SWNOVELS Chapter 25
I imagined I must look Like a brown Lump from the outside.
“Ciara,” Master Damien said facing me, “outside these walls are others who will
not appreciate you. Having a slave is a privilege, most cannot afford it. Speak to
no one, including us. You will be punished severely if you speak in the village.
Can you do this?”
“Yes, Master Damien,” I said.
We walked out a thick door nestled Low in the wall. The men allowed me to
follow Master Damien out and then took up positions. The men were on either
side and behind me; I was surrounded.
The way they moved and the tight grouping they held told me two things First, I
couldn’t run from them out here. It wasn’t Like I had anywhere to go anyway. The
second thing was that no one else on this street was going to touch me. Since
running was out of the question and I felt safe, I was able to just look around,
ANGELA'SLIBRARY
The area was alive. There were men everywhere standing outside the large
buildings that lined the narrow streets. Everything looked like it had been made
out of putty colored sand. Strange paintings adorned the outsides of the
buildings. I wondered if that wasn't their “language.
I had shopped a lot at flea markets and it felt like that. The street itself was
crowded with tent vendors outside the main buildings. No one said a word to our
entourage. I made good use of my “peripherals’ and noticed almost all the
vendors held something out toward my owners. It was a silent request to look.
They never got in our way or spoke to us.
One man up ahead with a stand had what Looked Like earrings and they got my
attention. Despite my circumstances, I still noticed the beautiful jewelry. Shiny
things always grabbed my eyes. My mom had teased me about that.
I tried not to turn my head as we passed the earring vendor's cart and sort of
succeeded. One pair had a silver loop with a blue stone floating in the middle. I
liked those.
From behind me Master Bane made a sound and Master Damien stopped. He
came to a stop in front of the vendor's cart and my owners rearranged
themselves around me.
“Point to what you are Looking at,” Master Evan said gruffly under his breath.
I had tried to be sly, but I must have been obvious. I quickly gestured with my
mittened hand to the set I had seen, but retracted it quickly.
The salesman had Looked curiously at it; like he wanted to touch me.
Master Damien bartered with the man and handed him several pieces of stone
from inside his belt. He retrieved the earrings from the salesman and passed
them to the back of our group. Master Christof placed them in a small pouch at
his waist.
As we walked away Master Evan quietly asked Master Damien, “Do you know
what we just bought, brother?”
“No, but it does and the things are in our colors,” he answered and kept his brisk
pace through the vendors.
We came to a Large wall and Master Damien didn’t even have to knock, it just
opened to us. I followed him past the guard at the gate. We were in a courtyard
with what seemed Like Little shops all around.
I saw other groups of armed men present with Little brown bundled creatures in
their midst. It was quieter here and only Warriors with slaves seemed to be
present. These shops must cater to them, I thought.
