[ Minus ]
-Is on the main street of Minus which is lined with shops and vendors, and the odd inn and tavern...-

says to ALL: I walk up one of the main streets of Minus and then out the gates, heading towards the villa that Cimber's missive said was for sale. This one was up near the north west corner of the town, and had been vacant for over two months. I'd heard that the person who originally owned it had moved out, selling it to another merchant in the town. None had the coin apparently to do all the renovations that would be required in order to properly fix it up. I see that there are relatively broken down gates out by the street itself. B I stand waiting to see if my slave girl is going to catch up before crossing through the gates, I knew that the current owner was here, and that they would be ready to negotiate for the building. The grounds were nice, gardens and such, and the building was rather large, with a small guest house out back that would work for my second in command Omega.

-In a villa part of a large orchard or plantation situated just outside of Minus...-

says to ALL: Seeing that she is not catching up quite yet I push open the rusted steel gates and step onto the grounds. They are overgrown with weeds, and the flowers are out of control. It would take some time to replace or repair everything around here. I knew that my girl would find a way to do what she could, and the rest of my crew at the Metal Works could pick up some extra hours and extra coin helping out. I walk up the beautiful stone path to the front door, looking over the building itself. It would certainly work, it just needed some work. The shale of the roof looked solid at least, and as I reached the front door that looked like it was solid as well. I push the door open, the ground floor room is huge, with a fireplace along one wall, but it is completely empty, besides the cobwebs and dust that is. I see the current owner standing in the middle of the room waiting for me. He looks like a wealthy merchant, someone that purchases buildings like this all the time. I reach him and shake his hand in greeting, his name apparently was Visuvius and he was a long term resident of Ar, coming to Minus only to buy and sell properties such as this one.

-In a villa part of a large orchard or plantation situated just outside of Minus...-

says to ALL: The villa was outside of the walls of Minus and had an amazing view of the Voltai mountains off in the distance. It was quiet out here, the villa would need an incredible amount of work, but that was to be expected. I figured that this Visuvius had to be a motivated seller, considering he'd had his coin sunk into the building for over two months. He takes me around to all the rooms, four bedrooms upstairs, the great room and fireplace downstairs along with a nice kitchen. In the back was a two bedroom guest house that was in reasonably good shape. The merchant sets out a map of the town and marks off what property is owned as part of this parcel. He goes over the attributes of the house, the vineyards and the few outbuildings and barns that were part of the property. I was particularly interested in the barns as my two trained sleen would be arriving in the next day or so, and I needed a place for Ren and Stimpy to be boarded. In addition there was room for a tarn cot, that would hold at least three or four tarn. After he shows me the buildings and grounds we walk back inside. "Alright" I say, "how much for the property?" The shrewd merchant looks at me and says, "I could not possibly sell this for less than three gold coins." I laugh, knowing that he needed to get rid of the place, "I tell you what, I will make an offer of one gold, either take it or leave it."

says to ALL: We go back and forth several more times, finally settling on one gold, and two silver for the property. He tells me that he will get the information to a scribe in Minus to have the deed made up for me, but that from this moment on I was the official owner of this villa. I would have to bring my girl out here soon to see it, I wondered where she was as I thought she would have caught up with me by now. I am given the keys to all the buildings and we both sign on a preliminary deed for the property. Visuvius shakes my hand and heads out the door, whistling a tune obviously glad to be rid of the place. I grin, looking around the empty building and thinking about what it may become. I would have the tarn cots readied and my two tarn, Drago and Bastian brought out right away, the sleen were being kept outside of town as to not alarm anyone and they could be brought in right away. I smile, walking out the door and shutting it behind me, heading off to complete some work for the Metal Works.

says to Ex’s apple .pomme.Proper: I wait for you to catch up outside the gates of the new villa I bought last night. Looking back at you with a grin, "what do you think? It is pretty nice huh? A great view, but it is going to need a lot of work." I say as you see Omega fly overhead with my tarn Drago, landing it in one of the tarn cots out behind the building.

-In a villa part of a large orchard or plantation situated just outside of Minus...-

says to . |..Exavier Exeter..| .: I hurried up behind you, I could see the the two storied, at least from the outside I saw no indication of a cellar, villa with its sprawling vines that had grown ramshackle across the properties, the talendar blooms blowing in the wind as they left the vine and danced across the overgrown grasses. There were flowerbeds here and there of flammarion and other blooms as well as a small vineyard in the back and what appared to be a pool or fountain that lay empty and unused. I smiled at you and moved to your left and just behind as I spoke quietly "its beautiful, Master, with a little work and a lot of cleaning I think it will be put back to rights in no time."

says to Ex’s apple .pomme.Proper: I grin back at you as I push the heavy gate open, it squeaks on its hinges and I figure that is something else I will want to repair at some point. We walk in through the gate and down a long stone pathway to the front door of the villa. The grasses alongside the path were overgrown, and looked disused, "I was able to get a pretty good price, all the paperwork is being prepared in Minus but a preliminary deed has been signed by both parties." I say as we walk up, you can hear Drago moving around in the tarn cot, "my sleen were finally brought in too, I have had them for many years, I killed their mother when they were just pups and raised them." I say motioning towards a pen out in the back, the barn that the pen was in was old an run down but sturdy. "Ren and Stimpy." I say motioning in their direction, "have you ever been hunting before mine?"

