Dragon moved threw the area, he was looking at what there was. Few got where he was with out being a slave owner, he got in as he always did a treat to kill the one that did not let him pass did well. The guards that had been there, thought to grab him tell a commander said something about who he was. After that it had been easy moving we he willed, something that came with the price of old deeds.
He was looking around when he saw something that he was not happy with, slave sales. He was not one found of such sales but, at times he could free one that had not done any wrong. He approached to see what he could find out.

Labyrinth felt the pain in her head first before anything else. Opening her eyes slowly she immediately regretted it, the light that hit her eyes even as dim as it was hurt. Trying to sit up she became aware of the painful stiffness in her body. The last she remembered she had been sitting with a young boy healing his wounds. Squinting she made out the forms of other people lying on their sides, sitting with their backs against wooden beams, and or huddled close together. Where am I? Attempting to sit up brought a jolt of pain to her ankle, looking down she saw that she was shackled to a similar wooden post. –Where the hell am I?- She tried undoing the restraint only to hiss when the steel bit into her already chaffed and bleeding ankle.
Lifting her head she saw someone sitting close by, “Where are we?” The person looked at her before turning his back. “Thanks. Big help you’ve been, mate!” She snapped. Looking around she saw some guards standing beyond the fence. Rin knew calling attention to herself was the worst thing to do but she had never been someone to wait around. Keeping her voice low she turned to her left and tried with the woman sitting next to her, “Oy, miss, where are we?”
“Where do you think we are, soldier?” The way she said soldier made her flinch involuntarily. “We’re in a slaver’s market.” The truth of her statement made her stomach drop. –A slaver’s market. How’d she get here?- Slowly everything fell into place…the little boy! It had been a trick!

Dragon moved closer as he looked at the slaves, yes he was not wrong he knew that person any where. He moved over to a slave dealer as he spoke with them, he was asking how much one of the slaves was. When it was asked what one, he spoke as well as pointed to Labyrinth as he waited to see what the man wanted for Labyrinth.

Labyrinth looked up and groaned -Not him!- She tried to move behind the post to hide herself from his view only to realize it was too late. He had seen her. She watched horrified as the man who had carried her out of the Dark Inn, tried to keep her against her will, and followed her while riding his dragon appraoched a slave dealer. When he pointed at her she fell back against the pole defeated. He was going to buy her and there was nothing she could do about it. No, not nothing! She would escape in the first opportunity and get back to Roland, to the Hunter, to Rhys and her family.

Dragon & the slave dealer spoke a bit longer as the argued over a price, after a bit it appeared they came to an agree meant. Dragon he not only got Labyrinth, even with him knowing she would fight him tooth & nail.
He have learned about some of the other slaves that where there, there had been a few mother with children, as well as fathers. It was not unheard of for men in such a place as this to buy them, children could be tough & later sold & the mothers made good maids & many other things. The fathers did well for guests that the master had.
The slave dealer said he would deliver the slaves if he wanted but dragon simply refused he knew all to well what could happing to slaves after being bought & delivered. He would use other methods of getting them where he needed them.
Dragon said he would come to get them when he was finished, it did not take him long he knew who he looked for one that always ways here. A saint in many ways to people here, just many did not know it tell they left.
He found him & there was a business deal mad, as it always had to be in such places. One did not show compassion in such places, he nodded before taking the money Dragon offered.
With this done Dragon returned for the slaves, he knew that his friend could take them in a prison wagon, any thing less would be seen a suspicious. The slave dealer moved to get Dragon the slaves he asked for, before moving them into the slave wagon to be moved.

Labyrinth watched as the two men finished their dealings with annoyance. However when the man they called the Dragon left she relaxed, maybe he hadn’t bought her. Using the time she looked around at the other captives: children, mothers, fathers, young girls and boys, criminals.
Her state of calm didn’t last long when she saw the Dragon return. Seeing the guards come toward her and some other prisoners she tried edging away. The man bent and yanked her ankle bound shackle making her cry out in pain. “That hurt, you brute!” The man slapped her painfully across the face before telling her to shut up. Glaring she cursed him, which only resulted in him pulling on her chain. Standing her up the brute dragged her along with some others toward the gate where the Dragon stood waiting.

