*all my posts in red pertain to the auction* The crowd seems to be settling down, and all eyes are fixed on the auction stage. All the lights in the auction house go out, leaving only a spotlight illuminating a figure on the stage, a dapper fey in full gala costume. When they speak, their very voice echoes like an orchestra through the hall. "Ladies, Gentlemen, and all distinguished guests in between, we welcome you to the Crimson Hall. In just a moment, all manner of purchasable wonders will parade before you, a selection of the very best!"
They clear their throat. "So, without further ado: Our first item!" With a snap of their fingers, another masked fey appears, leading a small, gaunt figure onto the stage. Spiky purple crystals jut out from their arms and shoulders; the standard-issue shirt has had its sleeves torn away to reveal the glittering gems. The figure seems to be bound not with ropes, not with chains, only with magic. But their face is a mask of peace. The auctioneer continues their speech. "As you can see, our first offering for your consideration is a Gifted, and this one is clearly very special. Have you ever seen such exquisite amethyst structures? We'll start the bidding at six thousand gold!"
The Prince slowly stands from the crowd. The inky giant raises a hand. "Seven."
"Seven! Do we have eight!"
A robbed figure looks up, and gazes curiously at the Gifted on stage. They lift a hand up, and a completely gem encrusted hand rises up from their robes. "Seven thousand, five hundred."
"7500!" The auction caller seizes the Gifted by the hair, pulling its head up to face the audience. They do this all without breaking their impeccable stage presence. "Do we have eight thousand gold?"

"Nine." Demands the Prince, his deep voice rumbling the room.

"Nine thousand one hundred."

A young man stands in the corner of an alley, a coin purse filled with money sitting at his side. He has a small golden bird in his hands.
A sunset colored ram bangs against the bars of its cage, eyes alight with fury.

He tilts his head. "Do you know Morse? Perhaps you could flash the seals to communicate."
The shadowy creature within the jar raises its head with great effort. It shakes its head before dropping it back to the floor.
"Well then, I'll release you, and we'll consider this... a debt." He twists the lid. The seals don't break. The jar does. In half.
"Now then. How do you feel?"
The creature falls to the dirt, its form slightly liquid. It looks up at its savior and reaches an appendage out to shake the prince's hand.

A slender dryad with bright red hair, seemingly holding drops of moisture, walks up to view the ram closely. "What manner of creature might this be?"

The seller places her hand on the cage, sighing. "Some kind of beast. Got some unique coating and can fly but nothing much else. And it hits real hard."

"Ten."
"Thirteen."
"Twenty." He replies casually.
"TWENTY!" The auctioneer shouts, the crowd going absolutely wild.

The creature's tendril of darkness reaches further, touching where the prince's heart would be.
