Mirai stood before the crowd of noble humans and vampires all aiming to purchase a young slave. The stage she stood on was made of dark rose wood planks and from what she could see through her long lashes it looked as if she was in an Oprah house. Almost every seat was full of the invited guests. One had to be on the list to get in so only the elite could get in. Her head was down slightly and her silken long locks of gold blond hair was up in pig tails that hung down to the ground. Her skirt, if you could call the cloth a skirt, was simply two pieces of light purple cloth held around her waist by chain links. Her top was barely able to cover her since it was the same type of cloth wrapped around her. Soft blue eyes gazed at the dark shadows of those around her and her clasped hands shook slightly in fear. Tanned skin glistened in the stage lights as little Mirai prayed for a kind person to purchase her. She glanced to her guardian angel Morning Sun who was touching her shoulders. Others could not see the angel and that brought comfort knowing her only friend would be with her forever.

From one of the balconies of the Oprah House, Cain Nightroad watched as several humans and vampire began to bid on the little slave girl before them. He sat loosely in the chair, a bored hand resting under his chin as his eyes darted across the house. For a moment, he held little interest in this display, bored with the event after it had only just begun. Slave tradings were never very interesting to him as it entailed the same thing repeatedly. The bidders bid, the slave is bought, the end. And yet, he found his eyes tracing back towards the stage to this particular little girl. Her frame, her hair, her eyes--
"Yes" he whispered softly to himself, eyes widening for a split second as realization dawned upon him. In an instant, he rose, and shout out with a booming voice towards the stage with intention to silence the entire house, making his bid.
"100,000,000 DENAR!"
Cain stood in the balcony, his dark eyes narrowed, fixed on the girl, and mouth tweaked into a slight smile as he awaited the response of the trader.

Mirai stood calmly on the stage as the price on her went up and up. After an hour the price was up to 90,000 Denar. She waited for the whole thing to be over. A loud shout made her jump and her head snapped up showing full face to the crowd of people gathered. She couldn't make out any of the face due to the lights shinning into her sapphire blue eyes.
The man on stage with her gained a smirk as he called out, "The current bid has been raised to a startling 100 million Denar! Do I hear 150?!"

Cain's small smile remained as the auctioneer called out for anymore bids. He was very sure of himself; no person would pay that much for a slave. They probably thought he was just crazy.
Yes, soon enough that little girl would be a new addition to his plans.
"How interesting," he whispered to himself, "That fate has returned your child to me, Abel. This turn of events shall be rather intriguing."
His smile turned to a sadistic grin as he thought of his brother, but then quickly reverted itself as he awaited either someone else to bid or for the auctioneer to call it over.

Kage sat in one of the lower rows, his posture lax and his eyes holding little purchase or interest in those things happening around him. Truthfully he'd almost nodded off until something, or someone, caught his eye. He wasn't sure what it was about this particular slave that was being auctioned, but there was something odd. Perhaps this had been the reason Her Majesty had sent him here, to buy this girl.
But the bidders were all offering paltry sums. As soon as Kage was about to raise his hand for a scant twenty thousand dinar he heard a male voice ring out. Kage, along with most of the others near him that he could see looked up to see the handsome blond who had just offered one million dinar for a slave. 'This could be fun,' he thought to himself as an intoxicating beautiful smile formed on his pale pink lips.
His sat down again, facing the auctioneer and lifted his hand lazily. "One hundred seventy million dinar for the girl. I wasn't going to bid at first, but I've had a change of heart for one reason or another." Midnight blue hair and eyes the color of oceans that were fathoms deep were the predominant features of this methusalah. And those dark blue eyes were focused completely on the girl on the stage, she would be his, if he had to serve the rest of his life just to pay back the treasury.

Dietrich Von Lohengrin stood with his arms across his chest and a devilish grin upon his face. He took a few measured steps and easily sat down in the chair next to Cain. His voice was careful and precise, his movements not those of a vampire but of a very cautious and skilled Terran.
"Why so interested in that particular slave Master Cain? She's a pretty toy to be sure but I can hardly see how she suits our ends." Dietrich's tone was careful, not accusatory. If Cain wanted the girl then she was of some importance, he merely wanted to know how important that was.
He noticed the vampire who bid against Master Cain and instantly his sadism took control of his rational mind. "Maybe we should get that one. I'm sure his brother would be more than happy to see him. One of the Empress's pets that one is. It would deal her a great blow to lose that one. Of course, he'd make a beautiful puppet, and a useful one to be sure."

Mirai felt her body start to shake. It was scary being up here and the fact that someone else was shouting made her jump. Every shout just made her flinch and jump. 'I want down.... please just let me go backstage...' she silently begged the people around her. As she stood there the auctioneer used the end of his whip to tilt her head up and show off her face. Her sun kissed skin tinted pink with a light blush on her cheeks as her hands flew up out of reflex to guard herself.
He glared knocking her hands down sharply with the end of the whip. "It's she lovely! Come now ladies and gentlemen this is a rare beauty. So docile and enchanting. The current bid is 170 is the current bid! Do I hear 200 million!"

