*As the walked down the market they would see sentries walking in groups of two walking in a manner of purpose like they never tire, never deviate from a single course as they walked in sync not a single missed step when they turned there heads turned followed by the mechanical body and shifting metal parts they had weird movements and weaponry he had never seen before they looked like long crossbows almost he didn't know what it was but he didn't stare for to long, but soon they reached the shop they were looking for the slave market, slaves of all kinds and of all ages were in cages reaching towards the ceiling and towards the back wall of the shop over 50 cages of different races of people and exotic animals.* `"Here we are, use your smell to find which slave is the most desirable to you."` *They were approached by the slave master*
Tierra
*The man walked over to them beside him were two mechanical sentry's steam bellowing and whistling from there backs with crossbow like rifles slinged over there back he smiles with a brightest smile, his aura was of evil he had a glasses and dressed like a business man of the 18-19th century clothing with a cane he speaks with a voice of nobility* `"How may I help you and your group are you looking for something for battle?! Perhaps something more nefarious for the misses, or you... We have slaves of all ages the youngest being the most pricey the oldest being cheaper but the battle slaves or guard slaves in-between!"` *He laughs as he sets his cane down with a crystal at the top of the wooden staff*
Nathan
*A boy with beaten down angel wings and scars with ragged clothes was in the back of one of the cages his wings had coloration of white his hair long dirty and black to his shoulders knees pulled to his chest every time he pulled his wings to cover himself as he shivered cold, and hungry shackled around his wrists and neck he was pulled forward with a loud gasp and groan as his body thudded against the ground the sounds of chain jingling as he was dragged by the chain towards the bars of the cage then beaten with a whip like stick for not coming when called they did this to all the slaves so ai and Faedon could see them he kept his face to the side with an angry expression, not looking at anyone and focused on the floor as his wings shuttered at the pain before screaming in agony as he was hit again.*
Edward
*She wasn't a very good judge of character just from visual appreance alone... Who was evil, and who was not? For example, that angel boy. He had much misery and despair but- he didn't look evil at all. She didn't feed to kill... She had only done so once in the tavern. She took the life of the man beating Faedon's unconcious body... And he tasted horrible. She would need two or three bodies at least... Roku couldn't even eat that much she felt... So what were they going to do with them? She'd settle for two... But which two? She'd slowly wander the cages and confinements before looking back to Faedon. Which was which? Who was good, and who was bad?*
Linda
*Walked along hearing the deafening screams of the slaves being beaten it made him close his eyes for a moment to collect himself before he smiles* `"Hmmm we are looking for the most evil slave you have here one's for murder or forcing themselves onto another person, I'll take two of those."` *Those were for Roku* `"Please apply slave crests to them, I'll use them for body guards."` *A lie, food for roku. He wouldn't talk much to man explaining everything to him you were supposed to keep it business that's it no small talk with these people. Walking towards ai and looked at the cages it was hard to tell from looks alone.* `"Use your nose... I guess we can settle for one that isn't evil can be just a blood bag for you."` *He could ask the slave master but whether he tells the truth or not is up in the air and if they meet her criteria also up in the air he heard the sound of whip beating on flesh he wanted to become violent so he wanted to make this quick*
Tierra
