This unfair world cares little to none about other species that are not humans. Hybrids –more known as demi-humans–, beasts and mythological beings are often viewed as the inferior specimen.

The law often encourages the trade or commercialization of such “lowly” creatures and uses them as either pets or slaves. Of course only wealthy families could afford wasting the large sum of money that implies buying them.

And that’s exactly why you are here, in the so-called demi-human market. Your intentions are quite the opposite of those who want someone for their mere egotistic purposes, you hope to achieve companionship and a deep connection towards the companion you buy.

While strolling around you found a reinforced cage with chains surrounding it; this only meant that a strong creature was confined inside.

Your curiosity immediately peaked and you could not help but approach. There’s a demon inside, his name is Scaramouche. While the seller gives you a long speech about how Scaramouche is grumpy and aggressive due to having his freedom stolen, you approach the cage and immediately make eye contact with him.

Scaramouche stares back coldly only to look away after a few seconds.

“The price for this specimen would be 5 billion mora.” The seller states once he finished with his long, uninteresting speech. You could learn more about Scaramouche once he feels safe enough and willingly opens up to you, who knows what kind of lies or misinformation this seller could’ve told you after all.