-In a villa part of a large orchard or plantation situated just outside of Minus...-

says to . |..Exavier Exeter..| .: I looked over the grasses critically, once a male slave was hired or bought to come in and cut it down I'd arrange to have it taken out back and piled up to be set aside to begin a compost heap. Nothing in the villa that was reusable would go to waste and would in turn go towards the rebuilding and planting of the grounds and gardens and vineyards. I smiled at you and shook my head, sending the bright curls dancing about bare shoulders "no, Master, I have been hunted though, and was actually the last slave to be caught for the morning's portion of the events" I said with no small amount of pride. It had frustrated the free citizens of the fair village that I had managed to evade them so easily, the men in particular, but in the end the Lady Sabra of the purple paintballs had managed to bring me down.

says to Ex’s apple .pomme.Proper: "hmmm, you like to be hunted too?" I say with a grin, "perhaps I would have to use you mercilessly when I caught up to you." I say with a laugh, not telling you that I was an expert tracker and hunter, having survived for several years in the forest by myself, nearly a feral barbarian before Vantes found me and taught me how to kill men instead of animals. I walk along the edge of the house with you, back towards another one of the barns, this one might have originally been for vulo or something, it had a full cage set up, I point inside of that, "and there are my two forest panthers, I also got them when they were cubs, Iccarus and Marika." I say pointing into the caged in area at the two full grown panthers. "They are more difficult to train though." It was nice to finally have most of the things I have accumulated over the years coming in to Minus, Omega and Cristof had not been too keen on transporting the panthers, but they seemed to have traveled well. "There is also a small guest house in the back that will be Omega's home for the time being." I did not mention that it would need quite a bit of work as well as that was obvious by looking at it. "Ren and Stimpy are trained by whistle and voice commands and are excellent trackers and hunters, the two panthers are good hunters too, but I am afraid someone would kill them if I let them out long enough to hunt on their own." I say to you as we walk by the expanse of the vineyard, everything was dead but the wooden racks for grapes and stuff were still visible. Though it was obvious the villa had not been used in a very long time, it was still in reasonably good shape structurally.

I laughed quietly and winked at you "sometimes, Master, sometimes" I murmured. "but I suspect I would enjoy the hunt if you were chasing me" I grinned up at you with a half dimpled smile as we walked along the grounds together and you pointed out your panthers. I admired the beauty of the savage creatures and looked at you "are they tame, Master?" I asked curiously, wondering how they were going to be fed and cared for if you or your men were not about and if they would have problems with me caring for them. In fact with the accumulation of animals I would have to find out if special arrangements would need to be made for their upkeep and maintence should you or your men ever leave or go away for any length of time. I looked at the arbor for the grapes and bent as I thrust my fingers into the thick loamy earth and felt the roots amid the moist soil. They were still live and could possibly be salvaged for revival in the spring once all the dead growth was pared away for the winter and they were carefully wrapped and packed up against the snows and storms. It would be a lot of work, but I wanted to have fresh grapes and a place to lounge in the spring and summer so it would be worth the effort.

says to Ex’s apple .pomme.Proper: "the only animal that I own that you need to worry about is Bastian the tarn, never go near him without me, he only behaves for me, if I am ever out of town just throw meat into his tarn cot and leave him be." I say to you, "the panthers on the other hand are tame, and the sleen would not hurt you unless they were commanded to by me." I watch you bend down to run your fingertips through the soil, I admired your beautiful ass for a few moments, tipping my head to the side and licking my lips. Totally distracted for a few moments but then I look back around the grounds, "another night I will introduce you to Iccarus and Marika." Iccarus was about ninety pounds, sleek and full of muscle, Marika was about 60 pounds, slender and beautiful. I would need to find a way to keep fresh meat on hand all the time for the animals, but that was something I could work out later. I thought perhaps there was a butcher in the market I could speak with. "I don't know much about growing things though, do you think the grapes could be salvaged?" I as as I walk up behind you and slide my fingertips against your shoulders while you check the grapes.

says to . |..Exavier Exeter..| .: I already knew about that flying bucket of original recipe and I'd give him a wide berth since he looked about as fond of me as I was of him. "Yes, Master, I'm rather fond of my arms and hands and he looks like he'd just snap them off" I laughed. I pulled my fingers from the soil and let the dirt filter through them, then stood to look at the vines, here and there I could see small shoots of green amid the brown overgrowth where they'd managed to choke anything that had tried to put forth its leaves each season. "Once all the dead weight is gone, I think it'll be fine, Master, you can see that it still has live growth upon it but theres just so much dead vines that it strangled anything new that tried to come up, but I'll get rid of it all, and then pack up some of the shoots and buds to protect them but they should be just fine once its been pruned down quite a bit." I eyed the whole kit and caboodle, I didn't know too much about vineyards but some of it was common sense and to be sure I'd talk with Trei since he had his own vineyard going on as well. I smiled as you touched my shoulders and looked over at you as I pointed to the small pool "shall we look at that and decide what you want to do with it? that way we can rebuild and fill it over the winter and maybe come summer it'll be something nice to swim and laze about in" my words were pert, mischevious even but the look in my eyes was anything but and promised afternoons and evenings filled with delight in the waters by moons light.

says to Ex’s apple .pomme.Proper: "well, in Bastian's defense, he has only eaten like a half a dozen thralls in his whole life." I say with a bit of a laugh. I hear you talking about the vineyards, they were just part of the property but it sounded like you knew what to do with them, so I would supply you with whatever raw materials you needed and leave you to it. I reach my hands down against your sides as we stand there for a moment, looking out over the view in the distance. "Good, well let me know what you need to get the plants going again and I will go find it at the market or elsewhere." I say to you as I let my fingertips slide against your stomach, looking down at you standing in front of me. I was getting distracted from checking out the villa, mmmm, you looked so amazingly sexy tonight. I blink and take in a deep breath to clear my head as you start talking about the pool. "Well, we will have to see what it looks like once it is cleaned out." I say to you as we walk towards it, "it would be nice to have some place to take a dip, and maybe to fuck in once in a while." I say casually, as we finally reach the edge of the pool and look down into it, "it does not look too bad mine."

-In a villa part of a large orchard or plantation situated just outside of Minus...-

says to . |..Exavier Exeter..| .: I wrinkled my nose, only half a dozen indeed. I knew enough about plants from growing herbs and flowers with my mother that I could manage a bit of the grounds work and the rest I could consult with various people for their knowledge but the land was fertile and would do the rest of the work with careful pruning and fertilizing. "aye, Master, you may need to rent a male slave to do some of the heavier work and building unless Masters Omega or Cristof are of a mind to do it" I gave a distracted sigh as your hand slipped across my taut belly, that tightening sensation growing as it always did at your touch made my head light as I leaned against you before we went to look at the pool. It would have to be cleaned out and refilled, perhaps some water reeds at the edges once water was added but that was easily done "It looks wonderful, Master, maybe a large waterproofed cloth lining the back of a wagon and a trip down to the river?" I wasn't too sure, the light was beginning to wane, maybe there was some sort of plumbing beneath, once the undergrowth was cleared away I'd be able to tell for sure in the morning.

