It was located on the lower end of town down by the waterfront. I recognized the aroma as being similar to the scent that accompanied my blindfolded t...ip to the BDSM pub. Until our last venture into this area I had never been to this part of town. It was full of seedy characters, ready to **** and pillage any woman who walked alone, day or night. I felt reassured that Master would protect me, after all I was his sole property now. Inside the jewelry store, Master spoke in some foreign language. It is better if they proposition her. That way, they don’t feel they are being tricked. If something is too good to be true, it probably is. When your sister started trying to make deals with you, didn’t warning bells go off inside your head telling you it was probably a trick?” Dad asked me.“Yeah,” I agreed.“Those warning bells are primal instincts. You need to hone them a little more through experience and learn to trust them. Your first reaction is usually the right one. Your mother flirted. I've revised my appraisal of Allied from positive to neutral-to-negative." I see. I don't fully understand what your job entails, but I'm getting the gist." I thought, seeing as how they treated Mae, that some of what I made on that merger should be used to get her established." I know she's very happy now. The way things were headed really frightened me for her." Jon!" I heard Mae calling from upstairs. "Jon! Can you help me?" I'll be right back."I headed upstairs and found Mae in her robe. Three were unique gems as she had gained a black diamond. She hadn’t had the gem for Lore on her brace so this one would double for it. She had also obtained a black opal for Nature but wasn’t aware of its significance.James’ brace was silver and he had seven gems. The largest jewel was the new special gem and they both knew it was her royal gem. The other stones represented the six traits. He was her bonded Paramore and as powerful as a Lord Wizard. They noticed their medallions hadn’t changed.
