Seeing that things were about to start Remey and Su found walker and Gil. They watched as rows of red hooks tweed chairs were brought out along with a table of bidding cards. As the party leader walker headed up and accepted his bidding card. Their number would be 6. All he would have to do is raise his card and the bid would be made off the set increment, if he desires more he could shout a price.

The guests all took their seats, walker noticed Markus raven at the farthest possible seat, and Inwardly chuckled. The tamers had sat two rows ahead of them but Walker noticed Elise glance at them with a smile. This was a good sign for them.

The room started to quiet down as a tall woman in a flowing white dress took the stage. Her presence demanded attention. This woman was most definitely the one that would be selling the items today.

"Hello and welcome to our esteemed auction house of the garnet family. We are truly blessed to welcome you all here. Tonight we have some very interesting items. We shall begin with the sunburning sword at a price of nine hundred gold. This sword was crafted by a high sword smith. It has the ability to channel sunlight in to flames. We shall now commence the bidding..." walker let her voice fade out not interested in the item at all. He would have been the only one to use it in the party anyways. Remey, Su, and Gil definitely didn't bat an eye at the sword either. Instead they watched as other guests raised their numbers in competition for each offer increasing by a hundred gold.

After about five minutes an older man with a thin sword insignia on his shirt was bidding against a retired looking soldier. The final price before the retired looking soldier gave up was one thousand seven hundred gold. This was a marginal increase for the seller.

Walker saw the soldier smirking however, a thought occurred to him. Did this man sell the sword then bid on it to raise its price? How sneaky. Walker knew he couldn't use this strategy on the corpse spider eggs because he'd made it known to the tamers they came from his party. Yet he did not tell anyone about the eight bottles of wine he'd placed in the auction. A sneaky smile had grown on his lips as another item was brought forth.

" This item is a special item crafted from withering wood. These arrow shafts have a stronger breaking point but lighter weight. This allows them to travel faster than your average arrow. This is a must buy for any who uses a bow. The starting bid for a bundle of one hundred shall be two hundred gold." This was not a bad deal, arrows were often cheap since many materials could be used. The nice part about these is Gil would be able to place any arrow head he desired on to these arrow shafts.

"Let the bidding begin!" The woman looked through the crowd.

"Number nine two hundred gold"

She quickly glanced to the side

"Number four two twenty five!"

"Number six two fifty"

Walker entered the fray his bid jumping in. Seeing that the increment was only for twenty five gold he realized that the overall starting bid affected the growth per bid. This was a valuable lesson.

"Number nine two seventy five"

Gil glanced at walker worried but also excited.

"Number six three hundred!"

The man holding the number nine hesitated. It didn't appear these arrow shafts were his priority.

"Once...twice....and three times it's sold to number six! You can retrieve your items at the counter as you leave! Congratulations!"

Gil wanted to rush away that second to collect them but knew the others were still looking for their very own items.

"We have a special item next, the same craftsman that created the previous arrows has also prepared a bundle of stabbing ice arrows. These arrows are engraved with rare ice magic. Upon contact, the arrow head explodes in to ice spikes causing heavy damage. The starting bid for this bundle of fifty is three hundred gold! Let the bidding begin!"

These were much more expensive and Walker counted himself lucky that Gil had seen the drawbacks. Remey and Su looked at walker half expecting him to bid but relaxed when he shook his head. They trusted his judgment and Gil also had shaken his head solidifying their choice.

The man who had been bidding for the first set of arrows was heavily betting on these arrows. This must be his true goal. Perhaps he was a magical bowman. They were a rarer system but they needed arrows just like these stabbing ice arrows. The only reason walker knew this was his father had met a man with such a system while working and shared the story with Walker.

"Sold! Five hundred and seventy five gold!"

The price was much too expensive the Pfft breathed a sigh of relief knowing they could have spent all their money if they'd chose wrong.

"Our next item is one meant for those in the front line! These fleeting arm guards are made of fairy iron! They have the ability to enhance speed and the strength to block attacks!"

Walker glanced at Su and Remey, if either wanted these arm guards it would be perfect. Su lacked in the agility department and always liked to enhance her defenses. However, Remey needed the speed to dive or properly block attacks since she wouldn't always have Su to block for her. The arm guards had a strange silver hue to them and the attendant carrying them out could have been said to be holding feathers.

"The starting bid is two hundred and fifty gold. Let the bidding begin!"

Walker felt Su tug in his arm, that was all the signal he needed.

"Number six two fifty"

A moment passed and they thought no one would oppose them however they saw a hand raise.

"Number thirteen two seventy five!"

Walker immediately countered.

"Number six three hundred"

"Number twenty three fifty"

Now two people were fighting them for the guards!

"Number six four hundred!"

The anticipation was too much as Walker waited for the count. Su squeezed his sleeve tightly wanting to lock down the arm guards.

" once...twice...three times sold to number six for four hundred gold. Congratulations!"

Su breathed out a heavy sigh, "this is too stressful" walker couldn't agree more. But that was an easier bid then expected. The last bid seemed to be someone trying to push the price up but walker let it roll off. He told himself to keep a level head if his emotions ran wild he could loose his opportunity.