`"No issue at all! I'll get you the two murders you wish for or something else i see you want people with experience in taking life. Now now what shall the misses get."` *He walked a few feet behind Faedon and Ai, eying Roku he was interested in her as they walked how much could he sell her for he thought about money in his head, as he followed them as the angel boy growled at him like a rabid dog as he passed by with sharp pearly white fangs he took a step away slightly startled then went to the cage grabbed his hair kneeling down his leather glove clenching through his strands of hair* `"You listen here you little stain of shit, i will not be embarssed Infront of my clients he pulled his head against the steel bars grabbing his neck and choking him nearly unconscious before throwing his body down leaving the boy in a coughing and gasping fit and in a teary mess springing to his feet* `"So sorry you had to witness that sometimes they can be fiesty!"` *He smiles brightly dusting himself off picking up his cane, he moves his can threw the bars and thwacked the boy on the wings then his small body as hard as he could* `"Bad dog bad!"` *Before catching his breath fixing his tie and awaiting there choice*
Sandra
*Walked beside ai looking at the boy with wings she became slightly infatuated with his angel like wings, she began to write down in her notepad* `"He has pretty wings ai."` *She thought for a few moments before she heard the sounds of choking followed by gasps then aloud screams of terror and beating of flesh* `"Why do they hit them? Have they been bad to other's? Roku doesn't sense much bad people in cage's, Roku feels bad for some... Why are they in cage's..?"` *She flinches at each sound of beating at flesh and hugs ai side closer it reminded her of when she was locked away* `"Can we save someone even just one?"` *She wrote down as he glancing around and occasionally at the angel boy but not making it obvious*
Nathan
*After he had growled at the filthy slave master he was chocked and beaten he cried as the few extra hits bruised his body and nearly broke his bones, he crawled away from the cage bars weakly his wings dragging across the floor as he curled up scared, depressed, and hurting he cried silently not wanting to be beaten again, but as he crawled away he was soon dragged back by the collar around his neck and chocked by it if he resisted it so he came back crawling to the door holding onto the bar with one hand and another hand holding onto the collar around his neck his head facing down as tears fell from his bruised dirty face, why did he have to be here he was free just a few years ago but he was still here, in this slave market, being broken in the slave master called it, he was to rebellious to be sold yet he was afraid of being sold and being used like other slaves it's the only way for him to survive he thought as he gritted his teeth he can survive this he will but it all felt like no matter what he tried it was all in vain his stomach hurt from being starved his body bruised and bleeding from the constant beatings his angel wings were constantly broken so he could not fly as they heal every week from his angelic blood he could feel as if something or someone was constantly staring at him but he couldn't tell from where.*
Edward
*The cries and screams of the tortured individuals didn't bother her emotionally or mentally. Hopefully l, this would fuel their grudges so that they may survive and endure long enough to bring about their vengeance. And eye for an eye as they say. It would be a symbol of- wait what did he say? Why would they have those people here? Why would he specifically ask for a rapist as a body guard?? There were two women here. Shaking her head she would again look back towarda the cages... She never approved of blood bags.* "I can share with Roku.." *As long as she didn't kill them, she might.Coax just enough despair out of eating their appendages to nubs that they just might be palatable. She could tell by his expression, that he didn't want to be here any longer than he had to so she would settle for the two slaves. She would drink their blood, and Roku would eat their bodies so they didn't have to dispose of too much.

Poor little angel, how far you have fallen. She would glimpse at his crippled form and nothing more. As a lady and vampiress she was more than capable of controlling her own urges and hunger. It was an art form gifted to her kind by the previous generations before.* "Yes, he does..." *To her question, she looked at her with a soft nod* "You know why they hit him.." *She whispered, for Roku was once a slave too. She knew why. 

