Xisis didn’t have slaves. Such barbarism was outlawed in Silverlight—plus, he would never keep someone for longer than a few months in such a state anyway. He didn’t need to enslave people, because he could offer boons unavailable to even emperors. All the wealth in a nation could not buy an extra hundred years of life on a backwater planet—but come to serve Xisis, and he could double a mortal’s lifespan with a flick of his claws.
