Prologue
*before the fight Masrur had against Sinbad, lady Maader came to talk to masrur*
"Masrur, your victory against Sinbad is obvious, but the quicker you finish the battle the more time I'll let you see him." She told him, for a split second a hopeful look appeared in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by his usual straight face and he nodded.
*after the fight with Sinbad*
Masrur was taken to a private room there in front of him was a boy whose back was turned, similar features as him, without a doubt it was another fanalis boy. "Hi Masrur!" His voice sounded delicate, but with so much joy. "You knew i was here?" Asked masrur. "Well thanks to our heightened senses it's not hard when you smell bad."
The kid gladiator walked up and sat next to the boy and asked "what are you doing?" The boy paused for a moment "Maader's stupid work" he said. "Take a break and let's go outside, okay?" The boy simply nodded and got up to follow his friend.
Once in the mansion's garden, the two Fanalis boys played hide and seek since they had been banned from playing tag, after they had destroyed many things last time. The little boys laughed a lot, it was one of the few times Masrur didn't have a straight face.
As they were playing the boy began to cough and collapsed to the floor "Mytas!" Masrur was able to catch the boy, and ran to where he knew Mytas would get help. He arrived there quickly, and called out for Mytas' caretaker and nurse, "Miss E! Miss E!" This wasn't the first time a situation like this happened, so the nurse came rushing and snatched the boy away. "I'll help him, I think lady Maader was looking for you, so leave this to me and don't make her wait."
With a simple nod Masrur exited and headed towards Maader.
*with Maader
"I congratulate you, you won a fight and got to spend time with your friend," she said with a smirk plastered on her face. "I was thinking that your fighting abilities have weakened, you know what I'll do if you lose in a match right?" Masrur simply nodded, hating how she threatened him using Mytas, Maader fully knew that the two were inseparable and that they were better together. "That boy is useful, when both of you get older you'll be forced to breed" Maader said. Mytas was special because he was smart and caring but also because he had a rare condition, he was born as a male but had female organs to reproduce. Maader planned to use this to be able to raise Fanalis and eventually sell them at high prices to help her company.
"Masrur, I can count on you to always win right?" She asked, her voice almost sounding sweet, Masrur again simply nodded.
~Sinbad eventually fell under Maader's schemes and her business eventually grew more and more powerful. Until the slave riot happened and she was forced into a great debt. Reference to volume 10 chapter 81 after the rebellion~
Masrur spoke up "um... sinbad..." as sinbad turned to the children there was a silence, then he spoke, "Ja'far... can't we bring these children back on the boat with us...?... Although causing a rebellion was my goal, I really did want to free all of us from slavery... As atonement for getting them all mixed up in my fate... I'd like to at least help the survivors..." Ja'far didn't hesitate. "Of course. I'll take responsibility for all of it. That's what you said, after all, isn't it?" "...Yeah, it is."
Sinbad friends welcomed him back, but Masrur wondered about someone else. 'Is he okay?' He thought, he left the scene to go look for Mytas, throughout the rebellion he hadn't thought of where he could be. He headed to the room and study Mytas was always in, as he got closer his senses told him no one was inside but he decided to check anyway. The room was trashed, but a paper by the window caught his attention, he walked to it and read it.
"I'm okay. See you when we're older Masrur.
- Mytas"
