Chapter 11 - Chapter 11 "Auction"

I walked with the witch Arandea to her house. She still looked like the young lady. I think she believes that it's more comfortable for me to speak with her in this form what is also correct. I don't even know her reasons but she listened to me without a word of complaint and was only worried if I was alright. I doubt she has any ulterior moves planned or something like that. But the point is I don't know if her worries are true. We were now standing at a small hut which was enough for a goblin or two (Goblins are a inferior race of orcs and halforcs, height about 4.3 ft. (about 1.3m)) but it looked like it was her hut. Surprisingly was the hut built mostly underground which made it seem smaller than it was. It even had more floors! It was really wide and open. There was the first floor which was wor coats and eating. The second floor was for sleeping and brewing and the basement was for wichcraft and research for spells. All in all it was a house every wich or sorcerer could only image to have. It looked like a house no one would bother to enter but belonged to a being humans would normally hunt down. I was really impressed by what kind of clue was used here. Arandea meant in that moment:' I all built this by myself. It looks pretty awesome right? I know it's not so luxurious but very beautiful and I love this house!'. I replied in a tone every visitor of a villa would have:' I'm really impressed by the house you built.'. And such we talked about our past. How we are feeling now and what we would like to change. It all made me clear in my head. The cloaked man who was at that say with Master was probably someone who should teach me Darkness. She was always considerate and desperate to help me get achievements. I hope one day I can repay the favor. But now I will train on my own. Nobody except these two knows my biggest secret. I studied Darkness from the Witch Arandea. I was surprised by how good she was with Darkness Magic. All in all it was really helpful. But the Witch told me that I had a rare class of talent. Normally there is a talent level for each race and spirits have the greatest number and people with the highest level of talent. My talent would be called super high class which is second highest. Only higher can the god level talent be. There is also low talent. Middle low, Middle, Middle high, high and super high again. Arandea also told me about human towns and cities and whoch I should not and which I should visit. With this information I wanted to part from her as she told me when she morphed back to the looks of that old lady:' You don't need to leave because you won't go far on the next 80 years! I will use you as an energy stone and refill my own when I need it which would be now. So come here and let me absorb a bit of your soul!'. I used my strongest magic, which is still light, to make dust out of her which was not successful but she was stopped and then I used space magic to teleport to the only place from the map Aramdea showed me which wasn't hostile towards a spirit. A bid town where spirits and humans resided in peace. I just hope I can make it safely there. During my long, long teleport which shucked two third of my magic I was able to comprehend Light and Space better. It all happened due to a spacerift which I used to travel.

When I finally got out of the spacerift I was in front of the town hall and I couldn't feel more relieved. But in excat that moment I collapsed. It happened because my magic was completely sucked dry even during training I wouldn't do that! But now, here it was a conplete different story. Because I had to run away as fast as I could I needed to make much effort in long distance travel. I hope no one here would abduct a helpless spirit. But what happens if you speak off the devil? It appears... Yes I was abducted! And to a black market. When I got consciousness back all was black and my movements were restricted due to me tied up. I couldn't say a word nor could I do anything else. I just hope nobody is going to buy me or something like that... Haha who would buy such a spirit as me? Who exactly? Yeah nobody right? But that was all for naught. Something like two days, it could also be three, I was brought to an auction. And there I was handled as the best piece. I came last, was paid for 1.300.000 of a currency I don't remember which and I got the feeling everyone was bidding for me. At first the price was set by 20.000 and then it got higher for half an hour to 300.000. But then suddenly a mountain stood up and made a sound that it would move then a voice which was of a man on his last days gave off:' I bid 1.300.000. Anyone want higher? No thanks!'.

That was the story of me being sold and now I'm on the verge of death. I mean for what reason would you buy a spirit except absorbing it's soul? There is no better reason, right? I mean every Magician would want a sprit as tool to nourish his or hers or it's (maybe orcs can also use me?) magic cultivation. Right? I need to die in some days at least let me use my full magic to overpower my buyer! When I will go down I will do so with a fight. I will to death if it's needed! I don't want to die and kill us there any way out? And then something moved inside me. The scratchy voice of the devil said:' Hey boy how can you be so naive? Survive without killing? I saw all your memories and also from your past life. I'm now something like your brother who will kill you if you let me out but I know everything about you and you don't even want to kill now? How come that YOU don't want to kill? A change of mind or something? I was really enjoying your memories and looked it all like you would watch a movie in your last life. But this is the last time I will give you advice: You can only survive with killing. You as a former human should now that! See you then if ou need me.'. I was shocked. He saw all my memories? Does that mean he knows my former occupation and my state of mind? If he really does why didn't he tell me? I don't even know his name... I hope we can become friends...

That aside it was a really tiring day and if needed I will kill my buyer even if it's the last thing I will do! I was wondering who this giant was. Even though I couldn't see anything because my undestroyable cage was covered with a cloak I coud feel through Wind Magic that I was held high. So that would mean that my buyer is really tall. Maybe someone from a race which has great height. And soon I was put on a floor and waited for the moment my cloth was lifted and my cage was opened. To the moment where my cage would be opened I needed to make an impression of being hurt or dying to make it look like I would be suffering and there was no danger emitted by me. I also suppressed my killing intent and waited for my moment. My cloth was finally uncovered and my cage was opened. I made a magic blade out of Light Magic which was a skill Arandea showed me and then I tried to attack the man who was also wearing something like a cloth but I attacked him and immediately fell down and went slowly unconscious and the voice which seemed to belong to the tall man said to me:' I will see what I can do with you.'.
