Malevolent Master

I was reminded yesterday who owns me and what my purpose in life is. To please my Master, Agrippa Pontus. He revealed to me that side of him which I had not seen since the first night he stumbled across me in that tavern in Port Kar. It was there that he bound me to a post and whipped me, making my body dancing for him.

The lure

He was methodical in the way he set about luring me to his barge after that night. He came back to that same tavern and found me outside enjoying my pilfered larma. I didn't belong to the tavern, I didn't belong to anyone. Master Dexter had been killed and I was simply surviving. I believe Agrippa honed in on this fact like a tarn might an injured tabuck.

He had me follow him towards the docks. It was then that he suddenly turned on me, pushed me against a wall, his hands exploring my body as people scurried past us.

"Meet me at the docks tomorrow at noon, and I will give you what you need slut," were his words. Agrippa knew exactly what he was doing.

I did meet him that next day. Had I not, my life would have taken a different path. He lured me onto the barge with that promise of 'giving me what I needed,' and he did. As he had me bent over the railing of his barge he had his men cast off. By the time I realized what was going on, it was to late. I was now his captive.

It was interesting voyage to say the least. I came to know lola, and there was a coolness between us from the start. By the time we reached Port Cos the collar about my throat had been replaced with that of Agrippa Pontus. I was now his property.

I digress

When I entered his room to look for him I was attacked from behind! I thought it was the men that had ambushed lola several nights ago out side the Inn; painting, 'Agrippa is a fake King,' on her belly! It was not, it was my Master. After binding me so that I could not move, he threatened me at knife point.

"I know you have been going to see Valentin. What is he up to? What is he planning? I want you to find a way to loosen his tongue slut."

I was whipped with a willow, and cut in several places by the blade of his knife. This was done to drive home the point of what he can, and will do to me if I don't get what he wants...information.


Now I am caught between my loyalty to my Master, and my feelings for Master Valentin. Both of them are malevolent men. Both of them both titillate and frighten me.
