Anders awoke to the sound of laughing not the sort of laughing that that you'd wake up to in the hanged man this was sinister, to be plain, evil. He opened his eyes slowly and looked round he was strapped to a bed, he tried it to move but the straps held him down, Anders let out a noise of distress. He spotted two guards at the doorway one turned round at the sound that Anders was making.

"Oi boss he's awake." The guard said in a deep voice.

The main slaver that had been making Anders life hell for the past week came over becoming more menacing each step he took?
"Magic are you?" He snarled.
"I heard from my men said you've got a demon inside of you, your a demons bitch aren't you?" He smirked showing all of his disease riddled teeth.

Anders lifted up his head and spat into the head-slavers face. The man took a step back and wiped his face.
"You little-" he punched Anders in the face with all his might.
"How long before that demon bitch comes out eh? Oh I hope it's a desire demon, those tits." The slaver chuckled disgustingly.

He went over to a worn bench and grabbed a small dagger then proceeded to cut Anders stomach not deeply but just enough to hurt, but Anders refused to let out a sound, so he stayed quiet.

The slaver reacted to Anders silence by cutting him again more deeply. The slaver smiled as he tortured Anders as if he enjoyed the pain of others. Anders on the other hand was willing justice or vengeance (he could only tell the difference on a good day) not to come out and break the chains then the slavers neck.

After a while Anders passed out from blood loss but it still didn't stop the slaver, Anders had his own blood everywhere and if someone he knew where to walk into the room they wouldn't be able to tell it was Anders even if they're known him for a lifetime.

Lucky for Anders that was a good thing

Fenris had found the camp and had gotten most of the slaves out from the back entrance (which was the entrance with less slavers blocking the path) but there was still one more group he needed to get out.
He silently drifted through the camp killing any of the slavers that he came across for good measure.

He came to the group and ushered them out of the camp but then a small elven girl came up to him and tugged at his coat timidly.
"Yes?" His voice echoed round the premises.

"Please messer my friend, they.... they took him to a small hut where they..." She paused but Fenris already knew what she was talking about, torture was not uncommon in slave camps. He hurried off to the direction the girl pointed to. Fenris found the hut on the very edge of the camp, he could hear the laughing from the inside.

He opened the door to see two heavy armed guards that he took down easily with one sweep of his blade. Their deaths were merciless which is what they deserved. Fenris made a disgusted noise and stepped over they dead body's. He swung open the door to see what he could only guess was the head slaver torturing a young man, Fenris could not see the victims face because of all the blood that was covering him.

Fenris faded his hand and stuck it through the slavers chest and ripped out his heart. Fenris undid the straps that bound the man then picked him up, Fenris was surprised at how tall this man was but dragged him out anyway.

When he got out of the hut the small girl was waiting outside.
"Thank you messer, quickly the rest of us are over here." She guided Fenris over to where a lot of thankful x-slaves.
Fenris led them to a small town still carrying the tall man (who Fenris had figured out had blond hair) and gave the x-slaves some money.

The small elven girl followed Fenris over to a tavern who would give them a place to stay. Fenris knew the only reason he was still helping the girl was that she cared about the man and wanted him to be alive.
Fenris payed the caretaker and went up to a small room. The elven girl following still (luckily no one had asked about the bloodied unconscious man).

Fenris kicked down the door and place the man on a bed that was too small for him so his feet stuck out over the beds canvas.

"Go get a towel so I can clean this man up" Fenris said to the girl.
"No messer get some sleep I'll clean his wounds." She said sternly.
"Fine but once your finished take this gold and leave find a chantry they will take you in, and I will look after this man" the little girl nodded and Fenris shrugged his shoulders and took the pillow and blankets of the bed and laid down on a makeshift bed.

When Fenris was sure the girl wasn't watching he took off his shirt and laid down. He fell asleep almost instantly and dreamt of someone holding and helping him through life. Fenris fell asleep easily for what would seem like a lifetime.

Fenris always woke up first even before animals usually. Fenris woke up to a warm breeze coming through a window. He stood up and stretched then looked over to see the man he rescued yesterday looking at him, and Fenris' gut felt like it dropped out of his body at the man staring at him.

Fenris remembered it all, how blond hair that always glinted in the sun and turned gold, the honey brown eyes, the freckles that crossed his face trailing down his neck and the lips that always seemed to be chapped.

"Mage."

"Fenris."
