This is the backstory of Rin Takahashi, my OC. She was born and raised in Hinomoto, but how did she end up in Gedonelune and apparently not remembering her past in the Island of Deities? Read on...
Rin woke up in a cell, she panicked at first, but immediately calmed down and inspected the room. It seemed just like any other room, except there were some bars in a small window on the door that gave it a prison feel. She failed to find any opening for an escape so she tried to recall what happened before then. She was born a slave, but she's the type to do laundry and cooking rather than anything "dirty". As a slave she had not changed hands even once until that one night. She was running an errand from her master and somehow got knocked out. As she remembered all this, she said to herself, "Oh, so that's what happened?"
Suddenly, Rin jumped at the sound of rattling keys. Two burly men opened the door and came in, she instinctively cowered and curled up at the furthest corner. One of them opened, "Oh my, isn't she cute?" He was going up to her but the other one pulled him back, "Are you nuts? Her price will drop if you even touch her." The second man "tch"ed and stepped back, saying, "Yeah... Yeah..." A scrawny man who looked like a slave came in with some food. Her nose caught a whiff of the good scent of something savoury, but she was too wary to eat in front of those wicked-looking strangers. The first man commanded after the slave departed, "Be sure to eat up and wash yourself every day, it's your duty, we're not asking for much, really."
After the men left the room, Rin let out a sigh of relief. "Coming to think of it," she contemplated, "My old master wasn't bad at all." She had been the type of slave to do groceries, cooking and message errands for her old master, nothing lewd. He was so wealthy that he had an abundance of working slaves so life wasn't that hard for her in comparison to many others, she was not even assigned any laundry task. She had more holidays than most slaves in Hinomoto who were less fortunate. Her relationship with her old master was purely that of an employee and her employer, there was nothing personal between them. He was the rare type who had respect for slaves and never made a move on any of the females in the household. A negative feeling rose gradually in her, she feared for her future, what if her new master was violent or unreasonable?
...
Rin was at the market, wearing a black collar attached to a leash, ready to be sold. The collar did not feel uncomfortable, it was not tight, and she was used to it. A few older men with perverted expressions seemed interested in her, but when they heard the cost for buying her, they all gave up. Knowing how an unsold slave would suffer the worst of fates, she would rather be bought by one of them. A young man who appeared to be 19 years old came over to her stall, judging from his clothes he appeared to be quite well-off, but not as wealthy as her old master. He eyed her coldly. The slave trader in charge of her seized the opportunity for an advertisement, "Good morning, sir, are you interested in our merchandise perchance?" The young man's impassionate blue eyes slanted to look at the slave trader, and replied coolly, "Maybe." Rin's eyes were glued to his face, he was so handsome and attractive that she was literally drooling. When the young man leaned in a bit closer to scrutinise her face, her heart was beating so loudly that she felt like her heart could burst. The slave trader snapped her out of it abruptly, "Oi, it's rude to stare, you know!" The blue-eyed man stood up straight and cleared his throat. The slave trader was rambling enthusiastically on and on about what he assumed Rin could do as a slave but he did not seem at all interested. "Please... Save me," she found herself pleading with the prospective buyer even though she felt fear of angering the trader in charge of her, she felt that even if he turned out to be the cruelest sadist in the world she would still rather be close to him. To her surprise, his lips curved into a gentle smile, then he made a princely gesture and spoke to the slave trader, "I will buy her."
The 2 armed guards stood still as stone, as he followed the slave trader somewhere else. Once they returned after a while, the blue-eyed man pulled her away by the leash with an unreadable smile. The other slaves-for-sale were evidently green with envy. It was as if a sweet dream came true, but somewhere deep down she felt an unknown fear.
