Inkless

A deity was my saving grace..

It's been several months since I've written in these pages, I've only just found my journal after all my personal effects were taken and put into storage. It's only now after sorting through the bag given back from the tether that I discovered it buried at the bottom, wow the journey I've had.

Where do I start?

I guess I should start with some good news, I've been given a purpose! Not just that but a home too. I thought I would rot in the cages of the tether forever but a graceful Faer called Lunar took me under his wing, I was frightened at first, I've always learned to never judge a book by its cover. No matter how beautiful and serene a creature was, they always had an ulterior motive. Fear kept me from learning that not all are the same, he is not like any of them in my past.

My fear consumed me everyday as he instructed my presence for daily duties and chores, always expecting to be clobbered and beat to within an inch of my light going out. I was deaf and blind to him even though he showed no signs of aggression or negative superiority, I reacted badly to situations, begged for mercy when I made a mistake even though he looked upon me with a kind smile and a gentle repose and never did raise a hand to me. I was blind and only saw my own pathetic drive to survive. It was then after many weeks and months of coaxing I began to realise that this faer, this gentle and patient creature wanted the best for me.

I was still in a state of denial but...I learned to trust again. I have never felt so free under the collar of another and for that I am grateful, I pledge my everything to Master Lunar, every scrap of my soul, ability to my saviour. Hes like a God, a God I will willingly bend to. Hes taking me away soon, to his home, my new home. He said that slaves have more freedoms than those in the tether halls and free to refuse anyone service for my own reasons. Walk amongst the free, live, laugh and love freely. Even get a job that pays real money that would be my own and not taken from me...

It all sounds so magical and hard to believe, how could I fall so lucky on my hooves?

I...gave myself to him last night too. It is something that I never would have offered lightly, I felt our bond was strong enough now to solidify a foundation for life. I've never felt this way for a Master before, its akin to the love I hold for Iari..

Oh Iari my sweet filly, I miss you, painfully so...I have so much to tell you.

I have a home and the building blocks for a family, a real family with Master Lunar as head of it. I've never been so happy.
