"Wow, what the hell is this place, and how did you get all these ogres to work for you?" Silk asked, eyeing the ogres laboring in the city.
"You don't need to know. Now, tell me... Why should I let you go?" Anon asked, his smile oozing with confidence.
"I will not say anything about this place to anyone. I promise not to divulge the secret that you have the only child of the great mother, whom she loves more than anything and for whom she would easily kill anyone," Silk spoke, smiling back at Anon.
"Don't play smart with me. I can keep you here, and you will still be unable to tell anyone anything," Anon said, halting his steps and locking eyes with Silk with a deadly serious expression.
"If I go missing and am not found in seven days, my father will deploy the army to search for me. Can you handle my father's wrath?" Silk teased, her smile still apparent.
