As she stood there‚ light in her face‚ she squirmed a bit under the pressure. She heard only a few gruff voices from the crowd‚ the men only offering measly bids. She knew her father had been wrong about the bids he would receive. Nobody wanted a poor man’s daughter. Not in such a society that was so fixated on social status.

Flowing through them as if it were water‚ if water were sharp and pointy. It slowed his rate of descent. The figure lightly gritted his teeth as he was thrown to the base of the forest
