Her Imperial Malevolence

Our homeland was just absorbed by the empire. It was inevitable. Now we make do under Her reign.

Things stay mostly the same at first. But slowly and gradually, Her tyranny becomes more evident.

Before we know it, terror reigns supreme.

She reigns supreme.

I'm taken one day. I don't know why, but I know enough not to resist.

They throw me onto my knees.

And there She sits upon Her throne.

She is completely relaxed and completely at ease.

She is in complete control.

I am made to look at Her.

I don't know what to say or do.

She is entirely silent and still.

I don't know how much time passes before I tell her everything. I don't know what she wants to know, but I spill my thoughts, my hopes, my fears, my very soul to Her.

I have surrendered everything I am to Her.

Properly broken, I am taken away to fulfil some other task. It doesn't matter. There is nothing left of that person anymore.

This empty husk will serve Her.

It will serve Her forever.
