Assalamualaikum and peace be upon you. . .
Day of the Sun,
26th dawn of the Month of the Festival of Purifications,
Year of the Caminus Canis
10th day in the life of a Slave
Silver Linings of a Slave
They say, every dark cloud have its silver lining. . .
The Demon never really knew what these meant. For him, dark clouds would forever be dark clouds – marking a dull damp day. Such a day that would dampen not only the carcass that bears one name, but also the soul that the brought meaning to the name.
How wrong was the Demon. . .
The things that the Demon witnessed prove him wrong. A slave he is still. Enslave he will forever be. That's a fact that none could contend. Or could it not? Not for no one to answer at this moment. Not a thing that none should care for this moment.
What is important though, the lessons that the Demon has, is and would learned.
Beautiful truly is this day was. Tis' the day when the Slave, the Demon the Glorified Child of Agnus - Arrogant Prince of the Bay of Diamonds, is once again made a learner of the Forgotten Ways.
The duties as Adfero ended early today.
The Demon walks out through the gleaming glass doors to his ever loyal Musculus Servus, a being silver in color, to take him back to his Cave of Adumbration. Just outside of the door, sitting leisurely on the stone chairs that circled a stone table (it is a place where the Adferos of different ranks sat to mingle with each other), inhaling the Fumes of 4000 Banes - Captains of the Adferos, Male Goat Lee and his senior, Zoo the Hairy.
The Demon walks to them; took a seat and sat beside them - a gesture of respect.
Lesson Thought to a Slave 1.
"Demon, you will be serving Lock Man the Judge, Captain of the Adferos of the Day of the Sun come the first dawn of the Month of the God of War," says Male Goat Lee.
"Pardon me sire, I am still new me lord, there are hundredth of knowledge I still yet to learn as an Adfero. . . these shackles on my limbs would bring shame to the Oris of Astu. . ." replied the Demon with truthful shallow confidence.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" loudly does both of the Captains laughed.
"Demon, you have the trainings of a third level Apprenticeship of the Mercantors have you not?" asked Zoo the Hairy.
"Have you not the ability to use your mind and knowledge in the arts of the Mercantors?" asked Male Goat Lee, “and were you not the one who presented me this proffer to eagle eyed the Minions of the Moderarums?” continue Male Goat Lee.
"Truly me lords. . ." answered the Demon, humbled.
"Then you should sign no qualms no more. First dawn of the Month of the God of War, you will serve Lock Man the Judge. This is first of your trainings before I take you under my banner. You should know Demon, to be under my banner would mean you have to be able to brace the wrath of me. I am one of the guardians of hell in Oris of Astu," sternly state Male Goat Lee, "I take only the bold, strong, truthful and those who are invincible to my Labrum of Agnus."
"Indeed, indeed. . ." agreed Zoo the Hairy.
"All that is left Demon, is for you to master your anger, your eagerness to talk back and your ego," firmly does Male Goat Lee reminded the Demon, "I abhor arrogance in a learner".
"As you will sire," bowed the Demon.
In his flailing mind, the Demon contemplates. How foolish he is not to see the gifts that the One True Master has given him. The Captains have indeed see this in him thus be the reason for the Demon to be handed this responsibility – this trust.
A burden it is, no doubt - a sweet burden, sweeter than the honeys of haven.
Now understood the Demon why has saw what he sees in during the ten days that have past since he first became a Slave to the Slaves of Lucre.
He understood now why the Miser Lady would sacrifice wealth for a veil. It is for the honor of her faith. And why the Lords that claims to be the champion her plight lowered themselves like peasants and salute the Demon as a lord. To seek honor from the honors meant only for the One True Master.
He understood now why does the Denied Agripetas seek his help them in their land-war against the Keepers of the Cove of Mud. It is the Demon duty to the oppressed, as thought by Path of the Forgotten.
He understood now this is his submission.

In another time, another tale will come.
Maybe, of the things that the Demon saw as a Slave to a Slave.
But for now, the Demon would rest.
