Prologue
Galya fought hard. She had done her best. She knew that. Her village had been saved but she had been taken and sold. She was now on her way to Rome which was one place she did not want to go. She had almost begged to be sent to Britain so she might then have a chance to escape to family and not into the wilderness. She didn't even know the name of the person who had bought her. Actually scratch that, she didn't care who had because she was just going to kill them eventually. Though she knew he must be important if he sent all of these soldiers to escort one little Sarmatian girl to Rome.
Within the next five weeks they arrived in Rome. She tried to see what it looked like. She'd heard stories about the city. She heard that it was the most beautiful and horrible city known to man. All she knew of it from the where she was was that it was loud and people were scurrying around. So at least she knew that there was life here. That it wasn't exactly cold and dead. Suddenly they stopped and two men were pulling her from the carriage. 'Oh wonderful.' She thought.
They dragged her into a house and there stood a Bishop. She looked him over once and immediately knew that her life was going to be hell. He stepped forward and looked her over and lifted her chin so she was looking him in the eye, "What is your name girl?"
"Galya" She said holding none of the confidence and defiance in her voice back.
The Bishop looked her over once more and then looked her dead in the eye, "Can you fight then, girl?" He asked.
She smiled wickedly and replied, "Of course I can fight, Bishop."
Then there was pain and spots began to form in front of her eyes. He'd hit her and he hit here hard. She couldn't remember one time before she'd been hit that hard. She grabbed her tightly to him and whispered menacingly into her ear, "You are my slave. You will call me master. I bought you because of your fighting skills. I am in need a personal body guard outside of the soldiers I have. You will serve me in this capacity. Also, I have been told what tribe you are from and I have been informed that you have brothers in Britain under Arthur Castus. If you even think about escaping or killing me I will send word to have them killed. Am I understood?"
Galya's blood drained from her face and she was trying to hold back tears. Her brothers were the only family that she had left and she would do anything for them but serving this Roman was going to be beyond torture for her. She pulled back from the grip of the Bishop and bowed her head. She would submit to him to save her family and to save herself, "I will serve you."
