RoleChapter 1 Chapter One Added Mon Feb 6 16:05:08 2023 at level 34:Rodaidh watched as the slave trader rode off with those who had met them, as Zanzar had arranged. Zanzar was good at these things, he had learned that well over time. The trader would head south for two days, then turn west, avoiding the mountains, and after two more days, on camels by that point, start back north, to enter Hamsah Mutazz through the desertward gates. The slave trader was arrogant, young, too aware of how handsome he was, but he had come to them specifically for this undertaking, and he was greedy and ambitious which was good for their purposes. He was to be paid only when they were done. He was not going to run off. It was possible he would attempt betray them, but unlikely. Neither Rodaidh nor Tileza knew the trader, but the Zanzar had ordered them to meet him and also hired him for this, and if you trusted no one you could not do very much in the world, and they were doing something significant now, or hoping to. Well, yes. Murders of this sort did tend to be significant, he thought, amusing himself. He did not laugh, he did not laugh much, but he nearly smiled in the coming dark as he and the Shadow Lord turned to walk through the olive groves back to the Palace.
Rodaidh was glad to be ashore. He had spent a great deal of time at sea since killing his captor and escaping the Aquavia Montage, but he was happier on land. It was a simple truth. He had been born inland, well away from the coast. That ought to have offered protection against what had happened to him. You did not necessarily live your life in the ways that made you happiest, of course. He had not been happy killing his enslaver, but it had occurred to him that he had been a slave for longer than he had been free, and that had come to seem... unacceptable. A kind man who had bought you at a slave market and had taught you skill with ropes and knives, then had you trained with weapons to guard him, was still a man who owned you and made you do things he wanted done, whenever he wanted them done. Fixing the riggings of the circus ship, balancing high on the yard arm in gale winds on rough seas was fine for someone else to do, but Rodaidh was meant for a better life. Things were better since he had come aground and said the words of the Blood Oath. Listening to the teachings of the monks of his Lord Destuvius and applying them to his daily choices had proven out so far. There was so much to gain now and so little to lose in doing so.
