       [ The Sardar Fair . Side Street ]
       -Wandering along a street of hard packed earth. Each is named
       for the castes which occupy these streets. For instance the
       Street of Coins, Street of Pottery and so on...-
       says to ALL: The order placed with Grainne, including picking
       out the varied fabrics and her word that it would be ready
       before the end of the Fair, I was left with time for other
       things. My Mistress was quite benevolent during the Fair,
       allowing us to enjoy the spectacle it always was as long as any
       chores she’d delegated earlier were finished first. That was
       easily enough done and the remainder of the time was devoted to
       enjoying the delights the Fair had to offer.
       I always enjoyed the juggling troupe and the gifted
       story-tellers. Their tales were colourful and exciting. When I
       was still new to my slavery, I imagined I could have a life like
       that of the richly, painted characters in the stories. I was
       very young, and it was an absurd notion, but I still delighted
       in it and the Slaver, Athir, didn’t even mind my listening or
       imagining. He believed that a vibrant imagination was a vital
       necessity to the specifics of my slavery and I can’t disagree
       that it was, having found that it lent to a creativity that I
       ought not would have.

       -At the Amphitheater along the edges of the Fair precinct, a
       large sloping semicircular complex where in paying spectators
       can observe kaissa matches, poet readings, pageants, song dramas
       and other performances...-
       says to ALL: The streets were mine, in a metaphorical sense, of
       course and I weaved through the main streets and the alley ways,
       a lightness of foot that had been ingrained in me over the
       course of a thousand ahns of training. There was little that I
       could not traverse in near-silence, though someone with keen
       hearing could always trump my stealth and possibly notice me.
       I’d been caught more than once, and it always seemed to me it
       was those you’d never expect. I could only assume that it was a
       failure on my part, neglecting to take care over some creaky,
       wooden planking. Too, there were those among us who might not
       appear as they truly are, and taking for granted that a merchant
       is only a merchant, can lead to downfall as well. Today, I was
       as agile, light and quiet as ever even with the kirtle, which is
       not something I ever wore even when I served North. The majority
       of my owners preferred leather and sheer silks and my tabuk
       boots which were supple enough to allow for running and quiet
       enough so I could run across the roof-tops and not be heard. But
       there was no roof-top-running tonight, only a game of shadow
       dancing as I prowled through the Fair.
       Beneath the brightness of Tor-tu-Gor, a woman stood within the
       embrace of the Amphitheatre. There were many sitting in the
       stands, watching and listening as she weaved her tale for the
       crowd. Slaves who could not gain entrance without the escort of
       a Master or Mistress, stood towards the back, but were as
       riveted on the woman as the crowd. She was tall, lithe and
       garbed in flowing robes as she sat on a high stool. Glittering
       strands of her bejeweled hair was hidden from the prying eyes of
       the audience, beneath a swath of silk that also covered her face
       below the eyes and was caught in a sparkling, purple gem just at
       her cheekbone. Her voice was mellifluous with an unmistakable
       accent of the desert and she seemed to have the audience
       bewitched at the first syllable.

       says to ALL: She began:
       “There once was a storyteller who hailed from Argentum. She was
       of simple stock; her mother and father owning a bakery in the
       city and it was fully expected that she would follow the family
       business. But she wanted more, and when she came of age, she
       left to pursue a dream which her family felt would leave her
       destitute.” The storyteller paused to allow her bewitching gaze
       to fall on the audience and continued.
       “As it happens, the storyteller’s dreams did come true and far
       and wide, people knew her name. Agrafina. It was not her birth
       name, but her birth name was just not grande enough for the
       stories she told. Along with her notoriety, came wealth. She had
       riches her family never, ever dreamed of and she purchased a new
       baker shop for her parents along with a new home in the city,
       taking care of them. But as stories go, the heroine character
       must overcome some struggle and out-smart a villain.” Another
       pause as the audience look on, captivated.
       “On her way to the great, city of Ar, Agrafina’s caravan was
       set upon by Mercenaries. They killed her would-be protectors and
       captured the Lady, not knowing initially, who she was. She was
       brought to the leader of this Mercenary, a man named Dak’ven,
       immediately knew who she was and laughed.” Her voice dropped as
       she took on this new role.
       “The infamous storyteller of Argentum. This is a fortuitous day.
       How much do you think I can get in ransom for such a pretty
       flower?” Agrafina knew better than to say anything just yet.
       Instead, studying the man before her and gauging her options. To
       her horror, she found the man striking, strong and handsome and
       felt the flutter of desire deep in her belly that she was quick
       to squash. Or at least, she thought she did. When she was
       permitted to speak, she offered this:
       “Sir, you are right. You could collect quite the ransom for me
       as I am beloved by the people. This is not vain, but simple
       truth. I am the center of attraction at the Fairs and I am often
       called upon to visit Magistrates and Ubars for festivals and
       name-days. But, instead, I ask you to give me three hands. Three
       hands where I will regale you with such stories that you will
       understand why they love me and…you will, instead free me. And
       I, will offer you an award for keeping me safe from the
       cut-throats, who killed my men and nearly killed me.” Dak’ven
       looked at her at then, looked at his men who were chuckling
       amongst themselves.
       “You think I will be so easily smitten with your stories, do
       you? Alright, I agree to these terms. Your first story will
       begin tonight and we shall see.”

