Chapter 1: The Prophesy

"We need something to place in our ears then someway to block their song."

Before we go anywhere, Frieda says pointing at Corelief's slave, I want to know what you plan on doing with her. When Bimble sent us on this mission, he didn't say anything about having to work with a goddamn slaver.

He says in the conversation in general, I do believe some ear muffs is in order. Looking over to Frieda. Rest of the world doesn't have the same thoughts as you. Perhaps it is time to learn such. I'm not your teacher.

Thank you that was quite a statement indeed. Yes. Letting her free here would only bring her recapture and quite possibly to a lesser situation.

So that's your big plan? Give money to slavers, helping to perpetuate the slave trade? And where, exactly, were you planning on doing this big release of yours? Somewhere on the side of the mountain? You don't know anything about this girl, who she is or where she's from, and you're just going to take her out in the woods somewhere and let her go, like she's some kind of an animal you nursed back to health? That's brilliant. You're brilliant.

He responds back, After we leave this place, she is free to go. I have only meager supplies to give. If she doesn't leave then she can perhaps later if she wishes. I only bind her to me while we are within this city.

Continuing on, Those options are her's. Perhaps when we get out of the city, we can try to reason with her. By my own observations, she doesn't speak our language, but to keep to the image of ownership, I haven't yet made efforts otherwise.

"She could be owned by someone else with no chance of freedom."

And I thought I had already heard the dumbest idea for defeating slavery, but here you come with this one.

Corelief who has no interest in further conversation about the slavery, goes on with the situation at hand. Well then I guess we can get some ear muffs and tomorrow meet you just outside the city wall here to head into the mountains?

Looking slightly about, How would one get out of here?

Corelief follows being guided and now has removed the collar and leash from his slave, but does urge her to follow him. He does however use the last of his snacks while doing so. Looks to be a good day as any to be moving.

Nods and rises, "Should we get wax for our ears then ?"

What is the cost of say WAX and EAR MUFFs? Add to Corelief expenses. For him that would be double as he pays for his slaves too.

Dara buys a candle and melts some wax. Most likely earmuffs wont fit him.

Ever prepared and it appears the new slave appears to be willing to follow. Corelief makes an attempt to communicate to her some. Pointing to himself, Corelief. And the points to her and saying the word Name. and again pointing to himself and saying Corelief. He waits to see how she responds before the march into the mountains.