says to Ex’s apple .pomme.Proper: "yeah, I am going to need a few thralls, both for the forge and for the grounds and properties. Though Omega and Christof are both hard workers, as are my other men, I would not set them out to do the back breaking labor that will be required to get some of this ready, I will have to go find a slaver's house." I say to you as I considered I would need at least five or six NPC thralls to assist in the cleaning out and building up of all the things here. Though I would ask you to do much hard work, I did not want you to end up with calloused hands, since those hands felt so good when they were stroking my cock. "We will have to figure out some way to get water up here, but I am sure we can find a solution to that as well." I say as I lead you away from the pool and towards the house itself, "I am going to speak with a merchant tomorrow in Minus and have at least a bed and a few chairs delivered to the villa so we have a place to sleep and such, but then we will have to start looking for all the other furnishings." I say as I push open the front door and walk inside, it is dark, so I reach over and take one of the torches on the wall. Using a flint to strike against steel and light it, showing off the inside of the great room of the villa, with the huge fireplace against one wall.

I nodded in agreement, they did not seem of the low caste to do such work and I would be able to direct the male slaves in what could be done and where. Already I had in mind where I wanted the compost heap out behind the kitchen so that scraps could be discarded daily. I followed you into the villa and immediately sneezed as the dust flew up. I knew the first order of business and would see about getting the male slaves to do the cleaning of rafters from up high, that way if they fell the only broken necks would be theirs and not mine. After all, they were replaceable and a copper per the double handful or something like that. I looked around the spacious great room as you held the torch up high, the fireplace lovely and would look beautiful once it was decorated with some of your pelts or other such things as men seemed to collect when they did their hunting stuff and things. "welcome Home, Master" I said as I looked around and then at you with a wide grin of happiness suffusing my features.

I say to you as I take your arm and lead you over to the furs, looking down at them, the villa was completely silent other than the occasional sound from animals outside, and the crackling of the torch. I turn you to face me and lean over, giving you a hard kiss on the mouth, my hands sliding against your hips again, pulling you against me, enjoying having you all alone and to myself out here in the villa. My tongue flicking into your mouth as my hands begin to explore the smooth skin of your body. I'd been wanting to at least have a look at the grounds tonight, soon we would explore the rest of the house, see if it had a basement, that kind of stuff. My tongue flicking against yours as we finally reach the furs themselves.

says to ALL: -I'd come out here with Aristo to do the land survey. Looking over the property and measuring how much land Ex had. The condition of the soil and such was good. The buildings needed work but I knew he was capable of that. I made notes so I could draw up the papers once back in my office. Aristo stood looking and was teasing that I should buy something bigger. I cast him a glance as I was fine where I was. I did a final walk about and made a few more notes. Looking at Aristo I moved back to the small wagon and waited for him to guide it back to Minus. It was nice out here but it would be way too much for just me and the slaves I had. Closing my leather folder I leaned back as the small wagon moved forward-

says to ALL: -once back in Minus I headed to my office to finish the paperwork I'd started on. The deed could now be finished and the value of the land documented. As he made improvements the land would increase in value. My numbers gave it a starting point to show the improvements and increases. Removing my gloves I opened the file cabinet and took out Ex's file. Nearing the desk I sat down and opened the file and the leather folder I'd taken out to his place. I made a few adjustments and notes then proceeded to finish the deed. It would state that Exavier owned the land, any buildings on the land and anything minerals in the future that may be found. You never knew when digging when you'd find something of value. This protected Ex and allowed him to keep what was found. The previous owners and Minus would have no claims. The vineyard though small had the potential to be profitable. He had a nice place out there.-

I signed each one with a flourish and set them aside to dry. I'd send word Ex that all 3 were ready to sign as Alex's papers ready to pick up. I put the notes in Ex's file and put my things away. Now that was finished I smiled and sat there a moment before writing the note to send to Ex's villa, or perhaps I should send to the forge-

says to ..|. The Scribbler .|.. : I reach into my pack and retrieve a small leather pouch. I take this pouch out and untie the small leather strap that is around it. You could see me being careful which was unusual for me, but after all the work that I put in to these I did not want to damage them. Plus the points were as sharp as a sword point and I did not want to get any blood all over your new hair pins. I unfurl the leather around the three pins, sliding the leather and the pins themselves across the table towards you. You would see that they were very close to the drawing you gave me, and that they each had three emeralds set in them, of a couple of karats each. They were made of bronze which would make them very durable, and had been fashioned in a way that they could be used as weapons if you really needed them to be. "Well, I was able to find a few shiny rocks that matched your drawing but I am not sure if they are exactly the same color, I figured I would include them anyway." I say as I show you the hair pins, "your other project will be completed soon."

says to |. . Exavier Exeter . .|: -seeing you being so careful was indeed odd. I recalled that night in the furniture shop and your clumsiness. An amused grin formed while watching you. Leaning in once you produced the specially made hair pins I took in a soft breath. They had turned out better than I hoped they would. I noted the stones and listened as you said you found the shiny "rocks". Looking at you and whispering-....You and those shiny rocks Ex...-taking a pin and holding it, inspecting the craftmanship, not that I doubted your work. A finger pushed against the tip and I smiled. Yes that would inflict some pain when shoved at tender parts on a body. Looking at you again-....they are wonderful Exavier, truly wonderful. You outdid yourself on these. Thank you!....-looking at the emeralds as they were my favorite of all the gems, turning the pin so the gem caught the light-....beautiful

says to ..|. The Scribbler .|.. : I watch you as you look over the pins and then take one up in your hand. Usually I was quite confident in my work, but these were so delicate and I had such big calloused hands I was not sure if I would be able to get them exactly how you had them in the drawing. Of course you knew more about me now that you had begun handling all of my financial affairs, I wondered if I would have a large influx of ill gotten coin soon to have you help me launder. That of course was a conversation for another day. I could see that you were very much enjoying how they turned out and that made me feel good about the work that I had performed in making them. "yes, well you know, I thought those were rather nice shiny rocks." I say to you with a slow nod, still playing the poor humble blacksmith for any that could overhear us talking at the tables. "Please consider them a gift, I have a project coming up soon that I may need your help with, and perhaps these can offset some of the costs associated." I did not tell you more of the project, I did not even know if either of the two things I was working on would produce the kind of gold coin that I thought they would. "and you said that you have something for me as well?"

