Lexi stood paralysed, her eyes wide with fear as she tried to will her limbs to move. The room had bare stone walls with a thick black carpet covering the floor. It was warm even though there was no place to make a fire. The only thing in the room was a large four poster bed with small tables on either side.
Lexi was a member of the Lightning Warriors, an all female band of highly trained warriors dedicated to defeating all evil that threatened the realm. Although Lexi was only 5 foot 5 inches tall, she was the most skilled of the Lightning Warriors.
She was 28, slender with long dark blonde hair which reached to the middle of her back, light blue eyes and round, firm, 32EE breasts.
Her armour was a simple grey breast plate with a white lightning bolt emblazoned on it, fitting tightly to her chest, which was secured by leather straps that went from one shoulder to the other by the back of her neck and another which went round her lower back, a plain, short leather skirt and sandals. At her waist she wore a short steel sword.
Lexi had entered the tower near the dismal village of Sadd, which stood on the very edge of the realm, after hearing stories of a Mage who had come from the lands in the east and taken up residence in the old watch tower about a mile from the town. The tales told of evil magics been practiced and of anyone going near the tower never returning.
After entering the tower Lexi had found every door locked and no sign of anyone. She had climbed up the stairs finding all the doors locked until she had found an open door. Lexi had drawn her sword before entering but no sooner had she entered the room than the door had slammed shut behind her and a strange gas had appeared from nowhere filling the room. Lexi had tried to turn back towards the door to escape but found that her legs couldn't move and gradually, as the gas filled the room from floor to ceiling, she found the rest of her body been paralysed.
Eventually the gas had disappeared, leaving Lexi paralysed at the foot of the bed with her sword still in her hand. Lexi felt angry, she was angry she had been trapped so easily. Wht had she come into this unassuming room she raged to herself in her head.
Lexi never heard the door open but suddenly someone walked passed and stood between her and the bed. Lexi assumed he was the Mage. He was young looking, maybe 25, about 5 foot 9 with short brown hair and dark blue eyes. He wore a loose black robe that covered him from neck to feet and tied around his waist with a piece of red cloth.
"Very nice," he said as he looked Lexi up and down. "Perfect in fact."
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Mage you have come looking for and now your new Master and you will serve me in any way I desire. You may speak now."
"I will never serve you!" Lexi blurted out as she suddenly found she had the ability to speak again. "You will never get me to serve you,"she said angrily, trying to hide her fear and annoyed at been sized up like a piece of meat.
"Oh, you will." The Mage smiled, eyeing Lexi up and down again. "The gas that has paralysed you has also left with no free will and you will now obey only my commands. Let me demonstrate. "
