Smack!
A large hand smacked Silver from behind his head.
"Stop! Didn't I say you couldn't couldn't eat the man! Why are you…"
Seth finally noticed the perverted scene before him.
"You hit me!"
Seth knew he was wrong, but the scenario before him wasn't right either. He wasn't going to give in.
"Because I thought you were eating him!"
"Does it look like I'm eating him? Where? How? Tell me, master?!"
Seth saw the long finger poking the insides of the unconscious man smeared in a blue and green solution.
"Ok! Fine! You're not eating, but stop whatever you're doing!"
"Helping save his life? I did what you said master! I healed his broken bones and used the potion like you asked, master!"
"But why is your finger in there?!"
"Master. Are you jealous? Should I do you next?"
"No! Why would you need to use the potion inside there?!"
"Well the insides needed some healing too master. He was knocked out and couldn't drink the potion. I couldn't let him choke and die because you wanted to save him so I used another method. Have you never heard of a suppository? They're placed inside this way, you know? Is this how you treat your obideint slave?"
The flood dragon lied straight through his teeth. His straight face and mix of truth and lies made him believable. Seth didn't know any better and felt ashamed for berating his slave, who he had asked to help.
"…I'm sorry. I didn't know there was such a method…"
A devious grin was hidden behind Silver's innocent smile as he took out his finger.
Seth was appalled where it had been and evoked a class 1 spell.
"Cleanse!"
Silver didn't care and acted as if his master didn't use a spell to clean his finger.
"It's fine, master. I forgive you if you say yes to some fun with me in bed." A light bulb turned on in his head as he recalled his master's back.
"I can heal the scars on your back as well." Playing dumb, Silver tried ask subtle questions to satisfy he curiosity. "They look like terrible wounds. How did you get them, master?"
The question made the images play in Seth's head, making him forget his slaves comment about fun in bed. This time he had more control of himself, and he did not tremble at the thought of torture.
Looking down with a pale face, Seth dodged the question. "It was done by a monster. A terrible monster in human skin. That's all I will tell you."
Seth's response made Silver uncertain now.
"Was it another noble species capable of transformation like us flood dragons?" Silver pondered to himself.
"Anyway, thank you for healing the man. Forget about me." Seth looked at a small clock hanging from his wall. "It's too late to make it to town and come back to this same point in the forest."
Seth sighed. He felt the cool air on his back. "I'll have to get some more sets of clothing."
A muttering of unrecognizable sounds came out from the unconscious man.
He squinted his eyes at the light coming in from the window as he laid on the cool wood flooring.
Eli was dazed and unfamiliar with the room. There were so many items and trinkets on the walls and furniture, the scene kind of overwhelmed him.
"Where am I?" He voiced out in a raspy voice.
"Oh hey! See master!? See how great this dragon Silver is?! I can even bring back the half-dead to life!"
Eli was startled by Silver's loud shouts. He noticed he was naked and in some sort of blue and green goo all over his body and face.
Seth was glad the man was still alive, though he didn't seem like he could be "kicking" much.
"What's your name? How'd you end in the river?" Seth question.
"Where is this? How is there a place out here in the Forest of Sardon!"
"My master asked for your name, you ungrateful human bastard! This is why humans are not worth anything except for being eaten! They don't even care for their saviors and only care about themselves!"
Eli was snapped out of his clamoring, "…I'm sorry…I was just so confused... I'm Eli. Thank you for saving me." Eli tried to recall his memories. "… I was in the river, running away."
Seth was not as concerned as his irritated slave at the disoriented man.
"It's fine Silver. He seems to have been through a lot."
"Him?! What about me?! I have been through a lot! I'm now a slave!"
"And whose fault is that?!" Seth quipped back thinking about how his complaining flood dragon almost ate him and the man. Silver's mouth turned into a pout.
Eli flinched with worry. He thought Seth was a noble or powerful person, seeing how he owned a slave. "I'm sorry noble sir! I was not aware of your distinguished presence!"
Silver bursted out laughing. "Hahahaha!!! Master? A noble? You should call me a noble. I am a prince of the flood dragons!"
Seth glanced at his slave with a questioning look, wondering about his slave's statement to himself. "Was Silver telling the truth? Was he truly a prince?"