       and other performances...-
       says to ALL: Agrafina was kept as a captive of honour in
       Dak’ven’s tent and was afforded the comforts of such. He never
       did anything untoward and every night listened to her stories
       with rapt attention. However, after the first hand, Agrafina had
       no idea how he felt. There was little in the way of expression
       in his face and she worried, deep in the pit of her stomach.
       The second hand she stepped up her game. Her stories of faraway
       places and terribly smart, men who used both their cleverness,
       treachery and magic to get what they wanted. There were sword
       fights and wild escapes and slave girls who fell at the feet of
       these strong men with utter devotion. This second hand she saw
       something. A flicker in his eyes as he looked at her. It was a
       look that made her catch her breath. A look that she never
       received from a man and she was unsure if it was the stories or
       herself.
       Thus, began the third hand. Something shifting between them. Her
       stories were no less as exciting, but this time, featured more
       center-stage, was a love story between two, unlikely people. As
       the end of the hand neared, the story became more intense and on
       the last day she brought him the tea he favoured and made sure
       he was comfortable. Her delicate hand grazing his just before
       she stepped back and his darting upwards, watching her keenly.
       “This story will be unlike anything you have heard these past
       three weeks, Sir. It is a story of desire, deeper than the
       deepest well and where the two main characters are
       star-cross’d.” She shared the tale and watched as this strong
       man caved. His eyes shining with un-shed tears. But before the
       dance concluded, her main character danced beneath the moon for
       a love she could never have and Agrafina danced for her captor.
       The dance was not that of a slave, but a Free woman, however, it
       was filled with all the emotion and love that as lave might show
       her Master. At the end of her dance she knelt modestly before
       him and felt as he placed his hand on her head.

       says to ALL:
       “You have won your freedom, Agrafina. You have bewildered me
       these last hands and I would never think myself so overcome with
       emotion at a simple tale, but your stories are not simple, are
       they?” He smiled, surprisingly kindly. “You will be granted safe
       passage from my encampment. You will be returned with honour to
       your homestone.” He would have said more but, Agrafina did not
       allow him to finish. Instead, she lowered her head demurely, her
       arms rising above her bowed head and crossing them at the wrist.
       Dak’ven sat there unsure if this was part of her story, then
       lifting her chin gently to see her blue eyes brimming with tears
       and he smiled. Somehow, the unlikely two had discovered
       something else. He caught her up in his arms, kissing her deeply
       and proclaiming in a hushed voice against her lips. “Mine.”
       And thus concluded the tale of the Storyteller, to a resounding
       cheer from those listening with men pounding their closed fist
       to their chest and slaves cheering. The Storyteller gracefully
       making her way off the stage.

