Sadly, I have always imagined it could have gone exactly like this. The horror of it! Anyway, really, really like this. I hope you do continue it. Very nicely expressed.

And, congrats, for writing and sharing it. It takes courage to take up writing fiction again if one has not done it for while.

Congratulations on breaking your hiatus from creative writing with such a deliciously creepy little piece!  Very effective imagery as well as delving into each character's experience of bondage.  The closing paragraph is pitch perfect.

I'm thrilled with your concept, i.e., the Valar as a technologically advanced species (recall Clarke's Third Law) who are not, uh, necessarily benign.  There are a few of us out there, including myself, who have taken similar, but not identical, approaches.  Anyway, I'm keenly interested to see where you go with it.  This prologue has certainly piqued my interest!

As an aside, I highly recommend Dawn's Hastaina.
