fiction I hope you enjoy!
Beneficial
Punishment
In the lands of
Yakuit execution and prison time was a waste. In Yakuit punishment
for criminals would only take thirty minutes at most. And also it
would serve the country. It would cause the criminal incredible pain
and possibly even death, but it had come to pass that the punishment
fit the crime. But when times were harsher what “fit the crime”
would change.
This was
because Yakuit was a land of magic. Though magic had to be harvested
by taking the life force from people and society could only justify
it by taking it from criminals. That is why when times were harsh and
wizards needed magic the most to serve the people, the punishments
for crimes would be harsher. But still, a smaller crime would take
less life force than a greater one.
The process of
taking life force involved first tying the victim down. Well, as much
as a victim a criminal could be called. Then a wizard would take one
of the magical orbs used to harvest energy and place it to the
person's heart. Any other body part and nothing would happen. That is
how the wizard was safe while the criminal would have his life force
drained. Though the wizard was only safe mentally.
The wizard
still had to watch the victim squirm, writhe and scream. Even with
gags some screams could be heard. Wrinkles could be seen as years of
life would be taken. But the rational was that they would simply lose
the same amount of years in prison. Red fog came out of the victims
eyes. This was the soul emitting negative life force and wizards
would have to wear protection over their own face just so they
wouldn't fall ill from breathing in much themselves. Enough exposure
could lead them to insanity.
But justice was
justice. And when there was a drought the wizards just needed to go
to the court houses and take the orbs full of life force and use
their energy to bring rain to the land. But as the crops grew people
would know why they could have them. They knew that thievery and
murder brought bread to their table. But to them that's how the world
worked and if there must be crime at least let it feed them.
