<span style="font-style: italic">It was one of those days in the market for the slave traders and even the slaves especially those with high prices on their necks. One in particular Aliska was extremely prized by her current master although he would sell her in a heartbeat if he could get the right buyer. Money talked to this man when nothing else ever did.<br/><br/>Although today the poor thing was paying the price for her masters abusive ways, standing naked on his little stage, with a huge metal collar visible around her neck. Her long, flowing blond hair falling down around her face as she stared at the floor. The collar was just tight enough that any yanking would make her scream out in pain and her back bore the evidence of what he was quite capable of when pushed. Her soft, velvet looking pale skin, bore scars from his whip and a few cuts from a dagger he once used were made quite evident as he made her parade around like some show animal.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Isn't she a gem. This creature isn't what she appears ladies and gentleman, no she might look human but trust me she is very far from it. Even look at her eyes, their tri-colored what human has such eyes. But I will have her show you her little secret hows that?"</span><br/><br/>He smirked some jerking Aliska back to his side a slight whimper of pain leaving her pale, soft lips as she looked back at her master wonder what he was going to ask of her. His eyes told her enough that she had better do it or else she was going to regret it more than ever. His hand came to the collar and she jerked her down closer, but it was her nerves that were worrying her right now. Aliska wasn't just human, and a wereleopard the girl had mixed blood as well. She was part fae and drow which meant she could wield magic if and when she could control it that is, but usually her master just blew it off as some stupid trick.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Shift now or else."</span><br/><br/>The tone was harsh and it made the girl flinch before she lowered her eyes and felt her collar released so she knew he wasn't holding it anylonger. But she was already scared and anyone within a few miles was going to feel an unstable amount of magic flowing out from her, though she herself had no real control which wasn't good either. The sudden sounds of cracking, ripping was soon heard as her body began to shift. Her back lengthening as she dropped to all fours. Arms and legs getting wider, more toned and musclar than they had been while her fingers shortened and her hands seemed to get wider as they changed into what seemed like massive paws.<br/><br/>Her legs following right along with her hands and arms, as those razor sharp claws came out and dug into the stage she was on. Soon her face seemed to extend just slightly, her nose shifting out onto the end of her muzzle as it elongated from her body and those sharp, powerful fangs grew out over her lips. Those eyes never shifted from the tri-colors only seemed to get darker as her skin soon busted open, the warmth of the liquid that seeped out ran down her form as a lush coat began to appear. It was a gorgeous snow white with rich grey and black spots. Replacing that flowing blond hair that had just been seen earlier. A long, flowing tail was also appearing as did two soft round ears on her head as the shift soon came to a stop. But the tightness of the collar around her thick neck was hurting her and the beautiful snow leopard soon cried out in pain as did the magic flowing through her blood.<br/><br/>A woman and man both with pets of their own at their sides was noticing they were howling and crying out as blood slowly began seeping out along their fur. Any small cut the animals or even any human had was an easy target for her especially not being able to control it. The two looked at each other than their pets before turning to watch what was going on at the stage now quite knowing what to do. Both Aliska, and the large wolf and tiger with their owners were whimpering and crying out in pain, while Aliska's pathetic owner only smirked ignoring her and continued on with his sale. Even the other peoples pets he didn't pay much mind too or even think how this was happening.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"See who wouldn't want such a majestic and beautiful creature like her ladies and gentleman so what do I hear. Anyone come on this is a rare creature and will serve you well I assure you."</span></span>
