Location: The Slave Market – Undoubtedly Happy to win, the auction for Rote & Jehenne.

---

Louise smiled kindly about winning the said auction for Jehenne & Rote for the Company, which made her definitely happy about that. She wanted to cheer because of it, however, her enthusiasm went down slightly when the Auction Master said he could have disqualified her from bidding because of intimidation. The hatred, which was burning in her heart for her father Steven was ever presence in the back of her mind. It will always be there ever presently in her back of her mind because of what he said when she walked into his study, five years ago. ”I will keep my outbursts and other such things to a minimum since it would suck being disqualified.” Louise said, with a slight nervous to her tone. However, she specifically remembered something specifically, which she got the proof of credit in form of a banknote. It was specifically signed by Cocheta, which is her boss of the company. ”I do have a proof of credit, which is this bank note for five million gold. It was signed by my boss Cocheta.” Louise responding to both questions. She gives the banknote to the Auction Master, with the leader of the Company’s signature on it. It takes her sometime to sign all the papers that the Auction Master gave her to sign. The signing one’s name constantly is a bit of a pain, but that was over to say the least.

She felt like she was being watched by someone, which caused her to look around. It didn’t take much time to look for the person in question, since he was definitely not conspicuous at all. The spear, which he wielded and the flowers in his hair was a bit strange nonetheless. It didn’t help she really didn’t have any outside interaction with anyone since she was trapped within the von Hammerwhirl Estate as a prisoner or slave in a sense. ”What’s his problem? Guess he doesn’t like the fact I use my name… it is definitely tarnished because of my father Steven’s actions.” Louise thought to herself, which she decided to look back at the Auction Master.

Louise noticed the branding iron, which glowed with High Magic that would burn Rote and Jehenne’s flesh with a brand. It made her winch a bit mostly because High Magic can’t be healed with magic but only like a doctor with medicinal aid can heal. However, she saw Rote step back, which what happened next in terms of what he had said caused her to be pretty afraid. ”The Old Gods? I remember my father talking about all the religions equally as bad superstition belief systems. Which didn’t hold any traditions other than gaining a large cult of brainwashed followers… However, he outright hated the Old Gods more than anything… But traditions like my father’s were definitely not something to be followed either. But my mother does worship the Existence Church though...” Louise thought to herself, with a slight bit nervousness to her whole body as it shakes a bit. However, she tried to act like it didn’t really bother her, however, it made more sense in why that mysterious man specifically said displeased now. It made more sense now than it did before. Even though it definitely made her more determined to deliver Jehenne & Rote to the Company’s HQ now more than ever.

Louise saw the Auction Master quite irritated by the whole situation, which caused him to call the guards to seize Rote for the Branding Iron in question. However, what Rote had said before he was branded by the Auction Master, caused her to worry a bit more. She was definitely now trying to hide that worry on her face to make sure that no one knew that she was worried. ”He has definitely given me a bit more feeling something bad is going to happen. Then all the years I lived with my father Steven. If it wasn’t for my mother Raina, I wouldn’t be here buying these slaves… I guess I should be grateful for the small things in life. But how callous my father was in that sense… I hate him for that specifically.” Louise thought to herself, with a slight look down. However, then the branding iron touched Rote’s arm, which causes her to wince in pain because how he screamed definitely didn’t help her situation. She glanced to Jehenne when the Auction Master addressed her, which she felt like she was going to wince again.

Then the Auction Master turns to her specifically to talk about the magical stones and the Brands in question, which control the slaves magical powers. She decided to definitely take a mental note of these said magical stones because it was unique and felt more like a more advanced version of the slave collars. Even if a slightly simplistic, since they are magical stones. ”Auction Master, I won’t lose them, since they aren’t probably replaceable. It would be quite dumb to lose said magic stones.” Louise said, with a simplistic smile on her face. It was definitely interesting to be for sure, however, the whole thing wasn’t what she wanted in her life. A Conspiracy in the town she moved to get away from her mansion, which is very far away because of her asshole of a father.

The Goreflame Staff crackles, pops a bit and speaks with a distinct tone in its voice, which sounds like an older woman that sounds quite motherly and protective. It felt like it was speaking in a whisper, which was most odd to say the least. ”Louise not many people would understand or would care what a slave has to say. Why should you, because I can tell when you are nervous or afraid? The constant threat of death living in your home probably didn’t help your feelings towards your father specifically. However, do not worry about what was said by Rote Kaufman...” The Goreflame Staff’s Motherly Voice whispered. It was telling the truth since it has never once lied in its life as it was with Louise. The mother always never believed in conspiracies because they are always misplaced or what not. However, the Goreflame Staff was created via a ritual sacrifice, which caused these three souls to live within the staff for the rest of their lives but they never once regretted their decision.

