We stood facing each other, both breathing hard and covered in a light sheen of sweat. "You're a natural," He said, and there was pride in his voice. "Sylvia, I've trained warriors for years, and I've never seen anyone take to combat like you just did. You have instincts that can't be taught." "Maybe it's because I've spent my whole life fighting to survive," I said quietly. "Being a slave, you learn to read people and to anticipate violence before it happens. Maybe that translates." His expression darkened. "You'll never be anyone's slave again. I swear it."

Neither did the congregation cling to their children when we passed, nor did they look down on us with disgusted faces and darkened eyes. But not there where everyone is boisterous and singing at the top of their voices. There was no upstairs or draft, the chapel was too small for that. It was a quaint old chapel that was nearly always filled. My friend,Mabel, goes on about how good out masters are to us to let us go to a different church. This was not the case most times, she said, most people never let their slaves stray from their side. They didn't want wild, unfettered ideas, preached into their heads. They were mean enough, she felt, to try and even control the thoughts of their bound.

Seraphina’s POV As I waited for my meeting with the Riddle family’s leader, I couldn’t help but think back to the stories I had heard about slaves. Moonbane had never practiced slavery within our borders, but that didn’t mean I was ignorant of the world outside. Helena had told me stories—dark, unsettling ones—about the conditions that slaves endured in other parts of the world. They were property, bought and sold without a second thought. Their fates were determined not by their own choices, but by the whims of their owners.

The realization hit her like a wave crashing against the shore, leaving her breathless and disoriented. His parting words echoed in her mind like a haunting refrain, each syllable laden with the weight of her predicament. "Slave." The word reverberated within her, a stark reminder of the cruel reality she had been thrust into. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't reconcile herself to the notion that such practices still endured in the world. Yet, amidst the turmoil of her thoughts, a sliver of relief pierced through the darkness – she was no longer in immediate danger.

Phuture recognized many faces of men and women recently freed with Willie Lou and Chicago after the invasion of Sandy Island, all of them were reporting under Harriet to further their education and knowledge about the war. Harriet really is running this shit... I'm sure that's everything Celie Ward wanted to be. When we arrived, Willie Lou ran up to hug her like family! Also... Celie educated the slaves, fought with the slaves, and died with slaves. Her honor for her people should be recognized... "Hey." Terrance's voice called out to her, bringing her back from the world of thoughts. "Are you alright?" "I still feel pretty weak... but I'm here so I can't complain." Phuture answered with her

I stepped back into the vibrant world outside, a realm that celebrated the chosen while relegating the overlooked to the shadows. In the midst of the revelry, I navigated the corridors with newfound determination. The weight of being a slave, once an anchor that threatened to drown me, now became a catalyst for resilience. The celebration continued around me, but within, a spark of defiance ignited—a resolve to redefine my worth beyond the shackles of societal labels.

"You'd display me naked to the delivery person?" "I would. Slaves are always slaves. They don't get to choose when their Master dresses them. When he has guests, or conducts business, she will wear what she's wearing. Your usual reading fare shows slaves being humiliated by their naked slavery, forced to display themselves before others. The only dispensations I'm allowing you is the community standards of today. If I took you out naked, we'd likely both be arrested, but you will likely wear as little as the law allows. Inside our own home, anything is allowed."

Hundreds of people responded with a sound of kneeling. The next second, people's voices came from each cell. "Master, please show mercy and save us out." "Yes, this is not a place for people to stay. Also, we... we don't want to be slaves." Looking at the pleading crowd, Yvonne smiled gently, walked out, and said softly, "Don't worry, everyone. We will definitely take you out." "Everyone is equal. We are not slaves." Samuel nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I will still do as I said and save everyone out."

If only she knows how Sia treats me. “What’s with the choker?” She touched it. “Oh it’s just a slave tag”. “A slave tag? You’re a slave?” “You seem surprised”. “I am. I never expected it. I once thought slavery had been abolished”. She snorted. “Abolished? Impossible. It was never abolished Crinka. I doubt anyone would want to put an end to selfless service”. “Back home, only humans captured in war could be slaves. Does the same happen here?”

The poor were relegated to slums on the city's outskirts, hidden from the public eye unless they had business beyond their domes The structure was discriminatory. While all were Eldorians, there was no sense of unity beyond their class. Sarang vividly remembered the first time he had witnessed a public beating of a pickpocketing child from the slums. If not for Sebastian’s intervention, the child would have lost a limb—or worse, his life. That incident had starkly reminded Sarang of his own fortune, because as twisted as it sounded, in some ways, slaves had it easier, provided their masters weren’t malicious. Nathaniel and Sarang wandered into Linfield’s bustling market, the heart of the cit
