Over the next two years Derelict learned and mastered entering the illusions. He had also been planning his escape from his masters. The illusions allowed Derelict to gather extreme amounts of info and knowledge.
He learned sword craft , stealth movement techniques and geography of the land around the masters plantation and the land over the great sea. He wanted to help others that were trapped by the masters.
Unfortunately most had been broken by the masters and had lost the will to fight. Only 2 others were willing to join derelict. The masters called them Defective and Bruised.
Tehame was called bruised because he had backtalk problems and was often beat. Zackary was called defective because he was weaker and Skinner than most of the other slaves, but they were old enough to remember there real names unlike derelict.
Tehame and Zackary were from the same village. There were also friends as kids but both of their parents were shot, as they were being dragged out of the houses they lived in. They both were thrown into the same cage after being dragged out of their houses, this made them inseparable.
Tehame was short and stout with bronze skin he could easily look like a statue if he didn't move. His muscle was so well defined you could see evy vein in his whole body. This was from all the work masters forced him to do over his many years here.
Zackary on the other hand was like a bean pole. he did have muscle and almost no fat on his body, but was just built differently. He was also significantly weaker than tehame. The both had the similar skin color but Zackarys color seemed lighter.
While Derelict was average in all aspects medium high medium build and tan like he had been outside for a few months. He would have been considered a pretty boy if he was not a slave.
Derelict tried to explain what the illusions were and help them enter it, but they though he was crazy. "Are you sure you didn't just dream it?" asked Zackary he had a fearful look permanently on his face now adays because the were planning an escape, but this was a more fearful look than usual.
"I hope he has not lost his sanity it would be a great burden on us if he went crazy" Zackary felt bad about these thoughts but knew he was only looking out for his team by having them.
"Relax Zack if he said he saw it then he did it will do no good to doubt our friends." Tehame had a much more relaxed disposition. Only because he knew whatever happened it was better than being the masters thrall.
"Fine we can deal with trying to get you two into the illusions when we find more time do it. " Derelict had gotten fed up trying to convince them of the truth of the matter. "Lets just work on the escape plan." Derelict said with a look of determination in his eyes.
