House in the southern part of Blu, Blu (Brick house that sells servants)

The time arrived, Rhav went with Ted to supply some blood for the branding process. They started with Taylor because she would need to be prepared for the memory process. Rhav was startled when he heard the scream that came out of Taylor's mouth. Considering that she hasn't spoke a word to him yet, Rhav thought it was a little sad. Soon after it was Neo's turn. The scream she released was much quieter, but Rhav was told that the pain she received was much more painful than Taylor had received. Given that mild headaches only needed to be lightly branded onto the body versus the simple pain that needed to be more deeply branded into the body.

After the branding was finished Rhav told Ted, "I'll leave before everything is finished, go pickup a cart, then come back. I'll be back within 4000 seconds."

"Okay I'll be waiting."

Rhav left, went home, grabbed his mini carriage sized bag with wheels, and went back to the brick house. Only 3200 seconds had passed by so far. Rhav wasn't a very fast walker and had enough trouble covering this distance. When he stepped into into the building, Neo was waiting there.

She stood up from a chair, walked towards Rhav and knelt like a knight, "Master, everything is prepared, other than waking up Taylor."

Neo lead Rhav to where Taylor was sleeping. He gently grabbed her shoulder, then started to shake her. She didn't wake up, but then Neo opened her mouth, "Master, how about trying out the brand on both of us? I heard that you need to actively use it atleast once every 75 thousand seconds a few times after it's initially placed."

Rhav waved his hands, and attempted to try the brand out. It took a little bit of effort to figure out how to do it. He felt it was easier to use it on Neo than Taylor. Neo fell to the floor and started to moan in pain. Taylor also immediately woke up and started to shreak. After a few seconds, Rhav figured out how to stop the brand, and the two servants soon quieted down.

Taylor upon seeing Rhav cow towed while on the bed and mumbled in a very quiet voice barely audible to Rhav, "Master."

Rhav wryly smiled and spoke, "I thought your negative memories were removed, why do you still speak so quietly?"

Taylor replied in the smallest of sounds, "It's a habit, and I'd feel embarased if I just changed it over night."

Rhav noded, "Oh yeah, don't call me master anymore, call me young master instead. Also Neo, carry Taylor out and follow me. I'll carry these clothing. I have a mini carriage sized cloth cart out side we can place Taylor and these clothes into. We'll go to a nearby realtor and get a warehouse to rent so we can store all our stuff and a place for you two to sleep."

Rhav arrived at a realtor office and told the two to watch the cart. He entered the building was was greeted by a good looking natured man, "Hello~ How can I help you today~" A cheerful voice echoed.

Rhav replied, "Hello, I'm looking for a warehouse that's atleast 1000 sq.ft. It needs to be on the first floor, and have access to a well and a nearby stall for animals or beasts preferably on the property. My budget is 20 silvers, and I only need to rent the space out for 4 million seconds."

The smile left the man's face as he replied, "So sorry sir~ Because the upcomming festival, the price for a property you are looking for will be about 60 silvers for that time amount that you requested."

The smile left Rhav's face. It was obvious that this was just bullying, but he smiled again and replied, "Oh really? How about 25 silver?"

"Sir, it's really going to cost 60 silver. The price is projected to increase as the time gets closer."

"50 silvers, else I might as well go outside and setup tents."

"Sir, I'm not going to lie to you, that's not a bad idea. If you want a warehouse in town, it's going to be 60 silvers. The other realtors are selling at 70 to 75 silvers. We are on the south side of town and further away from the bridge, so there will be a traffic issues for our warehouses if you plan on using it only to store things you want to buy for the expedition."

"Thanks, any recommendations where to buy warehouse sized tents?"

"Walk down the road south, the building is painted blu. Ask for Jim, you might as well say the realtor recommended you."

"Thanks for the information." Rhav took out a silver coin, noded his head, placed it on the desk, and turned to leave.

Rhav found the building, again had the two wait outside. Upon entering the building, a little girl Rhav's age was sitting down.

The girl stood up, bowed to Rhav, and said while smiling, "Hi~ Welcome~ Uh, How can I help you." She stared unblinkingly at Rhav waiting for his response.

Rhav laughed, "I'm looking to buy a warehouse sized tent. The realtor up the road recommended me to speak to Jim, because the prices for warehouses in town are too expensive haha."

The girl knit her brows for a moment then spoke, "Uhh, how big of a warehouse did you want?"

"1000 sq.ft. so like 500 for work space, 500 for storage, an area for beasts or animals, and a tent for sleeping that can fit upto 10 people. Does that help?"

"Alright, big brother~ I'll get help and let them know what you want."

