"I'll be fine, just lay back down." Meeta answered. When Lani done so, Meeta told the rest of the story.
"Well it didn't last, when I turned sixteen, I went to her room as usual, bringing some treats. That when I caught another slave, similar to my age, murdering the mistress, with poison. That...when I snapped."
Meeta played it out in the back of her like it was only yesterday.
"The mistress wasn't a gentle woman nor concerned herself about whether I should have freedom or not. Yet at least she had been someone, who gave me a purpose beyond simply being a slave. So in rage I attacked her killer without restraint. It was a clumsy effort but in the end I took down him. The guards that accompied Master Kaa came in had to pry me off from the beaten assassin before I could strangle him to death.
Seeing how loyal I was to his favorite lover and even caught her murderer, he decided to use my discovered talent. So he have me trained as fighter and gladiator, under the promise I would be given freedom eventually. That...why Lani, I didn't yield throughout our match back at the arena days ago."