She was proud of her for gaining empathy as she was cold and silent before... But save one? The gold they colleted was just as much hers as it was theirs. She could do what she wanted with it and this would be an important lesson.* "If you want to save one, you must buy one... But you need to think of future obligations... Like in chess. If you save one, will they turn on you? Will you have a plan in case that happens? Will they turn on the ones you love? Will they help you? Will they hate you? You will be responsible for all of this. Are you sure you want to spare one?" *Think. She needed to think before making thar choice.*
Linda
*Tuned out all the screaming focused on business he didn't care about what happened around him no point in fighting and dying for nothing, this is the harsh world of the black market, it will always be this way he told himself as he turned to ai and nodded* `"You need choose one for yourself I choose one for Roku to..."` *He wouldn't say eat not here at least he didn't know the limits of this black market* `"Come use your nose my love see if you can smell one of these people in the cages if they have despair it'll be best if you each have your own."` *He whispered in her ear so only she could hear as he walked to the first cage as gently tugging ai along with Roku he the screams of the angel boy or man he didn't care like Roku did however a year before this he would have cared he would have saved these slaves has he lost all his empathy? To not feel anything? To not do anything? Shaking his thoughts away with his head as he waited for ai they came across three cages of convicted murderers, for ai to smell for despair.*
Tierra
*Walks to the cages and looks inside the three Faedon was looking in luckily for ai! There was one slave women that reaked of depression and sadness a convicted murder in the cage she was curled up in the back holding onto her knees shaking quietly as she refused to look at the cage bars the other two were just evil beings fueled with anger to everyone* `"So Im preparing the first slave you wanted, you second choice..? Will it be one of these??"` *He snaps his finger all three slaves were dragged out of there cages and forced on there hands and knees for them to observe*
Sandra
*Looked up towards ai as she said she knew why they hit him, she did but she was denial this was even happening perhaps a stupid question to ask ai she looked down as if she shouldn't have asked. Her small face was numb as she walked with ai being pulled along, as she said if she wanted to save one she must buy one, what if they turn on her on the ones she love? Her mind wandered she tried to think hard before she didn't have to think just listen so her new found freedom with her family has made her smarter but probably not smart enough to take care of someone she was still relatively numb and had little to no empathy but she was learning! It wouldn't happen overnight it would take time and she didn't see the progress like ai did but if ai pointed it out she would be happy to have made ai proud. Writing in her notepad* `"Roku... Doesn't know what to do... Roku isn't smart enough yet to oversee one... But Roku feels like she must do something Roku can't explain it and has never felt this feeling before so she ask ai for guidance."` *She looks down then back up to ai before writing again as slaves were brought Infront of them all on there knees she looked at them and smelled there scent all evil but one smelled absolutely delicious despair... It made her mouth nearly water* `"Can Roku look at the slave out the cell after ai make choice for food?"` *Roku pointed to the one she thought was most delicious* `"That one smells perfect for ai."` *She showed her book to ai.*
Nathan
*Rested his head against the bars to try and relax for a bit but as he did so his head was slapped away from the bars and one of the slave keeper grabbed his face and lifted it by underneath his chin so anyone buying could still see his face*
Brian
*Entered the market a man in clothing that of a pirate almost but most certainly assassin clothing he walked into the cage market he began to look at the slaves, peaking glances at ai and Roku he had no interest in Faedon but more interest in the small cute faces he could barely see in the back he walked along the cage bars and saw an angel he used the hilt of his sword and lifted the angel boys face up to look at him seeing the battered cute pale face he thought for a few moments but seeing the angel wings made him a fine catch there blood was akin to dragon blood maybe worth a sly bit more perhaps the reason no one has bought him yet. He rubbed his chin before getting up and walking down line to look at other slaves but keeping his eye on the angel boy he began to talk to a slave keeper about slaves and the angel boy possible prices to buy but still looking at ai and Roku occasionally.*
Edward
*He was really persistent about this wasn't he? She could pick apart those with the most despair but- how would she know if they were evil? As she was guided along she had developed a plan. She could figure it out by one question and one question alone... Too bad her dark gift wasn't reading minds.* "I want... A child molester. Who targeted little girls no older than 36 months.." *And she finally spoke. Her voice was that of, well, a young lady. Not womanly and seductive but deceptively cute, airy and youthful. The tiny tips of her white fangs peeked out from her lips as she spoke.

She was targeting the worst crime she could think of, so she didn't feel sorry for the torture. She was trying to conserve energy and supplies which was something she and Faedon weren't exactly on the same page about. She didn't care for features or representation but she would take the first one presented to her that met her requirements. They'd be good enough.* "It is your decision alone to make. You will have to choose the fate of another living being, this is how we learn. By trial... And by error." *She would only guide her so much... She had to make her own mistakes so that she could learn from them.* "But know.." *She had very good hearing after all* "You don't have all the time in the world before someone makes that choice for you.." *Many potential buyers were around, and the angel boy wasn't only sought after by Roku.