Lips tugged into a knowing grin as I nodded gently-....Ex you know I'd help you in any way I can. Just let me know when and what you need when the time is right.........yes I do I have Alexander's apprentice papers, a copy for each of you. They require only your signature confirming that you are indeed teaching him...-Opening the folder I pulled those 3 out and slid them along with a pen to you. I'd already signed them and put my seal on at the bottom, you'd see where your signature was needed. I'd wait for the deed paperwork and appraisal until you were finished with those 3 papers first-

I of course trusted your work but wanted to be sure that I did not give you any incorrect information to begin with. After looking them over I see that they are adequate and I look for your quill and ink. Finding it I start to sign each of the pieces of paper with my name, and undersigning as the owner of the Exeter Metal Works. You could see that I was left handed, and signed my name neatly, almost as if I had to sign lots of official documents at some other point in my life. Finished with the three of them I slide them back across the table to you, "I will ask that Alexander come see you in your office when I run into him next, or if you see him please let him know the paperwork is ready for his signature to finalize it."

That did surprise me a bit as most men that worked like you did weren't much for writing. I was surprised to see your signature so neat and eyes lifted to look at you as if questioning how you attained that but I got the feeling that was a story for a different time so I wouldn't say a thing for now. I tucked them away and pulled out your appraisal and deed papers. I wouldn't say anything about the appraisal value but it was certainly HIGHER than what you'd paid and you'd note that in the final statement at the bottom. The deed relinquished any previous owner's of any rights to your land, buildings and anything you'd find out there once you started building, renovating and demolishing. I again waited for you to sign all three. You'd note my signature and the second appraiser's as well. I was thorough and the deed was ironclad, to your benefit-

says to ..|. The Scribbler .|.. : After finishing with the apprenticeship paperwork I move on to the deed for the villa just outside of Minus. I look it over, this time pouring over the details a bit more carefully as I was interested in a few of the items. I shuffle back through the paperwork to find the appraisal. I then begin to read that, eyes darting over the facts and figures. Turning further back for the surveyors report, so that I could see exactly where the property lines were drawn. Perhaps you thought to yourself, how would a blacksmith, even one not nearly as simple and humble as he seemed know anything about surveyors reports and appraisals? I flip back to the first page again, checking for how binding the contract was, "so, what did we end up with for an appraisal amount?" I ask, still playing the simple blacksmith, like I could not see the numbers in black and white on the appraisal report. The seller had been very motivated, the property run down and overgrown with weeds, I'd paid him what I considered to be less than half the overall value, at least the value once the builders had finished renovating it. As you respond to that I scan down and initial in a few places where I need to and then sign the bottom of each of the three copies of the deed.

Most probably wouldn't notice but I knew most didn't hav a clue usually and its why my caste came in so handy for many. As you asked about the final appraisal I leaned foorward and pointed to the last line where the final value was and it read 5 gold. I smiled as I spoke-....you pratically stole that land and its buildings....-either you had a good eye for good property of the person just wanted out quick. I hadn't met the previous owner but they took their money and ran.-...Once you fix it up that could easily triple or more and you'd make a tidy profit in selling down the road

I huff softly trying to add to the dramatic effect of the whole thing. I knew you were not buying it though. I push the paperwork back across the table to you as it is all signed. "Thank you for your assistance in this matter, as such a low caste I should barely be able to read, much less make heads or tails out of this kind of paperwork." I say, I knew now that you did as good of work as I expected, when it did come time to find a place to launder large amounts of coin I was sure that you were the right person to do it for me.

-Is on the main street of Minus which is lined with shops and vendors, and the odd inn and tavern...-

says to ALL: I walked quietly down the main street that led toward the gates, a large basket with small implement within it for the removal of fronds and water reeds rattling around the bottom as I decided I'd go gather lilies and reeds for the outdoor pool and fountain before the weather got so cold that the ground would be too hard to dig into. I wore the serviceable grey kirtle that my owner had purchased for me just a few nights past as well as the knee high boots, I knew that the terrain I'd be traversing over was uneven and rocky at best from experience. At least this time I wasn't being chased by a pack of paintball wielding free hell bent on marking me and the other girls of Minus up.

says to ALL: As I approached the gate, the guards on duty stopped me, laughing as they passed me back and forth between each other taking the time to run large hands over my lithe frame beneath the garment that both concealed and revealed creamy flesh and curves more suited to pleasuring men than being hidden away beneath a woolen kirtle. I pressed myself too them, unable to help myself, before explaining where I was going, giving precise directions lest I be taken for a runaway slave and chased down. My departure and the time were duly noted should there be any inquiry by my owner or the Administrator and Primus of Minus and once more I was outside the walls of the city and headed towards the banks of the Verle.

-In the open fields surrounding the town of Minus...-

says to ALL: I hefted the basket to my hip as I trudged through the open fields, quickly putting space between the walled town and myself as I headed for the banks of the river that fed into the Verle Lake, I could see the peasants working the fields side by side with their slaves and one or two of the female slaves grudgingly catcalled after me, as it was readily apparent that I wasn't a mat or kettle slave. With a smirk of amusement I continued through the fields, heading towards the woodline for the brief trek that would bring me to the first streambed.

I saw a few bushes that bore berries, who's rounded globes would be exceptionally sweet for having stayed this long on the branch and tried to remember the spot for the trip back to Minus.

says to ALL: I walked until I found a small pool and removed my boots and put them upon a rock, then slipped the woolen warmth of the kirtle over my arms and head before folding it neatly and settling it on the tops of the boots to stay dry. Naked once again, I gave a little shiver as the cold air caressed my quickly cooling flesh and raised a small path of goosebumps across the creamy skin as I picked up the small knife and the digging stick and waded into the water gingerly. I made for a stand of water reeds, thrusting the digging stick deeply into the water to remove the reeds root and all, taking care to leave as much mud around them as possible to help the transition to the new pool go smoother. I set the reeds in a small pile at the water's edge before taking the knife and going to one of the trees and cutting a large leaf from it and bringing it back to the water and pressing handfuls of mud within it before wrapping it around the root bases and setting it within the basket carefully. From time to time I moved so that the water got hip deep and carefully uprooted a few large floating lily pads and wrapped the roots as I had those of the water reeds.

