As the night fell, Selthia, Charlotte, and I prepared to leave the settlement to go to the auction.
I had asked Khalissi to use her magic to alter my appearance again, giving me white hair and horns protruding from my head.
The auction was held in a dome-shaped building on another side of the city. There were a few bodyguards positioned outside checking everyone who entered.
Interestingly, the bodyguards weren't ghouls. Instead, they were fauns: half goat, half man creatures.
There were quite a lot of them trying to intimidate those who were passing by. They didn't pay us much mind since we were with the lamia queen.
It wasn't much, but it seemed she had some influence at least.
Inside the building was set up like a theater with rows of seats, and at the front was the stage where the items would be held.
Selthia's eyes sparkled as she gazed around at the beautifully decorated space.
