“Itis a girl,” Damien explained pouring me a serving and smiling.
“We sent the message to Nu-reeh as soon as you connected to us. The whole
compound is getting a treat tonight, although the others do not know why.”
We ate in comfortable silence. My rib still throbbed, but there was no more inner
discord. The dissension of opinion had been harder to tolerate than the physical
pain.
The men knew that would have been the case. Pain through disagreement in the
bond was always the worst thing imaginable. The cruelest thing to do to any man
would be to seek to disrupt Long held opinions in just one Brother.
That surprised me. We had not always agreed. I'd believed I should not be a
slave long before they'd come to that conclusion. We had never felt like we did
earlier today.
“You allowed us to guide you, little Sister,” Bane said filling my plate back up.
“You did not fight us. Damien, Evan, Kein and I were not confronted with your
feelings on the matter. It also helped that our sneaky Brother with his Earth
heritage agreed with you. Both of you,” he grinned at Christof, “held those
opinions away from us and shared only with each other. We did not truly
experience your disagreement.”
I thought of Vesa and her poor, stupid friends. The men knew some sort of
punishment awaited such foolish slaves. They would never be told what it was,
though. The General had assured them they would never know.
“sould we help them?” I asked softly.
“We are,” Damien informed me, “they are being saved the wrath of five Warriors
that have been wronged. Whatever they suffer now will be Less because we are
not there.”
It was done and settled. Even I felt at ease with the decision, I would not be to
blame for any suffering Vesa faced. Admittedly, she did deserve some form of
punishment.
Vesa and her friends had attacked me outright. While they probably didn’t mean
to leave lasting scars, none of them expected me to truly fight back. Those
foolish girls probably thought they could just scare the secret out of me.
“Our Littlest member is a true Warrior!” Kein said raising fist and pumping the air
several times.
The other Brothers followed suit in what was a celebration of strength.
“Four against one and beneath the surface of the water,“ Evan said proudly, “you
used what we taught you well and adapted it to a new circumstance.”
That had been wonderful. It was decided next time we train we'd use sloping
terrain or maybe two against one. There were things that would be fun to teach
me, especially since I'd proved an adept student.
“You need to know how to defend your back against attack,” Christof said.
“Foes do not always come at you from the front, as you learned.”

The Healers were at our door before the sun started to break the sky. Evan had
not woken me, yet. The Healer’s Loud voices did, though.
“How did you Know?" they kept asking Damien as they bustled into the bedroom.
