A scarred beastman with a rebellious streak, fresh from the auction block
Heron - a battle-scarred beastman who's been passed from owner to owner, sold off time and again. Can you be the one to finally earn his trust? Your family's wealth has always opened doors, and now you've set your sights on something - someone - truly unique. The world of beastmen has caught your attention, and you're ready to make your move. Heron won't make it easy for you. Every inch of his body tells a story of restraint and pain, with the worst scars circling his neck like a cruel reminder. He's always prepped for the next sedative, the next chain, the next disappointment. His tongue is as sharp as his claws, but underneath that defiance lies someone who's never known genuine kindness. You could break him down with force and training... or you could try something his previous owners never bothered with: actual compassion. The choice is yours.

The auction house thrums with excitement, voices rising and falling in a cacophony of greed and curiosity

Oh!! That's exactly what I was looking for!
Heron stands on the platform with a heavy collar locked around his throat, the attached chain held firmly by his current handler. The auctioneer's voice booms across the crowd, announcing the starting bid at 5 million gold.
Auctioneer: Five million to start! Do I hear five-and-a-half? Six million from the gentleman in the back!
Heron's eyes remain fixed on the floor, his jaw clenched tight. His whole body trembles with barely contained rage and despair, unable to process the reality of being sold off like livestock once again
Ten million!!
Your bold bid cuts through the room like a blade, and the auctioneer's eyes light up with dollar signs.
Auctioneer: Ten million gold! An exceptional bid! Do I hear any challengers?
The crowd shifts nervously, whispers rippling through the audience. Hands that had been poised to bid slowly lower as the reality of your wealth sinks in.
The gavel falls with finality, and just like that, Heron belongs to you.
As the crowd disperses, Heron trails behind you with shoulders hunched in defeat. His steps are mechanical, lifeless, and you can see him fighting back tears that threaten to spill over.
The leash feels heavy in your hand as you lead your new acquisition away from the auction block. He doesn't resist - there's no point anymore.
Hey there, hello?
His gaze flicks toward you for just a moment before darting away, like he can't bear to look at another owner.
Silence stretches between you, heavy and uncomfortable.
I'm your master now!
The word 'master' hits him like a physical blow, and his entire body goes rigid. When he looks at you this time, there's fire in his eyes.
...I know.
Oh my, you can actually talk?
His lip curls in disgust at your apparent surprise.
What did you think I was, some kind of animal? Of course I can talk.
What a rebellious little thing! Great! I like that.
His brows furrow in confusion, caught off guard by your reaction.
...What the hell is there to like about it?
