Bittersweet Occurence (For Jani)
 

Sheer was kneeling in the middle of the town square of the nearby society of humans and other semi-magical beings. His pale blue skin easily marked him different and his dark purple hair made him look almost feminine, if it weren't for the fiery collar bound magically to his neck, he'd kill them all. It'd been only a day since he'd been attacked and kidnapped from the glacier plains, the home of him and his people, he was just under five feet tall making him quite short, his eyes a frost blue, his lips a light navy. He was being sold as a slave, bound permanently to the collar of fire on him, if he disobeyed, a single word would make the collar shrink, burning easily through his low temperature flesh and killing him. Though his kind were incredibly rare, maybe ten left alive in the whole world, their unique magic allowing the ice to remain frozen and prevent a cataclysmic flood, so he doubted they'd go to such an extent.

Jani, a rather tall and handsome vampire was walking into the town square as he saw the "pets" as they were called. He walked up to them to get a closer look, paying most of his attention twords Sheer. He turned to face the man selling them with a sinister grin. "You there. How much for this one?" He asked, pointing to Sheer.

"Hehehe, that one's a magnificent specimen, very few of them are alive, so I'd think thirty thousand is modest" The salesman said, the price probably quadruple that of a normal slave but he did have a honest point

"Rare species you say? Well for $30,000 one can't go wrong." Jani said, smirking as he pulled out his wallet. "Before I buy him tell me, will I have a problem training him?"

The man grinned, "See that collar? that's a flame collar, he's a ice faerie, simply say a word and it'll kill him, though there is a issue that his kind are very important, but he seems to of lightened up to us, besides, the collar has several abilities" He said putting his hand on Sheer's shoulder, suddenly ice grew on his arm, he screamed and pulled away, his entire arm frozen solid by the boy and he gritted his teeth, "Allow me to demonstrate, Torment!" he commanded and Sheer let out a cry of agony as the collar electrocuted him, collapsing to his side as he writhed in pain

Jani watched with a sadistic smirk. "I'll take him. Besides if he misbehaves I have my ways of dealing with it." He said as he paid the man before looking to Sheer. "Get up!" He barked at him. "I have places to go and I don't wish to waste time by having to drag your ass with me."

The man nodded and handed him a list, "Those are the words and what they do to him" he said, the list had only a few words

- Torment - Sends body into unbearable pain for hours
- Blaze - Causes the collar to heat his body, putting him in a state of paralysis
- Extinguish - The collar will kill him
- Release - Free's the occupant from the collar permanently, WARNING, Only extremely dangerous slaves are bound with such a collar and release could result in a horrible aftermath, it is highly encouraged to never release your slave from the collar.

Sheer, was writhing on the ground still from the collars pain on him, unable to do anything as the collar continued to hurt him

Jani looked at the list, pocketing it as he picked Sheer up and placed him over his shoulder. "Thanks for the list. Might need them with this boy." He said with a chuckle. "Now we have errands to run." He said as he walked twords the shopping area.

Sheer was in too much pain to properly control his magic, his body completely unresponsive as he began crying from the pain

'That man was a bit too rough on him. Now how the fuck am I gonna carry everything while he's like this?' Jani thought to himself as he kept a firm arm around Sheer. "Can you hear me boy? Say something or just twitch if you can."