Dragons eyes narrowed in the one mans actions with the slaves he bought, he did well to show it to the man when he got close. His hand slapped across the mans face, a had blow that cut a light mark over his cheek. The man feel to the ground from the blow, he grabbed him off of it as he drew him up to be eye to eye with him. "Let me make this very clear, you ever touch my property in such a way again or treat them in such a manor, death with be a heaven to what I will do to you" His grip tightened on the man "Do I make my self clear?"
The man trembled, he nodded at dragons words saying he would not do it again. Dragon content at the moment with the mans, words the drop & threw him to the group, he then looked at the other men who helped. They appeared to get the message as well & did well not anger him. They lead all the slaves to the wagon & started to load them.

Labyrinth smiled smugly at the hit the Dragon dealt the brute. However the smiled faded only to be replaced by an icy glare, “I’m not your property!” she hissed furiously. When the men started filing them toward the wagon she dug in her heels refusing to move, “I won’t be bought by some…by some...by you!” This only got her to be picked up and put in the wagon. It had been the brute who picked her up and before he let her go she whispered in his ear, “I swear to you, I’ll come back and it’ll be your head I come for!” When the man made sure the Dragon wasn’t looking he pushed her away from him, “And I swear to you, little soldier, I’ll have you for myself.” Before she could reply with a series of ‘polite’ words he closed the wagon door in her face.

Soon they where moving, Dragon had moved to get his horse before fallowing. There where still those that could try something & he was not about to let it happing. He keep his eyes & ears open as they moved, he knew his dragon was close he could feel it but, for know he did not call him. He would it he need to, it would take them a few days to get to his home & he wished to get there as soon as he could.
Dragon they traveled for a long time well into the day, as it started to turn dark & would become cold. Dragon had them stop to rest, the one that had driven the cart handed out blankets, food & water to the slaves. He then one by one took off there chains to tend to there wounds & cuts, before warping the injury.
Dragon moved to Labyrinth, where he moved to do the same as the other man. Some might see this as compassion other, would see it as simply profit.

As they stopped to rest she climbed out of the wagon and stretched painfully. When the man who had driven them gave them water, blankets and food she thanked him with a smile. However when the Dragon came toward her she backed away, “I’ll do it thank you.” She held out her hand for the key to unlock her own binding.

He saw her back away, for a moment he though to tell he the truth of who he was but, held back. He crossed his arms over his chest as he looked at her "I think not, I do that I you will run" The other man watched them, seeing they where both being stubborn. Perhaps he should of told her that it was his orders to do the good things but, not Dragon wish to keep it that he was cruel & heartless. And to many he could still be, the man keep to his work not saying a word

She glared at him, “Fine, then I’ll stay in the shackles until you’re man unlocks them himself or you give me the key. You are not getting anywhere near me this time!” Crossing her own arms over her chest, “Why did you buy me?” she demanded.

Well she still was a spit fire even know, at her words of not getting close he approached her. Knowing well that with the chains on there was very light she could do to stop him "Really, appears that I can get close... again" At her question he spoke "Why not? There are many that, would pay 3 or more times what I did" He knew he would sound cold & once she leaned the truth of who he was, he only prayed that she would see it as his way to keep her safe & not that he meant his words.

She attempted kicking him but the movement made the shackle bite deep into her bleeding ankle. Swallowing the shout of pain she satisfied herself with glaring at him, -If only looks could kill!- She thought fiercely. “So you bought me at the lowest price? How very flattering!” Seeing him move closer she stepped back, her back hitting the wagon. “Stay. Away. From. Me! You over confidant thug!”

He did not he simple moved closer "A thug I might be but, I would of payed any price to have you" He knew his next move could end up being one he regretted, but he felt his other side wish to do it. He moved to kneel before her before gently, releasing her from her chains. He watched her, wanting to see what she would do other then perhaps kill him.
To Labyrinth this like looked like he was trying to seduce her.
