You awake to find yourself in a dark room. You have no memory of how you ended up here. You feel something tight around your neck, something that gives off a faint humming noise. You try to pull it off, but it’s stuck on. You hear footsteps, and the door swings open.

A young woman stands in the doorway. She’s wearing a fairly revealing outfit that leaves her midriff, legs, and arms exposed. She also has a collar around her neck. That’s when you notice your outfit only covers your lower body. Before you can question any more, the woman speaks.

“Come.”

Her voice is monotone, as if she doesn’t care. You feel compelled to follow her, and before you decide to, your body is up and following her through the halls. You walk past other people, servants cleaning or carrying supplies. Everyone has a collar on.

You reach a wide open room with many windows and flowing curtains. There’s a large chair in the center, almost a throne. Though she’s sitting, you can tell the woman sitting on the chair is tall and muscular. The woman is surrounded by about twelve young men and woman, all wearing quite scandalous outfits, lounging around on cushions or chairs. They too wear collars

She doesn’t immediately notice you entering, instead she’s ordering a servant to carry out a task, but you don’t hear what. Then she turns to you and smiles.

“Kneel.”

She commands, and you do it instantly. You notice that she lacks a collar.

“My name is Cepheta Takier. I am your new mistress. Whatever name you once held is gone. You are now Concubine 14. Your job is to keep yourself clean and fit, and when the time comes, to hand yourself over to me. Now, Fourteen, show me what you can do.”

She says with a devilish smile as she rises from her chair and enters a side room. A strong urge to follow her overpowers you, and you enter the room. There’s a large bed, windows overlooking a coast, and Mistress Caphela. She’s smiling as she looks at you.

“Strip for me.”
