Chained Beast [Part 1]

The trip to Seteste was long and rough. Some of the other prisoners tried to get smart with Kalliope and Ethi, but they were quickly put in their place by Kalliope's strength.

Though she was physically smaller than many of the other prisoners, she was much more powerful than most of them. Even without Arts or Magic to enhance her body, she was easily able to put others in their place.

None of the guards seemed to care about any roughhousing during transport. It seemed they followed a survival of the fittest mentality. Though she did doubt they would actually let any of the prisoners kill each other. After all, every person that died was lost profit.

Ethi seemed scared at first, but seeing Kalliope in action a handful of times allowed her to regain some sense of confidence. If she was not sure before, then Kalliope was definitely convinced that Ethi was strategically placed with her to keep her tame.
