Name: Aubrey Mason Age: 14 Race: Human Class: Elementalist Physical Description: Aubrey is very pretty for a boy, even moreso given his youth and the fact that he's adorably innocent. About average height, he is very slender, and looks almost feminine. His light blonde hair is long, flowing down to the small of his back, and covering one crystal blue eye in the front. It shines with the sunlight, and glitters when sunlight wanes. His skin is light, almost an ivory color, and soft, smooth as silk, shimmering with youth and a certain innocence that makes it very tempting to touch. Given the choice, he usually dresses in close-fitting clothing and simple leather shoes, but now wears ratty clothing as he is merely a slave in Dark Desires. Weapons, Armor and other Items:----- Random: A small stuffed bear (unnamed). History: Aubrey was your typical merchant's son, travelling with his father around the world. He had no interest in becoming a merchant, but he hated being with his mother at any given time, and he didn't often see his father if he didn't go with him. One of his mother's consorts-- something that his father was unaware of-- told them that trade was becoming extremely good in Iodar. Of course, his father refused to fathom the idea, knowing full well how intruders were treated, but the man pressed the idea. Finally, after a month of hearing it, Aubrey's father began to entertain the idea of trading in Iodar in his mind. Before long, he and Aubrey were setting off for Yareth from their cozy little home in Telsey, Ardenbau. Tragedy was the result. Aubrey's father fell trying to protect his son, and Aubrey was taken to become a slave. It was then that his fear of touch began, growing and making him much more submissive. He feared losing his virginity, and did what he was told in order to avoid drawing attention to himself. Shortly after, he found himself in Yareth, at a frightening bar and brothel called Dark Desires. He began keeping a journal from there.. Location: Iodar, Yareth Other: No longer a virgin (brutally raped by a patron of Dark Desires called Rachen). Fears: Haptephobic- Terrified of touch. Hydrophobic- Terrified of water (not rain, just bodies of water). Scared of thunder.

I. Dark Desires~[/url] Dear Journal,
After coming to find myself in Yareth, Iodar, I found myself in a tavern and brothel called Dark Desires. Eligor, the owner, is harsh, and the few days I have been there have been a single nightmare, each day blurred into the rest. So afraid was I of the Ascent, as it is called by us slaves, that I was nervous and Eligor was growing more and more upset with me. He let his friend Raechen have me, to break me.
Raechen is very fond of his whip, I have found. My back bleeds in some places where it bit my tender flesh, and I cannot sit down properly without wincing, assuming that I even get the chance to sit. Loran, another slave there, found me, and brought me clean clothes. He risks so very much even just talking to me.. I'll have to repay him some day. In the meantime, I am finally being allowed to sleep, under Loran's orders, even if it is only in the servants' quarters.
~
Loran is dead. Eligor woke me by kicking my bed, and I did not argue or speak, simply getting out of my comfortable sleep quickly. I did not want to incur his wrath again. He told me to clean the room that Raechen had taken me to yesterday, and I could barely keep from crying at the sight of it. However, I did my job as I was supposed to, with a surprise visit from Raechen.
He did not touch me, but said that he had talked to Eligor about having time with me today. Another servant- whom I later found out was Loran- have offered himself as a replacement, and tried to kill Raechen with a kitchen knife. Raechen threw Loran's body into the room I was cleaning, and said that he always got what he wanted. I threw up, and I cried, and nothing that I could do would have brought Loran back.
Eligor said to finish cleaning, and so I did, covering Loran's face with what remained of the shirt Raechen had ripped from my body yesterday. He did not deserve such indecency as to watch me, even in his death, obeying that slime. I took his body to the pit out back and prayed to Inve to bless him, and forgive him for he was not a bad person. He had risked his life to save my own. I pray that what Loran saw for me will be met someday, whether it is freedom, or a quick, painless death.
~
A vampyre entered the tavern today, and Eligor sold me to him for pleasure at two-hundred ka an hour, as well as giving him permission to hurt me. I was scared, but strangely, welcomed the possibility of death. However, when we went to the room, this strange vampyre revealed that he was not whom I had thought. His voice was different, and he told me immediately that he thought I was cute and that he wasn't going to hurt me.
Who is he..?
~
The man revealed himself as being human, like me. I still don't know his name, but he says he can get us both out of here! We divised a plan, one that involved me being 'hypnotized' so that the Vampyre could have his way with me under the night sky. If we're lucky, Eligor won't want to watch.
The man says that if we get out of this alive, he will tell me his name. I think that I'll do the same, because we're still not sure if we're going to make it or not. I pray that Inve will keep us safe as we try to reach freedom.
~
So far, our plan is working. We're out of the tavern/brothel HELL, and we'll be well out of town by the end of the hour. Eligor informed my mystery savior that someone- a 'powerful man'- wanted to purchase me in the morning and will pursue if I was not here. He can only mean Raechen.
I'm scared, and having second thoughts. This stranger was kind enough to help me, but I've become a burden, and one that could cost him his life. I don't want to see another person die trying to save me.. I want my freedom, don't get me wrong, but there are so few places I can go or hide in order to be safe from that madman's clutches..
~
His name is Jaiden.
He's very kind, and even with my second-guesses, he thinks we have a chance. I hope he's right. Instead of going directly North as we first planned (the Nymandine don't care for cold), we're going to detour through Garumeth, or 'centaur land' as Jaiden called it.
I'm excited. I've always wanted to see the world, and now I can! Well, sort of. I can't wait until we get there..~Aubrey Mason

