"Fine, I'll do it." Ranma sneered in disgust. Disgust of his fellow Keepers, and in Disgust of what he was about to do.
"Very good, Keeper," the Mentor began, "Now I recommend that you summon Horny as it is not befitting a Keeper to appear at such a function without servants or retainers... and a Horned Reaper will add a great deal of prestige to your position. Enough that you will easily dominate the bidding"
Ranma blinked. "How'd that work?"
"Simple, Keeper. These functions are rarely about the value of the slaves themselves. Even a Keeper as pathetic as one of this lot could easily afford dozens of slaves. Its forcing you will on the others, making them back down and acknowledge your dominance. That is the true objective."
Ranma snorted. "Sounds messed up."
"That's politics for you," the Mentor replied flippantly. "Now, summon the Reaper."
Ranma paused for a moment and used his 'Dungeon Eye' to check on his most powerful henchman. What he saw made him slightly green.
Apparently the Reaper had run across a large nest of what seemed to be giant spiders lead by some freaky spider woman, and was currently in the process of slaughtering them. He could actually hear the Reaper's sadistic cries of glee as the giant arachnids were crushed under hoof, and the enraged screams of the spider woman.
"Err... what do you call a spider chick?" Ranma asked.
"Maiden of the Nest. They're sadistic creatures who take great pleasure in savoring the terror of their food, and tend to surround themselves with giant spider minions," the Mentor replied, "Why?"
"Well, Horny found a nest..."
"Ah," the Mentor replied, "Then I suggest you summon him once he is finished having his fun. Horned Reapers are infamously short tempted, and as he has not had a decent slaughter in over a thousand years... I'd loath to see his reaction to having it cut short."
Ranma blinked. "What would he do."
"Probably kill everyone attending the auction then butcher his way to the portal and return home," the Mentor stated, mater of factly.
Ranma winced. "He's that powerful?"
"Yes," the mentor replied, "Its not as if this is an impressive bunch. Only the dragons would be any threat to him, and I do not doubt that they'd be long gone in the minute and a half it would take to tear down that door. He's a beast well deserving the title of demon."
Ranma took a deep breath and entered the steel door.
The interior of the auction stank of decadence. Everything was covered in silk, jewels, or gold and the air reeked of sex and incense. It was like something out of some Arabian nightmare.
The center stage was not unlike a unholy mix of the runway of a fashion show, an auction block, and the stage of a strip club, complete with pole. Circled around an overly plush couches sat the keepers, who were being served wine by beautiful young women, probably slave girls, dressed in jewelry and wisps of cloth that made tissue paper look substantial.
Ranma shuttered as a chill made its why up his spine. Usually he'd avoid this kind of situation like the plague. First, because one of the fiancées would murder him, and second because despite common opinion, he had a fully functional sex drive and tons of relation tension.
Ranma paused, and then gagged as he walked through. Oh please, someone tell him that girl just didn't start to do down on the elf…
As he entered, the others turned to look at him. Most just sneered at him, but not Zeldon. The old man took a short look at Ranma, and then a long steady gaze at the ghost that floated next to him.
Slowly, the old man stood and motioned for his retinue to follow, his eyes locked on the Mentor. Slowly, the physically frail Keeper and his Vampires exited the auction.
As he passed by, he gave Ranma a respectful nod and whispered, "I know who teaches you. I have not lived this long by being fool enough to cross one he considers worthy. Contact me, and we could discuss the details of an alliance."
Ranma nodded dumbly. "Alright."
"Excellent," the old man whispered before leaving.
Ranma stared at the door for a long movement before walking a couch and taking a seat.
"I don't see what's so impressed," Keeper Nelfania oinked condescendingly.
"Every! Everyone!" the weasel like slave master interrupted. "Today, we only have three girls for sale, but I assure you that they are all of the best quality!"
He snapped his fingers and three girls walked out, dressed not unlike Ranma and the others had been on Toma's Island.
"First is Rei, a true flower of the underworld," he stated, motioning to a short haired albino. "I must say that have never met a slave who accepts her place with less complaint."
"Second," he cried out as he walked down the line, motioning to a thin girl with wild black hair. "Is Melfina. She is soft spoken and trained in all the traditional arts. Perfect for those masters to enjoy a little class with their pleasure."
"Finally," he stated with a fanfare as he walked to the last girl, a extremely tall and powerful looking brunette with breasts the size of his head, "We come to Milly. She is a daughter of the barbarian tribes of the north. Powerful, beautiful, as wild in bed as her people are in battle, and an excellent chef!"
Taking a deep breath, he walked to center stage, "As usual our stock it of nothing but the best quality. These girls are trained in all the critical chores required of a servant, and thanks to the wonders of possession based training, are well trained in the arts of pleasure while retaining their virginity. That’s right! These girls are unspoiled territory, so no matter your objective, you'll be the first to dip your wick in their honey pots, or they'll just be good virgin sacrifices to the dark gods, its up to you! Lets start out bidding with…"
