"Over by the river by the rocky cliff. Be careful Ara."

Knore shook a little, straining to sit up. He let out a quick breath and slowly went back down, the pain unbearable.

(UT with Phillip expo... )
Jasper shook his head, putting a hand on Knore's shoulder. "You aren't in any position to get up."

Philip laughed. "Take her away and do as I had asked. Not close enough for me."

Knore took quick breaths, the world starting to fade into view. He moaned again, blinking a few times.

Heidid stared at Philip in horror, speechless, before the men dragged her away. She struggled, but they simply kicked her in the stomach, making Heidi gasp for breath and double over.
"Come on... what is it" Jasper tilted his head, quickly checking the bandages to make sure he hadn't opened any wounds

Arasinya nodded. "Thank you." She took a few steps back. She pet the tail of her necklace, and the dragon came out. Arasinya got on her dragon, Eferno. It used to be her mothers, it was handed down to her. "I'll be back soon." Eferno flew above the trees and quickly to the cliffs. "Grandfather!" Arasinya cried out. She landed Eferno. "Grandfather! I need your help!"

The two guards dragged Heidi back to the stables, her begging not even breaking their stony expressions. Once in the stables one guard held Heidi's shoulders tightly, not even fazed by her struggling. The other grabbed a huge dragon brand. Heidi's eyes widened in horror. It had begun to become populae to brand dragons like cattle, on their flanks- but these brands were much, much bigger. The brand would scar Heidi's entire back. "Let me go!" The gyspsy shouted, flinching away from the guard, but all she was able to do was hold the front of her shirt as the man lifted the back. Heidi's scream echoed throughout the camp as the brand burned into her skin, but the guard didn't draw away until at least fifteen seconds had passed. They dropped her to the ground, and Heidi curled up in the fetal position, sobbing.

Jasper sighed. "You got stabbed. Of course you're hurting."

Knore thought back to when he wanted to feel pain, when it was so easy to get over. When he wanted to be human.
(Murgh...mom's telling me to get off. I'll check up a couple times, but I won't be to active.)

(Bye expo :c )
She sobbed, the pain almost unbearable. The brand was the sign of the Eastern army, a sign that she belonged to them. Shame filled Heidi's heart, and she shielded her face from the guards.

Soon, Arasinya and her grandfather were back. They got off Eferno, walked over to Knore, and right away, her grandfather knew. "Oh dear. He's a daedric prince and... he's mortal. The only one who could've done this is..." He nodded. "Well... this is not good... It was Alkahishe. He's extremely dangerous and powerful. If he finds that this young man is still alive, and that he's here, under our protection, it puts us in danger. All of us."

They branded Heidi three more times. Once on each ankle, as Phillip had instructed them to, and the once more on the shoulder after Heidi kickes one of the guards. By now she was only semi-conscious, dark strands of hair falling out of her bun and into her face. Heidi's head was ducked, and exhaustion made her shoulders sag. "That'll do it." One of the guards said smugly, dusting off his hands with a smirk. They tied Heidi up by the ankles- right on the branded area, just out of spite- and attatched it to the gate like the horses, before leaving her in the stables, finding it fitting.

Knore moaned again. He wanted water and food. He wanted to feel like he was in control again.

"Get this boy some water!" He turned to his granddaughter. "Arasinya, I want you to take this young man far away from the spot you found him at. Protect him from Alkahishe, for we cannot. Not in these woods. Promise me."
"I promise Grandfather." She wrapped her arms around him, then pulled away. A young elf gave Knore some water.

Heidi had to stoop, lowering her head in order to reach the pouch around her neck with her bound hands. She remembered the elf, who had given her the hair, and now seemed as good a time as ever for Heidi to use it. Quicky pulling out the hair, the gypsy pulled at both ends, struggling tk do it with her hands tied but eventually managing. It snapped quietly, and Heidi whispered "Please help..." almost instinctively.

Arasinya gasped. "Grandfather... Someone's in danger."
"This boy's in danger!" The grandfather said.
"Grandpa, I owe this person a debt. She's in the hands of the East."
"Go now!" Her grandfather said. Arasinya lept on Setho. "NORO LIM!" She shouted. Setho ran as fast as he could. Once, Arasinya was close enough, she stopped her horse and jumped off. She took the veil off of her face and approached the guard, Setho followed her. "Sir, I have to use the stables here for the night. My horse needs food and water."

Knore drank it down quickly. 'More.' he mouthed.

"Not allowed." He huffed. It was one of the guards who had branded Heidi earlier.
Heidi had curled up in the corner, in too much pain to sleep yet too exhausted to move. Her back burned, and every tiny shift sent a stab of pain down the gypsy's back. The rope at her ankles rubbed against the raw skin, causing tears to spot in the corners of her eyes. In the shadows, she was hidden from view.
