There was one such awesome display of such malevolence, such immorality that is remembered and whispered about still to this very day. A truly sad and terrible tale of two brothers. While two so unlike in nature; One small and dark, one large and fair, one shy, one brave, as different as day and night, as light verses the dark, the moon against the sun. No two brothers could ever have been, nor ever will be as close in each others hearts as these two were.
On the day the brothers came to throw their desires at Terrible Tessa feet, hoping on a favorable outcome, and perhaps a chance at her heart, was the day the last flicker os benevolence died in Terrible Tessa. It was the day that terrible Tessa stopped her guilty heart from feeling.
She lounged on her gilded Chez as she watched from the corner of her eye, as the first brother approached the dais. The lean dark child of the night was the first to step up. He stuttered, "M...My Lay...My Lady, I beg..I buh buh beg, I beg... I ask...Ask that, tha that you pluh pluh please.. wha wha will..." Terrible Tessa cruel laughter cut him off, and was soon joined by that of her entire court. The brother turned red in the face, yet still tried to confess his deepest wish, to the cruel gathering.
"Ple...ple.. please my my Lady, I would would tru, true, truely ask ask tha that..." He stopped with Tears of frustration in his eyes.
Terrible Tessa leaned towards him, crooning in a soft and gentle voice. " What? what is it your little heart desires from me? What is it you possibly think i would want to hear from a wormy little man like you? Hmmm?" She asked him, with a delicately raised Eyebrow. " What is it little wormy? Spit it out will you, what is it my magnificent self can do for a sad lowly thing like you?" She gave him her best devastatingly gorgeous smile, yet her continued to stare into him spreading a chill from toe tips to nose. Her court laughed, once more. " Crawl" she demanded. " Crawl over to me like the worm you, I'll even give you the honour of whispering your pathetic wants in my exquisite ear." Her soft voice coaxed him.
His knees collapsed beneath him, his small frame tumbling to floor. He dragged his belly across the cold ground, Up the cold marble steps, to grovel at her silken heels. Slowly she bent, pointing her long graceful finger down to him, Tessa lifted his chin up to her ear with the sharp tip of her finger nail. "Speak." she commanded of him, her voice now cold. "Ah ha!' She nodded, her delicate eyebrows raised them elves and fell back. "I see." She smiled as he finished his whispered request in her small bejeweled ear.
A weaker man might have broken down under such treatment, perhaps been intoxicated with his own desires, intimidated or entranced by such a lovely ear. However the small, darkly made brother was true to the deepest depths of his noble heart and manage to compose himself as his knees ached beneath him.
First she didn't answer him. She just bore into his soul with her cold ebony eyes. After many, many moments passed, she simply said, "Perhaps..." He crawled back to him brothers side. His brother, the golden sun child clasped the dark ones shoulder in a way of support then boldly stepped up to the dais. As his eyes were ensnared by those of Terrible Tessa it was almost possible to hear the sound of his will, shattering into millions of tiny pieces.
Like a cat on the prowl tessa leaned forward revealing the cleft of her ample bosom. She purred, " And what is it this pure golden beautiful specimen desires from my magnificent person?" Tessa drawled, lifting her striking figure off her chez, she glided towards him. " What is it you desire..?" she said as her hips swung from side to side."From me?" She came closer and closer.
"You, my Lady." He answered.
She pressed herself against him, hands on his chest she traced circles around, and around his wildly beating heart.
"You," he continued. " To be yours now and forever, to bask in your glory, beauty, your splendor until the end of my days. To feel the glow of your love.Forever."
"My love?" she questioned him. Her pretty head cocked to one side, pursing her lips in thought. "and what would you do for my love? What would you do to DESERVE my love?" he was trapped like a rat in a house cats claws, prey at the mercy of the beast. The room was silent, the mob seemed to sense what the love stuck brothers were oblivious too.
In the mind of the golden man, no one else existed. The world belonged to him and Tessa alone. " Anything" he choked.
"Anything?"
"Anything, my house, my horse, my heart, you can have them all, Ask it and its yours."
"He'll do anything." She cackled, Her court of coarse followed her cue. With a smirk on her beautiful lips she whispered her instructions in to his ear, her musky perfume invaded his nostrils, clouding his mind. As quickly as she was on him, as abruptly she was gone. Back up the dais, in her chez she no longer saw him. The brothers looked at each other, heartsick, pained, defeated. Like a cloud that masks the sun they faded into the crowd.
