As the girl moved her hand from Thomas's back he fell to the ground screaming out in pain as he suffered from the dreadful burning of the seal. Once he was on the ground he tossed around on the ground as his vision began to get blurry he slowly began to lose consciousness as the seal continued to burn. Moments later he passed out due to the mass amounts of pain that surged his body. The slave merchant looked at the man and his daughter and said "Told you he'd be out shortly." The little girl asked, "Is he still alive?" The slave merchant grinned and said, "He'll live but the only reason he fell unconscious was that he wasn't strong enough to withstand the pain." The man picked Thomas up and headed towards the exit of the tent.
Moments after Thomas fell asleep as he woke up in the field of flowers in a panicked state as the lady said "That's quite the show your putting on over there." Thomas looked at her as she asked "Are you alright?" Thomas laid back down as he said "I'll be fine just a little pain." She began to walk towards him as he asked "Is there any way to maybe live without pain?" She continued to walk towards him as she said "No, but if you don't succumb to the pain there will be enjoyable times." Thomas looked up at her as she now stood above him as he said "You know I still can't see your face theirs still an annoying beam of light that blocks my view of you." She laughed and said, "I know but I can still see your face." Thomas glances back up at her as he asked, "What would happen if I fell asleep in this place?"
She looked at him and told him that he'd just end up sleeping normally as if he didn't end up in this place. He yawned as he said, "Guess it doesn't have any effect on me." The lady looked at him as she said "I suppose not." However, before Thomas could fall asleep he woke back up in a carriage as he was lying down on the girl's lap. As he laid there staring at her face as she stared back he said "Good morning did I miss anything?" The girl began to smile as she said "I thought you were dead." Thomas sat up and looked off the back of the carriage as he turned around while pointing at his chest as he asked "So what's the deal with this seal thing?" The girl looked at him as she said "I don't understand it very well but you have to do whatever I say." Thomas looked at her as he said "And what if I don't?" The girl looked down at her hands as she started playing with her thumbs and said "You'll get zapped and feel a lot of pain."
Thomas looked at her and grinned as he said "A little pain never killed anybody at least not completely." The girl looked at him and asked "Will you be ok you were screaming a lot?" Thomas looked back outside the carriage as he said "I'll be fine." The girl's father yelled from the front of the carriage "Is he awake yet?" The girl yelled back "Yes he's alive." Thomas looked at her and said "alive could I have died from that?" The girl looked at him as she said "The slave merchant said that only the strong deserve to live." Thomas poked his head outside the cart and looked at the sky as he said "That's a strange way to look at things." The girl asked, "Why are you looking around?" Thomas didn't bother answering as he went to the opposite side of the cart as he peaked through the fabric and seen that they were heading towards a city. He looked at the girl and asked "So where are we going?" The girl looked at him as she said "We're going home."
Thomas glances back at her as he said "Very specific." The girl looked at him and asked "Are you still mad at me for causing that burning pain to place the seal on your chest?" Thomas looked at her as he sat down on the opposite side of the cart as he said, "Nah remembering grudges is just extra work besides once I was in that cage it was bound to happen sooner or later." Thomas looked at the girl as he asked "So why'd you purchase me?" The girl looked at him as she said "My father wanted someone to protect me and someone for me to play with." Thomas let out a sigh of relief as he thought to himself thank god these people don't completely hate Demi humans. Thomas has a very different image in his mind of what would happen once he was purchased. He thought that he would be purchased by someone who hates Demi-humans and that he would be tortured for hours and hours every day.
He looked at her as he asked "So I'm a playmate and a bodyguard rolled into one right?" The girl looked at him as she said "Right." Thomas looked at her as he pointed at his chest and asked "Mind giving me a demonstration of this slave seal thingy?" the girl nodded as she said, "Come here and sit next to me." Thomas looked at her as he began to say I don't think it's working he felt a sharp pain form in his chest as he felt the slave seal shock him. The girl said, "If you want it to stop you have to comply with the order, or I have to cancel it." Thomas immediately got up and sat next to her as he said "Thanks for the demonstration but I didn't think it would hurt that badly." The girl nodded and then yelled out to her father "Are we there yet." The girl's father shouted back "Not yet but we will be there shortly." The girl's father shouted again as he asked "Did my daughter explain how the seal works?"
Thomas yelled to the man as he said "Yes but do the commands work for other people?" The man shouted back as he said "No only her blood was infused with the seal." Thomas looked back at the girl and asked "How long do the commands last?" The girl glanced at him as she said "It depends on how it's worded." Thomas now had a general understanding of how the seal worked but he couldn't figure out a way to break free of it. He decided that he'd go along with the slave seal and would see if anything interesting happens. Thomas noticed that the girl looked nervous as he said "If you got something on your mind go ahead and speak it." The girl looked at him as she asked "Where did you get that wound on your stomach?" Thomas looked at her as he said "So you looked at that huh?" Thomas said "The story on how I ended up here and how I got the wound are linked actually."
The girl looked at him and asked if he'd tell her how. Thomas looked away as he said, "I'll tell you the story another time." She glanced at him as she slowly lowered her head and mumbled the word "ok." The carts stopped as Thomas stood up and hopped out as he said "Looks like we're here." The girl poked her head out of the carriage as she said "This isn't the place we're supposed to be." Thomas looked at her as he asked "What do you mean we're not where we're supposed to be?" The girl got out of the cart as she walked around to the side of the cart and pointed to the city as she said "We gotta go there." Thomas lifted his hand up to his eyes as he said "Ya looks like we've still got a bit to go." Thomas suddenly realized he smelled a different smell as his grin faded he said "I think it's best if you get back in the cart." The girl nodded as she started to climb back into the cart.
Thomas walked to the front of the cart where he saw the girl's father. Thomas asked, "Do you know about the people who're going to ambush you up ahead too?" The man said, "Yes I can see footprints leading to the bushes." Thomas began to sniff the air as he said "Two in the trees and three in the bushes." The man looked shocked as he said "How do you know five people are waiting to ambush us." Thomas looked at him as he cheekily said "The nose knows." The man said, "Suppose you are right and there are five men how exactly do we deal with them?" Thomas thought for a moment and grinned as he said "I might have a plan."
