Urgency was my first sign of wakefulness. I could perceive the blackness of the void in my mind, and it urged me to struggle; this led to me beginning to thrash in my sleep. The fear of the paralyzing sleep demon... the rush to escape that void. A warm embrace and a wet cloth. Hot breath...

Suddenly air was reaching my lungs. Still panicking my thrashing intensified, till with a shove and a jerk I awoke, and opened my eyes; and there sitting on the floor looking somewhat flustered was a woman whose form would put many voluptuous IG models to shame. She was wearing what I assume to be an oversized tunic, and apparently no undergarments. I should've been shocked but honestly in my trance-like state time just moved in slow-motion.

I got out of the bed and approached. She remained on the floor; legs slightly spread and sitting on her knees and butt looking up at me. Soon I was standing over her. Taking in her appearance, paying attention to her sapphire blue eyes and contrasting brown skin. Mere inches away from her she lowers her head and looks down, refusing to continue eye contact. Entranced by the figure I lowered my hand using my forefinger to lift up her chin and continue eye contact. Silence...

The words left my mouth smoothly and with as much warmth I could muster I complimented her.

"Your gorgeous!"

Silence... A slight narrowing of her eyes was all the warning I got before she swiftly leapt up, taking my forearm and manuevering herself behind me and locking my arm into place. Her other hand grabs the back of my head and then turns me toward the bed before she shoves me back down. The room begins to brighten somewhat as something that never existed where I come from manifests itself into being.

' is that conjured rope?' I wonder as I tilt my head to the side to take a glance. The coiling shape is manifesting around her; eyes glowing a deeper sapphire before I feel my ankles being bound. Slowly but surely it winds itself around me. Once fully bound she releases me, then turns me over front facing her. I take note of the ring on her right hand because suddenly from thin air what I assume to be a pill appears. I begin to thrash again, fearing the unknown pill but only able to struggle futilely.

I see a small grin on her face; Probably due to regaining control of the situation. Time dilates somewhat as she forces the pill into my mouth where it instantly dissolves. Lethargy overtakes me. I begin blinking and attempting to thrash harder to fight the oncoming sleep that's overtaking me. Her grin widens into a full blown smile... and before I get taken by the blissful sleep I commit her face to memory. Long black shoulder length hair, full lips, and soft skin that makes her look almost cherubic in nature; the picture of purity and innocence. Sleep takes me and before I fully go under. I muse about my fate... how long will I remain uneducated?

----------------------------------------

Searing pain awakens me when I next regain conciousness. I let out a moan of pain, and I hear two voices in response. Probably discussing any curiousities they have about me. Due to my foreign status it's not a surprise I don't understand them. I feel as though I'm being branded and inked at the same time. I'm strapped to a flat surface, lying on my stomach. The searing pain is coming from my back left shoulder; and whatever is causing this pain makes me feel like my skin is writhing. Finally after what was probably short but agonizing few seconds the pain is over. As I lift my head up someone moves around me until they stand in front of me. Taking my chin in their hands and lifting my head further up I recognize the woman whom saved my life; Working her wonders again she makes a miniature glowing book appear in her hand and puts it in front of my eyes.

The golden hued book is illegible. With script far too small to be read but I assume it's purpose isn't actually for reading. Soon after a few seconds it bursts into light and begins seeping into the pores of my temple? When the light fully disappears I get hit with an enormous migraine! I let out a sound of pain, and once again she feeds me a pill this time soothing the pain and helping me relax. Then she speaks...

"Otherworlder explain yourself" She says. "I'm giving you the benefit of doubt due to the circumstances of our initial meeting, please tell me what exactly was going through your head when you laid hands on me?"

Slightly flustered I swiftly begin to exonerate myself of any negative opinions...

"My lady I assure you I meant no harm, merely I found your appearance to be enchanting thus our intimate moment and my complimenting your angelic features.. though you probably didn't know what I was saying at the time"

'Good, I was somewhat concerned. Whilst you had me surprised at your sudden movement and aggression I thought you may have had untoward thoughts. Especially since the raging bulge in your pants was damn near my nose! At least now I won't have to castrate you...'

Even more embarrassed I turned my head to the left refusing eye contact. Then she continued to speak.

"Alas I hope you dare not claim intimacy, we've only just met. Though that deadly weapon in your pants may get you fans with amorous whores, I assure you I cannot simply trust a stranger with whom doesn't share my language. However since you seem to have some decency in you I'll allow you to work off your debt cleanly"

'Madame why would I ever seek amorous whores when I-... wait... did you just say debt?'

"Ah, a charmer and a fast learner. I appreciate your banter, though you may need to fix your priorities. Next time before you try to woo your benefactor into pleasurable bliss perhaps you should ask what it cost to save your life... Though I'm no pauper language stones are not cheap; neither is the time I spent nursing you back to health. Surely you understand that money is required for survival?"

'My name isn't Shirley' *SMACK*

"Witty banter aside please know your place. Though you seem of good character I marked you with a slave seal just in case. After all currently all you have is flesh to repay me, and currently I'm uninterested in taking a pound of it from you for payment. Plus by the time I'm finished with you, you'll only be further in debt. You aren't from this world thus you are but a simple man-child until fully educated and trained. Thankfully I need an assistant and your timing was nigh-impeccable. Now tell me, what is your name?"

'Jordy, madame...'

"No surname? Interesting perhaps you'll be able to educate me some about where you come from as well"

' Well yes, I do have a surname, however since I'm far far from home I'd much rather have yours-..' *SMACK*

"Please enough word games and flattery, I haven't spoken to someone this formal in over a decade. My name is Senia and I'm your new master for the time being Jordy"

and thus my life with Senia began.
