A.C. 93
Pain surged up his arm. Hycas looked at the wound. He watched the blood trickle down his forearm and fall to the floor. He looked at the gash, there was no reason for him to have a wound. He had not injured himself. He cleaned and bandaged it, then returned to his work.
"Hycas, there is a new slave for you to assess," the maid said pleasantly. The maid left and a violet-eyed boy stumbled in.
"Your name," Hycas said, the boy remained mute, his eyes averted. Hycas felt a pang of guilt - pain that the beautiful violet eyes would not look upon him.
"Dana," the boy said. The boy remained still, refusing to meet the ice blue orbs glaring into him. He could feel it. /Ice blue? I didn't even look at his eyes/ Dana looked up and sure enough the eyes were icy blue.
The boy looked at him, Hycas saw something undefinable flash through those violet eyes. /Deja vu/ Hycas shook his head, he'd never seen the kid, he was sure of that. How could anyone forget that chestnut mane, those expressive violet eyes?
"Dana, you are a slave?" an affirmative nod, "Then would you mind being sold?" The boy shook his head, "Then, you will be given residence." With that Dana was led from the room by a tall man with emerald eyes.
A _slave_, could he do no better for himself? No, he'd always be a slave. That man - Hycas was it? - he could swear he knew him. But from where? He knew he'd never seen him before. Hycas was but a boy, like himself, but had high stature. If he'd ever known the boy he'd have never forgot him. Those piercing blue eyes, that tousle of dark hair. He was beautiful. /What? Beautiful?/ Dana's thoughts confused him. Life was confusing for Dana. He was sure that some of the people he'd met recently he knew, somehow...
"This is your room, Dana. I am Thesius, don't worry. Hycas is a nice man, but he gets what he wants," he told the violet-eyed boy.
Thesius's comments confused Dana. Hycas got what he wanted? Dana blinked at the taller boy, "What do you mean?"
Thesius looked at the innocent eyes, Dana truly didn't understand, "Don't worry, I'll make sure he's nice to you." With this Thesius turned and left. Dana blinked at the door, now firmly shut. Nice? Why? What could be in store for him? Dana decided to forget it and go to bed.
Dana woke up with the feeling of having rested deeply and thoroughly. What was it that Thesius had said about the slaver? That he'd make sure that he was nice to him? Why, what did this man do with his slaves? With that thought, Dana's cheerful mood dimmed.
The breakfast bell sounded and all the houses occupants headed for the kitchens. Dana put on a cheerful smile and joined the flow. Once in the dinning hall his eyes instantly sought out Hycas, for reasons unknown to him.
Hycas was surrounded by 3 other men, one of which he recognized as Thesius. The others were foreign to him. Though when he got closer he felt a pang of recognition, but sworn he didn't know who they were.
The men turned as Dana approached, Hycas motioned for him to sit. Dana complied and Hycas began introductions.
"This is Kerik," pointed to the blonde, blue eyed boy who smiled pleasantly.
"Sheing," pointing to the Chinese man, "and you already know Thesius." He said last indicating the emerald eyed man that had shown Dana to his room. "Boys, this is Dana."
The air was static. They all just stared at one another as the same look passed from one face to the next.
"Ano... I think... I have a feeling that I know you from somewhere..." Kerik said, with a tilt of his head.
"I too," Sheing said with a slight indifferent air.
"Ano... I am sure I have never met any of you before, other that my one day acquaintance with Master Hycas and Thesius-san," Dana said, frowning slightly.
"Hmmm... I think..." everyone turned to look at Thesius who, for the first time since they'd sat down, spoke, "I think that it could be that we know each other from a 'future life'..."
"I've heard of past life recognition, but future life?" Sheing said, scowling at his glass.
"Well, I usually have deja vu when I do something for the first time, because later I do it again... It is odd, I must admit, but..."
"Highly possible..." Kerik interrupted, "If like you say, our lives are now tied together and we will meet again after we are reborn..."
Hycas smirked, "Well if that is so, then I am cursed with the best companions possible. Come, Dana. I bid you men farewell," he and Dana then departed for Hycas's chambers.
