==========================================================================

Polaris forcefully nudged Barbara toward the prison cells of the trapped Elemental Descendants. The teenagers quickly turned their attention to Basilisk and rose from their beds and the stone floor, looking at the approaching serpent with worry, anger and fear.

- Hello to you, younglings. - Polaris greeted with a grin glued to his face. The teenagers only looked at him with hatred in response. Well, some of them.

- What do you want, Polaris. - Ophelia spat and her tail rattled hostilely. Lily, Eshter, Jake and Ingrid looked at Barbara, who looked at them with horror and tears began to run down her cheeks.

Lily walked closer to the cell bars and leaned to the woman, looking at her with compassion. She wanted to reach for her with her hand, but probably that big hook on Polaris' back would probably cut her off. It's better not to risk it, because for first aid, she wouldn't have anything to count on.

- Everything will be fine. - Lily whispered silently to Barbara, who shook her head vigorously in denial and tried to say something, but the spell of her torturer prevented her from doing so.

Polaris snapped his tongue. - Ouch, my niece, you are hurting me. Where does this hatred come from? - He asked with false hurt.

Ophelia hissed at him in response and said something in Serpentine. An insult, which Polaris received with amusement. - These swears won't do anything to me, but who taught you this? Wait, let me guess! Your pathetic mother! That...!

- Shut up, you fake Serpentine! Blood traitor! - Ophelia interrupted him and hissed wildly. Being locked in a cage was giving out.

Polaris laughed grimly. - Still not working. However! I'm here to provide you with amazing entertainment! Since you are locked in cages like flea-bitten, unwanted mutts anyway. - He spat, looking at each teenager individually. - I have an amazing show for you! Do you want to know its name?

The teens exchanged distrust looks. 

- If you probably want to say it anyway. - Rose rolled her eyes and turned around to sit on ,,her,, bed.

- I share your enthusiasm, young Garmadon! - Polaris laughed wildly. - Tonight's show will have a name....Choose and die!

- What a creative name that is. - Atlas remarked sarcastically, but after a moment he bit his tongue. He wasn't to speak, not in the presence of his psychopathic ''uncle''.

- Thank you, I know, I'm truly great at coming up with names. Now! Mrs. Barbara and her son Jim Lake will be our players and you the audience. I'll be back here in five minutes, and you guys get ready to watch. 

Along with this, Polaris took Barbara into the darkness. The teenagers looked at each other.

- What do you think? What will he do with this woman? - Flame asked.

- Something bad.... I don't know how about you, but I.... I feel such a aura of creepypasta in the air. - Rose admitted and a thrill went through her.

- Creepypasta, we've had since we were trapped here. - Ernest answered her and leaned with his back against the stone wall.

- Where are our parents!? What's taking them so long!? - Jake called out and stomped his foot on the floor.

- Patience, Jake. I think they are on our trail. They will find us soon, we have to be.... patient. - Eshter replied.

- This we have already told us some.... - Flame began.

- Two days ago. The last mention of patience was said two days ago. - Ingrid said, sitting in the lotus position on the floor in front of Lily's bed.

- It feels like it's been about an hour. - Jake commented and leaned with his back against the bars of the cell.

Then everyone heard muffled screams, and the dragging of something against the floor. And the sounds of approaching skeletons. The teens looked through the bars and out of the shadows emerged Polaris holding Barbara by the arm and some boy about their age in his tail. Two skeletons came up behind him and held some kind of large crate and two wooden chairs, one of them carrying a chain on his shoulder.

Polaris forcibly seated the woman on the wooden chair and the young boy, who were later bound with a chain by the skeleton soldiers. Rose, Ophelia, Ernest and Lily moved closer to the bars to see better in the dark.

- Dismissed. Stand aside and wait for my orders. - Polaris hissed at the skeletons, and they obediently followed the order. Polaris turned the chairs toward the cell and looked at the trapped in front of him.

- I guess it's time to start our game, right? - Polaris smiled broadly at the teenagers. They all furrowed their brows, looking worriedly at those trapped in the chairs.

