The Punished And The Privileged

Chapter Two- memories

Kaydence's point of view
I dont remember my home or my family its hard because i try my hardest to remember and not one small thing comes to mind im sixteen now, atleast that's what they tell me, two years till i can return and see what it was like all i want is to meet the people that gave me up for this........ I'd call it a life but its far from it i spend all my days training and hunting or attending banquets and feasts alongside my master koolshi he is the masters right hand man but there has been rumours that have suggested that ill be passed up to master malikai himself next year it would be a honour to stand alongside him, maybe he can tell me about my past, afterall he is the son of the man that took me from my home and family. he might have answers.

But for now i must do my duty we have a hunting team going out tomorrow with me as the leader, if i fail at all i will be punished and from my last experiences with punishments they seem to get worse the older you get, ive been in punishment chambers over fifty times from which has left my skin covered in scars and bruses but one that I always hid was the one on my face.

It started just below my bottom right lip and ended above my left eyebrow. No one but my trainers have seen it and i always try my hardest to cover it with a hood, im just lucky it didn't make me blind, thats the last thing i need.

"come along" says master koolshi "im passing you over today" he adds as i walk out of my tent, equipped in all red with a cape that goes down to the floor. "so soon?" i ask him as we make our way to the castle.

made out of marble it truly was a sight to see with two curved staircases split apart by our guilds emblem a red skull with two pure silver swords going up and down, meant to mimic a sword going up through the throat and one going through the skull, "yes your behaviour has been very good lately and it's time for you to have a new master".

"yes master koolshi if i must" i, of course, didnt want to. Master malakai, usually just called master, was the man who chose me too be his new student. As we walked up the steps i see all five masters and the master himself, i bow to all of them, and stood up straight to look straight ahead.

" we have been viewing all of your progress, you have great talent and your trained enough to move to the highest ranks or, if you choose, take over your current masters placed and become a trainer" says master echo looking me in the eyes. The room was set up so that they could all look and judge me with one long table seating the four males and two females "I'd rather move up in rank sir" i replied not once changing my position. "alright then, time for the blood bounding" everybody geys up and walks to the front garden and i follow. Master koolshi passes me what seems to be a glance full of gratitude for not taking his place all i can do is give a small nod back as i stand opposite master malakia, pick up one of the silver blades and begin saying my vows as i slice my hand open and let blood drain as my new master does the same and the we shake hands, eternally binding us.