-Is on or around the Verl River north of the town, a tributary of the mighty Vosk River...-

says to ALL: I worked quickly now, trying to stay as dry as possible as I pulled root and bulb from the muddy waters for transplanting back at the villa. Within no time I had a small pile that went into a mud filled leaf to keep damp and that too went into the basket before I rinsed my hands and feet and wiped them dry upon the soft grasses and began to pull my clothing back on so that I could head back towards Minus before it became too dark and my owner would be troubled to come find me. I kept walking until I found my small rock cairn and carefully scattered the rocks before heading up the hill, pushing the basket up each ledge of the embankment as I worked my way up the roots of the large trees and pulled my way back up the main bank of the small woods and began to search for that berry bush I'd seen on the trip down to the water.

-In the sparsely wooded area north of Minus...-

says to ALL: I kept walking up the hill, the wide basket filled with greenery making the trip not as easy back as it was heading into the woods, but with the abundance of plant life around the water it had been worth it. I could see my boot prints and followed them until I came to the small stand of berry bushes and set the basket down to pick a few and pop them into my mouth, my eyes closing with sensual delight as the sweetness burst over my tongue. Thoughtfully I looked over the low bushes and realized they really weren't that big, I pulled the digging stick out of the basket and thrust it into the rich loamy earth around the roots of the smallest bushes and began to wiggle it around as I worked through the dirt carefully so as not to destroy as much of the root system as possible. I reached in for the thickest part of the small trunk and slowly, with the help of my digging stick, began to wiggle the bush free from the soft earth. Once free from the confining grip of the ground, I realized it was more bramble than bush and began to work a few more free, I'd plant them along the edges of the fencing of the villa for both decoration and for berries. In short time I had a small stack that I struggled to push down into the basket with my water plants, and ended up just gingerly carrying the entire lot back through the forest towards Minus.

says to ALL: I walk up here from the forge, waving away all of the builders that are here. I tell them to go home and take the night off, that I was going to be speaking the the builders about doing something different with the villa. They all retrieve all their equipment and pack it up, leaving the grounds and heading towards Minus. Once everyone is gone I begin to supervise several of my men, removing the few things that I did want to keep from the villa and having them transferred to the guest villa on the other side of the grounds. Omega had bought his own villa as he was making plenty of coin working at the forge and running it. So the guest villa was empty right now. I see couches, furs, desk, books, and those sorts of things being packed up and moved from the main villa to the guest villa.

says to ALL: It takes a bit of time for everything that I felt was of value to be removed from the villa. They would just bring everything to the much smaller great room in the guest villa for now. I walk inside, moving around the two story structure, checking drawers and other areas to be sure that my men did not miss anything. I look over at the bed that I purchased at the fair, along with all the other furniture I got from there. It would all remain in here as I burn this place to the ground. It was damp today, raining, not much in the way of wind. I did not need to worry about the ashes or cinders flying on to other structures, the stables and other animal pens were far from here, on the other side of the grounds near the guest villa, the only structure on this side of the property was this villa and the pool, but I was not worried if that burnt anyway, as I would never use it again.

says to ALL: The main walls of the villa itself were made of stone, they would have to be removed by the builders when I was done, but the interior was all wood, and would burn quite well. When I was done all that would be left of this structure was the fireplace, chimney and outer walls. I walk through the bathroom one more time, noting the care with which it was constructed. I then look through the great room, all of my books were gone and over in the guest villa, which was what I was most worried about anyway, all the rest of the items could be replaced. I walk to the corner of the great room where all of the torches and other oil lamps were and select two stone jugs of sea sleen fat oil. I throw both of them at the fireplace, they hit and burst, spraying the oil all over the fireplace and the floor in front of it. I then take another two stone jugs, throwing them into the bathroom, and one on the stairs, the room smelled strong of the oil now. I then grab two more, breaking them against the opposite wall of the villa. I'd had all the men get in place for fire control if need be, but I highly doubted it would be needed with the weather today and where the villa was situated.

As I get outside and a safe distance from the building I turn around and look back at it, already seeing the flames dancing in the windows.

I could feel the rain picking up a bit, dripping down through my long black hair and against my back. I had men stationed all around the building, I wanted to be sure the fire did not spread beyond the villa, and that when everything was done it would be relatively simple for the builders to clean out the debris and start over with what I was looking for in a villa, it was not like I needed to pretend to be poor any more, I would build whatever I wanted from the ground up. I would have to review some plans with the builders, I could feel the heat now, coming from the fully engulfed structure.

Over the next several hours this whole villa would smolder and go out but for right now it was burning as bright as could be, perhaps the men on the wall of the town of Minus could even see it from a pasang away. I was soaked through by the time I decide to leave my hired hands to take care of whatever was left and keep watch until the fire went out. I head to the guest villa and step inside, looking it over, it was comfortable with a small great room and a fireplace, my desk, bookshelves, books and a couch were all that were in the great room. A pile of furs in the first bedroom and nothing in the second. I would start over again from scratch.

says to | . .The Blacksmith. . |: -hearing the knock I looked at you then back to the door with a grin-....ut oh, someone's come looking for you....-hearing you say it was Omega I pulled the furs up until I couldn't be seen and snickered a bit as I knew it would be a surprise, possilby a shock to him to see me here. I laid under the fur and listened as you opened the door and greeted him. I heard concern in his tone and I pushed the fur down so my head could be seen then worried that I looked a right mess and slid fingers thru my tangled locks and sat up, holding the fur against my chest. I'd wait until you two finished exchanges to see if you wanted me saying anything or to move. This was one of those learning moments we'd spoken about.-

says to |The Blacksmith's Fire| : I look over to Omega and have to laugh, "you thought I had the darkosis didn't you!" I say to him and he has to laugh as well. He is wearing his normal garb,that of a pirate with breeches and a loose fitting cotton shirt. He is wearing a scimitar at his waist one that has been modified to be shorter and heavier for boarding actions on ships. "I just have been a bit distracted." I tell him as I look over at you, "I have a new slave, you may know her as the Scribe Gabriella, she is ariana now." I say to him as he finally steps inside, sure there was no sickness in the house. I snap my fingers at you and point to my feet, off to my right side just a bit where I would always have you kneel, so that my left dominant hand would be free to grasp a weapon if I needed it. "ariana, meet Omega." I say to you, knowing the two of you had seen each other around before but had not been introduced since you became a slave. "I have something for you my friend." I say to Omega, "my new slave came with a very nice property in town, and I want you to be the caretaker of it. It is not huge but it should suit you well and you can make it your own." I say to him as I toss him the keys and he grins. You could see the excitement in his face, he'd never had something like that to call his own, is very own home to live in.