       -[moving through the market's streets]-
       says to ALL: I was left slightly intoxicated, after listening to
       the storyteller. Truth-be-told, it wasn’t just with her skills
       as storyteller, but with everything I could not see. I knew
       enough about storytellers to know that many employed certain
       theatrical devices by which to captivate their listeners even
       more. Some, used props. I knew of another storyteller who wowed
       the crowd when, at the pinnacle of her story, used smoke to
       obscure herself from view and when the audience saw her again,
       she was wearing skirts that were embellished with sequence that
       made her look as though she was set aflame and, on another
       pirouette,, she stretched feathered arms out and soared about
       the stage. Storytelling, was as diverse in telling as those
       telling the stories. It was expected that some were regional,
       others fantastical with sets and props and others, rarer, a
       singular person who could captivate their audience with their
       voice and in her case, keeping her face hidden below her eyes.
       Employing my skillset, I set out to find out who she was and if
       she would be performing again before the Fair concluded. Most of
       the afternoon was spent in this exploit, when at last, a young
       girl heard me questioning the leather worker and laughed in
       delight. She could not have yet reached womanhood but I afforded
       her the same respect I would have to any free woman and knelt
       demurely. Her keen, brown eyes watched me and she giggled again.
       “Her name is Makatza, slave girl. I am told she is of the desert
       people. “ She moved closer to me and would lift a swath of my
       dark strands. “It is said she is not free. That a curse was set
       upon her after opening a scroll and she must wander the lands
       and tell stories…forever-” I was raptly listening when the
       girls’ mother tugged her by the arm and snorted at her.
       “Stop telling the slave silly stories, daughter.” She pulled her
       onward along the street and all the while the girl looked back
       at me, brown eyes glittering. Even if it was some fanciful thing
       the girl had conjured, it had piqued my interest and regardless,
       I had my name. Makatza.

       says to ALL: Already, my imagination was running wild. I was
       conjuring sultry, desert sands sentient scrolls that had the
       ability to enslave someone, because if what the young, girl said
       was truth, it sounded very much like Makatza was enslaved. I
       found it interesting that the girl did not seem to think it a
       ‘silly story,’ as her mother clearly did. Instead, it was clear
       that she was enraptured by it and I thought that if it were
       true, I would be ill-at-ease with such knowledge. Of course, the
       girl and I came from two different worlds- mine, where I’d known
       the fear and intimacy of slavery and hers, where any thoughts of
       slavery, with her cast the part of slave was pure fantasy. I
       supposed that to think there was an inanimate object, like that
       of a scroll, who could possess such power to enslave me for
       countless ages, was frightening.
       There was, however, the obstacle of immortality itself in how it
       pertains to a woman. Meaning, according to the Initiates, the
       only ones who could attain immortality were men, as the logical
       order of things dictates. I was not a man, and I was a slave, so
       I could not obtain immortality. But if Makatza was enslaved, how
       could she be cursed with this immortality to tell these tales
       forever? It was a puzzle and I liked puzzles. And, I had a habit
       of tinkering with puzzles until I unraveled them. It was the
       nature of my training.
       I hadn’t realised I’d been standing there for so long. Long
       enough that I was not aware I was being watched. It wasn’t
       something I saw, but something I felt. I turned then, deftly on
       my toes and turned my head so I could catch a glimpse of who it
       was. I was just in time to see a whirl of blue, and the flash of
       a purple gem. I knew it was Makatza, but it would not be in my
       best interest to dart after a Free woman through the Fair. But I
       was agile and quick and to my benefit, I was stealthy. Stealthy
       enough where she would not notice me following and no one else
       would think it either.

       booths and stalls --
       says to ALL: Makatza was still on my mind. I had managed to
       follow her until she vanished in the Caste Pavilion’s, and while
       I had lingered, making myself appear busy, she never came out.
       It was my suspicion that she likely knew I was following her,
       despite the care I took. Regardless, the opportunity was gone
       and I would have to try and start from the beginning tomorrow.
       I could see the Central Tent just beyond and wondered if she
       might be in there. But I doubted it. She was as elusive a
       creature as I’d ever known and someone like that would likely
       have a slave bring them meals and if she was in fact a slave,
       then her Owner, who was parading her around as free would make
       sure no one saw her beyond the Amphitheatre where she told her
       stories.
       I was standing there thinking, fingers tugging on the twisted
       strands of coal when I felt a bump against my back and turned
       sharply. A girl, as young as the one who had told me about
       Makatza, stood there with a grin and folded piece of rence. She
       handed it to me and ran, back the way she came. When I could no
       longer see her I opened the note carefully and saw elegant,
       Taharic script: “Tomorrow, at dawn. The Amphitheatre. -M” That
       was it. I folded the note and as I walked by a bin I ripped it
       up and sprinkled it within.

