The Mark of Treve
"I have never seen a brand of Treve," I said.  "It is rare," said Ena, proudly.  "May I see your brand?" I asked.  I was curious.  "Of course," said Ena, and she stood up and, extending her left leg, drew her long, lovely white garment to her hip, revealing her limb.  I gasped.  Incised deeply, precisely, in that slim, lovely, now-bared thigh was a startling mark, beautiful, insolent, dramatically marking that beautiful thigh as that which it now could only be, that of a female slave.  "It is beautiful," I whispered.  Ena pulled away the clasp at the left shoulder of her garment, dropping it to her ankles.  She was incredibly beautiful.  "Can you read?" she asked.  "No," I said.  She regarded the brand.  "It is the first letter, in cursive script," she said, "of the name of the city of Treve."

Rask of Treve lifted the last iron from the fire.  It was much larger, the letter at its termination some one and a half inches high.  It, too, was white hot.  I knew the brand.  I had seen it, on Ena's thigh.  It was the mark of Treve.  Rask of Treve had decided that my flesh should bear that mark.