This was odd, which it has never done before it speaks yet again, with the same voice, which whispered towards Louise. ”Every single person are quite unique since they all share a free will. But the figment of their desires outweigh the set goals of each individual to something greater as if it is tempered by an outside force of magic that is all around us. Me and my children, which are within this staff only wants to protect you Louise. And your free will and desires are quite similar to ours, the freedom to be free from the shackles of rules. However, must follow certain laws of the land or you will become shackled like the ones on this stage have became.” The Goreflame Staff’s motherly voice. It was telling the truth about this part of what it spoke, which following the rules of certain people are a detriment to your growth while others are not. However, how you reach those rules that aren’t a detriment to your growth is a long, wild, and destiny usually has something to deal with it.

Louise had to stare at her staff for a bit because it confused her for the first time in awhile, since it spoke twice in succession, however, the first time was a whisper. She was obviously a bit taken aback by what the Staff had said both times. ”The Wisdom you spout, Goreflame is a bit overwhelming is sometimes. However, I am grateful to you for helping me find my way basically, when I walked from the von Hammerwhirl Estate to Venedig. Wish it wasn’t a long walk and travel by boat to reach here...” Louise said, with remembering the journey. It was long and tiring, which definitely hurts to remember, her feet hurting so badly. However, it sounds like Louise was apart of a highly rich family, which lived in a big mansion but was disowned by her father in how she acted when she flared up in anger. She rolled her eyes because she remembered what the tattoo was created out of, which is why she cannot get rid of it by her magic, the same on the branding iron. ”...I hate my father for making my mother Raina tattoo me for something I had to do but he was grateful to me, for burning down my childhood home because he was wanting to make it bigger and remodel it to his traditional standard… I don’t ever regret what I did because I wanted to be free from those god awful traditions and my father’s gaze.” Louise thought to herself, with a definite annoyed look on her face mostly because of it.

@jdh97 Definitely enjoyed your post. I am about to post myself, anyways. I added a paragraph specifically since she felt someone starring at her. (Which is your character.) XD

@Overlord Thraka That's alright should've cleared it up before the confusion happened. It is nice that Half-Elves are great at hearing, which probably means they can hear whispering as if it isn't whispering. XD

I added that in the profile to make it much easier to understand in terms of the ages of the Souls within the Goreflame Staff.

@Letter Bee That is alright, I had to edit my post because I misspelled Rote's name. Since that was a mistake, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The Goreflame Staff has a 31 year old Soul (Mother), a Teenage Daughter Soul (15), and a 9 to 10 year old soul all in one.

@Overlord Thraka Guess to a Half-Elf, a 22 year old human looks like a 15 year old teenager. XD

Diana’s Brutal Reality – Whoops – September 26, 1914 (Siege of Amone)

---

Diana was looking over the letters, which Reyna had on her table, it was a bit insane. However, she did notice that Reyna did organize them in what they were and what not. She always enjoyed a bit of organization herself but she’s not mentally organized because of what had happened throughout this war so far. The one thing that gave her a smile was when Reyna took a cookie off the plate and said thank you to her. ”No problem, Reyna.” Diana said. It looked like Reyna needed a pick me up mostly because of the fact she looked frustrated with all the letters. Her mother definitely knows how to cheer up everyone with their cookies, but them being warm and just done and out of the oven is definitely better.

She definitely noticed Reyna thinking about what she had said about Jean confessing to her about whom he likes. It gave her much to think about to, which caused her to literally think about stuff. ”Hmm… I wonder what her response will be? I hope it won’t be shocking…” Diana thought to herself. She wasn’t expecting anything really shocking it took only a bit until Reyna spoke up. It caused her to gasp and be shocked that Jean did that, it was definitely sweet of him. She had to breath a bit because she didn’t see it at all but it would’ve made sense if she did seen it. ”Umm… That must’ve been a bit of a shock. It is okay better to tell than not to tell, which would my mother would tell me. You have been expecting that he liked you?” Diana questioned with a bit of a curious look at Reyna. However, she was a bit more forceful to tell people she liked them or otherwise, its just how she is. Because she got that strange forceful way to tell people by her own mother Rebecca, since she tells it how it is and not what people think it is or was. ”T-That is shocking… but stay strong Diana don’t do something stupid now. My mother has always said… Don’t over do it or you’ll become not what you want but what others want… I don’t understand that saying.” Diana thought to herself, with a definite look of confusion in what that means but didn’t say it out loud for Reyna to hear it.

