glance around and saw the others looking at me expectantly I answered.

"Firstly your majesty the hero's name is Ullr and he is a man. I don't know where he is because a different god summoned him." As I spoke the queen had a look of shock and disbelief but once I said a different god it instantly changed to a serious one.

"A male hero, the ancient myths and stories could the be true? The god do you know which one?" The queen mumbled the first question to her self before directing the second to me.

"I don't know his name but we were told 'The God of True Hero's' summoned him."

After that the queen and everyone there got all over excited and we were bombarded with questions, and would have been there for hours if Jess had not yawned. We were shown our rooms and left to rest for the night.

The next morning we were told that one of the priestess's received a message from the Goddess. Apparently as Ullr was about to be sent to us, an unknown force caused him to be send somewhere near the Elven Kingdoms. To help us find him the goddess left a necklace that can trace his basic location.

The queen has ordered a search party to find him, they are given a week to prepare before they leave. Wanting to join them I speak to the queen and explain that Ullr and I are close and how I would be a great help in finding him, agreeing to my request I now leave with the search party tomorrow. I will find him, I must, he needs my help!

(Back to Present, Ullr's POV)

It has barely been two minutes since my decision to attempt to help the screaming girl. She has cried out 7 more times in the last couple of minutes or so, but the last two were not ones of fear like the ones before, they were ones of pain. Most would not be able to hear the difference between them, only those who have witnessed many gruesome and hellish acts would clearly hear the difference.

Running through the forest I keep pushing my senses further and further ahead of me. I know the general direction to go and she doesn't sound too far away. Lucky for her I don't only have my eyes and ears to rely on.

I keep searching as I run and listen for her next cry. Twelve seconds pass and still not a sound, after 20 seconds of more silence, the longest by far of silence between her screams, I start to doubt she is still alive.

Just as that though enters my head, I sense them. Six beings about 500-550 meters northwest of me, from what I can feel of the six only one is female and she is full of fear with no hope left. The other five I sense happiness, amusement, a small amount of disgust, but most of all I sense lust.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

I increase my speed as much as I can and focus around them. They seem to be in a small clearing which has what I think is a man made path heading the opposite direction I am coming from which I assume they used.

Normally with no obstacles it would take me about 20 or so seconds to cover 500 meters, the two reasons for my speed is firstly according to Kara I am not human but a very old and rare race who's name had been forgotten, second I am using a technique that makes me two times faster for as long as I can hold my concentration.

Also I could have used the dash technique that covers 180-230 meters in a second but my limit is 2 which nearly completely drains me. I couldn't use it in the forest anyway.

I move through the undergrowth weaving between the plants and trees, meter after meter I run. Twenty seconds and I am still a hundred or so meters away, but now one starts to move towards the girl, his lust is over flowing.

'Faster! Faster!!!'

(POV: 3rd person)

Ullr put all his effort to go even faster, he now didn't always fully avoid the bushes and small branches as he ran, they whipped into him causing stinging pain but his clothing stopped anything breaking his skin. If he passed by someone at this point they would just see him as a blur that passed in a split second.

With all effort in going as fast as possible, Ullr's mental barriers that he has to control his emotions so to prevent getting close with people also start to lower as he getting closer.

During the time Ullr had looked for the girl he heard scream, the five bandits had dragged the screaming girl towards the clearing. There group had just successfully raided a caravan only loosing three men in the attack and one serious but not life threatening injury.

During the attack one of the members of the caravan, a half dwarf half human, turned out to be a very strong warrior who could also use a few basic healing spells. If his dwarf blood hadn't caused his magic affinity to be so low, he would have had similar abilities to a paladin and the outcome would have been very different.

He wore reinforced leather armour as it was more suited for travel, and wielded a two handed hammer. He was the one responsible for killing the three men lost. The five bandits were sent to deal with him by there leader. They were all veteran fighters, the best in the group excluding the leader who was a monster.

It didn't take them long to kill him, when he died the skirmish also ended. There reward was they can take one prisoner to do as they wish, grabbing the girl they made there way to the clearing they had used before.

The five arrived at the clearing with there prize, the youngest of them was getting fed up of her screaming, the others were enjoying hearing and seeing her terror. She was tied to a nearby tree and then the five talked about what to do and who is first.

Of the five there were three human males, the youngest being one of them, one human, wild Demi human, Orc mixed blood male and was probably the most intelligent one despite his Orc heritage. And finally there was a female half Elf half hobgoblin, she was quite pretty and had Elven features, one differences were her green skin, much longer ears and her shaper facial features.

With her cries only getting louder the youngest can't take it anymore and quickly moves towards her.

"Shut your fucking mouth bitch! No one will hear you, your ours to play with. No one will fucking come to your rescue and who would want to help an abomination like you anyway!" As he talks he points his sword at her while speaking, a look of disgust on his face. Just as the last word leaves his mouth he skilfully stabs his sword in her arm missing all major arteries and veins.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

She screams again but it quickly ends. Smiling he slowly removes his blade from her arm. The girl holds in a scream but her whimpers can be clearly heard. Crouching down he looks her in the eyes, he can see her hope fading away. He loves seeing that in his victims eyes, when they loose all hope.

"You will die here today bitch but don't worry it won't be quick, I'll make sure of it!" His hand shoots forward grabbing her injured arm, pushing his thumb hard against the wound.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

After a few seconds pushing his thumb against the wound he removes his hand. He sees in her eyes as she loses the last slither of hope followed by the realisation that she will suffer greatly and nothing can stop it, her mind starts to break slightly.

The young bandit stands up with a big smile on his face. His favourite thing to do is break someone's will and mind, but as the others want some fun too he doesn't completely break her. As he stands up he decides to patch up some of the damage he did to her mind.

"You don't have to worry yet, the others will have their fun before I do. You don't need to fear what they'll do, you'll probably enjoy it." He sees the desired look of confusion on her face. Her thoughts now on what the others will do stoped any further damage and also helped repair some parts.

Walking back towards the group, who had mostly ignored what happened, concentrating on who gets to go first. Only the Orc mixed blood seems annoyed.

"Garon, you know that you don't get to have your fun first as you break them making them no fun for us!" The Orc glares at Garon with his arms crossed in front of him!

"I know, I know. Don't worry I didn't break her just shut her up. Those screams were driving me mad! Anyway whose first then?" Not seeming to care about the Orc's unimpressed look, he takes out his sword to clean and sharpen it.

"Hmmm. Jerett is first this time." Nodding towards one of the other human males. Nodding he starts his work with his sword.

With a smile plastered over his face Jerett made his way towards the girl. Everyone knew he was doing to rape her over and over again. Strangely only him, the other human and occasionally the Elf girl will rape there victims, but the other man will only rape humans and the Elf will only rape girls with large breasts, neither of which this girl was. Jerett on the other hand will rape any prisoner they get to play with, boy or girl, every humanoid race and any age.

When he gets within a meter of the girl, the Elf girls who ears start twitching, both Elves and Hobgoblins have great hearing so hers is extremely good. Moving towards Jerett with a concerned look on her face, she quickly warns her companions that something is approaching very quickly.

"Jerett, wait something's coming!"

Jerett stopped and turned to look at her. Before anything more could be said Jerett is kicked in the back, the loud snap of his back breaking is heard and he is sent flying before crashing into a tree and falling in a heap at the base of the the tree completely still with blood dripping from his mouth.
