As they approached the 3,000 year old granite castle the snow on the ground got thicker.  The unmistakable and satisfying crunch of the thick white powder.  The enormous granite gatehouse slowly came into view the gate opening slowly.  It had been a long trek but William was no fool he knew that human body was a fragile thing and he had allowed her a few rest stops, after all a worn out slave is no use to him at all especially when she had cost so much.

By the time they had got back to the castle he had adopted his glamour once more he stepped into the 20 foot high gate house, a servant in simple black clothing with a leather collar stepped forward and handed over a steel spiked collar bowing his head as he did so.  It appears William had sent a psychic message forward to prepare for his return, something he did often. 

Once she had made it to his side once more he stepped close to her and ran his hand over her cheek with a soft smile, this then changed to a grimace as his fingers hooked round the current collar with chain and ripped it of in a single smooth movement sending the nuts and bolts that held it together falling to the floor making a tiny sound each that was amplified as the multiple pieces of metal fell to the floor.  he then very slowly brought his other hand up with the open collar and put it round the back of her neck then clicking it shut.  He then pricked his finger intentionally on one of the spikes allowing a single drop of blood to well up on the tip of his finger this he then let drip onto the latch of the collar.  Powerful blood magic was then set in motion, his blood sealed the collar and only his blood given either willingly or through death by another’s hand could unlock it.

Once she had been correctly ‘owned’ he took a single step back and to the side allowing her to see the castles keep rising up into the night sky, the snow whipping round in the night sky.  He held out his arm with his hand flat displaying the sight
