Even?! Are you serios?

Saying the situation was bad was like saying the sky was blue or the grass green. It was obvious and clear for everybody around. No different was with Ariane, as a cold stream of water hit her body. She spat the water, shivering from the cold and not being able to avoid or even cover herself from the next stream. Soon, her captor with sword decided that she is clean enough and dragged her to the tent of the mage. Inside he threw her on the bed where someone else already was. A young girl in fancy bra and panties that didn't really fit here, but she had a **** collar too, and a chain on the wrist. But Ariane noticed that her skin was pale, and her hands were free from bruises and other marks of hard working. Definitely she was the noble's daughter and the reward offered was for finding her.

"Mmmfff! Mnnff? Mnnfff??" The elf muffled in her gag, but the only response was the scared stare of the captive girl. Well, the sorceress wasn't surprised by that. After a few days of being treated as a **** most people would break. The mage entered the tent and waved to his men.

"Very well, now get her out of here. She will join the rest of slaves." Said the mage, pointing at the noble's daughter and his men obeyed the command. The girl didn't resist and just let them drag her wherever they were taking her. They left the tent and Ariane remained alone with the mage. He smiled to her and took a **** collar form his box, with a blue crystal on it. The sorceress recognized it and tried to move away, but her tied hands and legs made the task impossible. Without any problems the mage locked the collar on Ariane's neck. The crystal shined with blue light when it was locked.

"Well, well. Finally we can speak freely. What do you say about that, little sorceress? " He asked as he took off her gag. Ariane didn't answer him, only open her mouth to speak a spell, to get free and... nothing. Her magic had no effect, no any results. Just like she expected.

"My, my, and I thought that you will be smarter. No mage can bypass my magic block collars. It is too powerful for you." Ariane look away, thinking about her state. She won't be able to take off the collar even with free hands. That thing was made in such a way that it would block any attempts to get free. She needed the help of another mage to take that thing off.

...

At the same time Khala tried to shield herself from the cold, staying naked in a cold cave was a really horrible experience. She watched as Ariane was taken to the boss, but there were too many creatures and bandits around to do anything about it. For now she had to stay hidden and find some weapon to defend herself. Suddenly, she saw as the guards brought out of the tent some other girl, looking much better than most of the slaves here. They locked her in the cage next to the former cage of Khala and left her.

"Maybe she knows something useful." Said Khala to herself, thinking if it was worth it to take s risk now, or to wait a little longer.
