Trust Kasar.

"Depends, if I wanted to find out information about midnight lotus who would I talk to?"

"Ah, a dangerous question my friend, the dark elves tolerated its sell to its own kind as a means to keep its citizens happy, as long as the nobles got a cut of the sells of course. Now though your queen has cut into their profits and petty crime is on the rise. It will not be easy or cheap to find. I do not mind smuggling it for you but it will cost you." Kasar shook her head.

"Is it always about money with you?"

"It's not about money for me. It is about what that money can buy. Back home I would be considered lucky to be the second or third wife to a lowly merchant being the humble daughter of a fisherman. Here I am the queen of my own kingdom and I can go where I like, eat the finest foods, indulge in large quantities of the strongest alcohols, wear the finest clothes, and fuck as many beautiful women as I like. I may not live that long of life mind you but at least it will be a fun ride."

"I don't need the flowers, I need to know how it is grown."

"Ah, you wish to cut out the middle man. A dangerous game you play my friend. Count me in."

"For a cut of the profits of course."

"Of course. Quality food, drink, and whores do not come cheap and if they did I would ask what was the catch." She smiled. "I am sure there are those who wouldn't mind washing their hands of their involvement with this flower before the empire catches up to them but also wouldn't say no to a few coins to retire on. I might know a few people. You go explore the city or whatever else you came to do. I will ask a few I have had dealings with in the past and we will meet up at the towns sorry excuse for a brothel and you can buy me a drink or two."

"Sounds like a plan." I smiled. I was sure

I went about the city browsing her markets. It seemed familiar yet strange at the same time. Many talked in elvish which meant I couldn't understand what they said to each other but many spoke human as well since it was a trade city I guess. As I explored I couldn't help but notice the slaves. There seemed to be one for every four dark elves. Most where lizard men and women who attended dark elves dressed in expensive attire. Others were hobgoblins with dark green skin that hinted at having at least one dark elf parent but were still slaves none the less. Even a few dark elves with light skin like Selena were slaves which made sense why Delilah didn't want to bring Selena here.

I found a strange place which stood out because there where no buildings around it. A path led out into a swamp covered area. The path led me to a large tree that towered over most buildings. The bark and the leaves were dark in color. Mushrooms and vines grew along her trunk. It looked similar to an elder tree but any many ways it did not. Suddenly, several women surrounded me with there arms pointed at me ready to cast a spell as they yelled at me in elvish.

"Sorry, I got lost." I put my hands up hoping like hell they could understand me. Suddenly one of the women threw her head back then slowly lowered it back down and opened her eyes to reveal they where black as night. She gave an order and the others left.

"I must say you have balls coming here." She grinned as she walked closer.

"Sorry I was curious. Are the high priestess here?"

"No, this body belongs to a mere acolyte of mine, I merely am using it." She smiled.

"Your the night mother." I said realizing I was talking indirectly to a goddess.

"Yes. My sister sees much in you and you have done as she bids time and time again without question. Me I have given you choices. Do you try and kill the succubus or save her at the risk of your own life and others. Help the dark elf mother and daughter or leave them to their own fate. Seldom have we ever agreed on much in many centuries but both me and my sister find you interesting." She grinned as she ran a finger across my chest.

"Thank you I guess."

"I am not the type to need thanks but I appreciate the sentiment at least." She smiled.

"What ever happened between you and your sister?"

"My sister sought to guide the elves toward the light through order and discipline. But they lost a piece of themselves as they excepted her power. The passion to reach their true potential. I thought differently. I wanted our children to have free will to choose their own path. I do not meddle. I only give them a choice. Those who choose freewill came to be known as the night elves and she cursed them for it."

"Does the body you possess now have free will now?"

"She choose to come here, to serve me of her own accord. She was not driven here by sexual desire as my sister curses those who serve her. I sometimes wear my followers from time to time as you would change clothes but I would never take a body against there will and I make it enjoyable for them." She said pulling down one side of the acolytes robe and rubbed her breast and then pinched her nipple playing at it.

"What about during the full moon?" I asked.

"If it was in my power I would have them be more like you humans. Capable of enjoying sex as often and as much as they would like but I could not completely undo my sisters magic being the younger of the two but I could weaken her hold on them." She shrugged. "I do hope you live long enough for us to see one another again. Until then I look forward to seeing what you do next." She said and lowered her head then lifted it back up and the acolyte fixed her robe to cover her breast and left quickly. I decided to leave while I still had the chance.

It didn't take me long to stumble onto the slave market. All manner of men and beast were held in cages as one by one they were brought to the stage as an announcer called out bids. I saw all manner of races and halflings. Even orcs were sold as hired muscle to the highest bidder. The few ogres I had meet would have died fighting rather then become playthings for another race.

I understood enough to figure out what coin they were calling out. Typically it started at two or three copper and went as high as seven or eight silver. Only a few got as high as gold which were always female with exceptional good looks. Typically dark elf halflings.

A new lot was brought up on stage which instantly caught my eye. Four human women and one light elf. My stomach turned at the site to see humans and elves being sold. They brought the elf first and began bidding at only one copper though it quickly went up into silver and finally someone mentioned a gold. I could buy them. I had the gold but I wondered if I should. Morally I knew it was the right thing but It also wouldn't be wise for me to draw attention to myself. I could maybe play it off that I was a slave trader and keep my cover as a merchant.