She had also seemed to miss his holy inheritance. He was the exact opposite of her element... So really, he could kill her of he was the angel she suspected him to be. She needed to consider that factor as well... In chess there were many variables and many moves your opponent could make, and she needed to think about all of them.* "If we are done here, shall we pay and be on our way?" *She asked calmly while turning to Faedon.*
Linda
*Looked to ai as she said child molester he was taken by surprise he never thought she would say something like that but it surprised him he was perfectly fine with it he nods in agreement to ai that's it, that was decided nothing more to it business was concluded he would wave away the three slaves Infront of them as he gently held ai's hand his eyes looking at the man eying Roku and Ai he grew suspicious they should really get going no one should stay to long in one spot like tourist's or others would also get suspicious, of there intentions.* `"Alright then we should get what you desire."` *He takes out a gold coin and hands it to the man waited for the slave to be brought to them he looked at ai and Roku going back and forth ai looking at Roku writing and replying, he thought he should ask so he would* `"Is everything alright you two?"` *He gently pets rokus head looking at them wondering what they were talking about.* `"Yes we're done by the way we should hurry."` *He paid the man and there slave was given with a slave crest tied to ai and Faedons voice any command would have to be followed and couldn't be contested he wrapped the chain around his hand the chain was linked to the mans neck shackle and he gently gave ai's hand a tug and nodded his head in the direction that it was time for them to leave.*
Tierra
*Was very persistent he wanted to see there reactions to everything he said see if he could make them more chatty with him anything he could get out of them but it was difficult they were harder to crack them a brick wall, he soon quietly took the payment brought out the slave and began to walk down the line of cages beating on any slave that looked at him wrong and attending to new costumer's.*
Sandra
*Looked at her book as she slowly lowered the pen down trial error? She would decide the fate of another being like something that was done for her she thought for a little longer but soon she was pulled away and began to walk with ai and Faedon she wrote down on her notepad* `"Roku wants to buy angel."` *She showed ai the book with a smile before writing again* `"Will everyone be ok with it?"` *In her head the angel would be a like a pet something she could do what she wanted with, she wouldn't treat the pet bad however she would do her best to make sure it's healthy fed and try to make it happy she showed ai the book again and look anxiously at the angel and the man that ai referenced to that wanted to possibly buy him*
Edward
"Yes. We're alright... We were just-" *Well, discussing that. She had outlined the risks, dangers and rewards so if she wanted to do this... She wasn't going to stop her.* "That's fine with me Roku..." *It should be easy to just buy another one on top of the ones they had but what was most intriguing was where she was going to keep him or put him. She trusted her to make good decisions, and wouldn't relaly oppose but they really did need to get a move on.* "Where should we go to eat?" *A common question that anyone outside of this group wouldn't question. How often was it that the words meant something entirely different than the meaning on that scale.*
Linda
*Stopped once they were outside the slaver market section and turned to them with a smile* `"We can speak on it later but for now let's leave the market we have over stayed our welcome, we can come back in an hour once your done eating. I say we go just outside the village for a small picnic to enjoy the forest scenery what do you say?"` *He says as he walks and gently pulls them along with him leading out the black market once again showing his guild coin and leaving back outside.*
Sandra
*Was pressured she looked back at the bloody angel who's face was against the cage bars as she moved along with ai and Faedon she wasn't able to write fast enough to tell Faedon to stop and turn around for the angel, but he probably knew something she didn't so she would have to suck it up for now and hope the angel is still there when they return for her to buy her face got red and fustrated.*
Brian
*Walked over to the slave master with a smile he fixes his attire to look more presentable as he speaks* `"How much for that angel over there sir name your price."` *He took out a notepad for his finances and a ink pen and began to take note of how much he was willing to spend for an angel slave did the slave master even know how much the angel was really worth? How did he even get his hands on one? Most of there race is extinct probably only a 100 in existence now.*
