Crimson eyes watched over the many people bustling about the busy market. A woman buying food for her children who play quietly beside her, some boys eyeing some unguarded clothing hanging from a stand, a poor beggar man sitting on the cold ground asking passing strangers for money. This was the natural flow of the market, the same thing everyday, filled with buyers,beggars and thieves. With a light sigh Blair pushed off the wall she was leaning on and made her way threw the crowd. As she walked she avoided those she knew were pit pockets, there was no way she was going to let them take what little money she had to live off of.
She closed her eyes and put a hand to her stomach as she felt her hunger setting in, it was about time for her daily meal. The sent of cooking meat filled her nose and she looked over to a stall selling cooked food. she quickly walked over and bought a small piece of cooked beef. Sitting down at a table to the side of the stall she slowly ate, savoring the taste, because who knew when the next time she would be eating was.

The market place...bustling with people talking. All Merryl could think of was the fact that this place was nothing more but a big ball of mystery. She grabbed the glistening jewellery that was hung among a stand until a voice broke pass the voices that were surrounding her. "Don't touch that" she jerked back her light strawberry blonde hair fell in front of her face as her sapphire eyes poked up in connection to vendor that ordered her not to touch it, she dropped it. As the glass necklace only shattered in small pieces on the table. Her reaction to this event should of been to respond, however; what words should of been formed were mumbles muffled out by her hands that covered her mouth in surprise. She swallowed hard, and felt her eyes fill with the tears that began to trickle its way down the side of her cheek. How embaressing this was for her. The vendor looked furious, and Merryl lowered her hands down as she studdered and apology. "I-I'm sooo s-sorry" her voice was soft, and the innocence could be heard that she meant no harm in this.
The vendor who was a man tall, and round around the waist. Stared his beady dark eyes down at her. If she was a turtle this was the perfect time to slink inside her shell. She felt a hand slither around her small wrists, and it turned out it was his. She wasn't surprised, but he pulled her closer to him his sour breathe breathing down her face, she stood at a height of 5'3" he was definitely a lot taller then she was. "Mage's like you aren't welcome here, but I can put you to good work, I'm sure the slave market can put you to good use" "Please don't" her voice now penetrating through the crowd of people that began to surround her.

Blair heard the comotion and looked over and raised a brow as she got up putting the rest of her food in a pouch. She pushed threw the crowed and looked at the stall vender and with young woman he had by the wrist, 'this won't end well' she thought to herself. she scanned around the stall to see what had happened and he eyes fell apon the shattered necklace. looking back up at the woman and saw the fear in her eyes and sighed deeply as she slowly moved closer trying to think of a way to help her.

"Let me go! It was an accident!"
Merryl shouted as she attempted to pull away and now the man only tightened his grip. He smirked as his mouth opened in order to release the next words that would cause Merryl to feel a heavy weight over her chest. "GUARDS! We've got a new addition to the Slave trade! I beleive a Mage is very useful for you Forelockian soldiers" Merryl felt her stomach sink, "It was an accident" it was then that the soldiers began to surround her. The gold dragon emblem on their black armour. She slunk back how was she suppose to defend herself in front of all these guards, this was her first week in Rosplayn and she instantly got herself in trouble.

Blair frowned and rushed over to the vender "what are you doing?" she asked and looked at him and tryied to cover her from the guards "if the trinket is paid for will you let her go?" she asked and looked at him while a guards tried to move her out of the way toget to the Mage "ifI pay is she free?" she asked watching him closely.

"No no you don't---" "Do you even know this girl? I certainly hope you have 1000 Sovereigns because that's how much damaged, your friend here as caused! I hope its worth it" the vendor had interrupted the girl before she could insist any further in preventing this savior from coming to her aid. "If the deed is paid off this mage wench is free to go" Merryl could feel her face redden as she heard the voices of the locals whispering among themselves. "...Oh my goodness can you believe that" "such a scene she is causing, I hate mages...always looking for trouble" "They're better off in staying at that temple they call home" "stay under the rock you belong" all she could think to herself is why her? All she was doing was looking and the surprise of his voice coming out of no where like that, made her drop the glass necklace. It was surely different from her home, everyone was nice there...but now this pilgrimage made her miss it more, everyone was mean to her here. "So is it a deal?" He asked the woman as his eyes burned onto hers. "Otherwise, these guards will take her away...and the slave auction on Forelock will put this girl to good use" "...I really didn't mean to cause any harm to your merchandise" Her soft voice broke out, as more peasants mumbled among themselves some more cussing about their dislike for her kind.

Blair glared back at him her crimson eyes meeting his,she didn't have money like that. She glanced around at the crowd knowing that she was alone in trying to help this girl. "I...don't have that much" she said quietly turning jer head away "there must be another way to pay" she glanced over at the girl with sadeyes.

"Sorry but you don't got the money you don't get the girl! Guards!"
The people laughed, and Merryl felt herself being pulled away by the Forelockian soldiers, "thank you anyways" she said as she felt herself being guided away. "Slave Auction to you...we're sorry it had to be this way...we understand Mage's don't get it easy"

Blair stood there and watched them take her away "I am sorry" she said and turned around, She shot the vender an icey glare "you are a sad exuse of a man". makeing her way back to the crowd she listened to the by standers "why would she help a mage?" "that girl is nothing but trouble". Closeing her eyes and made her way threw the people wishing she had a way to help that girl, but how could a poor girl such as herself save her? She didn't have the money to take to the slave traders or the skills the rescue her. Oh what as she gotten herself into?

"Well that wasn't pointless" spoke out a voice from behind hte crowd, there stood a man with auburn hair that glistened under the rays of the sun, he raised his hood as he began to follow Blair. He had caught up to her his face still hidden. "...so that's where your fight ends? Clearly you're weak...now that girl is going to be carried to the next continent, and here you are in Feral's market mopping about how you can't help her" he was clearly taunting her, the reason behind it remains unknown. Who's right was it his to taunt Blair when he himself didn't have a connection to the mage, "of course you're probably like everyone ekse belittling her due to the fact that she's a mage, she doesn't need your aid now does she" he continued only a few feet behind her as the screams of Merryl interrupted the now uninterested group of villagers.
"NOOOO! It's my pilgrimage...you can't do this to me!!! YOU CAN'T!" Her screams were sharp, she was scared and she could feel the tears stream down her cheeks. What horrors lie in the continent of Forelock, she heard many bad things about that place, and now knowing she'll be the property of another being who may use her for her magic, or even worse her body. She was a virgin and she wasn't ready to lose it to a man who wanted to claim it from her. "...Not cool..."

The voice reached her ears and her head glaneing back at him annoyed with his taunting, "what more can I do?" she asked wondering why this man was fallowing her. "I have no money or skills to save her" she said quietly turning her head back "you don;t know me, I do not care if she is a mage,elf or just a ordanary human" she said as she stopped walking as she heard Merryl screaming. she turned to him "what about you?" she asked "what will you do?" she asked moving closer to him "will you help her? or did you jut come here to laugh at the misfortunate?" her eyes narrowed as she tried to see his face. Blair looked over as the guards tied Merryl, up wanting to help dearly to set her free and to keep her away from slavery.
