Title: Cruel Treatment
Fandom: The Fantastic Journey
Summary: Varian’s first encounter with people on the island was not a pleasant one.
The privateers’ captain, Sir James Camden, had seemed quite hospitable at first, but that hadn’t lasted. He was both a suspicious and a superstitious man, demanding to know how Varian had arrived on the island and where he was from, and yet refusing to believe anything his ‘guest’ told him.
Varian lay face down on the dirty straw in the cell, his back burning with agony from the flogging he’d received as punishment for telling Camden the truth. He’d never before suffered such cruelty, couldn’t understand how anyone could treat another person so callously.
He knew he had to escape.
The End

Title: Maintenance
Fandom: The Fantastic Journey
Summary: The sonic energiser is Varian’s most valued possession.
Varian sat quietly by the campfire, polishing the sonic energiser with a soft cloth, examining it for any sign of damage; proper maintenance of the device was important. There was no one on the island who would be capable of repairing it, and there could be no replacing it should it became lost or broken.
That was partly why he’d hated Halyana taking it from him, because it wasn’t merely the tool by which he carried out his duties as a healer, it was almost a part of him. Without it, he felt diminished, vulnerable; it wasn’t a comfortable feeling.
