Chapter 14: Party and Auction

Arriving at the tribe, I did the usual work of dismantling the hunt and quickly made my way to the library for my class with Lyra.

There, she taught me the workings of spells and spell casting. It was a truly complex subject. 

Later, I headed to Rina's lab. She had a new hypothesis that might help with the as yet unnamed potion that makes semen addictive.

The next 4 days until the auction were pure hunting, alchemy research, learning spells and testing the new hypothesis. Also, knowing my financial needs, I sold a good number of potions. Although I was still living with my family, I had many expenses such as alchemy materials or paying Zin and Glen to herd Seraph. Naturally I didn't forget to pump her breast milk and slowly increase her arousal and need for my cock.

I opened the status window to see my progress.

'The hunt has paid off' I thought.

"Zarok, are you excited?" asked Rina as she brought me back to reality, we made our way to the square where the party and auction was to take place. 

The square was decorated with garlands and torches, and the tribesmen had already gathered, celebrating with music and dancing. As we approached, the chieftain stood on a raised platform, drawing everyone's attention. His voice rang out clear and powerful:

"Today we celebrate our best hunters." After a few names, it was my turn. "Congratulations to Zarok for capturing a human wizard!

Applause and cheers erupted around me. I didn't particularly feel any pride or appreciation at receiving such recognition, my attention was on the auction. Rina patted me on the back, smiling broadly.

"You deserve it, brother," she said with a wink.

As the party continued, I searched the crowd for Lyra. Finally, I found her chatting with a group of elders. I approached and she greeted me with a warm smile.

"Zarok, I see you are enjoying the fruits of your labor," she commented. "Tomorrow, will you be coming to the library?

I nodded, grateful for his words. After a while, the chieftain took the floor again to announce the start of the auction. Murmurs of anticipation filled the air as people prepared to bid for the slaves and goods presented.

The auction began with minor items, but soon came the most anticipated moment: the presentation of the slaves. 

Among them, I recognised someone who interested me deeply: Seraphina's father. His countenance was somber, but he maintained a dignity that could not be broken.

I felt a pang of determination. I wanted to destroy that dignity along with what little dignity his daughter had left. When the bidding began, I raised my hand without hesitation, ready to offer whatever amount was necessary to secure it. 

The competition was fierce, for he was the best warrior, but the price was not high either, for he was a man and there was little use for him except as bait and a miner. Finally, with a final bid that silenced everyone, the auctioneer's hammer fell. Seraphina's father was mine. 'Good thing I got money from the potions. A sigh of relief escaped my lips, as he was a key part of my plans, while Rina looked at me with a mixture of surprise and bemusement.

"What are you going to do with it?" she asked as we left the auction platform.

"All in good time, Rina," I replied, thinking about the complex plots that were spinning in my head. The night was young and the party in the square was still going on, but I was already planning my next steps.

As time went on, I took advantage of my drinking and tiredness to flee the party. Although I had some interest in partying, there were more pressing matters.

My sister and I went to meet Seraph's father, a tall and powerful looking man, his eyes showing his strong will. 

"Rina, I need you to bring Seraph's father to my room in half an hour," I said to my sister, "and prepare the materials for the hypothesis we have been developing," I added just before I walked through the door with Seraph's father.

I began to mentally check the plan, making sure everything was in order.

Just the thought of how Seraph's father will look when I introduce him to his daughter is enough to excite my sadistic side.
