[quote][b]Remus (Jul 08, 2003 10:59 a.m.):[/b] [b]THE STORY[/b] [i]Chapter I: Slave[/i] Xan, as always, is assigned to the orientation of the new shipment of slaves which has arrived at the gates of Lord Arraxis' plantation. He immediately notices the strange concentration of trust and loyalty around a girl (Seila) near the center of the group. That evening Seila interferes with the masters' power demonstration on behalf of the boy (Nemin) being tortured, but is subdued. Xan is roused late that night and offered a chance to refute claims made by Seila under torture, but declines, and is placed in the Box for three days. By the time he is released, Seila is well again, and has built a significant power base. She attempts a revolt, but underestimates the fear in the other slaves, and though she cuts down several overseers with her scythe, she is placed in a coma when one of the overseers' stun staves lands a blow on her head. Kariis, who knows something of Xan's powers, demands that he do something for her. Xan sequesters himself within the infirmary with Cilcis (the medic), and after many hours of study, is able to heal Seila. News of Seila's miraculous recovery spreads quickly, and both she and Xan are placed in the cells. The revolt proceeds without them, empowered by Seila's "chosen" status. Nemin comes to the cells to report that the slaves are attacking the overseers and winning, and that Kariis is wounded, and frees them both. Seila departs for the mansion, ordering Nemin to accompany Xan. They locate Kariis and heal him. On the way to the mansion, Xan witnesses Cilcis' murder. He goes to the mansion and stops Seila and the other slaves from murdering Arraxis, instead advising that he will be useful in arranging their escape. The freemen leave the plantation and set up camp in the desert to the south. Xan, Nemin, and (Kariis/Seila) take Arraxis into the city to arrange transport out of Commonwealth space, but Arraxis raises an alarm and the party must go into hiding. With great care, the party locates sympathizers who arrange passage for the slaves aboard a cargo vessel. Xan and party return to the camp site. If Seila was left in charge, the camp is empty and Xan and party must locate them at a plantation to the East, which they have attacked and overtaken. The freemen escape onboard the cargo ship to Ixim. Seila asks Xan to stay with the group and keep fighting, but Xan declines. He and Kariis bid the other freemen farewell.[/quote]
