Worthy Prey

What is the difference between a servant and a slave?

Many cultivators would say that there seems to be truly little separating the two concepts. 

Most scoff at the very notion of ever being either.

Both positions involve working for a master or mistress by faithfully carrying out their orders with some even having to devote a lifetime to service.

It is not an easy task nor is it necessarily a rewarding one.

All creatures no matter how big or small are inherently selfish with wants, thoughts and desires of their own. 

Being a servant or a slave means that your desires are inherently less important than the ones of your masters.

Perhaps the only difference… was free will. 

Slaves do not have a choice in choosing their masters, but a servant chooses to serve. 

The servant picks the master just as much as the master picks the servant.

And I have made that choice.