Diana glanced over to Reyna, while she was clenching her fist and sighed with annoyance about the love letters in question. ”Rebecca has a funny way of saying things, this latest thing is a bit hilarious. It would be better to terrify them than strangle them so they never send another love letter to you or you might end up in jail for accidentally killing them.” Diana said with a slight undertone of like really mom? She shrugged her shoulders basically when she finished with what she said. It was a bit too funny, however, she couldn’t help herself but laugh at Reyna’s problems. ”I have never gotten a love letter in my life. I have a feeling it involves the same person I am scared of… But laughing is always better medicine than being sad, which is what my mother always tells me.” Diana said, with a slight saddening tone, however she looked passed the sadness with a laugh at the whole thing. She definitely felt a bit better at laughing at the love letter situation with Reyna because it gives her hope she will get one but from someone that loves her back.

Then Reyna spoke about the letters from her father are needed to be given to some people in the Squad, which made her specifically a bit shocked. She picked up one of Randall’s Letters since Reyna basically told her to take one. ”Your father has a sense of timing better than my mother Rebecca it seems. I’ll read the letter later because it sounds pretty important nonetheless.” Diana said, with a smile on her face. She had a gentle smile on her face when she heard Reyna’s mother’s name. ”Your mother’s name is pretty, Reyna. My dad Gavin also does business trips so they probably did meet once or twice. Gavin usually handles the balance sheet and gives the employees at the New Vastergoth Bakery their pay, while mom usually handles the creative side of things in terms of baking since she loves to do that.” Diana said, with a bit more understanding in how her father Gavin knows Randall but she doesn’t exactly know where her father goes on those Business Trips he usually takes. She giggled at Reyna’s thicker accent because it was a bit more thicker than normal. ”Cute accent Reyna.” Diana said, more or less teasing Reyna’s accent. It was always something she wanted to do by tease Reyna’s accent by calling it cute.

Diana eyes brightened up when she heard that Reyna would teach her to make the tea or really anyone in the squad that wanted to learn. ”Aww, thanks Reyna I cannot wait to make tea. What was that style of dancing by the way?” Diana asked, with a bit of glee. However, her mind compartmentalized what Reyna was curious about and it was definitely something she didn’t want to fuck up again. ”The stakes were a bit high in the drinking competition, I stripped myself naked just so I didn’t have to lose ungracefully like Luke had done, he basically was on the floor out like a light until I had to wake him up with water. Luke and I kissed because of the bet, however, he wasn’t a good kisser by the way. I kissed my friend Anna better than he could have kissed me though. I had to be a slave to the winner, which was Victoria for the rest of that day.” Diana said, however, she whispered Luke and I kissed in the White Hart Inn. It was pretty much obvious she was hinting what happened between her and Victoria at the inn without actually saying it. She didn’t realize what she was saying at this moment because it was in the moment as well. ”The dance in question was embarrassing because I was starring at you… and I know you were starring back at me too. But I will never forget it since it did cheer me up from Richard’s callousness.” Diana said, embarrassed in how she said starring at you. She was blushing a bit harder mostly because it was highly embarrassing to say this, however, if Reyna wanted to use this she probably could.

What Reyna said about her parents being good people put a smile on her face, however, she was blushing even more so than she had. It was obvious she did a whoops, in her line of thinking somewhere in telling Reyna what had happened at the Inn made her embarrassed even more. ”They are great, they mean the world to me…” Diana said, with a slight nervous tone in her voice. It wasn’t because of what Reyna had said it was her mind working on overdrive in trying to fix what she had said from before. She looked directly at Reyna when Reyna asked is something wrong. It was obvious there was something wrong, because she was extremely red right now. ”U-Uuhh… U-Ummm… I am embarrassed with what I had said, my family lives in the moment and are very blunt about things. However, I should have realized what I was talking about, which is why I said crap earlier. B-Because its highly embarrassing that I gave you details of what happened that night of the Drinking Competition. It doesn’t help that me and Victoria shared a night together too.” Diana said, with a slight realization a bit too late that she spoke about Victoria and her sharing a night on the same night as that drinking Competition. She was nervously shaking and blushing brighter than a tomato because of the whole thing that happened. The whole thing kinda made her want to faint but being woken up by someone else would be even more embarrassing than normal. ”The entirety of this is too embarrassing for me… why do I have to be so open with everything? First Jean and now this… Could always be worse I suppose, Luke could’ve had heard me… I have a feeling he’s going to not live down that defeat at Victoria’s hands.” Diana thought to herself, with a slight sigh of regret at herself for being too blunt for her own good. She couldn’t help but giggle at the fact he’s always going to have that over his head.

