Freedom or servitude

[Keva Bran]

Keva mines coal for her master. The words of shani, lady lightfoot, and the other lady that name slips her mind. But words of freedom. But I am free. She thinks, am I. As she sits there and thinks she realises she is in servitude. The time she spent with juuma was a choice she made. But has to keep it a secret for fear oc punishment.

Not this can not be true, I need to think. She saids aloud.

She drops the pick axe dread gave her and all the coal she has. She hands them to the dwarf.

If someone named bob comes looking for me tell him i had to think she told the dwarf.

Then she heads to runewick first ti hide and think.

[Mephistopheles]

It had been almost three days since she had gone for coal. Ulquiorra knew something wasnt right. He went to the dark hole mine and asked the dwarf there, he simply shrugged.

Odd...

[Keva Bran]

Keva uses what coin she had for seeds. She then begins to plant. In yewdale keeping an eye on the area is a sighn of dread or anuone she can't trust. And she is gone heading into the wilds leaving her crops. If needs be.

[Keva Bran]

She picks the tomatotes. and looks around. once she know it safe she heads back to runewick and hides in the city. she is hoping to fin shani. but she wont stay much longer. she has to keep moving. but for know she will sleep in the lovely garden.

[Mephistopheles]

He didn't feel like going to the others about his missing toy. So he sat and thought. Kidnapping was popular in these times, but it didn't seem likely. She could not go to Cadomyr...

Why was she gone? Had she thought to run away from him? She probably would not think to hide in the wilderness because both Ulquiorra and Juumajin knew the lay of the land quite well. That leaves Runewick. The thought of the cult of fire taking her in disgusted him.

Transforming into a cute dog he heads to Runewick and very soon after caught her scent.

[Keva Bran]

Waking up she sees a cute dog. She calls it over offering some tomatoes.

hey fella what you doing out here. Me , i had to think i like dread but i didnt feel free. Everyone says i should be free. But i thought i was free. But they were right. I am the red queen noones toy. But i still want to do all he says. I dont know what to do. I feel so lost. Thanks for listening but i must go. I hqve been in one spot to long. I might go head to the lake.she tells the dog.

And starts to gather her things and starts to cry. She looks at the dog and tells it to come.

[Mephistopheles]

Following the woman he doesn't bark or show much expression at all. He simply followed her as she leaves.

When the opportunity was right he'd take her. This was only a thrill to him, watching as his servant flees him not even realizing that he was still with her. He occaisionally looked about but it seemed no one would take an interest in the little "Red Queen".

She was nothing, she meant nothing to anyone, just an outcast from everywhere she goes because of her decisions. But now she is his, he gave her purpose and the means to an end, and he'll make her realize that.

[Keva Bran]

Deciding not to head to the lake. Cause thats where juuma might be. She decided to head to her hideout in cadomyr. She sneakes on to the lands and heads to the old orc post. Also known as the slave market. She makes it therr where she hides in her old room which is an old cell they used to to hold slaves. there are chains and chackles on the wall and a whipping post just outside the door.She sits watching until she finally feels safe and falls into deep sleep

[Keva Bran]

Keva wakes up and looks around. she sees the dog just looking at her.

I think I'll call you Bob. because that was my masters cover name. And as i look back. he should have been serving me. I am the red queen. Him and the others. Aeris , and Juuma. they all should have been worshiping the ground i walked on. Like the dogs they should be. they should be obedient to me. I will regain my mind and my strength and they will worship the red queen. Like obedient dogs they are. she rants to bob the dog.

Keva pulls out her sword and cuts her pigtails off. Then she looks around the room. remembering all the stuff she did freely. before she was broken. and stuff she will once again do. she then stares out the window lost in thought no paying attention to anything.

[Mephistopheles]

As she turns around the dog starts to laugh, an eerie chortle that would bring chills to even the most hardened men. when she turns around again to face the dog, he simply looks at her curiously as if nothing happened.