       says to ALL: It was dawn, and I was standing here at the
       Amphitheatre as the note I received indicated me to do. The
       Amphitheatre stood behind me, empty; cavernous with the empty
       seats. Lar-Torvis was peeking over the shell and the air was
       still chill, without the warmth of light over the Fair grounds.
       I was anxious and my gut was warning me this was some kind of
       trick, but I told my gut that it hadn’t been exactly spot-on,
       these last few years, and perhaps it should leave my fate in the
       hands of my brain. I had a lot more confidence in it right now.
       At just that moment, I heard the rustle of a feminine body
       moving and turned my head to see Makatza. She was even more
       stunning standing there before me. She was robed in vivid, green
       with her raven, hair bejeweled, but also covered and her face
       covered as before, her eyes only visible with a purple stone
       pinned to her left cheek.
       “Makatza?” I spoke her name in a breathless way, as though my
       tongue was not pure enough to speak it. She laughed softly, the
       sound like the softest of larl pelts caressing my body. I felt
       my insides quiver and my cheeks blush.
       “Makatza, is a name given to me by my Owner, and by the people.
       In an ancient tongue, not of our world, it means wild and
       untamed. When he found me, I was wild and untamed and headstrong
       and undeserving of my life.” She smiled softly, “Come. Sit. I
       will share with you the story of my life.”

       says to ALL: It must have been pretty evident that I was in
       disbelief, because she laughed again, that sound dancing from
       the nape of my neck downward, leaving me tingled and shivers of
       delight.
       ”You are wondering why, dagger? Slave of Na’im Athir, who was
       born of the Tahari, Oasis of the Nine Wells, to be specific and
       adopted by Port Kar?” She simply smiled, but said nothing else
       and did not give me time to reply, instead, diving into her tale
       as any good storyteller would.
       “I was born into the House of the Nine Wells, to a prominent
       family and was promised to Sulieman as a child. My name was
       Aiyanna. I was privileged and beautiful, I thought because I was
       such a sought-after woman that I could use whatever was at my
       disposal to get what I want.” She paused, but it was not for
       story effect. She looked at me, her dark eyes gone soft,
       glittery and she smiled. “When I reached the age of majority, my
       parents informed me that I was promised to Sulieman. This should
       have been a great honour for me, but instead, I was outraged. I
       realised my entire life I was just a pawn. A pawn to my parents
       and a pawn for Sulieman and a pawn for many of the male suitors
       because despite my beauty, it came down to alliances. So, I ran
       away.” There was humour in her eyes as I could not see her face.
       “I did not understand how life was for other people. Everything
       was given to me. I did not realise how tenuous my freedom was,
       because I was protected my entire life. I was cherished. I
       demanded things from people along the way. I was wicked and
       cruel. I ended up in lands held by Kavars. It was a miracle I
       made it that far, but I did not understand the politics between
       our people and I was immediately detained by the High Pasha’s
       vizier, Baram, the Sheik of Bezhad.” I was lost in her words.
       Watching her intently, that sea of green as tumultuous as ever.
       “It could have been worse. I was treated like royalty and like
       the stupid young woman I was, I never thought any harm would
       befall me. I was allowed the privilege of walking through the
       Oasis palace, and more importantly the library. I read
       proficiently and I read voraciously. The only rule of Haroun,
       the High Pasha, was that I was not permitted to go into a
       special, artifact room. It was his personal collection and he
       prized it.” She laughed and I was reduced to shivers. “Can you
       guess what I did, dagger?” She looked at me and I murmured
       softly.
       “You went into his collection room, Mistress.” she smiled and
       shook her head. “Do not call me Mistress here. We are equals, at
       the moment. But, yes, I did.” she continued. “I learned I was
       not only well read and clever, but I could pick locks with
       proficiency. I went into the room in the dead of night and began
       to devour everything I could. But, within this locked room,
       there was a locked box. It was more difficult to open and it
       took me the better of an ahn to finally open it. I remember
       being so very proud of myself. My cleverness. Inside the box was
       a scroll, and…” she paused, and pointed to the shiny, purple
       stone that was set as a pin, which held her veil (which was
       thicker than any veil worn by slaves in the Tahari). I opened
       the scroll and I felt…I felt a sand storm blow into me. I felt
       gifts being bestowed on me, gifts I did not understand…and I
       felt myself change.” She inhaled deeply, breathing out slowly as
       she unpinned that stone and revealed-

