Episode CMXIV - The Red Biters

The attack of these beasts was sudden and devastating as they proved far more clever than our best minds, leaping upon us and digging their small teeth into our necks to inject the stinging serum with their sharp tongues. As this poison potage set into us, we writhed in unimaginable agony, feeling its stink in every fiber of our being. Prayer and submersion proved incapable of allaying our misery and our wounds lingered for days until, after turning bilious green, the stinking scabs fell off, leaving brown, curdled marks on our flesh.

Episode CMXXI – The Auction of Prisoners

Those of us who were captured were put up at auction with the highest prices fetched by those who might give pleasure, either of a gustatory nature or in some other manner of the flesh, dependent upon the predilections and tastes of the men and women who paid for them. For our captors, unlike us were not interested in saving souls but in earthly delights of the most vivid sort. (From “The Voyage of Discoveries” © mmg 2007)
