A slaves tale
-
PC Name:Jabari Kneph-Bomani
Log-in Name:ncharmanJabari was born in Skuld "The City of Shadows". He was the son of a slave and thus the same fate was befallen upon him. His family was owned by a Middle Class named Kamenwati. Jabari spent his youth helping his mother in the kitchen, and attending his masters family serving them food, bathing them or any other tasks they might have.
Kamenwati was not kind to his slaves, often punishing them for simple things or nothing at all. He would often take the women slaves and sometimes the young boys to his bed chambers. One night, Kamenwati summoned for Jabari to attend him in his chambers. Jabari refused, but his mother and father forced him to go, for fear of repercussions. Jabari still to this day has nightmares of the nights were his master would call for him.
A hatred burned within Jabari, greater than any feeling he had ever had, his anger fueled a fury so intense that Jabari could barely be brought to speak, his Hatred was aimed toward his master, and to his parents who would do nothing,or could do nothing to protect him. Jabari swore vengeance, he began collecting small ornaments of glass, he would grind them up into a fine powder and when helping his mother in the kitchen would sneak the powder into the food. So fine that they would go unnoticed to all.
Months passed, and Jabari continued the same process, carefully avoiding as much of the tainted food as he could. Finally; after months of work, many of his masters family, including Kamenwati began to fall ill, Jabari thought it would only be a matter of time now before they would all pay.
Kamenwati, lay on his death bed. Yet one night he still called for Jabari to enter, this was it he thought to himself, no more and taking advantage of the man in a weakened state, Jabari unleashed his fury. He drew a tiny makeshift item sharpened on the ends and thrusted the tool into his throat, blood spilled freely from the wound and muted his cries for help, Jabari then continued to stab and thrust with his makeshift weapon placing small deep holes throughout his masters body, he continued the stabbing well after Kamenwati life had already be taken.
Jabari then in a panic began searching through drawers, taking what he could find, he managed to find some gold and a some jewels, he pocketed the items and dashed out the second floor window, jumped to the low walls of the compound and made way for the street.
6 Years pass
Jabari was not reaching adulthood, but his freedom as a child had been short lived, he was captured mid-way along the road to Sultim and once again brought to work for a new master, things were different however; Jabari still despised being a slave, but his new master taught him many things, taught him of the Asps venom, the scorpians sting and even allowed him to learn how to wield some weapons.
Jabari's was then sold to some slavers, and quickly loaded on a northbound ship, while enroute however; the ship sailed into a horrible storm, huge waves crashed against it destroying the sails and mast. With many slavers lost to the sea, the ship was at Umberlee's mercy. For days it followed the current of the ocean, till finally land was in sight. The few remaining slavers required some men to row the remaining boats to the land, Jabari was lucky enough to be selected.
He and another slave rowed a group of four slavers to the coast, as they neared the land, Jabari managed to shift his moment enough to tip the boat knocking two slavers into the water, he then swung the oar with quickness of a pouncing cat catching the other two men off guard and sending them overboard as well. Jabari and the other sailor then rowed the rest of the way to shore and bolted into the surrounding wilderness.
Jabari and the other slave travelled for days, stealing what they good from settlements and living off the land as best they could. They continued north, and now have found the region they are told is Narfell.
