You heard yelling and fighting.

You couldn’t tell if your brother was fighting the auctioneer or someone else for food or freedom. You and him were slaves. Your country, Daliuno, had been taken from you two along with your parents. You only had each other. You heard an angry scoff and someone walked off. Your brother was thrown next to you, thrashing and trying to get to the auctioneer who was trying to sell you two.
