Person For Sale [Auction]

[Arkelos 1027]

A scroll hangs on the many noticeboards of Anthos, bearing the same image and letter.

 

 

~* Person for Sale *~

Allow me to be frank, this woman, known as Ahri is for sale to the highest bidder, a young lady who is quite alive and in good shape. She is comply with my orders and will not be harmed.

 

Bidding starts at 300 mina, and I will accept any and all staffs you have gotten from the Scourge of the North for a 500 mina increment boost to your bid.

 

Keep in mind, all transactions are to be done in the Cloud temple, bearing in mind that if I do not return to her after a select period of time, no matter how late I arrive back to get her. She will die, so it is best to pay up, shut up, and allow me to send her to you.

 

Any acts of violence after the fact will result in her Orphanage burning. There will be no mercy if any of her friends act out in her sake.

 

Once again, bidding starts at 300 mina. Her life hangs in the balance. You have seven elven hours.

A ranger steps up to the poster, writing.

 

"Would you take gold and Iron, as well as Coin?"

A small note is then placed by a Mali child. The note reads:

 

"Iron and coin, but mainly the staffs are what I care for the most, Iron will be priced at 10 mina per ingot"

Silus scratches his chin, seeing the poster.

 

"Hm..."

*A note is pinned on one of the posters. Royal violet ink composes elegant cursive script that runs down the silky reed-paper. The writing is neat, very legible, and understandable by even a peasant*

 

"Dear 'One In Black',

 

I fear you have made a grave mistake. In taking the woman known as 'Ahri' from me, you have disturbed a power far beyond your own. If you wish to go on with more than one arm attached to your creator-forsaken body, you will leave her at the cloud temple with no more than a scratch. Should I find you, I will rip you limb from limb, and string your remnants on display all throughout the realm. 

 

If you hurt her, or kill her, I will find you, and then, I will not kill you, but I will render you a husk of a being that not even your own mother could look upon without pure disgust. I will find your family, your livelihood, and everything you hold dear, and set it alight before your eyes. Thereafter I will cut out your eyes, so that you cannot see. I will cut out your tongue, so that you cannot speak. I will leave you only your ears, so that you can hear the screams of the women, the mocking of the children, and the sickened grunts of the men. 

 

You will walk this realm a mutilated shell regardless of your actions now, so turn yourself in and spare yourself the running.

 

You will fear me.

 

-T.A."

[Onslaughted 920]

Pulls out a pouch of minas.

 

"1000 minas!"

[Pinsir99 526]

"1500 minas."

[Arkelos 1027]

-Snip-

The letter has been taken by the Mali child, she brings back the letter to The One in Black, to which she then leaves, waiting a while before sending another child back.

"You now have five Elven hours to bid on her, and to T.A, she will not be sent back, not without what I want. Pay up, or watch her be sold to a possible slaver. I am not cruel, she has followed my instructions well and will not be harmed.

Hurt Me and she dies

Everything she knows shall fade

Lifeless she shall become

Prisoned in the Nether

Mortality wanes

Everything perishes."

[Onslaughted 920]

"1700. minas."

[Pinsir99 526]

"1800 Minas."

[Onslaughted 920]

"2300 minas."

[Hanrahan 2983]

*The child does not return to you. In a matter of hours, another note finds itself pinned to a poster. All that is on what appears to be a parchment of human skin, reads:*

 

"Fool."

[Arkelos 1027]

The One in black looks at the human skin letter, sniffing it as she goes to gnaw on the flesh.. Vile, its vile, but her mind and senses are elsewhere as she realizes the child wont be coming back. She stares at Ahri, teeth bared.
