And Sold

Marc, "So you didn't tell me why the world divided? Do you not talk about it?"

The servant nodded yes.

Marc, "I see. I am sorry to force you to answer it." and then went on eating his lunch.

Servant 2 came in to bring his drink.

Servant 3, "Sir, We should take our leave now."

Marc took off his legs over him, "Alright!"

And then they left.

Rasvol said in a musical tune, "And so, let the auction of Persis begin."

Marc, "Persis?"

Rasvol looked over at Marc and nodded yes with a smile.

Everything around paused.

Ses, "That is the name they have given you during the creation period."

Marc, "So, I am Persis in this world, huh?"

Ses, "Yes, and I would say that matches you too. The sounds similar to mine too!"

Marc gave no reaction to it.

Ses, "Come on, That should have at least put a smile on your face. Anyways! This will be a new experience for you, so watch it closely. Don't forget you are Persis." Everything started to move again.

Marc, "I am Persis."

Then all the screens appeared again, but this time they had names under them and a column with 0 on top of their screens.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The names of the 7 were as follows from left to right: 0-Wath, 0-June, 0-Karen, 0-Q'fon, 0-April, 0-K'far and 0-Shivan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karen lifted her left hand with one finger up.

Rasvol in a musical tune, "Mrs Karen starts the bidding with a call of 3 million Orz, going once."

Immediately Wath raised his left hand with three fingers up.

Rosvol in a musical tune, "Mr Wath has raised it to 6 million Orz."

Then June raised her left hand with 1 finger up, and soon after that April raised her right hand with 2 fingers up.

Rasvol changed to music to a dramatic tune and in a musical[dramatic] tune, "Mrs June has raised it to 7 million Orz, Oh! then Mrs April bids over it to make it 7.5 million Orz. And going once. Going twice"

Then Wath lifted both his hands raising 2 fingers in both his hands.

Rasvol in a musical tune, "And now Mr Wath has raised it to double digits. 10 million Orz, going once. Going Twice." He then saw Q'fon raise his right hand with 3 fingers.

Rasvol in a musical tune, "Sultan Q'fon has begun his raid starting with 10.75 million Orz."

K'far raised his right hand with all 5 fingers up.

Rasvol said in a musical tune, "Now here we go the bidding war has taken its shape with K'far outbidding Q'fon to make it 12 million Orz."

Then June and April raised their right hand simultaneously with the same amount of fingers[3].

Rasvol said in a musical tune, "What a controversy, Mrs. April and Mrs. June have joined the fray, at the same time. Both of them led the bid with 18 million Orz. Going once." Immediately, June raised her left hand with 1 finger up.

Rasvol said in a musical tune, "And now it is 19 million Orz. Going once. Going twice. And I see no one hand."

Then Shivan finally raised his left hand with his 5 fingers and wrapped it and showed 5 fingers again and wrapped it and showed 1 finger. That action silenced everyone even the music for a while.

After the music started to resume, Rasvol in a musical tune, "That was like a bombshell being dropped at the auction. The Price has jumped to 30 million Orz. Is there anyone here to challenge Mr Shivan here, I hope so. The auction for the Humunculus is now in its climax with Mr Shivan at the front. Going once. Going twice. Going thrice. And Sold to Mr Shivan"

Persis, "They went all this for me? Am I even worth that much?"

Ses paused everything, "Oh no, Persis! This was not it. This money they make is because of their influence in the order of Sunrise and the more the control they have in it the more they make. You have to forget about this. What comes next will be dynamic I promise. I haven't told you everything about this world because I wanted you to know it for yourself"

Persis, "So, how do you do this?" he said as he looked around the room to see everyone and everyone stopped moving.

Ses, "I had expected you would ask that. Well, I am god after all and everything here is my creation even you."

Persis, "I want to see the world. The whole world, I want to know it and learn new things."

Ses said, "I know. I know you would, that is why I brought you here", and then the time resumed.

Shivan after the win was announced, "Like I said. I will choose your future."

Persis, "I don't think so."

Then the ground beneath them shook.

Rasvol, "What was that now?"

One of his servants came to him and informed him of what just struck them.

The music kept going when he stopped conducting it.

Rasvol, "Alright then you can leave us now." and then his servant left.

Rasvol, "There is nothing to worry my dear guests. We can continue with the auction of our next item which is," and when he was about to bring the next item to the stage the ground shook again but this time it hit even harder.

Persis was thinking, "This might be the thing that Ses meant." as he was being taken by the Servants that took care of him before.

Ses, "Right on the money" The time didn't pause like the other times.

Persis was thinking, "Why is it that I am the only one that can hear you?"

Ses, "It is because I am just a voice in your head and everything around you is just a delusion!"

Persis kept silent thinking that this all could be all just one big delusion.

Ses, "Hey! I was just kidding."

As they were taking Persis out of there the wall next to them cracked open like a blast and entered a lady with green hair wearing a helmet with 2 horns like the devil. She looked at Persis will her blue eyes which mesmerized Persis as he hadn't seen such eyes before.

She, "I found one! He's a child. With gills, it looks like." she said as she kept her right hand next to her right ear.

The servants guarded him away from her.

Rasvol, "Get away from here with the price. I will deal with this."

The lady looked around to face Rasvol, "No, Your wrong I will not be the one you will be facing." Then she took out 3 capsule-like objects and threw them in front of Rasvol.

The Capsule thing divided into 2 and started to float around. Those were drones which were targeted at Rasvol.

The lady, "Ya! I threw them at him. Now it's your turn!" She did that as she placed her right hand on her ear like before.

Persis, "Why is she talking to herself?"

Servant 1 who was beside him, "I don't think she is talking to herself, probably a micro earpiece. We have to get out of here!" She said that as she held onto his hand.

But Persis didn't move and stood his ground. Servant 1 tried to pull his hand and tried to drag him out of there. It was not working as he didn't even move an inch after her tries. Then the other 2 came to help her. It worked this time as Servant 3 took him on his shoulders to get out of there.

Then the door opened and came in an old man with a bald head and a long beard.

The old man, "It took me some time getting here, I am sorry, child."

Persis thought the old man was talking to him so he pointed at himself. The old man nodded no and also waved his hand with a smile.

The lady, "Whatever Old man! This Donny is really hard to beat."

The old man walked slowly to Rasvol, "Leave him to me. As we planned."
