Chapter 7 - Chapter 6 - Jester's Story (2)

Margun Auction House is an auction house run directly by one of the biggest underground organizations in the universe, called The Black Tiger. This organization is so powerful that governments themselves support all their activities and even provide creatures, people, and items for their auctions. This auction house holds special auctions every once in a while, and in one of these auctions, I was sold. I wasn't sold for much since I was small, but I had massive luck because the person who bought me was actually a good man.

His name was Alec, and he was a bounty hunter. He took me in and treated me really well. He brought me with him whenever he went on a hunt, fed me well, and even tried to set me free a few times on isolated planets, but I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay with him, and so I did. For the next few years, I stayed with him and helped him with everything he required. But I always felt as if that wasn't enough.

One day, Alec went to hunt a dangerous criminal, and I went with him. Well, it turned out that this criminal had a group of thugs with him, and they jumped Alec. After a few minutes, there he was, lying on the floor with wounds all over his body, bleeding on the ground and barely breathing. In that moment, I felt anger and pain, so I gathered everything I had and sprinted toward the thugs to at least headbutt them. In that moment, my powers awakened.

The powers I had only seen my parents and a few friends use: the morph powers. These powers allow me to morph into any type of weapon that I desire, and in certain cases, I can even morph into a monster. In that moment, I morphed into a gun, and since I could freely move, I easily killed all of the thugs. Immediately, I ran toward Alec to help him, but it was too late. I heard screams in the distance, and since we were in thug territory, I immediately ran away.

I didn't know where to go. I felt empty, sad, and angry, and I didn't have anywhere to turn. For a long time, I just traveled aimlessly by sneaking onto ships, and then one day, I found an interesting person. Her name was Danny.
