<strong>Day 1 - Noon</strong><br/><br/>The man holding the shackles behind her was licking his lips, enjoying the view of her shapely buttocks offered him, that was until he was taken by complete surprised when the girl suddenly whipped into action, throwing a surprise punch at his throat, stunning him and with such lightning speed, she cracked the man's neck bone instantly killing him in just three moves. The merchant sitting on the couch of his wagon was wide-eyed surprise, he is now seriously contemplating that this might be a trap somehow, no ordinary girl or slave could pull off such a stunt except for a well-trained warrior. However, the other slavers next to the dead one was already prepared for this, they were quick to move in from behind her and lunged towards her, she did go down while fighting though, landing several random blows but nothing that hurts the slavers too much. Before long, Nicky found herself down on her face with her arms and legs pinned by the other three slavers.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d25/Deathbringer6679/5e696ca4-8deb-4a15-94e5-deb19e99171c.jpg:original)</div><strong>"Well, that's quite a stunt you pulled there girl"</strong>, the merchant commented. One of the slavers dared himself to lower his head down to Nicky's naked back, he slips out his tongue and licks along her white skin neck, and then sniffing her perfume.<strong>"I'm inclined to almost believed that this might be trap yes? that this is a ruse by the militia or some bandit gang nearby? but since none of your buddies showed up I guess you were really alone out here aren't you?"</strong>, the merchant laughs out loud, followed by the laughter of the remaining three slavers.<br/><br/>Nicky's fate seems sealed, to be chained up by a group of slavers, to have her naked body toyed with until she reaches the slave pen in the nearby settlement and to have her life taken from her, all her rights and freedom given to the highest bidder in the slave market. The men around her were barely containing their lusts at such a shapely figure of the girl, so despite the temptation to ravish her naked form, they fear angering their leader, or master sitting so mightily with a smug face on the cart looking down on the pleasing sight before him. One of the slaver pinning her down quickly brought her back up on her feet and placing his giant arm around her neck, gripping her from behind.<br/><br/>However, this isn't to be. As the slavers around her closing in on her, some of them hungrily ogling her naked form while others playing with the cuffs given to them, a voice was heard from the distant, or rather a battle cry. Though faint at first, it became much clearer and louder fast, which means whoever it was, he or she is approaching Nicky and the slavers at a rapid pace. The men were stopped dead in their track due to the newcomer, their gazes turns from the naked girl to the a woman riding down on them with a brown steed.<br/><br/>The battle cry comes from a woman, red haired with tanned skin. She donned what appears to be scalemail bikini and a fur cape on her back. The fiery red-haired woman immediately jumps down from her horse a few feet away from Nicky, the men were still stunned by the newcomer were unprepared when she suddenly pulls out a halberd from the sheathe attached by the side of the horse she was riding. The woman ran and then jumps towards one of the slaver holding a club in his hand, despite the slaver being able to lift his club in time to parry the halberd coming down on him, it proves to be futile as it smashed through so easily and the sharp axe attached at the end of the halberd haft lies buried deep into the man's skull. Blood flows through the wound before she pulls it off of the dead man's face and the body crumples down to the ground.<br/><br/><strong>"What the-?!"</strong>, there was an expression of pure shock on the merchant's face, the smugness now replaced with that of disbelief and surprise as he watched one of his men lies dead and bloodied on the ground.<strong>"Kill her!"</strong>, the other slavers responded quickly to the order and began to surround her, except for the one slaver that's now holding Nicky in his arms but that too didn't last long either.<br/><br/>The brazen red haired woman, suddenly took out a small knife tucked away by her side in her leather waistbelt and without warning, she threw it straight towards Nicky. However, she struck with such precision that it misses the girl by a mere inch and struck the man holding her on his widely exposed shoulder. Loosening the grip on her, the man fell back and groaning in agony, letting loose his griplock on Nicky.<strong>"You, get behind me quick!"</strong>, the woman's rough voice calls out to Nicky, urging the young innocent girl to stand behind her for protection.
