Studying the books and maps He'd had- she picked her way across the hills to the vast open stretch to find the stronger warmth of the sun. She went there to find a home for herself .. only to be caught and enslaved again. By the Kassar named Mezad. Taken to His camp where he ripped her old collar off and placed His about her neck.
All she'd had was His now, as she herself was.

Now she would learn what it meant to be a slave on the plains, a Kassar slave.
***********************************************************
The slave was alone again upon the plains of Turia. Left alone with those Outriders and her missing Master's things. She went to the only home that she had found peace with. She had brought herself and her two sleen, taking nothing else from one Master's camp to another. To the Other, to whom she had been promised if something befell Him.
She went to Master Uhtred, begged His collar .. He then removed the collar of Master Mezad and placed His own about her neck. She would forever be a Kassar slave.