[Keva Bran]

Keva looks around and sees nothing but bob the dog. Keva thhinks It must be in my head. Noone knows i would come here. Its my mind playing tricks. Well just in case tomorrow ill head out where to go. I could hide out in galmair but that is to much of a risk. Then there is runewick but no matter where i go no one seems tocare about me. Well ill figure it out tomorrow. She sneeks in cadomyr when no one is around and repairs her armor. then heads back and pets Bob the dog on the head and decides to fall asleep.

[Keva Bran]

As keva sleeps she hears his voice.

You are mine, you can not run or hide where i cant find you. your are my toy. the voice says

She tosses and turns thru the night. she begins to sweat. She raise up screaming NO!!!! she looks around the room sees bob the dog curled next to her. she cudles him and falls back to sleep.

Iam free. i am free. she mumbles until she is back to sleep.

[Mephistopheles]

Once she wakes she may notice that the dog is gone...

[Keva Bran]

As she awakes she feels around for the dog. She thinks to herself. Great know the dog dont want to be with me. Maybe i do belong to him. He us they only one that seems to care. I need to think. So she sits there and thinks hard about her situation and starts to cry.

[Keva Bran]

do i belong free or do i belong to him. she thinks. She gathers her stuff and heads to the tower north to the glittery mines. she sneaks past the sappers. and climbs to the top. she unpacks a bed roll and look to the stars. she pondered. and thinks again before dozing off. i am free. i am free. i am his before dozing off curling in a ball crying.

[Keva Bran]

she begins to dream.

no one cares except him. return to him plead for forgivness and never leave the only one to protect you again the voice said

no they are my dogs they should crawl to me she said

and where has that gotten you the voice said.

i am free, i am free. keva said

since he broke you you will never be free. he is your master if he dies you must sacrifice your life as well to d=serve him in the after life. thus is the way of our people. the voice says.

who are you keva says as the voive shows it self mother, I am so lost.

before keva mother could answer. she wakes up wandering the streets of galmir mummbering I am his always. as she looks fro dread ignoring anyone just wanders the the street searching and saying i am his.

[Keva Bran]

keva is walking as if she is lost. and if any one approches her that is not dread. she growls at them then screams at them.

get away you are not him i need tofind him.

she walks all over Galmair three to for times. before she sits at the door of the alchemist building. just crying and rocking.

I am his, i am his, i am his. she mumbles

[Keva Bran]

Still not able to find him, Keva Walks every where her mind is gone. Shouting at people that try to get near her. Every night when she tries to think on her own that laughter rings through the air and in her dreams it the same hypnotic rant about her belonginh to him. This time she travels to the inn.

[Keva Bran]

they must have taken him. thats why i cant find him. they will pay. keva thought. as she searches for her master. Still mummbles to her self and if anyone comes close they risk getting into afight.

[Keva Bran]

After getting caught in cadomyr and escaping she finds him. she is now where she belongs. she has been punished for running away.

I wander if he will say something about my hair. but more worried that I will get punished again for causing more trouble. Am i even worth it. Artimer says i am. he said i was valuable. Probaly want some work from me. we will see. she thinks. as she looks at the fire place. where the black skeleton showed.

I will deliver his message maybe Shanni will know what it means. she stares off while she is thinking.

[Keva Bran]

Keva wakes after she had been severely punished for her disobedience. Looks over and sees dread still sleeping. The medicine seemed to heal her broken ribs. But she still having a hard time breathing and she can only let out a whisper. She attaches a collor around her neck to hide the rope burn and bruise. she pulls out a quill and parchment and starts to write.

Master. I went to get fresh air and walk. if i feel up to it i will head to the glittery mine and gather more supplies. I did want you to worry when you woke up and notice i was gone. Thank you for teaching me, my lesson. If it wasnt for that i wouldnt have realise the truth. I am yours and always yours. You are the only that i will follow and obey. I love you and will never hurt you like this again.

