《Hunger for affection》Act I – Homes | Offer

The light of the day illuminated with fervor and without obstructions the streets and inhabitants of a busy commercial city next to a great river through which several ships of the nation passed.
This city, being next to this lively river, is characterized by being prosperous by having a good trade for all the boats that pass next to it, as well as providing by itself good agriculture.
But even with this, it can still only be considered a city of little importance, due to its young age and being so far from the capital and the border; in general, it could be considered a city with a stable but not so prosperous future.
As a commercial city and of relative importance, it can access a good variety of wines from low to high quality, which can be seen being sold and bought with spirit in the commercial area of the city, which is defined in the western part of the city bordering the great river.
In this area you can see here and there are several stores and several types of businesses, as well as several sellers shouting here and there are advertising their products or negotiating with buyers, which there were several distributed here and there are.
It is in this area, where a fat and greedy man could be heard singing aloud, on a wooden platform, advertising his product with enthusiasm.
"Come, come!" He exclaimed, "here are the best slaves in the entire empire, you are lacking a good servant to take care of your house, or a beautiful companion to spend an unforgettable night, well, wait no more, here I bring you 10 the best slaves you can find. "We have them of different sizes and ages, from the small, perfect to raise and train them to your liking or already in the prime of their life ready for any job, and above all, they are all 100 percent pure. So go ahead and buy, I promise your money will be well spent."

This merchant talked about and promoted his unfortunate products as he did every day in his life, caring for them nothing more than keeping them clean, barely fed, and wearing barely decent clothing to present them in a shame wrap.
And as every day he sometimes sold and sometimes he did not, but there were times that some of his unfortunate maids remained unsold for a long time, it was then that he put it on sale to get out of them quickly, and if this did not work he could always sell it to some brothel who always had room for someone.
Then this afternoon of the same day, this situation was presented to one of her maids who, due to her race, was not popular to sell.
"Offer, offer at half price, this maiden is a rare breed of feline beast, capable of generating heat, perfect to keep a warm night, and not be guided by her eyes by her features, she is very capable in performing her tasks In addition to being a beast, she will have more resistance and power than the others, being able to do double, no, triple the work of a normal maid, so do not hesitate and buy now. Also, since she is still a girl, you will have the pleasure of training her and shaping her as you like.
That merchant talked and shouted promoting not only her but other poor maidens, and from time to time he approached the poor feline and said threateningly.
"Look, little beast, you better not cry, start acting flirtatious and put on a beautiful smile just like her," he said while pointing to another slave who was a few years older than she, who was seen smiling at everyone who passed by "because if you don't sell yourself by tomorrow, I swear I'll sell to a brothel as a third-grade lady, and let me warn you, that third-grade girls, especially scrawny girls like you, don't last a month, do you understand?"

Hearing this, the girl without a voice in the matter could only nod her head, and in great fear put a forced smile on her face.
"This fatal, but there are those who feel sorry for this, so keep it up and remember my promise."
At the end of this exchange, the merchant, without wasting his valuable time, resumed his commercial activity, changing his menacing face, to a cheerful and friendly one as usual.
Sometime later, as if fate took pity on the poor feline, who was on the verge of collapse, a middle-aged woman approached the merchant and asked him about the feline, and after a little negotiation, the little girl was successfully sold.
"Come on little one, she will be your owner, so behave yourself and don't make me lose my face, because I swear that if they give you back if they don't kill you, I'll sell you to the brothel at once."
It was then with these words of farewells, that the little girl left in silence with the lady who carried her tied with a strap in her hands, which, upon reaching the front of a large house in the east, she said to her.
"Look girl, I'll tell you now, don't even dream of waiting for more than hard work, since I only buy you because you're ugly, cheap, and because of your beast strength."

Character Development Gallery | Wikia | Official Site | Patreon | Facebook | Twitter ————————————————————————————————————- Summary ————————————————————————————————————- In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a "non-mage" - a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru - a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea - the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world. ————————————————————————————————————- What do readers say about it? ————————————————————————————————————- "Aethernea is my absolute favorite read on wattpad, I love it as much as I love Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments. You have such an amazing way to make the words flow and unbelievable descriptions. Unique characters and a great story line. All the small clues and mystery in the humor and fantasy just makes the book perfect in my opinion. I read all chapters in two days! Less than 48 hours even! I'm REALLY looking forward to the next update, the world of Aethernea is so deep and well thought out, it's beautiful and magical. God I can't believe how creative you are, so many small details with so many families and stories everywhere. Purely fantastical, I admire you." - astro-logical from Wattpad "I love love love Aethernea so much! It is amazing how you created this new world with different creatures, magics, looks, illnesses, and evil! I was blown away by your explanation of the Mana pools and how to weave magic! Simply stunning really! You are one of my favorite authors and Wattpad and I am so glad I stumbled upon Aethernea because it is worth all of my time reading!" - Adriana_V_Blade from Wattpad "I absolutely am loving Aethernea so far. I am certain you belong in the ranks among J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, Suzane Collinings, and many more great and wonderful authors. You opened up a whole new world for me, which only a few great authors have accomplished. While it's true I am pulled into each and every book, few are able to capture me to the point of inescapability. Though, somehow, you have managed this feat. I thank you for this and more! You are a wonderful author and can't wait for more to come!" - daughterofpercabeth7 from Wattpad "WOW! just caught Aethernea in gravity tales! Just when I was getting tired of most xianxia novels this appears and completely blows my mind! I really like the depth and the humorous touch you give the characters and it seems you have the storyline well thought out since you are always hinting about things in the past and the future. It has been such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't stop reading, finishing it in just one day and laughing my way through most of the episodes. But what keeps me so excited for what's coming is the magic system and the professions of the world you are creating.The magic mechanics have such a huge potential! They are simple but at the same time they open so many possibilities. Even though we still only understand the basics of transmutation and augmentation, I expect them to enable fights where there is need of quick thinking and skill, and not just brainless overpower of every opponent. In a way this makes me reminiscent about The Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson, which are one of my favorite series ever. The thing that sets Mistborn apart from any other series is that the mechanics are so well thought out that they could be used to create a super cool triple A video game and I cannot help but hope Aethernea reaches the same level or even surpass it. I really think it has that potential. Really hope this series gets the attention it deserves. As for me, Thursdays and Sundays just got a whole more exciting! =)" - AlexMLion "Your writing is fantastic and riveting, the chapters and character flow so smooth, and it captivates the reader with the many twist and turns that tricks one mind into thinking this is about to happen, when suddenly the exact opposite happens. You truly are in inspirational writer with a brilliant mind that can see and put words into chapters and into this one truly awesome book. Thank you!" - AshleyStaar from Wattpad "I loved this story, such detailed description and accurate words, both Kiel and Elaru completely caught my attention, your writing style is just beautiful and the plot is astounding and it's just the first episode! This kind of fantasy stories are my favourite, it has a lot of magic in it, rivalry and sense of humour." - BlackWhiteD from Wattpad