Eli was even more shocked. Bowing his head to the floor, he stammered a fearful response. "A prince of the flood dragons?! Please noble sirs, forgive me!"
Seth intended to correct Eli's mistake.
"No, no. I'm not a noble. I'm just a regular person such as yourself." Seth continued to ask Eli again of his previous questions.
"You do not have to worry, Eli. Look up and speak comfortably. I found you at the Riola River's edge deep into the Forest of Sardon. How did you get here? Are you a citizen from Helwerk?"
Eli lifted his head. Confused, he cautiously answered Seth's questions.
"Yes, that is right. I am a farmer. Along with my parents, we farm the lands on the outskirts of Helwerk. We were under attack from a large pack of Mokai. I lured them away in hopes to save my father's life. By luck, I made it to the river, but the monsters were relentless. They wouldn't follow me into the water but threw stones at me from the river bank. My last memory was being hit by a large stone rock and sinking into the water. From there, I don't remember."
Seth and Solver listened to the man's story. They both knew of the Mokai.
"Troublesome little bastards, they are." Silver snorted. "A few is nothing before us flood dragons, but they're daring and in great numbers they can be a threat. To be chased by a pack and make it out alive. You're either skillful or lucky. But looking at you, I'd say you're lucky."
Seth didn't say anything, but he agreed. He tried to avoid the Mokai as well. Cunning beasts that hunted in packs were annoying to deal with.
"I need to see my parents! I need to know if they're ok! I beseech you! I must find them!."
Silver's lips turned into a smirk. "What ever shall we tell the man, master?" Silver wanted to test what his master would do with the new possible threat to his treasure and peaceful lifestyle.
"…tell me what?" Eli was confused at Silver's suggestive statement.
"I think you should also turn him into a slave. That or kill him. You know you're risking everything if you let him go freely. Humans can never be trusted."
Seth went silent, seriously thinking to himself. "You know I'm human too, right Silver." Seth knew what he brought upon himself by saving Eli, but now he needed to figure out what to do. There were consequences if word got out about his treasure.
Baron Wendell was already trying to capture him, chasing him away from his first place he hid himself.
The leak of information would cost him not only his treasure, but also his life. He needed guarantees.
The best guarantee was death, as dead men couldn't talk. But Seth saved him, how could he kill him now?
Seth's handsome and gentle face turned stern, giving Eli sparking worry and fear.
"I won't tell a soul! I can't be a slave! Please! I have to help my aging parents! They can't do all that field work by themselves."
Eli was telling the truth. He did the bulk of the heavy labor, saving his parents from overworking themselves. However, he was more afraid of the fate of a slave. Most slaves were not well treated.
"Then can I eat him master? He's not too meaty, but I've found a liking for his rough and tough flesh."
"No! Please! I beg you! I promise! I Promise that I will never tell anyone, even my parents! Believe me! Please!"
Seth was silent. He could not risk it. He needed more than the words of an unknown man.
"I need a vow upon your mana."
"No! I won't be a slave! Never!" Eli assumed he was going to be turned into a slave. He jumped up and tackled Silver into the bed while shoving Seth as he ran out of the cottage.
He was greeted by a beautiful and vibrant world, but it was unfamiliar and a bit different from the Forest of Sardon.
Eli rushed out still naked and covered in the potion.
Running with his member swatting against his naked body, Eli ran in between the rows of Seth's crops. In his desperate attempt to escape, he crushed Seth's valuable and rare herbs as he rushed to get to the stream going into the forest.
As he sprinted into the lush meadows with grass and wildflowers, a roar of a flood dragon burst out. The force of Silver's roar pushed against the trees, shaking them slightly.
Eli looked back and was paralyzed in fear.
The skinnier handsome man madly dashing at him as he began transforming into a monstrous snake-like creature.
Scales grew out of Silver's smooth skin. His face warped. His stout nose and chin turned unsightly as they elongated into a vicious looking snout. Silver's body contorted and grew many times over by the time he crossed the edge of the farm.
The giant slithering flood dragon, rampaging through the fields of the meadows made Eli recall running away again. He sprinted like his life was on the line. Seth chased afterwards, yelling at his slave. The transformed slave reminded Seth what his naughty slave truly was.
