Hyu and Ellexionnasen chatting about hyu's journey living in Lahlmaroth, the unsavory individuals who he had met and others who weren't all that bad.

Hyu- "you have no, idea how bad my life got as soon as entered Lahlmaroth Ell... first off, I saved a man from being murdered, which apparently broke a mercenary code, and as for the contractor who had given the order she was some high mistress of some bloody Harem estate, which was quite flush if I might say..."

Ell-" *gasp*... y-you mean like women servants who were submissive to her?"

Hyu-"That's not the worst part, she was bloody huge, well y'know tall, eight or nine feet maybe..."

Ell-" I bet she was evil, filled with malice *whimpers*"

Hyu-" Well I mean she was bad yes but her house her rules I suppose, anyway when she had me taken to her quarters, I didn't want to show any fear but she was just intimidating at first sight, strong sturdy body, four arms! *ahem* well she was a devil just looking at her... not too sure what kind of hybrid she was however, she was dragon-like as far as I could tell but, something else...maybe"

Ell-" Did you tell your mother about this?"

Hyu-" ahhhh I figured it'd best best not to inform her of my predicaments... mostly because it gets worse..., so this mistress, Vhasorna was her name, she didn't appeal to the fact that I showed mercy towards her, far behind payment, customer and had me "disciplined"... I was... uh erhem.., beaten, stripped of my clothing and chained in one of her small underground cellars,..."

Ell-" WHAT?!!!! Hyu why didn't,... why didn't you run or leave? why did you stay in Lahmaroth for so long?"

Hyu-" Ell, let me finish... so inspite of everything all the abuse... and embaressment, because the harems would have to clean her cellars and I was in that place freezing... bloody, I didnt want to eat... I had a toilet though..., but there was one of her higher servants, Feyloon-san, the same mercenary whom I interfered with, my first day in Lahmaroth, she had asked Vhasorna for the cellar keys and requested if she could clean my wounds. I was of course angry and embarrassed beyond all reason, and she told me..."

(Hyu) -Feyloon-" You are very lucky Vhasorna let you live, she is known to tear men limb from limb, but she said that when she had finished lashing you, dripping in blood, you looked up at her slowly with black eyes... she said you could not die, you were special... like me..."

Hyu- Vhasorna appoints me as her first ever, male special rank merc and Feyloon taught me the merc code."

Ell-" why would you go through such great turmoil and struggle to prove so little?"

Hyu-" Well you didn't think i was going to live with my mother my whole life, did you?, HaHa"

Ell-" But you were safe with her... with us..."