Barbara now had her mouth tied with a cloth, as did Jim, who looked at people his age with horror.

- What kind of game? - Jake asked.

- Oh, very funny game... For me! - Polaris burst out laughing ominously, before grunting and looking at his wrist, thinking that there was his wristwatch ( which in reality, he never had). - Okay, we're running out of time. Let's get started! - he clapped his hands.

- Listen, my prisoners. You have a choice of numbers from one to one hundred. You tell me the number and I make a surprise for our guests. Don't be shy, I'll listen to every option. I have the right surprises in my head for each number.

- Is it... dangerous for them? - Atlas went straight to the point, looking at Basilisk skeptically.

- This is a surprise, my nephew. - Polaris sent him a sly smirk. - Don't ask unnecessary questions, just tell me the numbers!

They all looked at each other slightly nervous. Rose raised an eyebrow and said. - One.

Polaris's enthusiasm subsided and was replaced by sulking. - Seriously? One? Argh... I expected something better, like.... 66, but so be it. For warm up!

Polaris moved over to Barbara and forcibly pulled out her right hand. Barbara tried to jerk, but Polaris was stronger than her.

- What do you want to do? - Eshter questioned worried. - Why do you need her hand?

Polaris. - Unnecessary questions are not welcome here! Last warning, otherwise our players will receive a punishment. - He warned and stretched the woman's hand high for everyone to see. - Okay, Rose Garmadon has chosen number one! And the surprise number one is...! 

The smirk on Polaris's lips quickly widened, he wrapped his hands around her hand. He quickly  with a determined pull, snapped Barbara's arm with a crack. The woman let out a shrill scream, which was muffled by the tape.

The children of the Masters of the Elements gasped or screamed. They stared wide-eyed at what had happened before a second. Lily stepped back violently, and Flame covered Ingrid's eyes, who was the most innocent of the nine.

- One of a hundred. Only ninety-nine numbers left. Who's next? - Polaris asked unmoved by what had happened. Barbara began to sob in pain and panic, feeling the pain in her entire hand. Only a stern silence answered him, and he turned back to the trapped.

- There is nothing to be afraid of. This is a one-time game, plus! No one will know about it, it will be our secret. - Polaris whispered  to the trapped with a sly smirk. - You must hurry, though, because time is limited. There is only an hour and a half left.

The teenagers were silent, horrified when they realized what that this game was. This game, is a hidden form of torture and for the lives of the imprisoned mother and son, they are responsible.

- CHOOSE THE NEXT NUMBER OR THEY GET PUNISHMENT!!! - Polaris roared at the teenagers, who remained silent. Everyone, even the skeletons, flinched at his roar.

- Ten! - Jake yelled. Polaris calmed down and slowly his mood returned. - The next number, ten.

Polaris smiled again and now moved over to Jim. - Ten! Jake Walker chose the number ten! And the surprise behind this number is...! - Polaris then extended his claws and hit Jim hard, ten times in the face.

Lily groaned and she and Eshter covered their eyes, unable to look at it. - Where are our parents when they are needed!?

- Okay, surprise number ten ticked off the list of choices. Now! Dare to dare and maybe choose a larger number, eh?

Ernest looked at Jim, whose cheeks were red and scratched from the strokes. He looked at his siblings, who looked on in horror at what was happening. - 45.

Polaris looked at Ernest and smiled. - 45....! Ernest Moorington chosed the number 45! And the surprise under 45 is....!

Polaris moved to a metal box and started rummaging through it. After a while he pulled out an item.... Another cloth. Corruption turned to the skeleton. - Bring me boiling water. In a flash!

The skeleton nodded and moved quickly into the darkness. Polaris turned to his "audience". - So, since the surprise at number 45 is in progress, why don't we choose the next number? Who's next?

Ophelia looked at her ,,uncle'' with disgust and looked sympathetically at Barbara and Jim. - My turn.... 25.

Polaris smiled satisfied. - 25! Ophelia chose the number 25! And the surprise that lies beneath it is....! - Polaris reached into his robe and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He quickly lit one cigarette and inhaled heavily, so that the cigarette was very glowing.