"Don't you dare eat him, Silver!"
Sliver was much faster than the two humans. His large and powerful body pushed as each swerve launched his forward. Seth was still far behind, and Silver had already made it to Eli.
Silver used his tail and tripped Eli. He stumbled into the thick muscles hidden by the scales of Silver's long body. Eli had felt as if he slammed into a boulder. Silver's body was strong and powerful.
Seeing Eli dazed, Silver quickly wrapped and constricted Eli with his snake-like body, hissing at Eli.
"I will eat you now! Human Eli! You dared to attack the great me, who saved your life, and run away! No mercy will be given! I will rip out your limbs one by one, and crunch your bones!"
Silver eyes were full of a scheme. He pretended and scared Eli by opening and showing the rows of razor teeth inside his jaws.
"NO! Spare me! Please! I'll do anything! I must see my parents! They need me! Please don't eat me!"
Acting as if he was going to chomp down, Silver eyes flashed with a mischievous look.
"Swear upon your mana! Vow with the Divines as witness. You will be a fellow slave, never to harm or disobey our master! Vow or I will eat you now!"
Eli's body was being further constricted and tightened by Silver's snake-like body. Eli started finding trouble breathing. In a panic, he made up his mind.
"Then you must vow to allow me to see my parents. I still must help them!"
"Master is a good master. He will pay for your worth with coin. Your parents will long be better off without you. Now swear!"
Eli was filled with deep reluctance and remorse, but his reassurance with his parents living well gave him solace. His body glowed with a silver light, as he activated his mana.
"I swear a vow with the Divines as witness, I, Eli Strauss, hereby vow upon my mana to be a slave, who will never harm or disobey my master..."
"Seth." Silver stated to Eli's questioning face.
"…master Seth."
For a second time, the skies darkened and a harmony of otherworldly voices sounded affirming the contact and warning Eli of the consequences.
Seth was stunned at the voices of the Divine. He ran to his slave that had transformed back to his human form.
"Aaaaahhh. That feels better! Now I'm not the only slave."
Silver's naked human body was wrapped around behind Eli's also naked body. Silver's arms wrapped around exploring Eli's flat stomach and chest. Eli noticed the flood dragon's flaccid member curiously touching his behind, but ignored it as he prostrated himself before Seth.
"Master! I beg you! Let me see my parents and pay them as your other slave has promised. Let them live well, and I shall do whatever you ask."
Seth stared wildly, flabbergasted by Eli's statement.
Sliver smirked and explained.
"Master, Eli has sworn upon his mana as you have requested. It was hard for me to convince him, but I told him you would properly pay his parents for him as your slave."
Seth felt a headache coming on. He only wanted a vow to guarantee that Eli would never speak of the matter to anyone. He didn't want a slave, let alone two.
Seeing the reluctance on his master's face, Silver dropped reality on his master.
"Master. You heard the voices of the Divines. There is no going back now, unless you want a curse."
Seth most definitely didn't want another curse. Dealing with one was hard enough.
"Master! Please take me to see my parents! I must know they're safe! Pay them, and I will honor my vow fully."
Silver eyed the nice view of Eli's back and plump derrière from above and further nudged Seth.
"We should leave now, master. I've always wanted to experience this "town" I hear much about. I want to know about the craze too!"
Seth looked at his new prostrating slave and his ginning happy flood dragon. Seth gave in and sighed.
"Let's get you two dressed first. We can't go to town in the nude. I'll need to take some money. I need to buy more pairs of clothing for everyone."
"Master! Why waste money? We can live in the nude in your miniature world!"
Seth contemplated his slave's suggestion, but they would need clothes if they left. And his slaves bodies and dangling members were too distracting.
"No, we will all wear clothes. We'll need it if we go out too so clothes are a must."
"Humans and their annoying clothing. I can't tell if I want to have sex with the clothes on. Master, at least let me see you naked once."
Seth was speechless with his flood dragon.
"Is all you ever think about is sex?! Bring Eli and you both can wash up by the stream over there. I'll go grab some clothing."
Looking at where Seth pointed, Silver nodded his head. Pulling up Eli, he gave him a naughty grin. "Let's go fellow new slave! I shall help you get off this potion."
