The Familiar Summoned

Chapter 2 A Slave and a Disipline

*Floating along the river all night long! Lost in the grey zone all night long..don't know if my master died day or night...am I ever gonna get outta this river all along?! My mini music show to entertain myself finally ended with me getting sucked back sharply and quickly to the Egyptian sands. I looked around and saw my master sitting on his throne looking quiet bored.*

"Saraphinx, I want you to go around and find me a suitable wife befitting of a Pharo and I don't care how you bring here here as long a she is unharmed or dead."

*I gave a node in acknowledgment. As long as I had something to do other than do nothing in the grey zone I was happy especially since it seemed I had been in their awhile since master was about six when he summoned me and he was now what appeared to be thirteen, maybe fourteen? I padded out of the palace on light feet. The scenery had changed quiet a bit the weirdly shaped monuments that had been being built were now apparently tombs big tombs might I add. Well master didn't give me a specific time frame to find his so called befitting bride so I can take as long as I like. My eyes darted around lazily as I walked through the market place people yelled what they were selling some fish others jewelry even slaves apparently. Compared to the human slaves I had a lot more of a luxury than them. Something in the slave crowd caught my eye however a young girl about twelve her eyes were a emerald green and her hair was as golden as the sands and her skin a pale white. I came closer to see what the auctioneer was yelling out.*

"Here we have a young beauty an exotic one at that from a faraway land towards the north she knows about a few household chores however I believe it is obvious her beauty would be suited elsewhere. The starting bid will be five silver."

*People yelled bids after bids finally going all the way up to fifteen gold. I didn't want to see this girl get auctioned off the the highest bidder which was so far an old fat man obviously a slob by the looks of it and the unspeakable would be done to her by the smell of lust coming from him. I felt a small tug of string mana binding on my form and I drew manna from it manafesting a human form and conjured up thirty gold from the grey zone. I wouldn't be able to hold this febil form for long so I had to be quick.*

"Thirty gold!"

"Thirty gold going once..twice sold to the girli!"

*I went up and grabbed the rope and undid it handing the gold to the auctioneer and left.*

"What are you going to do with me?"

*Her voice was so scared I felt bad for her.*

"Well I won't give you too some old pervert is what, listen I can't hold this form much longer so just follow me."

*I released out  of my form in a puff of dark smoke and I sat staring up at the girl. She muffled a scream with her hand.*

"Y..y..your a fox?!"

*I looked at my form, so that's what I was. I moved a few paces forward and looked back at the girl and she followed me cautiously. I lead her back to the palace she looked a me with a nervous look.*

"You aren't taking me there are you?"

*I nodded and if not for me grabbing onto her dress and pulling her along she would have fled. I lead her into the palace then the throne room guards giving me a skeptical look and a wary one towards the girl. I took a running dash to my master not making eye contact as he looked me over then his eyes looked up to the girl.*

"Who is this you brought Saraphinx? Speak familiar."

*I can't speak in this form! Wait maybe telepathy?*

'Hello can you hear me?'

'Who said that?'

'Saraphinx.'

"I see, who is this girl your brought me she can't seem to understand my language can you understand her?"

'Yes.'

"Tell me what she says, and I thought I told you in my very clear rules you can't use my mana. So once you are done then you will be punished."

*I hung my head down and nodded.*

"Is your name Saraphinx?"

'Hmm...oh yes it is.'

"Can you help me translate to the umm...Pharos? Language?"

'Yes I can.'

"Ask him what he wants with me."

'She asked what you want with her.'

"I haven't decided yet however your beauty has captivated me."

'He hasn't decided, but your beauty has captivated him.'

"Ask him if I will be a slave or a royal dancer or what."

'She wants to know what her accupation will be at this palace.'

"Perhaps a dancer or maybe because of her unusual beauty my wife."

'Either a dancer or his wife.'

*She gave a nod. The palace guards came with the snap of masters fingers as they lead her to her new room and a depart guard came picked me up and took me to the disciplinary room in other words the whip room. I felt the painful whip come down upon my delicate skin and pelt and I felt it enterwine into whip marks till I was no longer ebony, but crimson only then after the guard had sent a notice that he was finished did I get proofed back to the grey zone only my wounds didn't heal like last time I had broke a masters rule so thus I had to suffer the agony of my disobedience.*
