More five steps.
My hands were shredded and the dance room was not so far away. Quite the opposite, Igietis Cezare and me were inside the big lounge.
There was a red circle in the middle of the room a handsome man with grey eyes was sitting on a fancy fold throne. His black hair was short and it was twisted in some waves.
He was looking at me, my long cape was hiding my the curves of my body but it didn't do the same with my face.
My golden face and my long black hair were visible.
- Master Iudex Cael of Mor! - Proclaimed Igietis Cezare next to me - Here is your new pallaki! Begin the ceremony!
The surrounding people. All them Dioketes and Igietis from the other colonies, were in silence waiting for the ritual.
The musicians, obeying the Igietis Cezare and began to play an intense melody.
From that moment the ritual was initiated and unfortunately I knew what to do.
I began to move towards the men sitting in the throne.
My heart was filling up with every hatred. I wish I could get put of there, the beauty of that Iudex wasn't enough to make me agree with that.
I wanted came back to my home. I was afraid but I didn't want to die so to surve I needed keep walking.
I let the song guide me toward that Iudex and accept that man as my master to use my body whatever way he could want.
I got to the circle. Iudex's eyes were on me, like a hunter stalking his prey. I tried ignore my afraid and I got on my knees and I hunched my body exactly as the ritual requested and I kissed his feet and his hands as a mark of my respect and loyalty to my master.
- Now the greatest master will give to your pallaki the necklace as a sign of pallaki acceptance!
The Iudex reached out and hung around my neck a winding diamond trail. After this gesture he helped me to stand on my feet and gently he leads me to the holy fire.
