Every bit of Jou's body hurt, all of his nerves were on fire, and there was nothing that could be done about it because Jou was incredibly stubborn. The blond dragon child considered what he had done to be well worth the punishment he was recieving because "master" Keith was still suffering from the rashes.
"That was incredably stupid Jou." Honda said. He had come back to himself in the months that they had been here, but he would never be the same as he had been before watching the group he was with being slaughtered. Jou had found out from Otogi that Honda's younger brother had been in the group and had been the last one that they had killed, and as bad as he felt for his friend, he was still gratefull that his group had hidden in the rocks and hadnt been found. Jou knew he would be in as bad shape as Honda had been in if Shizuka had been killed in front of him.
"Maybe, but it was worth it! Didja see the look on his face when he figured it out?" Jou asked, smiling and laughing through the pain as best as he could. He would Not let Keith break him, and it was a personal vow never to change for that sadistic bastard. As long as he had a sense of humor through it all, Keith would not win and Jou would not have to give him the satisfaction of winning.
"He is probably going to kill you when he tires of all this." Honda said quietly pointing out the logical conclusion of their enslavement.
"He is going to try to, and I have a feeling he will try everything short of actualy taking a dagger and cutting my throat to kill me. But it won’t work Honda. As long as we fight we stand a chance of making it out of this hell alive." Jou said, an almost maniac grin on his face though his golden eyes were deadly serious.
"How do you know Jou? How can you know that he won’t have someone kill you when he finds he cannot break you to his will?" Honda asked, only his voice betraying the fear at loosing somone else.
"Trust me Honda, I know. I ... I Saw it the last time he let me rest, before he looped all of my power into the feedback loop." Jou explained, somwhat nervously. He hadnt been sure of what it was at the time, and deep inside he still doubted it. Seers were very rare among the Solar tribes, only one every dozen generations or so, and even then they might not be identified until long after their magic awakened.
Honda just sighed, and Jou though for a moment that the brunett wouldnt believe him. "Alright Jou, do what you have to, but when you die don’t blame me."
"Of course not," Jou said smiled, and the dark haired summoner just shook his head and turned away. "So what's next on the agenda from our esteemed master?" Jou asked as sarcastically as he could, injecting good humor into his voice.
"Naukerth" (AN1) Honda said fondly. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXX With Shizuka XXXXX
Shizuka was helping Nahara, a seven-year-old little girl from the sakphull clan, gather food when she spotted the travelers in the distance. Not wanting to take any chances, she turned to Nahara and told her, "Go back to the others and tell them to hide, I’m going to see who it is."
The smaller girl nodded and ran back to the caves, carrying a small basket of dead desert rodents and lichens found under some rocks. It wouldn't be nearly enough to feed all of the children but it was the best that they could do, and Shizuka understood that she could go without for a little while so the others would be strong enough to travel. That and two of the smaller ones were sick and needed herbs that Shizuka couldn’t find here, so they would have to leave soon.
Shaking these thoughts from her head, Shizuka moved warily closer to the travelers she had spotted. If they seemed nice enough she could ask them to help her get the children to a settlement nearby or something. Queitly Shizuka snuck up behind the travelers, carefully quiet so they wouldnt know she was there.
There were ten of them, and they all looked worn and travel weary, though they were traveling toward Egypt. This far north, they wouldnt come near what was left of the Solar Tribes camp before hitting the boarders of the eastern country. They all wore dark colors, darker than what Shizuka would have expected in the harsh dessert heat, and the dragon girl wondered why that was, before concentrating on the way they were acting.
Six of them were chained together, in a line, like prisoners or slaves, and Shizuka shuddered invoulantarily.
"Come on, it could have been a lot worse. There are laws where were selling you that will make sure your better taken care of than that wretched place we found you in," On man who wasnt chained said.
"That may be true, but its still fucking slavery," a chained woman said, from near the back of the line.
"Look at it this way toots, all your needs will be cared for by your new masters, and you’re practically guaranteed to survive for more than you would have back there," Another man said.
"Yea, and any kids you have are also guaranteed to survive to adulthood," the first man said, as if he was making a grand point.
"Bastards," The woman said angrily, pulling back and stopping the rest of the slaves from moveing forward.
Shizuka thought about what they had said, her mind raceing as she tried to work through all of the implications of what those people were talking about. Shizuka made her decision as she watched the slavers try to comfort the woman instead of hitting her and makeing her obey them. They seemed greedy, but it didn’t sound like they were lying to their slaves.
Carefully, Shizuka moved to where she was just barely visable to them, from a well hidden perch behind an outcrop of rocks, but where she could also easily jump down. Carefully, Shizuka shifted some rocks that fell down onto the path that the slavers were following, and instantly all of the slavers and a few of the slaves as well were looking toward where she hid. Shizuka let a look of pure terror fill her face before she jumped down from the rocks and ran. When she was sure that at least two of the slavers were following her, she ran back to the cave were the others waited for her.

Jou and Otogi were writhing in pain, as Keith sat triumphantly in his small throne. "You would both do well to learn that I am your Master and can sense when you disobey me." Keith said gloating.
"Yea yea, you bastard, ease off already." Jou ground out, keeping his trademark grin on his face through the pain that wracked his body yet again. To be honest, Jou was becoming quite used to it, and as often as his master fed more and more energy into him it was amazing that his body hadnt burned out yet.
"YOU CUR!!!!" Keith shouted, jumping up and for a several minuts concentrating all of his energy on the blond summoner, as well as kicking him where he lay on the ground. As a result of his anger being concentrated wholy on Jou, his control over Otogi's collar slipped just enough to give the green eyed boy a rest from the pain.
By the time Keith got a hold of himself again, Jou had finaly passed out and Otogi was staring with horror at what the blond man had done to his friend.
"I trust that this will teach you not to try to run off again." Keith said amiably to Otogi. "Get this filth to a healer." Keith said, kicking Jou one last time before turning away as one of his lackeys jumped to obey him.
Otogi followed the brute who hauled his friend away, wishing he hadn’t gotten involved in the escape attempt. Jou had been planning the attempt for two years, and had executed it on his thirteenth birthday five days ago, taking Otogi with him. Honda had refused to come, saying he didn’t want to watch them die too, but had distracted Keith for a little while so they could get out.
Otogi was distracted from his thoughts when a brunet hurricane bowled him over.
"Great gods I was worried about you," Honda said, holding the slightly smaller Riv'vel summoner. "Please dont do that again. Where is Jou?"
"'Master' had him taken to the healers, though knowing him they have instructions not to really heal him but just to make sure that he will survive," Otogi said bitterly, hugging Honda gingerly before pushing the taller boy away. "Come on, let’s go find him so we can take him back to our room when the healer is done." Honda nodded, and followed the slightly younger boy to the healers’ room.
After all it was only a matter of time.
