ruefully, when he had said that sleep likely would not come this
night.<br><br>

ALL: The he in question was the Man named Marcus Lycus. The Man
who was now her Master, the Man who owned her. The result of a
wager, one entered into impulsively, without thought, a trap
that she had stepped into headfirst, one laid not by him but by
her own hubris, an ihn's rashness and pride that she would now
have the rest of her days to reflect upon, one that had cost her
all that she had fought for, her station, her freedom, her name.
She had found herself in position where she had gambled
unwisely. And had lost.<br><br>

ALL: But the part that frustrated her the most as she lay naked
in the straw in a slave kennel deep in the bowels of a now still
House was not that she had lost, frustrating though that may be.
But what displeased her more was how close she had come to
winning. Victory had been practically within her grasp in the
opening phases of the game. In moments that she had replayed in
her mind over and over and over again after the barred gate that
was the kennel door had been closed and locked she had reflected
upon the very first moves taken, when she had accepted the
Ubara's gambit, for she was sure that had she declined it and
went in different direction she would now be asleep in
comfortable bed in the floors above, a Guest of the House of
Lycus, under its protection. But she had not played the game as
she now thought that she should have, she had played it as she
had. And so the nature of her stay within this House and the
protection that it afforded her were very different to what they
might have been.<br><br>

ALL: The stakes had been clear, very clear, such that neither
player could claim they had misunderstood. She had gambled and
lost. And so the protection that she would enjoy was the collar
locked around her throat, the brand that was to come. Ydril ze
Omun was no more. In her place was the slave girl Yana.<br><br>

ALL: One life was over. Another had begun. The blonde wondered
how much the iron would hurt when it kissed her thigh. She
doubted that it would be as bad as having her belly sliced open
with a knife. The iron would bring finality, a restating of the
fact that events that were now in motion could not be reversed.
The last chance for that had been the conversation that had
taken place moments before she had entered the Circle, that
conversation seared into her memory just as much as the brand
would be seared into her flesh.<br><br>

ALL: She lay back in the straw, closed her eyes. Come the dawn
it would be done. She would in branded. To hope for anything
less, to cling to notion that this was a cruel joke on the
Slaver's part and that in the morning he might remove the collar
and set her free was foolish. She had made the wager of her own
free will. Now she must accept its consequences.
