Master Artificer Alex Randall:
Former Elf enchanter and Alex's new slave, Erami'lara Uthilamina:
Opening post:
Alex walked through the forest, his prey not far ahead of him and his giant mechanical wolf followed next to him. He readied his rifle and aimed it at the tree that his prey had claimed as a resting spot. He had chased her for quite a few days now without giving her much rest. He had defeated her in battle an rather than kill her, he decided to make her his slave. She had escaped him though before he could make a collar for her, but now he had one and she would put it on willingly. He knew she was exhausted and demoralized. They had passed several former Elvish military encampments which were now in ruins and filled with humans. The Elves had lost this war and that was obvious.
With a pull of the trigger magic filled his rifle and empowered the bullet in it as it took flight. Upon impacting the tree, it exploding with a thunderous boom. There was no fire and the tree feel to the side so it didn't land on his prey. His prey would be stunned temporarily though, so he took hold of the side of his wolf and it closed the distance that had been between Alex and his prey. Upon reaching her the wolf leaped past her while grabbing her glaive. Alex let go of the world's side and hopped back onto the ground. He stood five feet from his prey and spoke. "It's over little Elf. You've lost both the battle and the chase. You're exhausted, hungry, thirsty, but most of all weak. So you have a choice now: become my slave and put this collar on and I'll give you a nice vegetable stew I've been saving, or keep trying to run until you can't even stand and then I'll put the collar on you. Either way you're going home as my property so just submit to me."
Alex held out the silver slave collar he had enchanted during the hunt. He also held out a sealed bowl which had the stew in it. He wanted her to crawl over to him to take the collar and he wanted to see her defeated face. She had earned this punishment with how many she had wounded and killed.