The only thing I wore was the collar you'd made and a smile. My long mane slid against my back as I came to your right side, glancing up at you I then floated down to my knees, first I settled into a tower kneel then my thighs spread open and shoulders pulled back. My head remained high as I looked to Omega and smiled a bit more-...greetings Master, its a pleasure to meet you....-my tone was the same as it was when I'd been free. I could see the shock on his face and simply let my smile linger. I was happy to see his face when you told him of the house and his taking care of it. It had been secured for winter, the fountain off, beds weeded and covered in straw. I wasn't sure if he'd like those things but it was his to tend now as another piece of my past was gone-

says to |The Blacksmith's Fire| : Omega of course knew the property that I'd been talking about, he had picked up contracts there from you a few times. Though I would be having you continue with your work as a scribe for anyone that was comfortable with a slave doing their books, and I would also have you keeping track of all of my businesses and business ventures. "Omega, we will need a few things from the residence, there is a bow made for a woman, arrows, leather clothing and boots." I say considering this as I write each of them down. He was distracted by you, his eyes moving over your luscious curves so I knew I would need to write it down or he would forget. You could see a bit of surprise in his face, but then he seemed to accept the situation and move forward. He also was in shock about the home of course, as I'd never given him anything like that. "There is also a sea sleen cloak, a very nice pelt, and I want you to bring up the items from the office there that will be required for her to continue her work as a scribe when my needs require it." I say to him as I look over to you admiring what I own. "anything else that we talked about that I have not added to the list mine?" I ask you as you kneel there, your legs slid wide open displaying what I own.

I could feel his eyes on me and knelt a bit taller, thrusting my breasts out, I knew the bite marks could be seen. As you asked me my head shifted, looking up at you-....I think that is all my Master, most of the supplies I use are there in the satchel....Oh the wines, if you want them here or leave them for Master Omega. Trinity and Trouble as well, they are at the Inn, not sure either of you will have use for them, they are a lady's slave. They cook and clean rather well....-I knew their situations could change from a lady's slave to serve a man and it was up to you both to decide what you wanted done with them, they were good girls after all. I didn't mention the 3 safes as you already knew about them then adding quickly-.....the books, in the study please my Master, I've collected them for a long while and you could add to your collection if you wish too....-I was a scribe, we valued books and such, odd bunch that we were. I was then quite since I couldn't recall anything else at the moment-

says to |The Blacksmith's Fire| : "ah yes, the books, I cannot wait to look through the books." I say to you as I write that down upon the piece of rence paper. "As far as the two slaves go, I can either negotiate with the owner of the Inn to have him keep them in service there and pay rent, or they can take care of the household for Omega. Are there any other employees that need to be taken care of?" I ask you, knowing that you often traveled with guards and such, they would make good employees for the metal works and to handle things up here at the villa so I would keep them on retainer. I then look back to Omega, "of course as you can imagine there are a few safes in the building, just leave them alone for the time being, I will be comig at some point to remove a few gems from one of them but that should be about it so have extra copies of the keys made and deliver them with the rest of the goods. I would like to have them brought to the villa as well. Do you have all that?" I ask him as he cannot stop staring at your breasts watching you thrust them out as you kneel even higher, showing off the incredible form that I own. "I may be a few more days before I return to the metal works" I tell him, he looks at me and says, "oh boss, there was a Leather Worker that stopped in yesterday, she delivered the scabbards for the project that we aborted when the free man was collared, I am sure we can use them some other way. She is going to make two axe sheaths and a weapons harness for you as well though. I gave her two silver for the work and the contract that you wrote up for a business partnership with her." He says, stroking his long forked beard as he actually tries to concentrate on something other than your body. "Alright good, Omega I want all of these things here by the end of the evening, use some of the other metal works employees to take care of the heavy lifting. Once that is done you can get settled in the residence and let me know if you need anything else. I say to him as I hand him the rence paper and walk over to you, running fingertips through your long black hair.

They are here and were going to wait until they recieved word from either you or I.

It was something we'd danced around for some time and you knew my feelings for you since that first meeting. You had even made my collar the night before. Timing, everything came down to timing I mused. I was then quiet while you spoke of the safes and such and it being a few more days before you returned to work. I thought of pulling my hair over my shoulders so the man would focus more on you but I was amused by it. I'd had men stare at me fully clothed and you seemed to enjoy the view since I'd stripped out of them so I knelt there like a statue while you conducted your business with your most trusted man. I knew in time he'd get used to seeing me like this and I'd be just another naked slave to him. My head shifted as your fingers were felt, a sultry moan passed over my lips and eyes fluttered shut, it was a simple touch but it made me quiver-

says to |The Blacksmith's Fire| : I could feel you quiver just a bit as I ran my thick fingers through your silken tresses. "yes, alright, I will bring them both on as employees of the Metal Works, and Omega can find out what kinds of talents they have and what we can use them for." I say to you before turning to Omega again, "thank you for checking in on me my friend, and I am sure that you will take care of everything until I return. I want to do some hunting, and perhaps a few day long trip before I return to the forge again. I say as I use my free hand to clap him on the shoulder. "Congrats on the new house by the way you have earned it." I tell him and he responds with, "thank you boss! I will take care of everything else, I promise!" He says as he collects the things that he needs and gives you one more appraising look before stating, "serve well slave girl." He then heads out the door and on to the grounds, shutting the door behind him. You can almost see a bounce in his step he is so excited, and considering he was a pirate and grew up on the docks in Port Kar he usually did not have much of a bounce to his step. I turn away from the door and back to you. "now for you, we are going to need to find some suitable clothing." I say considering that, "perhaps a trip to the market is in order." I say as my hand trails down through your hair and makes a fist, I pull you to your feet and lead you back over to the couch where I push you back down again on your knees on the furs. "I am thinking perhaps some slave silks and a kirtle or two for the winter." I say musing on that fact as I pull on my wool tunic and sit down to put on my boots. I reach into a pile of clean ones near the couch and select one. It would not work in the long term but would keep you from freezing your nipples off for the time being. I was not sure if I was quite ready to command you to cover up that amazing body yet so I set it to my side as I finish lacing up my boots.

