The archon threw his head back as he laughed heavily at the proposal of the scrawny human prisoner in front of him.
Several members of the archons court joined in with the laughter as to not displease him.
The archon then leaned forward on this throne; it was a large chair made from bones which came from all manner creatures and victims.
"You want to help me....you?" said the Archon
"Yes" said Croppo softly
"I'll do whatever you want; just don't, just don't ...just don't put me back in that cage" cried the man
Lhydya leaned over her lovers shoulder and wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh, dear; you've hurt the poor things spirit" she said in a mocking voice
"I've had enough laughter for today" said the archon
The archon then kicked the footstool that was made from several corpses out from under him.and turned to face one of his Incubi
"Gut the wretch here and now; I could do with a new footrest"
The incubi drew a long, twisted knife and took steps towards the human prisoner
"WAIT" shouted Croppo, holding his hands up
"Make it quick; I'm bored" commented the archon
"Your in league with traitors; you need help for something" said the corporal
"How do you know that; tell me or I'll paint the walls with your brains and find out for myself" threatened the alien leader
"I saw him; no one would need those creeps help unless they were desperate" smiled Croppo
The archon held his hand up to halt the Incubi with the gutting tool
"I'm listening" he said
"You want men, woman, kids...dogs?; you name it I can get. If I can get back to my old base, I can keep an eye everything and send you ANYTHING you want"
"Now you've tickled my fancy" said the Archon, nodding
"Very well, I'll see you make it back, relatively unscathed. I do however, expect my first tribute in a week or I come looking for you"
"I'll get you anything....ANYTHING, I promise" pleaded Croppo
"You will...OR ELSE" growled the archon
The archon pointed at a nearby warrior
"See the cave dweller makes it back to his post"
"Understood, master" nodded the warrior, latching onto the man
Once the human was out of sight, Lhydya turned to her lover
"Do you think this plan will work? trusting a cave dweller to give us tributes?"
"That look in his eyes; sheer desperation" said the archon
"He's the sort of miserable creature who'd do anything to save his own worthless skin. I see it almost every day" added the archon