Location: The Slave Market – The Outbidding everyone else for Jehenne and Rote

---

Louise sighed with a slight nod in agreement with what the Auction Master had said. It was truthful, with it was an auction and not something you purchase with your hard earned coin like an inn room or what not. She heard all the other bids for Rote and Jehenne, which were a bit shocking but the mysterious figure gave them much money to bid for these two in particular. However, she smiled slightly at the fact no one had as much money as was given to the Company. ”I bid 5 million for Jehenne & Rote.” Louise said with a slight hopefulness this would make all the other competitors for these two to back down. She knew it wouldn’t be that easy since competition is definitely a thing in all this. In a bit of excitement, however, she did feel as if she was being watched.

She ignored the hint of her being watched since it was a bit annoying, since it felt exactly when she was back at the von Hammerwhirl Estate. In the moment, she stared at Jehenne because the voice, which came out of her was beautiful. The questions from Jehenne was a bit interesting to her because of the concept of wasting money definitely wasn’t in her preview. She had been the very opposite of what most people has been since she was disowned from her family and had to pinch pennies. It felt as if Jehenne was insulting her on the fact she’s here to buy slaves for her boss. ”Guess that’s what the Goreflame Staff was talking about them being more lively. Because I wonder what Jehenne knows that I don’t since I get a feeling that Rote wants to scream and yell about something interesting… And damn the consequences of said actions. Alike what I did with my father Steven exactly.” Louise thought to herself, with a slight smirk on her face. She wanted so desperately make a name for herself because of her childhood and her father’s boorish lifestyle.

Louise looked directly at Jehenne with a bit more interest than she had when just glancing over her body. ”I don’t really see as if I am wasting my money on you, Jehenne Alcroft or Rote Kaufman. But your voice is definitely beautiful by the way. It is because I wanted to make a name for myself ever since I was a little girl, but my Father...” Louise said with a fury in her voice, when saying father. Her clothes and hair slowly turned into fire as if it was on fire but it was actual fire and not being on fire. The look in her eyes was sincere as if it could be for how much hate she had for her father. She tried to calm down because of these questions helped her with her underlying hatred of super strict traditions, which cause parents to kill their kids. ”I am sorry everyone at this Auction for getting a bit hateful towards one person in question, my own father. But I do mean to win this auction for Jehenne & Rote.” Louise spoke with a determined voice about the auction in question. She didn’t want to say that these two in question were interesting since Rote wants to speak about something dire and cares not about the consequences but the female noble’s voice was definitely beautiful. It was definitely unique and curious how everyone was acting in this Auction, she felt like she was acting normal and not underhanded.

The Goreflame Staff crackles, pops a bit and speaks with a curious tone in its voice, which sounds like a young girl of age 9 to 10 years old. It speaks slightly louder than the other two voices, which spoke before it, however. ”Louise… I thought you told us to not speak of your home nor family but you bring it up more than anyone. Do you truly seek anything or unlike this Jehenne Alcroft seeks something more than what you see in your view? Most people would rather ignore the wisdom, the understanding or the curiosity of one such as the Goreflame Staff. But you were the only one that understood us quicker than anyone within that family of yours. I am curious in how do you think you can stop the free will of Louise Ester von Hammerwhirl.” The Goreflame Staff’s curious voice speaks louder and more pronounced telling of her full name to the two slaves, even if they do not want it. It was highly curious in what Rote wanted to scream and yell, and the questions by Jehenne Alcroft were definitely interesting. However, the anger still within Louise after all this time away from her father is still a boiling point of contention and causes her magic to go out of control. It knows Louise still lacks the necessary control to control said magic within her soul and it wildly goes out of control in arguments or her unnecessary hatred towards her own father.

