i know most peoples stories are great and my last on was lame but i thought i might as well continue the story....

Arriving at Athatka

Kamith awoke with a start as the caravan came to a halt at a large gate. He looked round and saw the other slaves stiring also.It was early morning and the sun was just above the horizion and the sky was a purple blue.

A guard approced from the city taking small fees from each caravan as he went , then he reached the slavers caravan in which Kamith and the other slaves sat.He stood to walk at the door of the metal cage but quickly realisd he couldnt due to the chains round his neck and down his arms."Damn you pigs let me out of this cage or you'll pay!!" shouted Kamith at the top of his lungs.

The fat slaver at the front of the caravan turned and craked his whip off the cage "shut your mouth drow,you better be worth this trouble". Kamith went to shout again but another slave, an elf, grabbed his wrist"calm down we'll be in the market soon then we'll get to strech our legs." Why are they doing this?" Kamith said sitting next to him "They dont buy us they raided out villages killed....killed everyone and just took us to sell ....there sick....but.."he looked round and whispered to him " we've got a plan ,we aint goin to be slaves for long".The others nodded."My name is Othelleno and we my friend are going to escape" Kamith nodded to the man with a smile this man knew his pain to have his loved ones killed and his life wrecked and together with the help of al the slaves they would be free"OK" Othelleno started to explain"when we get to the market......."

They arrived at the market 3 hours later.Kamith was ready he had been fiddling with the locks all the way there and it was something he was luckily good at.When they put there plan into action the slaves wouldnt all be tied together this way they would have more of a chance to escape they were planing to scatter and get away or at least to some kind of safety.

"Get up maggots" a human slaver said as he pulled open the cage door and they started to file out onto the platform they were being show on. The fat slaver shouted along with all the other traders in the market selling all kinds of things. "get some fine quality slaves , we've got elfs, humans and drow. " he shouted as they lined up Kamith looked around at the people listening to the slaver and then to the slaver himself. The man wasent pleasent to look at and soon everyone was looking at Othelleno. he nodded to them all in turn and then he held 3 fingers by his side.

3......the slaver was making up some crap about how good his slaves were

2......the gaurds were bored so they started talking to each other

1.........people were laughing at something the fat slaver had just said

"NOW!!!" they sprung to action and all pulled at there chains which came apart .They were now all free from each other and running in different directions.Kamith had decided to go with Othelleno as he had said he was also going to waterdeep. The others were running and some were caught and some escaped ,but he wasent concentrating on that .He was concentrating on the slaver gaurd that was now blocking his path. He didnt slow down in fact he sped up and kneed the man in the solar plexus winding him then tackled him to the ground holding at his throat. He felt the mans body go limp and was getting up to keep going but a slaver had already swung for him with a long sword.

He put a hand up but there was no need as othelleno fliped through the air and kicked the man sending him sprawling into the crowd "Come on my friend we are almost there....almost free again ". They started to sprint away but Kamith suddenly felt as if he was grabbed by the throat and was being dragged back by an invisable enemy, in fact the fat slaver had used his whip and caught him by the neck now draggin the drow back ."NO!!" Othelleno shouted and turned back, he ran at the man and wrestled him to the ground.The whip around Kamiths neck losened and he got up to help his friend who was now getting up from the dead form of the fat human.

Then as if in slow motion 2 of the gaurd pulled out there crossbows and aimed at Othelleno.He didnt see this but Kamith did and his eyes widened and he shoued but as the elf turned still in slow motion the men had already fired hitting him in the side of his neck and lower stomach.

Kamith ran to him but he was also caught in this slow motion world and couldnt run as he should.He got to the elf and he was coursing with rich black blood form his neck.Kamith turned him over but he was long gone... another decent person dead ....his fault ...again.....because he was weak.Suddenly the world snapped back into real time and the 2 slavers who shot Othelleno ran up to the crouched form of Kamith. One of them grabed his shoulder and he snapped up straigh giving him an elbow to the nose the man fell back and kamith used the chain still attached to his arms to slice the man across the chest giving him a good scar to talk about at parties.

He walked forward he would kill him........but before he could get to him the other man grabbed him and used his chains against him he kicked and struggled with all his might but the man had the chains behind his back and he was soo threw back into the cage with 2 others who hadent escaped. He looked at the door but it was shut tight. He looked beyond the cage and saw the dead form of his new friend.sinking to his knees he simly stared with chaos around them because of other slaves and theifs who had used the situation to there advantage.

He was no futher on in escaping than he was before ,..........and now another good life had been taken...all because of him "why.........why....me???" he asked noone in particular feeling cursed ,why had fate made it so all he got close to died he felt weak like others were dying in hi place and i was always his fault.........