Both were very skilled in aspects of guarding and other things. I'd used them for a few unsavory endevors in my time with them. They were loyal and discreet as well which was a bonus with men like them. I rose with ease as you pulled me to my bare feet. Nearing the couch I quickly found my knees again, the softness of the furs welcome as my legs curled against them. Listening to you speak of clothing I smiled while watching you dress, the broad shoulders framed by your tunic. I took the one you gave me and slid it over my head and pulled it down, letting it rest at my hips for an ihn or two while finger combing my hair. I then rose up onto my knees so the tunic would drop and laughed as it hit mid thigh. Looking at you with a grin-...well its certainly long enough for me my Master....-I looked even smaller than I was in your large tunic and laughed as I settled back to my knees. I had my boots under the pile of free woman clothing there and inquired-...shall I get the boots my Master?....-they were a simple leather boot, nothing special but they covered and protected my feet and were good for traveling. The cloak I'd worn home from Ar and arrived in still hung at the door. The deep blue with a hood had been made for me long ago and was still in good condition-

says to |The Blacksmith's Fire| : "yes, boots would be good, it is a bit of a walk between here and town and I would not want you to damage your feet." I say to you with a wink as I stand up and find my weapons harness, pulling that on as well and tightening the straps. I wait for you to get your boots on and then I say, "heel mine, I should show you around the rest of the villa before we head outside." I did not wait for you to come with me as I knew you would follow upon command. "I call back to you as I head up the stairs, "when you travel with me always keep behind me and to my right when we walk, and always serve from my right side. I am a bit paranoid about always needing to keep my weapon hand free, even when I am in places that I should not have to worry about, I guess it is just habit." I say to you as we walk up the stairs and into the upstairs, at the top of the stairs there was a short hallway and then two rooms. The first room is the bedroom that I'd not used, it did not have anything in it beyond a pile of furs in the middle of the room and a fireplace along one wall. "And this is where I keep my books and desk." I say opening the door to the other room and leading you inside. Most were not aware that I had such a collection of books, the room was dominated by a large ornate temwood desk in the middle of the room and then book shelves all the way around the outside of the room. The shelves were full of books, as you walked along them you would see there were sections devoted to hunting a animal training techniques, blacksmithing, being a slaver. But you then would see sections on history, physiology and metallurgy. There were hundreds of books but there was one whole wall that was free that would accommodate the books that Omega would be bringing, I was excited and interested to see what you read and look through some of the books that you had. Alongside the desk was a container of scrolls and other reams of nice rence paper that was used for contracts and the like. "this is my sanctuary, that very few have ever seen." I say to you as I turn to you and grin, "our sanctuary now."

I set the skirt, blouse, vest and undergarment in a nice pile then took the socks and boots from it. I sat on my ass to pull the woolen socks on then the leather boots, lacing them I heard you mention the grand tour and moved a bit faster. Seeing you move up the stairs I was quick to follow you. The tunic hitting my knees now and feeling like a scandulous short dress. I tugged it up over my knees to make the trip up behind you. I listened and would nod about being at your right, serving form the right and mainly staying on your right side-...yes my Master, to the right, always....-I peered into the first room you showed off, seeing the pile of furs and grinning some as this must be the sleeping quarters. It was rather cozy and spacious given the size of the guest house. I then moved with you on hearing of books and followed you inside the room. Eyes lit up seeing the wonderful desk and the books that lined the walls. I read the titles to the ones I looked at, seeing a wide variety and was quite impressed and surprised that you owned so many. I'd gasp, oohh and ahhh over it all as books were my passion and seeing so many here was a treat. I stopped at the paper and couldn't help but touch it to feel its weight and then, yes I was odd, I bent forward to sniff at it and smiled. It was good quality paper. Turning as you spoke of this being your sanctuary I nodded, I was happy to be allowed in here and then you said our sanctuary I couldn't help but smile and move to you, pressing against your chest and peering up at you-....so handsome, hard working and...you love books my Master, I am one lucky slave....-a teasing grin curled my lips but I was serious.

"you are always welcome in this room mine, and you may select books to read when your other duties are taken care of." I say to you as I ruffle your hair, knowing that you liked books just as much as I did, and I thought it would be interesting to have conversations about some of the philosophy books that I had over a fire in the evening, well if I did not continue to get distracted by how sexy you are all the time. I thought perhaps we could squeeze conversations about books in between other things, heh. "in addition, as I have mentioned I want you to continue to handle all the books for all of my businesses and I will be in contact with some of your former clients to see if they would like to keep the same arrangement with you. I know you will have other things to attend to now but you are truly skilled at the work of a scribe and I want to keep encouraging that in you." I say to you, my mind briefly wanders to what you would look like bent over this desk begging for use. I knew that there were a few other things I wanted to show you today though and well we would have plenty of time for that later. I lead you out of the study and down the stairs again. "grab your cloak mine, it is a bit cool and damp today." I say to you as I wait for you to collect it by the door. I'd lived in the far north for so long that it felt downright balmy outside to me in the tunic and leather pants but I did not want you to freeze. I look you up and down one time before you slide on the cloak, watching how my tunic slides up your perfect toned thighs with each step that you take. "We will be staying in this villa until the builders finish with the new one." I point, "and that is the stairs to the basement and the connection to the set of tunnels under the compound, don't go down there without me as I am not sure how safe it is yet, but we will have to explore it together soon." I say to you as we walk out into the main grounds. I do not have to look back to know that you are keeping up with me, we walk to the area where all the animals are housed. I walk up to one cage and slide my hand inside, Iccarus comes up to nuzzle it. "these are my forest panthers, Iccarus and Marika, they are very tame and there is no reason to fear them in any way." I say to you as Marika comes to the bars of the cage, sniffing at you and smelling my scent on you. She seems to accept you right away and pushes towards the bars further in hopes of getting her ears scratched.

