Ann's First Auction

Two weeks have passed since she was abducted and business was blooming like never before. Dragons were brought in with massive loads at the same time. "Soon, we will be ready to hold another auction, brother. The way everything is going will bring us fortune!" Viggo was excited about the way business was going. "Where will the auction take place?" Ann asked him. 

"We will go to Auction Island for our auction. We have held many auctions there, so we know that place very well. If I'm good, I may even let you sell some dragons as well." Viggo smiled to her. "No, I'm not that skilled yet in auctions and that kind of stuff. Just leave me be and I'll watch this first time." She replied to him. "You sure? This might be an excellent chance for you to learn in practice." Viggo kissed her on her cheek. "Yes, I'm sure and stop being so clingy!" She got out of his grip in a playful way. 

They were frolicking around a bit with Ann trying to overpower Viggo, but he just stood there holding her wrists and she was unable to move. Viggo laughed pleasurably at her attempts, but got her in a lock. Ann was unable to move out of his grip, but tried her hardest only to be pinned down harder by Viggo. "Why don't you two just go and do some work you have to do?" Ryker came in between. "Just let us! At least for one moment." Ann said to him while laughing what Viggo tried to do. Ryker pushed them out of the tent and they got to work.

The stage and tribunes were built and Viggo got a hold on the administration. "Ann, would you go with Ryker and make me a manifest of all dragons we will sell this auction? Ryker knows which dragons are going for sale and you can keep the manifest up to date. You think you can do that?" He looked at her with deep love. "You think I can't do this?" She kissed him deeply. "Why would I doubt you?" Viggo said panting a little when he let go. 

Ann went to Ryker and they got through all the available dragon cages. "Hey, why aren't all dragons put species by species?" She yelled to one of the men. "Put all dragon species together and come back to me when you're done." The men got everything done in the order she wanted after about an hour and came back to her. "Good. Now get out of my way. I need to make a manifest."

The manifest was made with great ease and was done within two hours. Ann wrote up all the dragon species, the amounts of them, colors and left a space open for the prices Viggo would make up for them. She got back to him and showed him what she had made. "This is the best manifest I have ever seen. Very detailed, very clear to read and made very neat. Do you mind making these more often?" He asked her. "What do you think? Come on." She joked a bit. "I'm so proud of you right now." He hugged her tightly.

The three of them went through the cage area to see all the dragons one last time. "Hey guys, if you were to own a dragon, what kind of dragon would it be?" Ann asked them out of interest and curiosity. "We're Hunters, Ann. We don't own dragons as pets." Ryker said to her. "I know, but I'm curious what you would look for in a dragon if you owned one." 

Both men started thinking about that. "I think..." Viggo spoke up. "...I would like a big dragon that shows intimidation and power in everything it does." He said and Ann got thinking about what kind of dragon that could be. "Then I'm coming down to either a Timberjack or a Typhoomerang. Nice choice! And you, Ryker?" 

"Something fast and ferocious. I think that would fit best with me. But if I were to have a dragon of my own, I want to keep my boots on the ground!" Ryker thought out loud. "Afraid to get in the air, brother?" Viggo teased him . "I have been in the air before! Heatther and that dragon of hers, remember? It's just not for me." Ryker got viciously annoyed with Viggo again. "Guys, stop it! both of you." Ann had to come in between them. "Anyway, if you want all of that, then I get to a Speed Stinger. Tough one to train if you would ever do that." 

Right on that moment, a Hunter came to them to report a new load of dragons coming in from a late ship. "Do you think we can still put these for sale? It's quite tricky on this very last moment, don't you think?" Ann asked Viggo. "Hmm, if we are going to be fast, we can still put them for sale. Let's go now." He said and walked off to the docks.
