[i]"So slavery?" [/i]
-
"Yep. Bred and modified a bunch of us to be what they wanted in a slave."
-
[i]"So you were a fighter then?" [/i]

"Yep. Well, a show-slave, but basically. They had me fight, they had me show off. Though from the reactions I get when I tell people that here, I'm assuming 'showing off' means something different?@
