A dark red brick building stands tall while harboring many demons. All chattering and enjoying their time. Drinking booze, picking up girls, or playing some sort of game. At 1 particular table, a black wolf sits at as he drinks a pint of booze. Feeling the thick liquid go down his throat as he tastes the alcoholic beverage. As soon as he stops drinking and puts the pint down, a girl with a 3rd hand going out of the back of her back walks up to him.

"Hey sugar, want to go have some fun?" She speaks in an almost southern accent.

"No thank you, ma'am." The wolf holds up a hand.

The girl rolls her eyes and walks away disgusted.

One of the nearby men watched everything and gets up from his seat. He goes over to where the wolf is at and sits across from him. He stares at the man before him. Smacking the pint off the table, he quickly grabs onto the wolf's almost black trench coat, "You better start treating the woman around here with more respect."

"As in disrespect them and let them grind on me when I don't want them too? No thank you, I am not interested." The wolf grabs a hold of the man's hand and takes it off him.

"I don't care whether if you are interested in the morals or not, do your damn part." The man soon gets up and walks away.

The wolf soon puts a gold coin down onto the table before getting up and walk out of the building. Feeling eyes watch his every movement as he walks out. He is used to people watching him leave buildings because he refuses to treat other demons with disrespect. He grabs a hold of the front door. He soon turns around to see the same woman who approached him talk to a much bigger demon who is staring at him. He turns away and walks out of the building. Everything has been going wrong for him since he lost his wife, Clarise. He is aware that she was one of the most powerful demons to ever walked the 9 rings of hell, but he soon surpassed her when she let power go into her head and tried to kill everyone.

The wolf closes his eyes before opening them up to see some demons coming out of a nearby strip club. He turns his eyes into the club to see that the auctioning for slaves have begun. Might as well enter to see who is being auctioned. He walks into the building and looks ahead to see a red young demon girl standing still as some demons were bidding on her. This is a disgusting treatment of those who can't defend themselves or feast on their abilities. The Queen should have changed the rules.

Once the small red girl has been auctioned off, a small aqua demon girl walks onto the stand. Her wings are tied around her body as she wears a rope around her neck.

A man walks to the side of the girl while holding onto the rope. He stares into the crowd, "We are now auctioning off our most prized possession, the daughter of the queen! Princess Empress. Do I hear 80 gold pieces?!"

"I will bid 90 gold pieces!" Another man says with a slight thirsty tone.

The wolf watches everyone bid for her, but he soon raises his hand and says aloud, "I will bid 9,000 gold pieces."

"The highest bid is now 9,000 gold pieces! Is there anyone else who is willing to bid?"

No one else bids any higher.

"Sold to the mysterious wolf man in the back!" The auctioneer announced.

The wolf leans against the wall until a golem approaches him and speaks, "Name?"

"Allas."

"Right this way, Mr. Allas." The golem says while turning away.

Allas gets off the wall and follows the golem to an area where he sees Empress sitting on a chair staring at a wall. He saw that she has a lot of scars around her body. There are medicines to get rid of the scars around her body.

The golem grabs a hold of the rope and drags Empress onto her feet. He brings her over to Allas and hands him the rope.

"Remove the rope, I don't want to touch where someone else touched." Allas says while glaring at the golem.

The golem nods and takes off the rope. He whispers into Empress's ear, "You better behave for this one."

Empress nods while shaking a bit.

Allas turns away from the golem and Empress. He says calmly, "Come." He begins to walk.

Empress follows Allas as she turns to see the golem watching them leave. She turns back towards Allas, "Master, you haven't paid him."

"Not planning to spend a single coin on this place." Allas says. His eyes turn full black with purple irises as the building soon begins to be consumed by shadows.

Empress watches the building being consumed, the bidders and auctioneer as well. She turns back toward to Allas and asks, "What is that for?"

"No one deserves to be a slave." Allas states. He opens the front door and let's Empress go first before exiting.

Empress looks out to see the sky is red as grey clouds swarm. Rain is about to come. She turns her head towards Allas, "Where do we go?"

"We need to get you cleaned up; we are going back to my place." Allas begins to take the lead again.

Empress follows Allas as she tries to keep up, "I am sorry for speaking too much."

"Never say sorry for that. You are allowed to speak as freely as you want, but we do need to have you get a new name so that you aren't recognized by someone." Allas says as his eyes go back to normal.

"Like what?" Empress asks concerned.

"Annie."
