#1 of A world of Slaves
A simple start to a strange story.
Legalities: All characters and the overall story are copyrighted to me the author Jake Shadow Wolf, aka Jake Fedor, aka Jacob David Fedor. This story contains mature themes and some themes that mature readers may not condone including slavery, violence, rape, murder, fighting, and molestation. The author does not condone any of the things seen in this work seeing as how it is fictitious in nature. With all that said, I bid you a happy reading, and a slightly estranged welcome to A World of Slaves.
Hello there all, my name is James Wolfen, and I am a slaver. Depending on where you are and who you are you may find that somewhat offensive, however I assure you it's better than the alternative of my homeland. With that said, I believe I shall tell you my tale and that of many others as they were told to me, and let you be the judge of our actions with your own eyes. My tale begins five years before I was born when the world was rent into chaos as humanity suffered some sort of horrendous catastrophe that wiped out over half the populace, and changed the rest. My father, a respectable business man who wanted nothing more than to live a simple life, was one of the survivors affected by the event. He was changed from a humane into a kitsune, or nine tailed fox.
My mother, who was a mechanic at one of the local airlines and dating my father at the time, was turned into a wolf. She changed her last name to meet her new breed henceforth my own name. The two lived in Celestial City. It was named such because they had most of the astronomical nature and it was considered the closest city to the stars. It was also the first city to start implementing a new set of laws proposed by Governor Alfred von Stein. My parents disagreed with the governor, and my father's business, as well as my mother's expertise, allowed them to argue with him on equal footing, until the federal government of Alaria took over.
They implemented what was later known as the Slave Laws which said that all non-humans were to be categorized as slaves or free depending on their species and their abilities. There was no precedent for such a thing, so those transformed from human to animal just had to learn to deal. My father, a businessman by trade and at heart bought his first slave a year later, after a new law was passed that all people were to be treated as either masters or slaves.
My parents moved out of Celestial City after that and got a small farm where my father could keep his stock and they wouldn't be bothered thanks to a few bribes to the right officials. Now this is where I come into the story. I grew up in a slave owning household as such I've never known life without one, however I, like my father before me, am a man who pays the free cities to keep them free. There are three free cities on the border of Alarian soil, Eternia, Nesteria, and the city of Silver stone. All three have managed through the funding of private organizations and citizens from within the slaver states have managed to stay free for years. With that out of the way, I should tell you the difference between Masters, and Slaves.
A master is anyone who owns one or more slaves and knows how to manipulate political, social, and ethereal powers to keep free. A slave is anyone owned, who hasn't enough power to stay free, or lives under the protection of a master. With that said there are two types of slaves, serfs and true slaves. Serfs are people living and working for a master but free to trade their services to the highest bidder. True slaves belong to the household and as such all their children remain in servitude until they are released by their master. Most serfs belong outside the cities however some live within working as house slaves who take care of their master's home while the master works.
That in essence is the difference between Masters and Slaves in that Masters are truly free and Slaves have little to know chance of knowing true freedom. Now it's time I tell you my own tale, and let you view me as lowly or highly as you choose. For you see, I am a man who buys and sells others as property and keeps the slave trade going throughout the realm of Alaria. Our tale begins when I turned thirteen.....
