I could barely walk, not only becouse of the shackles, though i havent ate for days. These people only cared that i would survive for the auction. Every time i tryed to look up, black points started to apper in front of my eyes. If i bit my tongue, i could leave this rotten world, yet i couldnt do it. Its not that i feared to die, it just felt like something was stopping me.

Some doors could be heard opening and a lot of steps poured in. Chairs were moved. Not long before the auction would begin. "Hey, ya rats. Stand!" Left with no choice i tryed to raise myself, however i felled back immidiatly. Right after i could feal a kick to my side and my vision turned black. Even my ears seemed like they have given up. Although i knew that i was still there, as more kicks reminded me off the pain.

[Hey], a voice rang in my head. [Let me take over], this voice sounded like my own. [we dont have to die here.] Without a thought i just said, "ok."
Right after it, the feeling of pain stoped and my mouth started to chant in a unknows language, yet at the same time it felt familiar. I dont know what i was saying, though my vision and my hearing came back. I was standing in front of an angry face, he seemed like he was going to hit me. However a cowbell was shaken and 'angryface' turned away. The auction has started.

[Good, the system is working], the voice just sounded in my head. [Than the commands should be the same, or at least similar]
What are you?, i tryed to ask yet my mouth wouldnt budge. [Dont worry i will explain later, but first we should fix this situation.]
My body just started to stretch. [Good, nothing that cant be fixed. Now we should count our enemys], as that voice rang in my head, it started chanting again and right in front of my eye some pictures started to appear. These pictures were moving, as if they were alive. In one of the moving picture i recognized 'angryface', he didnt seem angry now, more like axious. While watching these pictures i started to feel sick, but then my mouth chanted again and the pictures disappeard. [At least twelve are armed, there is food in front of the guests and an ugly bastard has some keys]

It started chanting again while i saw how some older male slaves where beeing draged away, than some male kids. Only shortly after, i was the one beeing draged onto that stage and were left standing alone with an slaver a few steps away, in front of an masked audience. Yet they started to breath heavily and some even throw up.
"Whats with this food?!" "Did you try to poison us!?" "You will hang for this!"
A lot of harsh word flew this way, though they werent aimed at me. Some armed men positioned themself between the stage and the quests, however none where looking at me. Was this the work of those chants? Before i could think further about it by body moved towards the slaver at the stage.

"Hey, ya rat, what ye think ye doing?", 'angryface' had noticed me and even the slaver had noticed me now.
[Well, time for stage two.] With another chant the slaver, angryface and the armed men put there hands in front of their eyes.
"My eyes!" "I cant see" "What is this light?!"
Without wasting any time my hands grabed the keys from the slaver and an sword from one guard and stabed angryface. Now there was no doubt that this wasnt just a simple case of food poisoning. [Tell them to remain silent if they whish to live.] I didnt really whish to kill and hesitated to speak. [Now! Or we wont be able to controll the chaos.]
Somewhat indimitadet i complyed with a meak atitude, "PLEASE", my voice was a lot lauder than it should have bean and i was already gaining a lot of attention. After a short pause i put myself together to proced less meak, "REMAIN SILENT IF YOU WHISH TO LIVE."

"Ye damn rat, i will ...", before he could finish his sentence, my blade slit angryface throat. Now even the guards stared directly at me, they seemed to have regained their vision and it looked like they were ready to strike. Yet instead of grabbing their weapon they moved their hand to their eyes again. [Tell them, if they dont drop theire weapon they will be blind forever].
"DROP YOUR WEAPONS OR YOU WILL BE BLIND FOREVER", i yelled in panic as i didnt wish to cripple anyone unrelated. [If you tell them that it is only temporary they will attack us.]

Next i was looking at some guest crawling towards the exit, throwing up whenever they make a progress. "STAY SEATED AND YOU WONT THROW UP", i warned them just like it wanted. Only now there was a true silence established. Most guests returned to their seats.
Meanwhile one of the guards reached for his weapon while his eyes where closed, still even this didnt save him. "No! How?!"

Nevertheless the voice was unfaced by it and moved thowards one of the quests. [Now lets eat, we need more energy to escape. Dont worry the food is fine], it reassured me while i was looking at what the quests throw up. My Body was even eating on its own, so why did it tell me thats its fine?
[As i said, i will explain later. Now ask the quest how many slaves he owns and that you can detect lies]

The ill looking men in clothes that he has vomited on, didnt seem like he wanted to answer. "two."
[A lie], my arm with the sword moved up. "Hiiyi! More then a dozen! Pleas dont kill me!" he shouted while trying to protect himself whith just his arms. This answer seemed to have been enough to lower my hand. I followed as instructed, "You will pay all your slaves for everything they have done for you, like you would pay a worker. Free them and give them free shelter until they can life on their own. And if you dont, you may die from my curse."

I repeated this a few times until i got to a man that looked less ill and had no vomit on himself. "I dont own any and if i dont bring any, my life will be hell. Oh great demon please let me join you." He proclaimed before i could even sit down.
As i didnt say anything back and just sat down in front of him.
"Well", he continued, "i came with a wagon here and can get past the gates without being questioned. Do your magic, i am not lying. I just want to get out of this rotten town."
[Could it be that he knew that i was looking for something like that? Well no matter, he is our best bet.]

Words werent needed this time, after a nod and a handshake, it was time for [Stage three]. Although before that, my body moved towards the slaver, who threw himself onto the ground, seemingly out of fear. "Be praised great demon, i will do as you said. Just spare my lowly existance."
My empty hand moved up in a demanding gesture. What is the deamon doing, i thought, but got interrupted, [I am not a demon!]
Looking back at my hand there was now a monyebag placed on it. [Now we need them to stay  inside for a while]
This time i didnt hesitate to warn them to stay where there where for around half an hour. As i wasnt sure who was worse, the demon inside me or those rotten people.

Once we were outside, i followed the man towards his wagon. He didnt look much older than myself except for his underwhelming beard. I myself was barely old enough for a beard to start growing. Just now a lot of the pain and tirednes were coming back. Though i wasnt safe yet.
Out of an corner a figure appeared. With a quick chant, it collapsed with some sparks to the ground. It strugled to get up. Just enough for us to reach the wagon.

Finaly on the road, i felt that i couldnt keep myself awake i turned my face towards the front of the wagon and gave a warning, "if you betray me, you will die vomiting", not noticing that i regained controll over myself. I wanted to know what the demon had to say, but the world around me just faded away. While the stranger continued on the main road toward the gates. It wasnt really late in the evening, just enough to question anyone getting out of town. But the horses just kept going as no one cared to check.
