9th of Cylus, 719
Wald had sat in this cage for what seemed like an arc, it had been where he was contained for so long now. He was captured by slavers in the tundra, their number was to great for Wald to take alone. His possessions were striped for copper, and his pack sold for silver. He was alone in this cage, they put a tarp over so he could not see the sun. He was stuck to the whims of what was to come.
Talking was going on outside of the cage, two men, they were speaking a language unknown to Wald. As he tried to listen in, the speech became more muddied. He could hear the movement of sliver, before the tarp over his cage was removed. The sun blinded Wald, and he covered his eyes from it. The sound of metal against metal screeched, as the cage opened slowly. Several large men came into the cage, dragging Wald out. It would seem Wald was sold as a slave, but to who he did not know. He assumed the man dressed in fine dress, who was still talking to one of the slavers.
Wald got dragged into a building, It was made of stone this made him uncomfortable. Though he had not the energy or resolve to have a freak out now. His family was shattered not to long ago, his mind was broken already. Though... This was not a home, the building moved down into a dungeon. A place where many people were kept, there were all kinds of races down here. One of them looked almost inhuman, he had a glowing chain around his neck. The man was grey, he was human but not at the same time. Maybe he was a mage of some kind, Wald had heard that magic users look inhuman on sight.
Wald was eventually thrown into a cage of his own, blood was dried on the walls and floor. Who ever was in here last likely died of blood loss, this was one of the signs of where he was. A Lotharro in the cage next to Wald whispered towards him, when the men left. "Welcome, Hope you don't die as fast as the last one."
Wald looked over to the Lotharro. "I don't plan to die here."
The Lotharro laughed. "Too bad for you, as you haven't the choice in the matter. You will fight, and die for entertainment."
Wald looked confused, as the Lotharro seemed cheerful. "Shouldn't you be less cheerful?"
The Lotharro shook his head. "Unlike you human, my death brings me back to my home."
