Chapter Five

The dense mountains on the outskirts of kingdom Shogo were home to barbarian's tribe, barbarians were the monstrous beasts with their size bigger than normal people, they lived in dense forests in a group and would often fight with other tribes, they lived like animals, not enough powerful to take on kingdom they would often attack villages for food and loot, barbarians would rape the women of villages and then kill them, barbarian not only killed the villagers they would eat them as well, a real monsters indeed.

"Wake up it's already morning" said Hugo who was already ready and was preparing breakfast, their breakfast consisted of eggs and half cooked meat, "What time is it" asked Athen who was still sleepy, "It's time to be ready" said Hugo, Athen knew he can't waste time anymore and decided to wake up and get ready quickly, they both ate their breakfast and packed their bags and decided to head out. 

In front of them laid the big dense forest that was home to Barbarians, before entering the forest Hugo warned and told Athen about the Barbarians, "They are not to be considered humans just remember this" said Hugo, both of them was being careful with their every move, their were bears and mountain lions in forests too but they didn't possessed threat like barbarians, Hugo had fought Barbarians in many battles he knows their tactic, for Hugo Barbarians were not smart they was just animals.

It wasn't much late when Hugo saw some curiosity arising in Athen's facial expression, "What's wrong" asked Hugo looking at Athen, "I wanted to know about the patch of yours and that scar on your arm" said Athen quietly as if he was struggling to decide whether to ask or not, Hugo laughed pointing at his eye patch he said "It's embarassing but I hurted myself, I tripped and hurted the left eye with my sword" Athen didn't expected this he couldn't stop his laugh, they both was laughing and for moment forgot about their troubles. Suddenly a cry was heard.

"Help! Help!" a girl voice could be heard, Athen didn't wasting time ran towards the direction, Hugo knowing this could be trap tried to stop Athen but was unable to do so, Athen didn't listened to Hugo for him it was someone who was in danger and he needed to help her, Athen and Hugo reached the place from where the cry was coming a strange smell covered the place, they saw a girl down on ground not moving, Hugo could sense something was wrong and asked Athen to wait before helping her, but Athen didn't listened he went close to girl.

"Are you alright?" Athen asked "Are you hurt?", the girl didn't answered as Athen turned the girl around who was smelling bad and consummated Hugo was right, the girl was already dead with her face ripped off, by looking at dead body Athen knew she was dead from few days and was not the one to cry, Athen looked behind to notify Hugo and realized he made a mistake, around 18-20 barbarians had covered the area and was holding sword at Hugo's neck, it was a trap and Athen walked straight into it.

The Barbarians captured them and made them prisoners, Athen and Hugo was brought to the place where Barbarians lived, it smelled like rotten flesh, there was no hut just some branches placed together covered with leaves, Athen and Hugo noticed their were some other prisoners as well, Barbarians tied both of them with trees like other people their.

Hugo's nightmare became true, the Barbarians caught them and now they were in much danger, with his experience Hugo could defeat them but with him tied to the tree it wasn't possible, "What should we do" said Athen who was nervous, Athen knew it was his fault to be reckless, "We need to wait till night" said Hugo, the Barbarians on other hand knew Athen and Hugo was warriors and not just ordinary villagers. 

Suddenly all Barbarians stopped talking, a complete silence spread across the forest, "Are they the warriors?" said someone with a raucous voice, all of barbarians bowed down, it was the leader of their tribe who was informed about the new prisoners that was carrying weapons, Athen was terrified to see the leader, he didn't saw anyone that big ever before, he cannot be a man, a monster. "I know you" said the leader in his raucous deep voice pointing at Hugo, Hugo who till then didn't paid any attention to the leader, looked at him, "You are Hugo the General" exclaimed the leader, the leader started laughing, he was mocking Hugo for being a general and getting caught by his men.

"I should kill you and eat your heart" said the leader laughing "or should I sell you to the king", Hugo realized the leader was aware of him, the least he wanted is to get sold to Balak, "What do you desire to get in return for us" said Hugo laughing "King will kill us no doubt but he will also kill you, you are a Barbarian", the leader who was till now laughing stopped laughing, the leader looked angry with Hugo's statement, he went to Hugo punched him in face "I will kill you both myself and then I will eat your heart and let my dogs have you", said the leader.

Barbarians started shouting together, the leader went to the cage where other prisoners were kept, a family of three a man, his wife and their daughter who got caught by these Barbarians, the leader opened the cage and pulled man out from his hair, the leader tortured the man like an animal, he was laughing and beating him continuously, Athen was looking at this helplessly with anger, his eyes turned red like lava, his veins was popping out, the leader noticed Athen.

"What are you looking at kid" said leader who seemed to be affected by Athen looking at him in anger, "Are you angry? Do you want to save the man?" the leader said jokingly, the man who was poorly beaten was crying in pain, "What are you crying for?" said leader looking down at the man whose face was beneath his feet, the leader took out his sword and he passed it through the man's heart slowly with a smile on his face, Athen couldn't control his anger anymore "I will kill you all of you, I will rip you all into pieces and burn you" Athen yelled in anger, the leader looked at Athen, he laughed and then went on bringing the dead man's wife and daughter out of cage, Athen was shivering with his anger, he felt so helpless he knew what was going to happen.

"I will rape them in front of you" said the leader smiling at Hugo and Athen, the wife and her daughter seemed to have already gave up on surviving, they knew nothing can save them and just accepted their fate, they didn't made a single noise when the man was killed, they just looked at with blank expression. Leader slammed women on ground and ripped off her clothes, he kicked her naked ass spreading her legs and started fucking her ruthlessly, the women didn't even groaned in pain, she just stood silent getting raped by him, the leader was continuously beating her, slapping her, as the leader was done he grabbed the women's neck and broke it as if it was a small branch of tree, the women's eye closed as she fell on ground, the leader didn't stopped at that he went on to ask other Barbarians to take the daughter away and rape her one by one.
