"Even if I did the crowd would burn this place down if they didn't get to see the fight. Plus Gabriel deserved it." I said back to him.

He could only sigh. If you hadn't guessed Gabriel was indeed the Gabe's reincarnation. Not only did he smell 5 times worse but he also looked the same and had the same attitude as he did before.

The only happy thing I could figure out about meeting him was that he didn't remember me from the past life.

Still it didn't keep him from acting like a complete bitch towards me. You see during the auction I was unfortunately bought by him to fight in this arena I was currently in.

According to what Gaia said he should be the one that is going through the {empowering} still no clue what the means but I have a guess at what it means.

The day he bought us he did something to us…something dark…darker than anything I have ever experienced. That is coming from a guy who trekked his way through Tartarus.

FLASHBACK:

I sat quietly in my cell as my I glared at the floor hoping it would explode into a billion pieces.

My anger at a new max as I thought back to that sickening face of Gabe as he wore his fancy robes and threw golden coins around like it was rice.

His disgusting smell still lingered in my nose as me smelt like tobacco and wine, still I couldn't do anything as I was restrained by my handcuffs.

But I guess you couldn't say this was much of an improvement for him.

All he got was money he still had his disgustingness that I saw some of the people around him grimace at.

Yet I still remember the pain on my cheek as I glared up at him as he smiled down at his five new slaves. He didn't even give the others a chance to look at us as he wasted 20 gold coins on all of us.

Apparently 4 gold coins for a child slaves is a high price, for an adult it could range to the thousands is what Isaac told me.

Still as I glared up at him in my own spite he slapped me across the face just like he used to.

This time however there was an unknown power behind it as my body hit the floor like a rock as I blinked a few times as my cheek instantly swelled.

His hand like hard iron as it struck me, this was not the hand of a human. That was when I began to think about Gaia's words about {empowered} people.

Something was not human about him even back in my world but now it was physical. Still I remember his words as he looked down as my unyielding glare.

'Pitiful human. Keep looking at me like that and you won't live past tonight.' Is what he said to me and right then I saw an evil aura about him that made me shake in fear as I looked down away from him as my body shook.

Old memories stirring in me that reminded me of the times he hit me and abused me. Yet that was only a day ago and I had not slept a wink that night, looking at that gaze that I had seen many times before.

One that said we were disposable and he didn't care about us at all. Like we were toys and he could play with us all he wanted.

That was when I began to realize what being a slave really meant. To obey orders on a while, to be beaten and not complain, to have someone you hate control you for all your life.

That was begin to manifest in my mind and to be honest my will kind of crumbled. I wanted to live past this place so I promised myself to not disobey any commands and to not get beaten until I had power behind me.

Once I had power then I would free myself from this place.

'As long as I have power I can be free. As long as I have power nobody can tell me what to do.' Was my thought as I pulled my feet to my chest and stared out over the tops of my knees.

My being slowly changing as an inner darkness I had never felt before slowly swelled inside me.

I stayed like this for a few hours until someone finally came and got me from my cage. My dark demeanor quickly hiding behind a mask of emotionlessness as I was dragged and roughly shoved down a hallway.

I only listened to the sound of the metal guard's boots behind me as he pushed me along as I stared ahead of me. Soon I found myself at a large metal door. I could only stare at it as I felt a dark presence coming from the room.

"What is this place?" I asked the guard as he simply chuckled.

"Oh this is Gabriel's personal dungeon that all slaves get to go to on their second day." He said as I shivered in fear. Fear of what was to become of me in this place.

"Now move boy." He said as the door was opened by two guards inside the room wearing black clothes and hoods.

Soon I was thrown together with the rest of the slaves that same age as me which number to about 30 or 40. Each of us wearing the slave collar that would snap our necks at any second.

"Now then since you all are there let's begin the marking ceremony." Said a hunchback old man that looked like a mutant freak.

I assumed he was the main torture person seeing the way he looked, still I said nothing as my survival instincts were on follow all commands given to me. Yet I had no idea the pain that awaited us the next 24 hours.

Soon each one of us had to be strapped down to a table in the shape of a human with its arms and legs spread eagle so we wouldn't move.

They tied the leather straps so tight I was beginning to lose feeling in my hands and feet as I struggled in the straps.

Even on my survival setting at the moment I was in no mood to be tortured. I had enough of that in Tartarus.

Yet as I struggled and screamed I was soon strapped down with one more strap on each arm and leg as well as my lower torso.
