Cain nods and replies; "That case, summon your master to my tent so we can get registry process going for the adventurer company and get him informed on the situation. As now it's confirmed who will own Alana we can get begin the binding ritual. Master Hiroshi, stand up and come to stand besides Alana, Alana, you stand up as well."<br/><br/>Once both are in positions he says; "Now you both will display characther sheets to each other, I serve as middle man here complete the binding process. Both of you, raise your hands up." Once done he coughs and then chants with calm but clear voice as his own hand, palms down, faces both their hands; "I beckon the spirits of this world, by grace of the five, show me what's veiled in thy hearts." He did the same chant what everyone knows, beckoning spirits of world regards to feys and grace of five indicates the five goddesses who brought the blessed heroes to the world ages ago. Once chant completed, able done by anyone who just knows it, conjures the both Hiroshi's and Alana's characther sheets and displayed towards each other. Everything normal so far as others have experienced. Mephis only knows the follow up part and remembers when it was done to her.<br/><br/>Cain then exhales and inhales deeply as his entire demeanor changed into more commandeering, bit intimidating as well as he spoke more loudly in commanding voice;<em>"As by my right as chain master, I, Cain Nyrood, merchant lord rank 972 in Guild, invoke my power bind these two as master and slave now and to forever until to grave by grace of Malagor!"</em>This incantation is clearly more personal and involved, something which not just anyone can do as Cain included not just his name but his exact guild information as part of the chanting. But it's public secret that Malagor clearly is force behind allowing and empowering the process.<br/><br/>Cain touches first Hiroshi's characther sheet first, a blue tendril comes out and Hiroshi feels palm of his hand tingle...feeling holding a invisible chain. He then touches Alana's sheet, a red tendril emerges and Alana can feel sensation of invisible collar around her neck tugged by Cain as he drags her tendril out. Then slowly and carefully Cain connects the tendrils together. As connection occurs, there is flash of green light and Alana feels her knees buckle which forces her down on her knees, lost all strenght briefly her legs as well her body flaring as if sudden heat. While Hitoshi feels heat only at palm of his hand holding the chain but it quickly cools off and he feels briefly stronger. Invigorated even.<br/><br/>Once Alana collapsed to knees, her strenght quickly returns but now in her charachter sheet read in her status no more as freewoman, but as slave owned by Hitoshi. Cain claps his hands together and says; "Okay, transaction is complete. Congrulations master Hiroshi for your purchase, Alana no doubt will be both useful and pleasure to own. As agreed I will give you lesser healing potions and hundred gold each, which you can spend on my caravan wares as you see fit to gear and prepare for venture ahead. I will summon Katarina to be ready for departure soon as you are ready. As I mentioned I will stay around two days in this spot and after that start get moving, but if succesful Katarina will help you catch up to me easily." Turning to Muula he adds; "What Alana told the bugbears are not in village anymore, they struck during tonight and left. What following their past patterns they may be still in area but likely plan move out soon. But they got some women so I hold prayer to Zatash they could not wait to enjoy their spoils and thus haven't gone far yet. But you need indeed hurry if have higher chance and hopes catch them, probably offguard as well."
