Interrogation

This was not how my adventure was supposed to be, thought Amyar as he tugged on the chain attached to his wrist. The metal was cold against his skin. The room was damp and dark, and the bolts that attached his chains to the wall seemed immovable. The fabric on the cot was itchy, but he could not reach to scratch. His face felt swollen. He couldn’t get the taste of blood out of his mouth.

What surprised him most, however, was that he didn’t miss the palace that much. He just felt angry that the negotiations that were his debut in political affairs were nothing more than theater. The rebels had no intention of seriously negotiating. General Eppon wasn’t interested in peace, and he didn’t even have Thassli interests at heart. Well, he had one Thasali’s interest at heart—Amyar’s distant cousin. He wanted to take the water and depose the Matriarch. He wondered what all those troops were doing now.

He tugged on the chain that bound his ankle. The chain’s links dug into his skin. The chains were tight on his right wrist and ankle but there was enough slack between him and the wall that he was able to sit up. They had brought him bread, beans, and ale. He thought about trying to escape.

Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?

He didn’t know where to start, but he knew he was hungry. He didn’t know whether it was time for dinner, breakfast, lunch, or a snack. He just knew it was time to eat. The beans were grey and black and lost in a thin brown liquid. They had given him neither spoon nor fork, so he used the bread as a scoop. He actually quite liked the ale, but it was hard to enjoy it. He heard the rattle of the chain every time he lifted his arm.

When he was no longer hungry, he lay back down and tried to sleep. He only managed to doze a little. The cot was uncomfortable. The food sat in his stomach like a heavy rock. The ale was making him belch, and his thoughts raced from one horrible possibility to the next.

As he lay there giving up on sleep, a tiny light broke through his tangled thoughts. He saw the rebel, the harem boy, who wouldn’t reveal his name. Amyar had never had a harem boy tell him no before. It made the man with no name even more attractive.

Amyar had never had a steady relationship with either a man or woman. He’d had sex with a many harem boys and one harem girl, until he slowed down because it was too easy. He preferred the boys. No one particularly cared who he slept with, who he took as his consort, or whether he took anyone as his consort at all. He hadn’t much cared either, until he’d seen the handsome rebel across the table. Now, he had thoughts about him that ignited something Amyar hadn’t felt for anyone before.

He lay on his side facing the wall he was chained to and ran his free hand over the front of his pants.
