Oear's journey as told by Oear. 

"Oh, okay, so we know you escaped, when did you know you want to escape? What lead up to that?"

"I was living with Ri-Lord Rosen. His father, the former Lord Rosen, had died about a year before the year I escaped. There was pressure from the council of nobles to, how they say it, clean the house, meaning getting rid and selling his father's slaves. At least the one's working in his close house. He did get rid of most of the house slaves in both the city and most of the country's estates, but refused to get rid of me. You see, while I had technically been Lord Richard's companion slave as a child, and later for his personal use, I had been bought by his father. I was also about 19 at the time, which is seen as somewhat old. The council, from what at the time I gathered, wanted to take some control away from the Rosen family, as they had began to gain more and more power since Lord Richard grandmother's time, and the council feared that power growing anymore. The fact he was keeping me, I believe, was seen by them as a rebellion and show of force. If Lord Rosen had such alternative motives for keeping me, I never saw them, but in that point of my life I would have never believed anything said against Lord Rosen.
