Chapter 620
I thought perhaps if I played along, they’d Let me see Damien. Whatever they wanted, I should provide. Getting on their good side was probably the quickest way to getting what I wanted. That’s how it always had worked before.
Gunth seemed pleased and told me when it came time for the evening meal I should meet Arik and his Brothers outside the dining hall.
“Now, Gunth,” the one of the women at the head of the hall interjected, “we have not even determined if these females wish to stay or return to their places of origin.”
My terror doubled as I looked into her fanged face.
“I don’t wish to leave my family, Ma’am. I want to see my offspring grow. I wish to be with Damien’s family.”
“My name,” the great woman said, “is Hassar. I am from the T’stelvic Mountains. You do not need to address me as Ma’am. If you wish to stay on this world for your offspring, we will not remove you. We must keep you away from Damien and his Brothers, though.”
“Please,” I begged, “I need them and I care for them-“
Hassar was patient, but firm. Damien and his Brothers had enslaved me. They had trained me with punishment until I believed that only they could be trusted. That part of my life was over now. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I own you now, slave from Batra. You are in my charge and I will protect you from harm. I am the Leader here and the men who took you did so at my command. Tell me the name you have been given,” she said stopping in front of Fuji.
Gunth gasped as did several others in the room. Reed and her Sister were not fazed by the obvious horror on the faces around them.
“I am Fuji, named by my last Masters, what would you have me do?” Fuji asked brightly.
Rose and I just stared at her looking stunned. She sounded pleased and relaxed.
“You will Learn many things while you are here. These Paterians,” Reed said pointing around, “are my agents and will instruct you. However, one of the first things I need to do is to remove your old Master’s insignia from your body,”

“I like the name you were given. You may use it when you are greeted. I wish that you speak with any that speak to you. I wish you to start at Least three conversations a day. You may chose who to start those conversations with.”