"Okay."

The girl left quickly, then came back with a burly looking man. He had a serious sun tan.

The man spoke, "I'm Jim. We have medium sized walled pavillion tents. You can use them for storage space or setup work areas inside. From what I'm told you'll need 2 medium walled pavilions, a small walled pavilion for animals, and a medium sized regular tent for people to sleep in. If you follow me I'll show you small models of what they look like as well as miniturized wagons and people models for comparisions."

The man showed Rhav a table that had miniturized figures and models made of clay that gave an idea of what the tent looks like and how large they are. Rhav liked what he saw. He had arranged for the tent to be delivered by carriage. At the same time, he made a deal to keep the carriage. The rider would mount their beast back. He ended up spending 70 silver coins. He had 25 silver coins left remaining.

While everything was being loaded and arranged, Rhav led the two to a small market. He spent 5 silver coins on 500 meals worth of crackers, cheese, dried meat, and some fried fruit, plus 4 empty barrels, and a barrel of fresh water. He also saw a cloth sellsman, and decided to get some materials.

"Hello, I'd like to get some cheap and strong fabric to make rucksacks."

A man acknowledged Rhav who replied, "Hi sir, I'd like to ask how much material do you want. How strong does the material need to be?"

"I'd like 100 yards of cotton duck canvas. Hm, how about uh, 50 yards of flannel too. And I'd like a 1000 yards of thread and 400 feet of simple yarn."

The man started to count in his head. After 15 seconds, the man gained focus and stared at Rhav and said, "That'll be 19 silver coins. 14 silvers for the canvas, 2 silver for the flannel, a silver for the thread, and 2 silver for the yarn."

After paying, Rhav had exactly 1 silver coin left. He felt a little wierd. Wasn't everything a little too close to the perfect amount of money. The pushed cart went back to the tent dealer with the trio.

The carriage was loaded and ready. They had the small cart loaded on the carriage too, and they traveled west to their future camp near the edge of the empty forest.

Rhav's Holding Camp, Vacinity north of Empty Forest, Blu

After they found a location that wasn't too far from town, but next to the empty forest, they told the driver that here was a fine location to drop them off. The beast was unhooked form the carriage, and the driver and beast left.

Rhav turned to Neo, and spoke, "We will setup the small sized tent first, eat then sleep. We didn't bring anything to sleep with, but the tent has a floor liner that's clean and new."

Rhav couldn't really help with the tent, so he sat next to Taylor. The next thing he knew, he was waking up laying down next to Taylor.

He laughed while still feeling tired then said, "Did I pass out? I guess I was more tired than I thought. How long was I asleep for?"

The tent was already finished, and both Taylor and Neo were sitting next to Rhav when Neo spoke, "Uh, about 10 thousand seconds."

"Have either of you ate yet?"

"Not yet master," Neo replied.

"Well, I'll say it now then. From now on, if you are hungry then eat food that's prepared for you. You can eat 2 meals between each sleep cycle. If you are working, you can get upto 3 or 4 depending on difficulty of work. I bought 500 meals worth of food, that should be enough for the 3 of us for 4 million seconds. Neo, bring 4 of each ration over and a jug of water."

Neo brought over a jug of water first, then came back with 4 pieces of crackers, meat, cheese, and fruit. The jug was set on the ground, and when Rhav received the rations.

Rhav handed 1 set of food to Taylor and 2 sets to Neo then spoke, "Neo, you get two rations because of the work you did." Rhav picked up the jug of water, drank some, then continued saying, "Both of you help your selves to water as well." Rhav placed the jug back down after looking at the two. After some time passed, Rhav took out a piece of paper that had a list of items on it. He started to explain the items on the list.

After a brief explaination, he continued, "I have a single silver coin left. I'm able to make inscriptions like that cart bag you've seen so far. I'd like Taylor to sew another cart and 3-4 very large rucksacks. I'd like 2 rucksacks finished first, then the cart. After you finish a Rucksack, I can begin making inscriptions on a rucksack. When we complete a rucksack, we can sell it for a very high profit. It used to take me 2.5-3 million seconds to make the last rucksack and cloth cart, but with your help I think we can reduce it to 1.75 million sconds. Today with the materials I got, we can make some more money. If we make enough, maybe we can get 1 more escort. Oh I just remembered something!"

The trio looked at Rhav with questioning gazes as if saying, 'what are you saying or remembering?'. Rhav opened his mouth and dropped a bomb, "I was once told from my father that my mother could use healing abilities, right now the core of my abilities are sealed, which is why i have issues walking, but now I have someone I can practice my abilities on! haha~. I've only used it once, and it was really really weak, but atleast I know I have the inherited ability for healing."

