Thread: A Queen's new maid (MessedupRp x DancingRain)

Miki couldnt help but wrinkle her nose as a barrage of horrible smells, coming from the harbor and slave quarters, came her way when she was lead out of the ships hull. With every step she made the shackles around her ankles and legs made a wrinkling sound. The bright sun made her squint her eyes as she hadnt been the light in a long time. It probably had been weeks now. Maybe even months. She wasnt sure anymore as she had lost count of time. The only way she could tell another day had passed was when the lanterns had been illuminated and doused. By her estimate of traveling along the land and sea it probably had been half a year since she had been captured. As she and the other slaves slowly marched towards a certain building, Miki couldnt help but wonder how all this had happened. Six months or so ago she was happily walking through the forest, foraging for herbs when she suddenly was catapulted into the air. It took her a few seconds to realize what had happened. Somehow she had been careless and walked straight into a trap. Frustrated at her own mistake she took out her knife and wanted to cut open the netting that was holding her. However no matter how much she tried to cut into the ropes, they wouldnt budge. It was then she realized these were ropes imbedded with magic. At that time she began to panic. Quickly she closed her eyes and tried to summon her magic. As a Kitsune she had always had a huge affinity for fire magic. So she planned on burning the a portion of the ropes holding her up. Sure perhaps there might be a chance some of the burning parts could hit her and leave wounds. But that was a lot better compared to what might happen if she wasnt able to get out of this trap. Therefor Miki tried to unleash her magic. The problem was that each time she tried to summon the magic needed for her spell, the magic would disperse. The panic that had settled in already now grew huge. Not only were these ropes imbedded with magic so that they couldnt be cut by regular knives, now it turned out that they also had a spell upon them that prevented magic from being cast while incased by the ropes. This showed that this trap had been specifically made to trap her kind. And that special hunters had been send out. Immediately she started gnawing and slashing at the ropes. She tried everything, screaming for help, begging the Gods to help her. She even started to hope that the hunters might stay away long enough that someone else from her village noticed she didnt came back on time. After all tonight she once again had to perform for the travelers. So when she didnt show up on time then perhaps they would send out people to come look for her and they might be able to get her down. Sadly this wasnt the case. Only an hour or so passed before a group of men appeared from the bushes. All of them had a wicked grin on their face. However Miki didnt plan to go down without a fight. Her plan was to immediately pounce on the first guy in her grasp when they lowered her to the ground and open the ropes. To her surprise and dismay they lowered her but never opened the netting. Instead they tied it to the center of a large pole and had two man standing on either sides of the pole, had them lift it and walk away like that. So she cursed at them, spat at them, clawed at them if they came to close. But it was all without any effect. She just was carried further and further away from her village. Miki realized that even when they started to suspect something might have happened to her and send out search parties, she would already be taken too far away. After that, her trip was pretty straightforward. Once the hunters reached their outpost, she got sedated by a simple dart from behind. Once she woke up, her clothes already had been swapped out for rags and her wrists and ankles had been shackled and chained. Naturally these slave traders knew what they were doing and the shackles and chains were embedded with the same spells as the ropes. Preventing her, and everyone else, from trying to perform magic. That way they were all easily transported over land towards the nearest port. There they were loaded into the hull of a ship until right now they were told to unload. By now Miki was led into a huge building. Once inside the chains were removed but not the shackles. And in case any of the slaves were thinking of trying to escape now, huge guards with even huger swords were posted everywhere. And Miki was sure there probably were also a bunch of bowmen and mages placed on the second floor to make damn sure no one could escape. So she didnt bother. Instead she just followed the orders given to her. Escaping could always be done later. But as long as she was shackled, she knew her chances of actually doing so were slim. She had seen enough of her other fellow slaves try and fail. And unlike them, she still hadnt given up hope. She still believed one day she would once again walk through the forests freely. Thats why she didnt do anything foolish which would cause her a dogs dead. After her chains were removed. Miki was led away from the other slaves into a separate room. A male gave out orders in a foreign language to two maids. The maids nodded and soon Miki was stripped of her rags and had two vases of fragrant warm water poured over her. After that the maids started to scrub down every inch of her body. Even her tails were thoroughly cleaned. For the first time in half a year, she didnt hate her own scent. When they were done, a blue checkered skirt and a large blue sapphire on a long rope were placed on her. After that the maids left but the two guards that had followed her into the room, still stayed and watched her closely. However Miki had scanned the room while the two maids had been busy cleaning her up. The only way in and out of this room was the door from which she had been lead inside. The same door the maids had left. Besides that there werent even windows as the room was by a magic source on the ceiling. Probably a simple illumination spell. With a sigh, she just kept standing there and petting her own tail. Time moved on until a strange man entered. He stared at Miki for a while, said some things to her but since she didnt understand, she just simply stood there. The man then frowned, said something to the guards who simply shrugged before stepping forward to Miki. In front of her he started to talk once again but also starting making gestures. It became clear to Miki that he wanted to follow her. Nodding her head that she understood, she follow the guy as he lead her through the building and back outside. As her arms were free, this time she raised her arms to shield herself from the sun. Though this caused her to stop and this was clearly not something the man nor the guards wanted as she suddenly was shoved forward. By following the man, or being shoved by the guards in the right direction, Miki was led to a stage. On it was a large man with a belly as big as an drum shouting out weird things while pointing at the two skinny men standing on stage. While he was shouting, people in the crowd in front of the large wooden stage shouted back. This kept going for a while until only the big man on stage was talking. It wasnt until that moment that Miki realized this was an auction, a slave auction. And by where she was standing she understood she was up next. Panic once again set in and now she did try to break free. But the guard simply restrained her and pushed her up the stairs. Once she was standing up in the center of the stage, the fat man moved towards her. Ladies and gentlemen! To finish of todays auction we have a special feature! From far away in the east we bring you the half human, half fox Kitsune! As you can see this is full grown one who has already all of her tails! These are fierce creatures who specialize in fire magic but are fully capable of all kinds of magic. However with the shackles on her, we have bound her magic. Later on you can put restriction spells on her making it so that she can perhaps perform a bit of magic to entertain your guest but nothing to harm you or your precious visitors. However there is a drawback as she doesnt understand our language yet. Either a spell must be cast on her by an experienced mage or she has to be manually thought! As she is in her prime we normally would start with seventy gold coins but in this rare occasion well start at ninety five gold coins. The reason for this is because before she was captured and after her capture, we have personally seen shes an exceptional dancer that managed to bring entire groups of people into a trance of pure silence as they stared at her. Now who wouldnt want to own this lovely specimen? Let the bidding begin! The fat man shouted out but true as he said Miki didnt understand a word of what he was saying.