       dagger [Nyah’s]
       Restricted
       Dagger's Rules
       Hulneth, PoD
       -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where
       entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings,
       pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. --
       says to ALL: I was horrified to see that her face, below her
       eyes was marred. As though she had been a clay figure caught in
       that sand storm and each, grain of sand had pelted into and
       dented her face. It was terrible and at the same time,
       beautiful. Perhaps only a person such a myself, who had
       experienced the horror of disfigurement in a society where women
       and more-so, slaves were prized for their beauty, could
       understand. I was proud that I did not gasp, but I knew well
       that my gaze would betray my emotions and I had to interject-
       “Please, I know my gaze expresses the horror I feel in my heart,
       but it’s not horror at how you look. It’s the shared horror,
       between us, as I understand how you must have felt.” I uncovered
       my right hand from my left and showed her where my pinky had
       been taken off, and where the angry red scar had covered the
       place where it was hacked off and over my knuckle where He had
       cauterised it. To my surprise, she smiled and reached out,
       touching my hand and missing finger gently.
       “Now you understand why I shared it with you, dagger. Or at
       least partly, the reason why. You have an understanding, most
       would not.” She looked toward the sky and looked anxious. I
       understood that if she were seen with me like this it might
       cause suspicion. She quickly pinned the veil back on her face
       and continued.

       dagger [Nyah’s]
       Restricted
       Dagger's Rules
       Hulneth, PoD
       -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where
       entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings,
       pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. --
       says to ALL: “I don’t have much time left, dagger, slave of
       Nyah, daughter of Kar and Tahari.” My head tilted, and I
       wondered if I should be uneasy with her knowing so much about
       me. As if she knew she reached out and took my hands in her own.
       “Do not be frightened of me. I am not here to bring you harm. My
       knowledges are as long as my memory, as I’ve been walking these
       lands a very long time.” I wanted to ask her if she was
       immortal. If the Initiates were wrong and woman could become
       immortal. But my attention quickly returned to her.
       “My gift, from the scroll, was that of a Storyteller and
       persuasion. My curse, was the marring of my face and my beauty,
       what I held so dear. But what I discovered dagger, was my joy in
       serving. Serving the people with my stories and serving my
       Owner, who I love.” I was about to interject again, as to why
       she must tell stories as a Free woman, when she answered for me.
       “The reason I must tell these stories as a Free woman, is
       because no one would listen to them they way they need to if it
       came from a slave.” There was a shrewdness in her eyes as I felt
       my own widen and suddenly it made sense to me. She stood then,
       my hands still held in hers which brought me to my feet too. I
       was still much smaller than she was and I watched as she bent at
       the waist, brought my hands to her lips, kissed them and then to
       her forehead and whispered something I could not hear. Before
       turning to leave, she spoke one last thing.
       “Do not let grief prevent you from being the slave you were
       meant to be, dagger. Do not allow loss to hollow your heart.
       There is still much to give. There is always much to give. Serve
       well, Shadowed Herlit..” And she was gone like a mirage.
       I stood there, for what felt like ahns. My mind still trying to
       absorb everything she had told me and committing it to detail;
       still the good, slave of Athir who plucked knowledge from
       people’s brains and brought it back to him. But instead of
       bringing it to anyone, I was being greedy and keeping it. I
       would, of course, share if with my Mistress. If only to
       understand what I was meant to do with it. But, as I made my way
       toward the Fair grounds and left the Amphitheatre behind me,
       there was a shift within my breast. I felt lighter and while I
       was pretty sure the shadows would always be with me, as the
       Shadowed Herlit I was, I understood that I did not have to
       saturate myself in them. I was a part of the shadows, but
       without light, there’d be no shadows.
       I hope you enjoy, my Mistress.

       and greeted and asked to speak with me...
       My hand rested for the moment to her shoulder as I spoke in a
       soft voice
       "of course dagger"
       and with that, she looked up at me..I could see in those dark

       hear so much change in her tone
