Men and women sold daily to Lords as presents or slaves. A few occurences they would take a man or women as a concubine.
The land had suffered for three generations until Emporer Akihito brought water to the poor land. They rejoiced. But the natural order was disrupted, no one questioned this. He eventually died and the water supply was becoming less and less. Others had tried to find his secret maybe he made a pact with the Water Dragon. But non succeded.
The new Emporer was his son, Emporer Taizong. He was ruthless in running his army of destruction. The Archmage backing them up. They say the gods have forsaken the citizens of the land. The glass sea impossible to pass.
This story starts in the arena of the city, the slave market underneath the stone and wood building. Spirits seemed to roam more often. The dragons have not been seen in more then twenty years. The heat of the area more then enough to cause anyone to sweat. Lords and Ladies wlaking about looking from cage to room for a new slave, concubine or something else. Nothing was out of their reach. Not one living creature would not be bought, eventually.

" This one is but a shining pearl in the darkest of pools. A dancer, paper fans were their weapon of choice if any" ushered a man. His eyes were less of an almond shape, so they were smaller. Men and women crowded into a fairly large tent. They seen a figure dance with grace, black paper fans with a red rose on each one. The turns were magnificient, the style used was older then the Emperor himself. " As you can see we have nothing but the best. Slaves, anything you like. But for this treasure we will only accept the highest of sums" he was already conning them.

Wearing thick black armor, a man walked up to the dancer, his demonish helmet veiling his face. "Light trash." He muttered rudely in his deep pitch as he continued to look at the slaves. He still didn't seem one to fit his job so he walked up to the seller. "These are all crap, dont you have any that can farm?" He asked, treating them like animals. There were pure Shinning Samurai, as well as pure Dark Samurai. The odd thing was that the only way a Shinning Samurai or Dark Samurai could truely be created, is if they were the opposite. This Dark Samurai hated light, despised Palidins. Both were rare. You would always see imposters who gloat, but never one who actually was. Shinning Samurai and Dark Samurai were originally created by dragons, one light, one dark who opposed each other. Both dragons were from the same litter of eggs, thus their curse upon humans failed, instead of them being how they wanted to be, the people starting to change to opposite side upon the age of twenty-five. This Samurai was twent-four, going on twenty-five in a couple weeks. He didn't think much of the curse, he was evil, born and raised it.

Another man came up and had started a bidding war starting at ¥100 for the dancer, as it turned out the dancer was young boy. No more then fifteen years old. He had the darkest of black hair, thick enough. Rich in vibrant colour, he was smooth all over. His body features slightly feminine, the brightest of green eyes though. He wore a white toga styled outfit with strapped sandals. He wasn't very tall either possibly 5'7 seemed the most he would grow to. The price started to accumulate right now it stood at ¥1238. " Can anyone pay more?" asked the groutesque man.

"I dont want this little bird kisser." The man snapped. What use could he possibly have over a dancer? He needed someone to plant him a special weed that he can use to smere poison all over his weopon. A dancer could never help him there. The man hasn't decided to serve anyone, for the fact that he hated the thought of anyone being higher than him. The new emperor was a spoiled brat. Though this knight was evil and hated light, he still had honor and a conciounce. His weopon of choice was a self-made katana which was four and a half feet long. It's sheath made of a plastic-like substance sat by his side. Katanas were greater than any sword for the fact they are good for both cutting limbs and stabbing, whereas regular swords are mainly for small cuts and good stabs. Someone could just sense the darkness that floated around him, dark powers floating through his veins.

A young hung out back, she wore a silvery-grey toga dress. She was an aquantice of the black knight. She slinked her way through tha crowd to him and leaned towards him. " Buy him" she whispered to him. She was Eva, an aspiring musician. She knew this man through another they bonded at times. She was sold to him as a servant then freed ironically. " He might come in handy" she commented. She had long luxurious black hair and deep hazel eyes. She was far from ugly.

