Daire stood in the middle of the room, head and shoulders above almost everyone else there.<em>Where the hell am I?  I am surrounded by half naked slaves and some noble dogs?  Surely the Dominus has not sent me to get laid in some whore house after killing that Egyptian bitch of trainer.  What a useless fuck he was.  Maybe he sold me like he sold Serra, but this does not look like a Ludus.</em><br/><br/>Looking around further he takes it all in, the nobleman as he drips venom from his tongue for the slave girls that spoke, the slave girl that is led to one of the recessed areas around the training yard, the slave girl that speaks out of turn, practically asking for the lash.<br/><br/><em>Arianna; that is the name the waif said when she called my name.  Who is she then?  Well when she decides she wants to talk to me she’ll come to me. Let her look upon me and know that I am not a man to be broken, not a man to be claimed… I am a man to be feared.</em><br/><br/>Now he notices a woman who almost materialized from the shadows and gliding towards him,<em>Hmmm, is that her?  A fine fuck she’ll be then.</em><br/><br/>Speaking to no one in particular, but noting that the woman slinking from the shadows was closer he looked in her general direction, he stated in his rough spoken voice,<br/><br/>Where is the Dominus?  I would speak with him to know what he wants of me.  If I am to fight for him and this pitiful school I will need to know who is to be the trainer.<br/>
