A drone arrives

Hermione's POV

I go to the door and open it. In front of the door is a thing that I can't quite describe. It floats in the air, as if it has a levitation spell on it.

Then our host comes to the front door. "Thank you for opening the door" he says and pulls the thing into the house.

"What is that?" I ask him, still looking at it. Now Ram also comes into the entrance hall and looks at the object.

"It's a drone" replies our host. "I explained to you that there are two new ones coming today."

That's when it hits me. I never wondered how we got here in the first place. This drone is about the size of a human, but a bit wider, so it could lift almost 2 people inside.

"You get delivered in this?" I ask him, not managing to keep some disgust out of my voice. "That's correct. You can also pick up characters directly from RealDreams, but it's a little more inconvenient."

He presses two buttons. All of a sudden, a flap opens at the back of the drone. "Could you get their stuff out?" he asks me and Ram, looking at the front of the drone.

Ram comes over to me and opens the flap wider. Inside are 2 dresses, several pieces of plain jewelry, and 2 collars. One looks like what we all have on. The other is metal and not as well made.

Ram grabs the 2 collars and one dress. I grab the other dress. It doesn't feel bad at all. What kind of fabric is this, I ask myself.

There is a small hiss and the front of the drone opens. I look inside and see a pretty woman lying inside, probably asleep.

Our host picks her up. "Come let's take her to her room" he suggests and walks ahead with her in his arms. Ram runs after him and I reluctantly follow.

This is how we are brought here, I think to myself. This is barbaric. We can't do anything until our new "owners" lock us up in our prison.

We go up to the 2nd floor, where our rooms are located. There he turns to the rooms of Ikumi and Ram. He goes to an empty room and puts the sleeping woman on the bed.

"Please put her clothes in the closet. Her accessories, please put them in the top drawer." Ram immediately gets to work. If only I could get to the collar to examine it.

But our host takes it off Ram and puts it around the new one's neck. So I have to admit defeat.

A short time later we are done putting things away. "Go downstairs. I will talk to her and then I come downstairs with her to introduce her."

So Ram and I go downstairs to leave the two of them alone.

James's POV

I look at Missandei's pretty face. I already have an idea how to get her to do it without having to train her much.

I look at the clock. Missandei's injection should stop working soon and it does. I see her start to stir slowly.

I wait a moment and she opens her eyes.