The face Taylor was making was a wierd expression, "Young master, you can heal my legs?"

Rhav wryly smiled, "Not right now, but in the future when I get my inherited abilities completely unlocked, uh, I once heard that my mother could reattach missing limbs."

Taylor smiled in a way that showed the lack of hope and said, "Young master, but my legs are disabled."

Neo thought this was an interesting topic said, "Oh? What if we take someone elses' legs, and give you those?"

Rhav also liked this conversion and laughed saying, "Haha, where are we going to get legs?"

Then Neo said something interesting again, "Someone who recently died?"

Taylor and Rhav looked at Neo with interested looks. Rhav mentioned, "Well I have two victims to practice healing and sealing abilities on now haha. Who needs some old person's legs?"

Neo asked, "Young master, you said you have sealing abilities, but your abilities are also sealed? Why don't you unseal them your self?"

"Uh, I don't know. I don't think I have enough strength to remove it though?"

Neo laughingly said, "Do you think I have enough strength to cut a tree down with a knife?"

"No." Rhav was questioning in his mind whether this was a rhetorical questions or not after he answered Neo.

"It might take a long time, but I can slowly cut deeper and deeper in a tree, eventually cutting it down. Why can't you do the same with the seal?"

"I'll atleast give it a try."

Rhav nodded in agrement and then sat down criss-cross-applesauce. He started to breath in slowly, and concentrated on himself. After a while, he gathered his energy and circulated energy for unsealing on his fingers that was touching his navel. His body was starting to be covered in sweat while he was concentrating. After 4 thousand seconds, Rhav finally passed out while drenched in sweat, then vomited some black blood out of his mouth unconciously. Taylor wanted to help, but with damaged legs, she couldn't stand without the help.

Taylor said in a quiet voice, "(Neo, we should bring) young master into the tent (to rest)." The first and last part wasn't actually said, but Neo knew what Taylor meant.

Neo just replied, "Okay."

She placed Rhav into one of the new blankets still covered in sweat and wet clothes. She also helped Taylor to move into the tent too. Everyone went to sleep at this point. After Rhav woke up, he felt very sick. The other two also woke up because of his awakening. He spoke up, "Uh, why am I so sticky."

Neo replied, "Young master, you were unsealing your self and started to sweat and even spat out black blood. After you passed out I brought you to the tent to rest."

Rhav was a little irritated, "Why am I still covered in sweat and dirty clothes?"

"Young master, we don't have any other clothes for you here."

"You could have just cleaned the ones I'm wearing? And," There was a pause, Rhav was experiencing a headache, and the agrovation from talking was making it worse. He started to get cranky and complained, "Get a bucket and help me."

After Neo helped with washing this unreasonable guy, he was still cranky, "My blanket is wet, were trading blankets. Go clean my clothes. I'm going back to sleep."

She felt helpless dealing with her cranky young master. After she washed the clothes and came back, she saw Taylor's eyes staring at her, as if they were laughing at her. Neo pouted and got into her sleeping bag blanket, and she just felt the cloth was still damp. She was getting irritated at this point, and started to silently cry.

Rhav woke up after a good sleep, he was feeling a little cheerful and good. He saw Taylor was awake too, and asked, "Want some food too?"

She nodded and Rhav saw Neo was still asleep so he went to get something for just the two of them. He first brought back a jug of water, then came back and handed a set of the same usual food to Taylor.

When Taylor started to eat, Rhav started speaking, "I was thinking that we can start working on the goals I wanted." Rhav paused while chewing on some meat, then continued, "We need atleast 40 silvers to buy supplies for the trip to the new camp. I'd like to get upto 150 silvers so we can get supplies for a backup plan if everything fails." Rhav took a cracker with cheese into his mouth, continued, "We should get a second warrior or guard. If we want a tier 1 warrior, we'll want 180 silvers to equip them too. We'll also need about 30 silvers for Neo still." Taylor nodded in understanding, but Rhav wasn't really looking at her when he placed some cheese in his mouth. He nodded in satisfaction for the cheese and continued to speak, "I'd like some variety in food before we get tired of the same food, right now I love the taste of the cheese. Well, anyways uh, I'll walk home and bring all my books and supplies here. My dad doesn't know I am doing all this, so I need to be super secretive. We'll talk more when I get back. Keep Neo nearby until I get back to our little holding base. Any questions so far?" Rhav ate the dried fruit after asking the last question.

Taylor shook her head and spoke in a very quiet voice, "None."

Rhav nodded grabbed some water and gulpped some down then said while standing up, "Okay, I'll leave now."