says to | . .The Blacksmith. . |: -eyes lit up as you were going to allow me in here to read the books and work. I did glance at the desk and lips curled into a sinful grin. Delicate hand slid across the firm wood and I murmured softly-....we shall have to....break the room in my Master....the desk seems rather strong....-I looked at you over my shoulder, a coy look given then a down right sinful look as I caught the look in your's and knew you were thinking the same thing. I was happy that you were allowing me to work, I knew some of my clients wouldn't care who did their books as long as they were done but others I knew would seek out a free scribe to tend their business. I couldn't blame or fault for that. Hearing you I moved down the stairs with you and grabbed my cloak, sliding over my shoulders and tugging my hair out to let it drop against the wide hood. Listening to you speak about the new villa being built and staying here during I looked back to the guest house. It was cozy, big enough for two so I was hoping the villa took a while despite being eager to see the finished project. A brief glance was given to the stairs and basement I smiled-...yes I don't want to get lost down there my Master or injured...-I followed along the grounds, it was different in the day light I mused as the cloak swung wildly against my form. My steps were very different now as I didn't have long robes or skirts on. Seeing the building your panthers were in I made sure I kept up since I was most eager to see them. I remained at your side while you pet them. I held my hand out for each to sniff to get the smell of me. As the female came closer and dipped her head I reached out to scritch her ears and rub the top of her head. I couldn't believe I was petting a wild beast like this. My small hand disappeared into her fur and I looked at you-...She is beautiful my Master....-I looked to the male and reached to pet him with my free hand only to be blocked by Marika who seemed to want all the attention at this point. I laughed and whispered-....greedy girl

says to |The Blacksmith's Fire| : I grin at your comment about the desk being strong, yes we would indeed need to test that out soon enough. I can see your eyes go wide as Marika comes to allow you to pet and scratch her ears. They had once been wild beasts, and I suppose could still be so but I'd kept them as more like pets than anything else for the last 10 years. "I found them both when their mother was killed, they were only a couple of weeks old and had to be bottle fed to keep them alive, I think they consider me their mom and pack leader at the same time." I say with a bit of a laugh at the thought of that. "I do not let them out of the cage here in Minus as I would not want them to be mistaken for a wild animal. That said you are welcome to come here and spend time with them whenever you want, the entrance to the cage is right there." I say pointing as Marika blocks you from scratching Iccarus's ears and I laugh. "I think she likes you." I say to you, Marika was slender and much smaller than her brother. They were both jet black though with bright yellow eyes. Iccarus was a huge forest panther, thick bunching muscles as he moved. He was an outstanding hunter and they had both been my companions in the northern forest when I lived there. I'd considered leaving them in the forest when I came to Minus, but when I tried to get them to go off on their own they followed me and well, I felt bad and brought them with me. I then lead you on from the cage with the panthers, I thought from the look in your eye that you would be back here often to spend time with them. "and here we have my sleen, Ren and Stimpy" I say to you as you look in the cage at them, they were both huge black beasts, both near 12 feet long with six muscular legs. Their maws were gaping with teeth everywhere and a bit of drool dripping down here and there. Ren was smaller and thinner but was incredibly intelligent, Stimpy was probably one of the largest sleen you had ever seen. He was simply immense and so thickly muscled. "we will take them with us when we go hunting. Again with them you have nothing to fear they are both very docile unless given the command to attack, but for some reason I doubt you will want to go in the pen and play with them." I say with a wink, my eyes moving over your face for a moment, enjoying the look of joy that was there. I was just smiling, so happy today, so relaxed and enjoying spending time with you.

I kept petting Marika and finally got to touch Iccasrus, though it was brief. I laughed-...she thinks I am her's my Master...-they both followed to the end of their cage and I peered at them, nose wrinkling and nodding. I didn't touch them at all but I noted their nostrils flaring to take in the new scent. I had seen sleen attack and kill. I'd seen them breed and it was rather vicious when it happened. Looking as you mentioned my not wanting to be in their pen and laughing-....No, never will I want to be closer to them than I am now, they may mistake me for a treat...-my eyes lifted to meet your's, lips curled into a smile and it seemed like any other visit we had with each other in the past, that same relaxed feeling between us but today, yes today was different. I wore much less and your collar graced my throat, yes today was a better day than the ones in our past. I moved to you and slid against your right side, peering up at you-...thank you for bringing me to visit them, the panthers are just gorgeous I love them....-I had wanted giani when in Ar but now, here were the much larger versions and I could pet them and visit them instead-

I then see the look you give the sleen and have to laugh just a bit. "They would not make a snack out of you, I have been training them since they were only a few weeks old as well. They were very good at taking commands and would guard our camp at night when we went out hunting around Minus. I look back over my shoulder and see Omega arrive with the first satchels of things that I'd asked him to bring to the villa, I wave at him and go back to showing you around the grounds. "and over here is the tarn cots." I say leading you there, there were two tarns in the tarn cots, one was much smaller and looked quite tame, "this one is Drago, I allow my men to use him when they need to travel. "and this one is Bastian." I say pointing at the much larger one, "and he is Bastian, much more dangerous, never go anywhere near him unless I am around." I say and then I step into the cots and walk over to Bastian, he pushes his head down and seemingly wants me to rub him above his beak. You would note that he was wearing a saddle, "have you ever ridden in the tarn saddle? This one is set up so that we can both strap in, you can ride in front of me. It is quite a rush to fly through the air at the speed that he can move." I say to you and note that you are keeping your distance from the bird. I pat him on the head and he makes a loud screech before I step back and climb out of the tarn cots to stand next to you. "beyond that there are a bunch of outbuildings and barns that I have not really had a chance to look through much on the grounds, it might be interesting to see what we find in them and if the smugglers left anything behind." I say to you as my arm slips around your waist and pulls you against me as we look over the entire compound, surrounded by the stone wall.

Shaking my head with a grin as you asked about the saddle-....no my Master, its always been a dream to ride and feel the open air instead of being shoved in a basket but, well as a Free, that never happened...-I listened as you explained about the saddle and both of us being able to ride, well now my eyes lit up and smile formed quickly, suddenly a bit more interested in the foul beasts. As you came over to me once again and gave me the general layout and I could see it all in the daylight. My appraisal trip had been business so it was the attention to other things that occupied my time, now I could actually see it and enjoy it all.
