Sold! And Yet...

As the auction begins, the room falls silent except for the hushed whispers among the audience members. The old slaver points at Ben first, "Starting bid for this fine specimen here is 20 caps!" he announces loudly. A few people murmur amongst each other before an older man in fancy clothes stands up and throws down a pouch filled with glittering caps onto the stage.

The bidding war ensues, with prices skyrocketing higher and higher until finally, a burly human with tattoos all over his body wins the bid for Ben. He grins menacingly as he drags Ben away, leaving you alone on the stage once more. Your heart races with fear and anxiety, knowing that it's your turn next.

"Alright then," the old slaver says, turning back towards you, "let's see what we have here… Starting bid for our winged friend is 25 caps... come on he's Captain of the wind riders! Come now, don't be shy, let's get those bids rolling in!" Again, the crowd starts whispering and discussing amongst themselves. You can feel their eyes burning into your skin like fire, making you shiver involuntarily.

Finally, after what feels like hours of tense silence, a woman dressed in elegant silk steps forward and places her bid - 125 caps. The room erupts in applause and cheers as she takes center stage to claim her prize: you. As soon as the auction ends, the woman roughly pulls you off the stage by your chained ankles, dragging you through the crowded theater towards her home.

As you enter her mansion, you notice that it's filled with exotic artifacts from all over the wasteland. It seems this woman has quite the taste for collecting rare items – including slaves. She leads you up to one of the upper floors where there are several rooms lined along a long hallway. Each door has intricate carvings depicting various scenes of pleasure and pain with prices listed below. Your heart sinks at the thought of what might happen next. "Welcome to your new life." She says coldly before pushing you into a darkened room, as you realize what this place really is.

You hear the click of a lock echoing behind you as the door shuts tightly, plunging the room into darkness. Panic sets in as you fumble around trying to find something... anything to help escape or even just understand where you are. After what feels like hours of stumbling blindly, you finally manage to locate a small window high up on the wall. Some slaves could never reach it, flapping your wings you lift up easily... You reach out and push open the stubborn window latch. With all your strength, you pull yourself up and squeeze through the narrow opening. Falling heavily onto the rooftop outside, you take deep breaths for a moment, gasping for air as adrenaline courses through your veins. As you catch your breath outside the mansion, you realize that while you have escaped one terrible situation, there is still an entire world full of danger and uncertainty waiting for you beyond these walls. But for now, you savor this moment of freedom - it tastes sweeter than any victory you could ever imagine.

Knowing you can't allow yourself to be spotted flying over the city, you start walking down the street, not knowing exactly where you'll go next. The city stretches before you, filled with both promise and peril. Your heart beats wildly in your chest, echoing the rhythm of each step you take towards whatever comes next. And though fear lingers just beneath the surface, you know that you won't let it hold you back anymore. After everything you've been through, you are stronger because of it – a survivor ready to face anything life throws at you. Right now you must try and find Ben, you know that be must be some where in the city….

You spend hours wandering through the bustling streets, searching high and low for any sign of Ben. You ask passersby if they've seen someone who matches his description but most either ignore you or shake their heads sadly, clearly uninterested or too afraid to get involved. As night falls, desperation begins to set in; every corner you turn feels like another dead end. Just when hope seems lost, you spot a familiar figure being dragged into a old building that cobbled together out of junk. All the ground entrances are being guarded, but you can fly so spotting a opening high up you flap your wings and fly up to it slipping inside on a broken and abandon upper floor…

Inside, the dim light from outside filters through cracks in the walls revealing piles upon piles of discarded items - remnants of what was once somebody else’s home. And there he is, chained to an ancient radiator near one wall. His new owner is doing something surprising, kneeling down in front of Ben the burly human with tattoos all over his body is admiring Ben's huge cock. "Damn bird boi… you are hung." Leans in and as you watch, he takes that big cock into his mouth and begins to suckle on it making Ben moan out loudly…

You land softly behind him, ready for action. You know this situation could quickly escalate into **** or worse if not handled carefully. With a swift motion, you grab the man by surprise, pulling him off Ben before he has time to react further. The sudden movement causes both men to stumble backward, knocking over some old furniture along the way until they come to rest against another pile of junk. Your heart pounds in your chest as adrenaline courses through your veins; every instinct tells you to strike now while the enemy is momentarily disoriented but you hold back… just barely. Instead, you use your free hand to reach up and unchain Ben from the radiator. "Dar! I'm glad to see you... but couldn't you have waited a few minutes to rescue me... That guy could really suck a cock." As soon as he's free, you pull him towards safety away from their captor who seems dazed and confused after being pulled off so suddenly. Together, you manage to escape the building without any more trouble. Once outside, you can finally breathe again knowing that Ben is safe with you once more. But even though danger has passed for now, there’s no denying how tense things have become between the two of you – an electric charge lingering long after the threat had vanished. And it doesn't take much longer before curiosity gets the better of either one (or possibly both) leading them down a path neither expected…

As night turns into day, exhaustion begins to set in. You find yourself sitting on a rooftop next to Ben, watching the sun rise together. The events of last night are still fresh in your mind - rescuing Ben from his tormentors, escaping danger by mere inches. It was intense, terrifying, exhilarating all at once. Now here we sit, battered and bruised but alive; survivors against impossible odds. Your fingers trace over the scars on your body reminding you of everything you've been through. Looking over at Ben, you see similar marks marring his skin as well. In this moment, surrounded by silence except for the distant humming of city life below, something passes between you - unspoken words exchanged without uttering a single sound.