Your Red Queen and faithful servant
Keva

She places the letter where he can see it. Kisses him. and walks over where her bag is and grabs a new dress. She looks over at the dead orc and spits on him before she leaves.

[Keva Bran]

That orcess will get whats coming to her keva thinks. As she looks around she sees that not much has changed in the mines.

depending on how things go. I might strike a deal with her to free him. but i will wait and see keva thinks to her self

as she sits down in the chairs. Prisoners are dropping there resources at her feet. before the day was out she had enough resources to complete her punishment. she know sits and waits for the chancellors. as the other male prisoners keep dropping off resources.

[Keva Bran]

Keva was fighting a lava golem when everything went black hearing laughter. then when she came to she was crawling barely made it back to the protection of the cross. Artimer and a women banadaged her up. and as she rested she started to dream.


So you think you can hide from me. Blood queen. I made you what you are. and you turn your back on me. That was just a taste.

She wakes up screaming. sweating and breathing heavy. Looks around and sees nothing. and decides to head back to galmair.

[Keva Bran]

Keva was due to return. but she ran into trouble. a group of mercs had come for her head. fighting them off as best as she could. back up to the cliff edge. on of the mercs caght her in the head with a stone from his sling. She fell over the cliff. The mercs looked done and left to go collect their reward. Keva fell and landed in the river at the bottom. knocked out she floats down the stream. where she washed up on shore of some fisherman. They drug her in. shocked on how much she looked like her daughter. when keva wole up she took this opportunity to start a new life. she washed off any paint and is hiding her tattoos and they accepted her as their daughter. Kaya Lance is what she will be called. and for months she has enjoyed her life as a fisherman. but she stil worries that her past will catch up to her. She runs her belly. Wandering if he knows that she is pregnant. She can feel it growing inside her.

[Keva Bran]

On the 24 of Zhas she went into labor early. She had given birth to a set of twins. Sje named the boy Jace and the girl jenJennifer. A few months have passed and Kaya has almost forgotten about being Keva. She has lived as a fishermans daughter quite comfortably. Her father used to travel to runewick and the neighboring relms to sell the fish but he has gotten old and so she must head there to sell the fish herself. hopefuly all gos well and she can return home soon.

[Keva Bran]

After awhile kaya finally heres someone near the docks. "help" she screams. A cloaked figure enters the room. Kaya pleadsto the man as he smiles. You will make agood slave he said. kaya finally gets her hands free and stabs the man with his own dagger. she drags him and throws him in the river. She fially heads to the teleapoter and returns to galmair to continue her fishing.

[Azure Lynch]

Kaya returns home to find her new home freshly burnt to the ground and everyone was dead. Then she saw smoke coming from the Lance's home as she took off running when she gets there she finds her new family killed. She begins to cry and then something just snaps and she begins to laugh. Just then two knights carrying cadomyrian shields show up.

"What happened here one ask. Why are you laughing. I see nothing funny." One of them asks.

She turns around seeing who they are. Seeing the shields her broken mind tells her they are the ones that killed everyone.

Death is funny don't you think she says giggling. And skips to the one that spoke and stare him in the face. Just as soon as she got there them man fell to the ground with a dagger stuck in his neck. The other knight just froze. We cam e hear in peace to offer help. He said.

Peace I gave your friend peace. True peace is in death as she stabbed him in the chest. And soon all of cadomyr will burn for what they have done hear as she skips away into the night giggling.

[Azure Lynch]

Kaya looks across the dessert from the slave market where she remembered orcs she slain and the blood she drunk. She sits there labeling a couple of bottles. Human blood, orc blood, elf blood, and drow blood. She packs the bottles and heads toward the direction of cadomyr. She heads to the harbor of cadomyr. When she sees the crows flying over head she begins to giggle. She heads to galmair. Where she begins to look for Mr. C and Mr. J. And a very interesting human name lawlett. It wasn't until recently she can see his charm and if nothing else would be fun to watch him burn. Wander how long it will take to make him scream. She thinks as she skips off the boat and passes bre. Giggling the entire time.
