The days of freedom and equality for all were over, that much is clear when one explores the slave markets of Retribution. Of course those that were on sale were not exactly human but rather creatures from myth, legend, and bed time stories. Such was the way of the world nowadays, the supernaturals were exposed and all their former enchantments that had hid them were gone.<br/><br/>The fall of Solace was simply the beginning of it all, the cat was out of the bag on supernaturals and everyone blamed them for the destruction of that cityâ€¦ things quickly escalated into war. The whole world was soon dragged into it and some nut job decided to push the button. Now the world was barely anything though humans â€œwonâ€, funny how they can say that when theyâ€™re living in small cities cluster around the small green patches left on the planetâ€¦ Problem was only the wealthy get to live in the greenest sections of such cities.<br/><br/>Adam Serasin was one of those wealthy aristocrats having made his wealth through the profitable slave trade as well as their exceptional training and breeding skills. The Serasin family is actually one of only a handful of people allowed to breed supernaturals in this day and age. It was part of the reason he was in one of the markets that day, he was looking for new merchandise or perhaps something for personal use by himself and his wife. He was actually supposed to meet Meredith later in one of the Coliseumâ€™s VIP boxes.<br/><br/>He didnâ€™t announce his presence when he arrived at the slave market, actually entering has quietly and inconspicuously as possible as traders had a habit of hiding away their â€œLow qualityâ€ slave and bringing out their â€œgood stuffâ€. He did not care about what they thought and usually found some of his best as hidden jewels in the â€œlow qualityâ€ merchandise. Even still they knew his reputation and some were subtle adjusting their prices to get more from him when they thought he wasnâ€™t looking, Adam was making note though of the changes.<br/><br/>Off in the distance, cheering crowds and assorted other noise rose from the Coliseum indicating a good match in progress. Adam wasnâ€™t really a big fan of the Coliseum except for the occasional match or two but aâ€¦ friend and business associate did enjoy them. Adam and Meredith were actually meeting him later thus the reason they were going to the Coliseum that day.<br/><br/>Adam checked his watch and saw how it was getting close to the time he was supposed to meet up with his wife. So far he hadnâ€™t really seen anything that stood out to from the current stock of the market. Still he decided he would make one last loop around the stands, cages, and auction block; maybe heâ€™d get luckyâ€¦