II. Gentle Trespassers~Dear Journal,
We've made it to Garumeth. We decided to rest under a shady tree now that daylight has come again. I'm so exhausted, I don't think I've ever been so happy to just sleep. In fact, I know I haven't. And now, I know I'm safe to sleep.. Jaiden says he'll take care of me. I hope that maybe I can help take care of him in return.
~
We awoke without harm, something that makes me feel even more relieved about our escape. Garumeth is gorgeous, really. We hiked towards Nemwe, looking for a source of water to bathe in. Eventually, we came upon a stream, something that made us each feel much better.
Jaiden noticed that I didn't dare to go near the deeper part, as well as that I wasn't even in the water. When I admitted that I couldn't swim (I hadn't really tried since I'd nearly drowned at age eight), he decided to teach me! I'm nervous, but I know he wont hurt me.
~
Jaiden taught me how to swim, and I can't believe it! It's so much easier than I thought! I'm not used to it, yet, though, so my legs got tired really fast and I had to finish washing in the shallows. It's been decided that we probably wont reach Nemwe by dark, but I don't mind; I don't think Raechen will have caught on anytime soon.
Jaiden said that once we get there, we'll have to make some ka first. By the gods, I thought he was an escort, the way he described it! But he's not; he's a Diviner.
~
I got Jaiden to climb a tree.. Who knew that he was afraid of heights? I guess we can both help each other, then. We could see Nemwe from the tree, and set off to cover that ground.
Oh, I hope we're not ill-received.~Aubrey Mason

III. Nemwe Tavern and Inn (Part I)~Dear Journal,
We arrived at the Nemwe Tavern and Inn just after dark. I waited while Jaiden spoke with the inn keeper, and then we went to our room. I couldn't believe it- a real bed! After so long, it was like a blessing. We were given soup for dinner, and the serving girl giggled at us when she left. What was so funny..?
Anyways, I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I hope it goes well. Goodnight!
~
When I woke up, Jaiden was already working. I felt bad that I didn't get to help him. We've both had lunch, and Jaiden agreed to sit in with me while I took my bath, so that I wouldn't be so afraid. He's a good person, Jaiden is. Always so nice to me. I just worry that nothing bad happens to him..
~
I told Jaiden about my fire casting. He was upset, and I'm sad because I think I hurt his feelings. I mean, i didn't tell him because I couldn't control it yet.. I was right.. right? I'm scared that he hates me now. I don't want to lose another friend! My father, Loran.. they were enough.. I don't want to lose Jaiden..
~
I was really scared. Jaiden seemed upset, but when I went into the room after he was dressed, he.. He kissed me. I panicked, and it seemed like he was going to.. to do things to me that I most definitely did not want, but then.. He stopped. I was crying, and he was apologizing.
For a moment, I thought about leaving, about never forgiving him. But then, I found that I am not that harsh of a person. Jaiden had stopped , after all. He hadn't continued his actions.. And then he'd apologized. I forgave him, and he decided to leave to make some ka. I didn't think he would come back, and I fell asleep on the bed.
When I woke up, he was asleep at the table, with my dinner sitting beside him, covered, and he had left me an adorable stuffed bear that I can hold easily in one hand. I think I might name it, but I haven't decided on a name yet. Most importantly, Jaiden came back..
~
There was a thunderstorm last night, and I woke up and got really scared. Thunder has always been terrifying to me, almost moreso than ponds and lakes and the like ever have been. I was so scared that I woke Jaiden up and begged him to hold me. He did, and he comforted me.. Normally, any touch would have scared me, but this didn't.. Why is that?
Is it because I had asked for it? Because I had some control over receiving it? It seems so strange, but.. I fell asleep, and I didn't have any nightmares.