Polaris looked then at Barbara then at Jim. - Meh, you have a better connection with this traitor. The kid can watch. - He stated with a smirk and licked his lips, moving closer to Barbara.

Along with this, he brought the cigarette to her face, where it was glowing, and pressed it hard against her eye area. Barbara made a muffled screaming sound and sobbed uncontrollably in pain as tears streamed down her face.

The teenagers looked on helplessly, frozen in horror at what was happening. Polaris took the cigarette after three minutes and threw it somewhere behind him. - Okay, time for surprise number 45! - He announced when the skeleton returned with a jug of hot water.

Polaris looked at Jim and smiled. - It's time for you, kid. I promise nothing will hurt.... It will hurt like hell!!

Jim tried to fight, but instead got a fist to the stomach. After a while, a cloth was tied around his face and Polaris took the jug from the skeleton. With a satanic smile, the snake began to pour water on his face, and grabbed him with a firm grip on his neck to make him stand still.

Torture was happening before their eyes as if in a noose. They exposed the lives of innocent people to torture from the Death Eater's. The young promised to themselves that this sight would be with them for the rest of their lives and live in their nightmares.

- Okay, next! Who dares? - Polaris questioned as he finished his punishment on Jim. The young boy was breathing heavily and sobbing in pain with his face still covered.

- Two. Number two. - Flame sighed and looked down. Polaris quickly smiled and his hook on his back began to move. After a moment, he swung it and nicked Jim's chest. He made a large wound from which blood began to flow, not very deadly, but the pain was unmerciful.

- Next number, I'll choose. I choose.... Number, to warm up, number seven. - Polaris announced and swung his tail, which hit Barbara hard in the face.

- Next number. Choose well, you won't regret it. - Polaris assured and licked his lips.

- Number five. - Ernest said again and turned his back on the scene. Polaris smiled again and his hands began to glow dark purple. After a while, five daggers appeared around him, glowing the same color. - Number five, is....! - along with this, one dagger was thrust into Barbara's bare left hand and pierced all the way through, the second cut Jim's hair, sloppily of course, the third nicked Barbara's cheek, the fourth nicked Jim's thigh and the fifth was thrown at the guards.

- The next number.

The teens were silent and silent. Polaris furrowed his eyebrows deeply and hissed at them. - CHOOSE THE NEXT NUMBER!!!

- No, we will not participate in this sick game of yours! - Atlas cried out and shook his head vigorously in denial.

- They are people, Polaris! Leave them alone! - Ophelia hissed.

- We will not be the ones who put their hand to what you are doing! - Ernest announced and backed away slightly.

Polaris clenched his hands into fists and began to shake uncontrollably again, this time from anger. He hissed furiously and loudly. - If you don't want to play, then don't! I will still do my job.... Revenge on the traitor. GUARDS!!

Two skeletons on guard quickly approached their commander as several others come out from the shadows. Each of them, had a different type of weapon strapped to his belt.

- Execute Order 66.... Kill my slaves. - Polaris ordered and hid his hands behind his back. The skeletons quickly drew their weapons, axes, swords, clubs and even one of them a pistol. Polaris stood to the side.

The skeletons blocked the view of the trapped teenagers from Polaris's victims and approached them. Barbara began breathing heavily, looking frantically around her. Ophelia tried to look through the skeletons to see what would happen, but someone grabbed her by the tail.

Ophelia turned around and saw Lily holding her by the tail. Tears appeared in the red-haired girl's eyes, and her face was pale with guilt and fear. Lily silently shook her head and looked at the floor.

It was too late. Barbara and Jim had finally met their fate, and that fate was tragic. And all because of a monster who was as hard as stone and as cold as ice. Polaris, that Polaris we knew is gone forever, and he knows full well that he will one day have to face punishment, but no.

His body, soul and mind are devoted to Nerath. And Nerath, as soon as he dies, would bring him back to life. And so again, and again and again, for all eternity.

Because he... He become cursed for eternity.
