I am Bishop Girard of the Church of Mimir, god of wisdom and knowledge. He who tends to the …

Lenia left along with the proprietress and the other female slaves who weren’t chosen. Only Aleks, Grobak, and the slave Alek’s chose remained.

Aleks waved Lenia off and told Grobak to stand to the side for now and remain quiet.

The markets where slaves were viewed and sold were all outside the western city gates. There, the sprawl spread for miles into the distant horizon. There were no roads and it was difficult to navigate the sprawl. Colorful tents and signs littered the area creating pathways which twisted and turned with no end in sight. There was also the occasional …

Chapter 53: New companions (1)

The city of Kordusk was much more lively than usual with throngs of people walking its streets. Entering the city plaza was almost like walking into a convention from Aleks’s old world.