The small smile that had played upon Cain's lips now disappeared to a thin line as he heard another person bid on his toy. He raised up his hand slowly, smiling confidently once more as he called out his next bid. His tone was polite and not nearly as forceful as the first, but one could tell that the words coming from his mouth dripped with a threatening venom towards his bidding opponent, silently warning him to withdraw if he knew what was good for him.
" Yes, quite lovely indeed, sir!" he called towards the auctioneer. "I shall bid two-hundred and fifty million, if you please." He did not smirk as several of the audience members gasped and murmured, still focusing on the stage.
Upon being questioned by Dietrich, he smiled, closing his eyes as he spoke. "Inquisitive as always, my dear Puppet Master, but I'm afraid my intentions with that girl are none of your concern for the moment. I am merely looking for a gift for another one of my dear friends, and no girl but this one shall do." His eyes narrowed as his gaze returned to the trembling little girl and her trader who was holding that whip slightly to close to her for comfort. The man had best not injure his merchandise in any form if he wished to keep his head fitted on his shoulders.
He had no intention of telling Dietrich of his plans for the girl just yet. He was not stupid enough to give such personal information away so frivolously to one of the members of the Order, especially to a Terran such as Dietrich Von Lohengrin.

"Two-hundred sixty million." Kage's voice range out with the smooth sound of a well played violin before the auctioneer even had a chance to ask for further bids. He had ignored the threatening tone of the other. It made no difference. He'd be good as dead anyway if he failed. He didn't think he'd be able to take the disappointment if he didn't come back to the Empire with this girl. The Empress seemed to think this was very important, though he didn't understand why. Her words had been strange, cryptic even. 'This is a royal edict Kage Mayonaka. I have reason to believe that the Order has an interest in the slave trade going on under the Pope's nose. Go there and investigate. Oh, and procure yourself some food on the Empire's expense, no matter the expense.'
How clever Her Majesty was. She'd known Kage's eye for 'talent' and had sent him instead of Ion who probably wouldn't have even looked twice and the girl on stage. Those midnight blue orbs cast themselves up to the balcony where two men now resided. He smiled innocently and turned his head back to the stage. "I wonder who those two are that they have such money to spend. Could they be with the Order?" Kage whispered to himself, the words seeming unintelligible to those around him.

None of his concern for the moment. So Master Cain did have something big planned. No, he wouldn't spend this much of the Order's funds on a present, Cain wasn't exactly frugal but he didn't spend what they'd procured so easily. She was important, very much so. Cain had given more information that he had intended, but only enough to pique the Puppet Master's interest.
"As you wish Master Cain. I'm sure that whomever is to receive such a gift will be very happy to see her. Very gracious of you indeed sire." Placate the vampires, at least the powerful ones. It was something Dietrich had learned early on. He himself was powerful but something about Cain made Dietrich uneasy, maybe it was how alike they were. Dietrich knew himself intricately and by the same means, knew a portion of that which was Master Cain. A deadly enemy and an uneasy ally at best.

Cain chuckled as the foolish man bid once more on his merchandise. Obviously, the fool did not see a reason for fear or for hesitation. If that were the case, then very well. On his own head, a twisted grin spread across Cain's lips as he thought this, be it.
Raising his hand once more, Cain called out yet another bid. "In that case, I shall bid two-hundred seventy million." His silky voice ran through the Oprah House, almost daring the man to bid once more. Though none could notice, Cain's eyes had begun to turn a smoldering red as blood-lust began to fill his body. He was not going to play this little game with the man for much longer. Patience was not a strong point of his. He turned his threatening gaze down to the auctioneer, silently ordering him to put an end to these shenanigans if he wished to keep his Oprah house and his life intact.

The auctioneer looked to the balcony were the last bid came from and sensed something evil and deadly. This so wasn't worth his life. "Sold to the scary vampire in the balcony for 270 million dinar!" he called in a loud voice that clearly said 'Don't kill me.' Mirai was then ushered off stage by her handler and a new slave was brought out.
She was led to the room where the purchased slaves were kept till the end of the auction when they could be collected.

" It would appear that fortune has smiled upon me today..." Cain mused triumphantly before turning and walking towards the exit of the balcony. The auction was almost over, and he was slightly anxious to retrieve the girl and leave. He wanted to begin his plans for her immediately, and he had other things, more pressing to the Order, to attend to.
"Oh, and Puppet Master," He stopped at the door and cocked his head towards Dietrich, the small smile placed comfortably once more on his lips. " I would like for you to keep an eye on my bested opponent. If he IS one of the Empress' pets, as you say, his poor life may have been on the line in this little endeavor. I believe there is a chance he may try to do something foolish. I shall call on you when it is time to leave."
With that, he moved gracefully down the stairs, almost appearing to glide over them. As he eased his way through the main corridor, many of the noble Methuselah whispered to their companions about the strange, beautiful man who had bid so highly on a slave. He paid them no mind, and quickened his pace, soon finding himself at the entryway to the room where his dear little niece sat waiting, unaware of what was in store for her.
As he stood lazily against a nearby wall, his eyes did not return to their normal color, but remained the crimson hue. Triumphant though he may be, he still knew that he would not truly be victorious until the girl was in his hands.