Louise was shocked to hear what the youngest soul within the Goreflame Staff had said specifically and told everyone within this Auction her name. The von Hammerwhirl family were pretty much out casted for their roles in causing harm to Mages and much more things. However, she doesn’t know that her family is changing for the better or cares. It was mostly because of the fact her father Steven hated her and how he wanted to kill her too. ”...Damn it… The Goreflame Staff, why did you have to say that? I see their pity in me for living in that household… I don’t want pity or remember those god awful traditions all I want to go forward...” Louise thought to herself, with a definite frustrated look on her face. She hasn’t found the closure she wants with her family, which is why she constantly focused on the hate towards her father Steven. However, her anger dissipates with what the staff had said, however, her hair was still clearly fire and she never looked at anyone with ire at all. ”I must say… Jehenne Alcroft. I do hope you will enjoy my company, even though you are going to be a slave for the Company.” Louise said with a regular normal smile with her hair still fire, however, this wasn’t really an order to Jehenne Alcroft but more like a request.

Location: The Slave Market – The Buying of Jehenne and Rote

---

Louise continued to watch the noble slaves, however, in the back of her mind she remembered something. ”My want to make a name for myself made me come here to get Roth and Jehenne because of that specific mystery man that came to the company.” Louise thought to herself, which definitely means she would have to stop watching the noble slaves. She had to basically involve herself into the bidding war, at least she was given the large amount of down payment to buy said slaves from her boss. It was a bit irritating but better to act now than be too late in making that man’s clients displeased since that part scared her a bit.

She decided to start making her way towards where the Auction Master was directly at in the Slave Market, which was on the stage by the captured nobles. Her staff in question was billowing fire in an upwards motion since it is a constant burning flame, while Louise was walking. She wanted to make a good first impression on the Slave Market, which she usually just watched slaves being sold in droves. It was obvious she didn’t want to fail Cocheta and not get the slaves in question that mysterious man wanted the Company to buy. ”Auction Master, I am here from the Alhryt-Liu Trading and Lending Company to buy two of the traitorous nobles by the name of Jehenne Alcroft and Rote Kaufman. It is pretty obvious they should be treated like they deserve!” Louise exclaimed loudly to the Auction Master. She had a grin on her face, when starring at specifically Jehenne and Rote.

The Goreflame Staff crackles, pops a bit and speaks with an understanding tone in its voice, which sounds like a teenage girl’s voice of 15 years of age. ”Many people are worthwhile in chains and others are worthwhile in something fitting their standards.” The Goreflame Staff’s understanding teenager voice, which it was addressing Rote and Jehenne’s predicament. It understood that the people being sold as slaves deserved what they got but could deserve something better as long as they are obedient. The staff showed off many things but it is still creepy to hear it talk towards people or talk to Louise in question. It constantly being on fire definitely didn’t help its appearance.

Louise smiled gleefully at what the Goreflame Staff had said. She enjoys when the staff talks to other people about their predicament rather than what she had been through. However, she looked directly at Jehenne Alcroft and Rote Kaufman and liked what she saw in the two. ”They look wonderful, the Slave Market has very high quality services in keeping the slaves well alive.” Louise said, with a bit of giving a compliment towards the Auction Master’s business. She learned many things by watching and not involving herself into the Slave Market much but this is the first time she actually is buying slaves for the Company she works for. It took her a bit but she started thinking about what happened before this auction of the captured nobles happened. ”Cocheta, did ask me with her subtle ways with words. Since I always wanted to make a name for myself… my family has always had traditions that choked me and felt like I was never free. I am grateful I can make a name for myself without the traditions of my family stopping me.” Louise thought to herself, with a serious look on her face. It was pretty much obvious that Cocheta had ways with words and subtle hints, she was very diplomatic and it made her specifically come here to the Slave Market. She wanted to look forward to the future instead of dwelling on the past and this is one step in doing that.

It took a bit before she looked directly into the eyes of Roth and Jehenne in question. She wanted to address them about what the plan was. ”Jehenne Alcroft and Rote Kaufman… I hope you enjoy walking around naked before you reach the Company’s Headquarters.” Louise spoke, in a tone of informing them. She started to laugh a bit because she wanted to say how they will get to their destination. It took a moment before she stopped laughing because she never knew the power of being someone’s better in awhile, which was a rush. She had a good feeling of the buying these two slaves for the Company and Cocheta as a whole.