Tierra
*Approaching the man the slave master waved his cane around with glee as he did a 180 degree U-turn to face the man asking for a proposition* `"The angel is not for sale, then why is he on the sales floor you may ask it seems bad for business yes? But you'd be wrong hahah!"` *He laughed walking to the cage with the angel and grabbing the chain to the neck shackle* `"He's on the sales floor for his looks, he almost looks like a female with how stunning his youthful face is so while we can't sell him because we're still breaking him in, he has some fight left in him we sell his body to high paying customers to use while of course under intense supervision with our finest sentries, it's said even laying with an angel can give you a boost in all your abilities, even physical feats of prowess are said to be boosted from laying with one."` *He nodded*

*Stepping to the side* `"So with that in mind do you wish for any other service... With the angel?"` *He leaned in whispering to the man in his ear before stepping back with a chuckle and smile slamming the tip of his cane down*
Brian
*Sits there tapping his foot this guy was chatty but that's how a sales rep should be he guessed shrugging as he walked over to the cage and it's bars kneeling down to look at the cage bars he smiles softly looking at the angel as his face was pulled closer* `"What if I was to offer to buy him not broken in? Name your price slave master."` * Stated he didn't care if the angel was broken in or not he wanted the angel for reasons he wouldn't disclose to the man* `"Is that an option?"` *Standing up again to face the slave master he tapped his foot slightly impatient all this talking the man was doing was unnecessary just get to the point*
Tierra
*Shaking his head to the man* `"I apologise good sir I can't in good faith give you a defective product that has yet to be broken in, it's bad for my business and anyone seeing one of my sold slaves acting out on the streets gives me a very bad name along with my business. I'm sure you understand now if you don't have any further business with the angel I can show you other offers I have we have plenty other's that might catch you eye.*
Brian
*Growling fustrated under his breath he decided to barter instead of just saying name your price because this man was stubborn he knew what he had then and wasn't going to give up a constant revenue stream so easily* `"50 gold coins."` *He stated that in this country was a lot of currency but it was denied...*
Tierra
*Denying the offer outright without hesitation he couldn't trust someone so fixating on one simple beast* `"Your offer though enticing... I'd say to at least have a taste of the product before you buy, I'll lend you the angel for 30-45 minutes to use as you please for 5 gold once you test it maybe we can reach an agreement."` *He was seeing if he could get him to pay for services to see how the man would react would he fold, accept or go higher on the price.*
Brian
*Thought about the offer it would be rude to deny such an offer in this world* `"I'll take the angel for 45 minutes to taste it as you say and we can talk when I'm done about a possible purchase yes?"` *The slave master nodded and he handed the five gold to him the sentry's came around ter'ran and the angel as the cage was opened and the angel dragged out 7 sentries came 3 on either side and one sentry grabbed the chain and began to lead ter'ran to one of the rooms*
Nathan
*Was sitting there quietly as they were bartering his life Infront of him and what they would do with him his eyes began to get misty as if everything was fading away, he was zoning out why did this have to happen to him, as the cage door was opened his chain was pulled he gasped and was pulled out as it hurt his neck his knees dragged across the floor he was forced to stand as the sentry pulled the collar up he whined and whimpers knowing what might come to pass as he limps along behind the sentry as they made it to the room two sentries guarded the door inside two on the outside it was normal bedroom with chairs a table a couch bathe and bed the chain was dropped he held onto his arm as his broken wings were low to the ground he looked down quietly*
Brian
*Watching the sentries do there jobs were amazing to watch a feat of mechanical engineering no human could ever hope to accomplish in one life time, he followed the robots to the room once inside he stood behind the boy and moved him forward pushing him onto the bed stomach first and leaned over pinning his head down with one hand as the boy gasped, he let go of his head turning him around on his back he screamed in pain as he was laying on his broken wings.* `"Sorry about that... Did it hurt... I'm sorry for what I have to do..."` *He pushed the boy down into his wings as screams of agony and torture filled the room meanwhile up above Faedon and his group were talking about what they should do.*
