"Now come" Stripetail replaced the mask and led Whiptail into the hills. The hourney took hours, but they finally a reached a huge castle which towered over the surrounding area. Rather than filling the traveler with a sense of forboding, it gave off the feeling of comfort and safety.

The young rat couldn't help but feeling astonished by this. "Is... is this yours, master?" He asked in curiousity and awe.

"Yes, master" He replied in a slightly slurred tone of voice. He was absent with his mind. He just couldn't take of his eyes of this huge castle, and as Whiptail continued to stare at the castle, he continued to ask himself questions. Who was his master? Was he a lord or something? A king maybe?

"Stripetail smiled as he looked at the younbg rat. Stripetail understood well what his life must have been like, a terible grind of abuse and hard labor.

Somehow his mind seemed to slowly return to reality, and out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed his master looking at him. Whiptail's mind went on alarm, and instantly he looked down to the ground. He blushed, feeling embarassed and nervous about the squirrels gaze, and blushed even harder as he thought on how silly he must look now.

"no need to look ashamed, my young servant. I suspect that my home was not a place you expected to be living at. It is a breathtaking place. Just wait until you get inside"

"Yes, master." He replied and followed his new master rather happily. As he approached the huge castle, his gaze suddenly shifted between the castle and his new master. He stared at his back for a long time, drifting away with his mind with each passing step. His mind finally snapped back to reality, as he realised that during his long stare at his master's back, his gaze had wandered deeper and deeper until... His head snapped up and his gaze went straight forward, a deep blush on his face. He hoped dearly, that his master hadn't noticed.

STripetail reached the enterance to the castle, and waited as the gates were opened for him. "He turned to look at Whiptail. 'Come along" he said to the young rat. "Once we get inside. You'll be given new clothes and those rags you are wearing will be burned."

as Stripetail had said, the inside of the castle was as breathtaking, if not more, than the outside. The halls sparkled with clean light, and there were numerous views of the surrounding area. Stripetail brought Whiptail to a fair-sized building on the right side of the grounds. "Sisimus" He called out "Yes, sire. I'm coming " a medium-sized badger come of of the building. "Sisimus, this is Whiptail. He needs a set of clothing. Burn the rags he has on. Once he has dressed, show him around the grounds. " Stripetail said. "At once sire. Follow me"Sissimus said to whiptail.

Sisimus led him to a store room. where he went inside and returned with a long stick. Stand still please he said. Sissimus used the stick to measure Whiptail's height. 'ok. Fair size for a rat. Now the length of your reach" he turhed the stick sideways and measured the length of Whiptail's wingspan. "pretty long reach. Ok , let me get you a size of clothing that fits you." Sismus went back inside put the stick down and returned with set of clothes. There was an undershirt of dark blue, a pair of light green pants and a habit, such as one might fight in old abbey. "Go into the next room and change then give me your old outfit" Sisimus said, giving Whiptail his new clothes.

After the slave auction had finished, the two foxes trekked out into the desert to find a secure place to camp. After several hours, Akeradies stopped, looked around, then sighed. "Not a stream or decent supply of food for miles. Come on, let's go find that oasis we saw earlier." They continued walking farther into the desert.
