If I hadn’t been so terrified of the General I might have been curious what held it up.
The General and his brothers were fascinated by my new markings. They touched all over my leg and explored it. The General even licked it. I would have thought that was odd, but Master Evan probably would have done the sthing. Eventually they were satisfied they had explored it enough.
“I wish to feed it,” the General said.
My owners didn’t hesitate and helpedoff the floating table. I knelt obediently next to the General. He and his brother fedthorough out the meal. I didn’t play any games. I would have tried to eat the plate if he gave it to me.
After dinner the men retired to the lower sitting area. Master Christof pulledto stand, which was good because I needed the help. My leg was starting to ache. I didn’t know how much longer I could kneel on it. Limping slightly, I walked with him into the sitting room.

Thankfully, he pulledto sit on his Lap.
“Your bond is repaired, I see,” the General stated.
Master Damien told him it was.
“The slave was of use then?” the General’s brother asked watching me.
My owners all agreed I had been helpful.
“The Administrators are pleased,“ the General said and then asked.
“What do you plan to do about the slave’s escape attempt?”

“We will take it to the village,” he said decisively.
I’d been to the village. It didn’t seem that bad. I knew they wouldn’t let the shopkeepers touch me, so I wasn’t that worried.
I should have Known something horrible was going to happen. I might have prepared myself for it, but I wasn’t thinking. When they didn’t put the plug in the next morning, I was glad they forgot. They didn’t dress me, but I didn’t let it bother me. We got on a transport Like every other morning but it went the wrong way. ALL of this should have alerted me.

After a long while a building broke the horizon, it was surrounded by the crumbling remains of a town. We drifted to a stop in front of the building. Like Lightening, my collar and cuffs were offand Master Damien pushedfrom the transport pad. I stumbled down and turned to look at him.
The transport raised in the air so it hovered just outside of my reach. fou wished to be free, so here you are,” Master Evan smirked at me.
“No collar to indicate you are owned, no owners to feed or bathe you,”
Master Damien continued.
“Please, no,” I said Looking around.
The area looked deserted. If they Lefthere I would die.
