Chapter Seventeen

Otun

I agreed to meet with the group of gladiators attempting to escape from Stryxx only to appease Nisha.

They were fools.

Gladiators escaping was one thing. But to steal eight of Bardoa’s human courtesans was very different. Bardoa didn’t give second chances. He’d kill them all if this went badly.

But Nisha was excited. She had hope. She wanted to go with them. But if it went badly, she’d be killed. I gritted my teeth. I couldn’t let that happen.

It was a large group, which was the first stupid thing I’d noticed. You couldn’t move this many slaves towards a stolen ship easily. Especially with no patrons to give them cover.

The second stupid thing were the gladiators themselves. They must have taken a few too many knocks to the head in the pits.

We met at the gladiator pleasure house and they sat clustered together. I tried to sit apart from them, in case any other guards saw us. That way, I could turn away and pretend I wasn’t with them.

“We have two new additions,” said a gladiator covered in wiry hair and whose breath stank wretchedly. There were some grumblings from the other males, and a few of them looked at me curiously.

“One is a guard,” the hairy male said, with a smug smile. “Otun.” He introduced me to the others, and I nodded. There was a collection of approving murmurs.

He gestured to the gladiator beside me. “This is Raitek.”

The male looked fierce, with black spikes growing out of his spine. He would be a force to be reckoned with in the fighting pits.

“No more additions,” said a gladiator with a large snout and two giant protruding tusks. “There are too many as it is, especially with the females. We shouldn’t be taking them anyway.”

“We’ll need something to keep us entertained in space,” snickered a pimply green male. He didn’t look like he’d last very long in the pits. Another male laughed alongside him.

I frowned. These males didn’t seem like they wanted to give the females a life of freedom. It just seemed like they wanted to use them. The newly joined gladiator beside me frowned as well. He crossed his arms over his chest menacingly. It seemed we were aligned in this.

Nisha. I was here for Nisha. No one else.

“We need the females for our plan to work. The guards will believe we are there to deliver them to their patrons.”

I cleared my throat. “When does the escape take place?”

“Tomorrow,” announced the hairy male leader. “We’ve marked our ship. We just need to steal it.”

“How do you plan on getting to the docking station without arousing suspicions?” The spiked male unfolded his arms and asked the question bothering me as well.

“You leave that to us,” sneered the snouted male.

“We are going in two groups,” said the beast, continuing, ignoring his stupid friend. “Guard, you will lead the group with the females to the docking station and explain you are bringing the gladiators and females to patrons aboard the ship.”

I hadn’t even said I’d agreed with the plan yet and already I was being used for it.