No one knew of the man as a human. Since Dark Samurai's weren't human until they became a Shinning Samurai, and vice versa. "And what use would that be? I'm not going to spend a fortune so you can get a lap dance from a kid." He said quite coldly. She should obviously be used to his rudeness. After all, it wasn't exactly his fault, he was like this since day one, since his parents were evil. His name was Damon, though he only told that to her, everyone reffered to him as thing or the Dark Samurai. The only true way to know a true Dark Samurai is by their eyes. They are yellow like a cat's and seem to glow in the moon light. The only Dark Samurai that have glowing eyes are the ones that start as Dark Samurai. The glare is the only light within them that sparks their turning to a Shinning Samurai. The ones that are Dark Samurai are lighter than ones who start as Palidins, Though they may not seem it.

" A lap dance from a child? Please honey, you could use it more then I. But you could send him to the Emporer as a gift. To ruin him. But only if you trained him first. You know how that ignorant man loves the arts , he enjoys beauty from men or women" she put it as seductave as possible.
The boy stood on spot scared to know what may come of him. He stared down on the dirst ground. ' What will happen to me?' he thought with a tinge of fear. Once he was sold he would be lead out with his wrists shackled in chains.

"I see no profit in it for me. What use would I have in killing him?" Damon asked as he turned his head to the boy. "Look at the little shrimp. The mere sight of buyers makes him tremble. What makes you think he'll be strong enough to kill an emperor? Besides, the path to darkness does not come easy." countered. Sure Damon was selfish, but he also looked at options with every aspect.

" Then make him over come his fears, make him become the subtle warrior. Infuse his knowledge of dance and create a dance of blades, or something. And with the Emperor gone they will need a strong leader since he has yet to take a wife or to sire an heir" she argued with Damon further. " Plus if you do send him, you can guide him since the Emperor wil want you around more often. He might even take the boy as a concubine, then that might be his chance to kill" she pressed on.
Finally looking up to see the buyers in their idiocy, two figures stood out most to him. The man who called him trash and a very beautiful lady, who was talking to that very man. ' Are they going to buy me?' he thought.

Damon sighed, the woman always had a way to get through even the most thick of darkness. He pull out a large bag of gold and handed it to her. It was full of gold, a good five to six thousand. The bag was also quite heavy, but to him it was light. "Fine, buy him. But feeding and changing his rags lies in your responsibility." He said and and walked over to a wall and leaned against it, watching the duel of language as people bet over the child. "Ugly youth.." He mumered, looking at the kid. Besides that woman, youth and beauty were ugly to him.

" ¥11,500" called the petite woman in the middle of the crowd. In this area no slave was ever paid that much..... why now? " Sold!" yelled the black haired woman. The chains were shackled on, the boy now a slave to a new Mistress it has seemed. He had kept his mouth shut for now. Walking behind her to see that man again.
" This is Damon he will be your new master, He isn't a very patient person so listen well. Be perscise when you talk to him. I see your clever hopefully that will help you" she said to the young teenager.

"Listen, and listen well. It's your choice whether you end up in heaven or hell, it all matters on your behavior. You turn out a failure I'll kill you. You'll be going through hard labor. We'll talk more when we get to the hovel." He said rather coldly and quickly. He was being quite serious. The boy will be feeling alot of pain, but in the end the pain will benefit him, as well as Damon. Such a light character turning to darkness, this will take Damon much time and patience. Who knows how far the emperor will spread at that time.

He nodded, he already knew that his new master wouldn't care for his name or history. His dances were far more then meest the eye. Knowing that if he said anything he would sound quite pathetic. He knew that some of the slave were.... used for other means then physical labour. He desperately hoped he would not be apart of that. Would he ever be what he was? ' If I'm lucky maybe I'll be able to do what I've wanted to do for a long time.... exact my revenge' he thought with an emense desire.

Damon looked around and sniffed the air before turning to the woman. "We must hurry. I sense a large multitude of light. A Shinning Samurai is near.." He said as his dim yellow eyes scanned the people. Dark Samurai weren't afraid of Shinning Samurai, but oddly enough, it is the Shinning Samurai who hunt the Dark Samurai. Dark Samurai are the ones mostly for 'peace' since they dont go and attack Shinning Samurai, thought they do cause much mischief. Damon might have to fight a Shinning Samurai this day. He's the only Dark Samurai to slay two Shinning Samurai while fighting them simultaneously. He grasped the blade in case trouble starts, sure enough a white stallion rode by with it's master in bright armor. The blue-eyed knight only gave a meddlesome glare at Damon before riding off without causing trouble.
