His reactions were near impossible he drew the sword clean across the guards hand that punched the slave, not cutting to remove the hand but injure it, he then pulled out a coin purse. He had well over one hundered thousand gold peaces total and in this purse was about 10 thousand. He threw the gold at the guard re sheathing his sword. He then walked over to the girl removing her blindfold and her bonds and touching her cheek gently with a single finger as a blue mark appeared "I'm sorry for this but to protect you I must mark you as my slave" he placed in her mind. Dragon magic was unique in the ways it couldn't be controlled. He then placed his finger on the boy above the mark where the moon was.
"They are now my slaves" He sent to the guards daring them to try stop him. He was in no mood to play with them and the next time he drew his sword he would kill the guard that resulted in it being drawn. The marks he gave the two were identical and he had no idea what the marks would give to them or what it would take, as each dragon mark was different in it's own way, but both resembled a blue crystal.
