Chapter Text
It was a calm a night as ever in Cottonwood cove. Everyone of importance was asleep in their bed and most of the recruits were resting as peacefully as a low ranking legionary could inside of their simple, shared tents. The only creatures who dare make even the sound of a loud step within the small bit of Legion territory that reached across the Colorado River were the low ranking, unlucky foot soldiers who were tasked with keeping watch of the camp during the night and the even less fortunate slaves that weren't finished their labour or chores by the time the sun set. Any other person in the camp being awake at such a time would be considered irregular, which is one reason why that night could be considered 'strange'
You felt a strong push against your back and stumbled forward, the heavy, clanky chains around your wrists caused you to nearly lose your balance, but you used what little strength you had left to stay upwards, remembering the threats of the man behind you had made the first time you had fallen. You stopped walking for a moment while he unlocked the door to a reasonably sized fenced-in cage and hastily motioned you to step inside. The moment you stepped in the door was slammed and your worst fear, the fact that you had be desperately trying to somehow deny in your mind during your entire long walk after being captured, was finally confirmed. This was it. This was slavery.
