Freedom ' s Price Content . Gold exchanged hands , marking the deal complete . Makes - Many - Waves belonged to a new master . Sendrasa Llarys watched as her newest acquisition joined the group she ' d already purchased . She stared so long at Makes - Many - Waves that she drew the Argonian ' s eyes to hers . They both looked away quickly , almost instantly . Eye contact between master and slave would be punished by ten lashes . The distance between market and house was no more than seven miles , but it seemed an eternity to Sendrasa . She ' d counted the years impatiently until she could set up her own household and bring Makes - Many - Waves home . " Send the rest to the field house , " Sendrasa said . Her footman assisted her from her horse . " I want that one , " she waved a hand towards Makes - Many - Waves , " brought to my sitting room . She ' ll be my personal assistant . " " As you wish , madam . " Pulling her gloves off as she strode into her home , Sendrasa laughed . " Finally , yes ! It will be exactly as I wish . " How long since she ' d felt her lover ' s lips pressed against hers ? Shared in desperate , guilty caresses whenever they could steal away together ? How she ' d suffered once their intimacy became known ! As though , Sendrasa thought bitterly , seeing her beloved sold through the Archein s hadn ' t been punishment enough . Time passed with deadly slowness from that moment until Sendrasa finally located Makes - Many - Waves and bought her back . This time , no one could separate them . They belonged together . The door opened , and Makes - Many - Waves stepped forward , eyes downcast becomingly . Sendrasa walked past her , shut and locked the door , then turned . " I ' ve missed you , " she said softly . In a moment , they locked in a passionate embrace , Sendrasa touching Makes - Many - Waves ' s scales gently , searchingly . " Did they torture you , darling ? I swear they ' ll pay ! " Makes - Many - Waves shook her head , her frilled spine fluttering . " Seeing you heals me , my love . But the Archeins … . " " You ' re safe . Those traitors won ' t touch you again , " Sendrasa said . " Listen , my love , " Makes - Many - Waves said . " Your parents paid the Archeins very , very well . Their eyes are everywhere . They ' ll know you bought me , and they ' ll come for me . " " I ' ll free you , " Sendrasa replied . " You ' ll be safe ! " " It ' s not like that , " the Argonian whispered . " The Archeins don ' t care whether Argonians they sell are free or not . To live together safely , we must leave Morrowind . " " I see . Now kiss me . " As darkness approached , Sendrasa and Makes - Many - Waves began their journey , heading northwest toward the border with Skyrim . " Is Riften safe ? " Makes - Many - Waves whispered . They ' d traveled several days out of their way to shake off any possible followers . Before Sendrasa could speak , an arrow pierced her throat . She clutched at it with one hand , her eyes widened in surprise . More arrows followed swiftly , killing the Dark Elf long before she slid to the ground . " You ' re free now , " said an Argonian archer , stepping from the shadows . Makes - Many - Waves stared at him , unable to speak or move . " Did she hurt you ? " he asked , coming closer . " You can return to Black Marsh now . You ' re no longer a slave . " Collapsing across Sendrasa ' s body , Makes - Many - Waves sobbed .
