Being a vampire in these times was rare. Even more rare than that was dragon's blood. Something he was addicted to. Human blood didn't taste as sweet as it once did. Good for the humans but bad for him. To make up for this addiction he bartered with a local merchant who happen to employ personal family and friends to go adventuring and bring back whatever they found. He of course requested dragon's blood and as much as he could get. For a gallon of dragons blood he would trade one perfectly trained slave.<br/><br/>He had two slaves at the moment and was hoping to get two gallons of dragon's blood. One of which had been with him for one day so far and was getting used to being a slave quickly. She showed promise, the other he knew nothing about, having obtained her today. He usually never kept slaves for himself with the exception of extremely perfect slaves. Slaves that went above and beyond what he asked or could ever have asked them to do. He was in the dungeon with his new slave (Cami) he had not told her his name yet but he had told her, her situation.<br/><br/>Slavery was commonplace and masters were cruel as they were common. Slaves were like silver, not worth as much as gold and traded to pay of debts. Many men were killed in recent wars and in such the excess women went into slavery. The most horrible of masters were the ogres. They would tare the slaves apart at the legs almost if they were not careful. He was different though, he was nonchallont and didn't seem to have the lust for them that other masters would have. He gave them a choice when he trained them, obediance or defiance.<br/><br/>His other slaves sat quietly in their own cells. The dungeon was cold and damp due to the snow that melted into the windows and cracks on the celing hinting that above them wasn't the castle but a good three feet of ground. It was the dead of winter and the nights grew cold, the ones who disobayed suffered through the cold nights while most of the ones who obayed were allowed luxeries such as a blanket or even a bed.
