@a-grounder Those foul criminals from the so-called Ark were a blessing in disguise. At first it was a mere accident, Bard had come across the blood transfusion by mere mishap. Jasper offered to help save one of Bard's people by donating blood. Blood, the key to their freedom. After a couple of months recovery, Jasper had been summoned to Bard's office without notice. When he arrived, Bard wasted no time in explaining the use of the survivor's blood. Unlike his sister, he did not bother hiding his true intentions. He motioned for his guards to move in, blocking the exit. Walking up to him, he smirked. "Your people have caused mine a boat load of trouble, my friend. I am done waiting for you to donate your blood. I will take it myself." With that, his men drugged the boy and dragged him to the extraction room where they caged him. Not an hour later, the doctor was there beside him, fixing him up to some wires and a machine. The cries of grounders and criminals alike no longer phased him. They were melodies to him, if anything. Reminders that he was doing the best he could. He was half way through extracting a pint of Jasper's blood when a grounder burst through the air duct. Within an instant, he grabbed his (rather old but durable) sword and swung for him. How did he get in here? We're there others? He was strong. Very strong. The only way Bard could win this fight was with his knowledge of medicine- he grabbed the syringe and injected it into his neck, right where his last injection went. He shoved him into the cage where Jasper slept (now strung up beside an unfortunate grounder) and waited for him to wake up. "Mornin' sleepyhead." He flashed him a devilish grin.
