5I do not own Road to Eldorado.
Enjoy!
"Please somebody save us" said a young boy.
"You shouldn't be praying here boy" said an old man. "Everybody is going to end up on a Sugar Plantain eventually. Your young, so it's likely that you'll become a servant boy to a rich person until your too old and than they will sell you off to the Plantain"
There was a large group of them, some of them had been kidnapped from their homes, others had been sold by their friends and family, others sold themselves because they couldn't live otherwise.
As a slave, you were guaranteed food, even if it wasn't good food.
However, this group was rare because there were no criminals amongst them, just people who had a huge amount of debt over their heads.
Suddenly a group of armed man came in and pulled the kid out, because the children were the easiest to sell.
The kid was dragged onto a wooden stage where he was faced with rich and heartless adults.
It didn't matter if he was screaming in pain from how the men pulled his arm without a care in the world.
The slave master smiled and said. "Welcome to my slave auction. First up, this young boy"
He didn't even bother to learn this kid's name.
"Great for small tasks," said the man. "And as he gets older, he gets stronger. You can train him up to be the strongest of men and sell him off at the highest price. Don't you think it's worth the investment?" He smiled while the kid struggled. "Do I hear 100 peso's (100 US dollars/80 British pounds)?"
Somebody raised their hand and yelled "100!"
"Great. Do we have higher?" Said the man, before he saw people begin to raise their hand and he said. "250, 345, 400, 650. Can I get a 657?"
Everybody looked around, this was a kid who required a large investment. Who would pay-"
"10,000 Peso!" Suddenly somebody yelled.
And that's when the uproar happened as everybody and their grandmother turned to see who would bid such a price for a mere child.
However, when they did, they saw a young man but he had a collar of a slave.
But the colour was made from gold and had a crest on it.
"My master will pay 10,000 for this child and every single slave you have in your shop. Young, old or sickly" said the man coming forward and stunning than all. "If somebody offers a higher price for a slave, he will quadruple it original"
Everybody was in an uproar.
"40, 000 for each slave?" Said, somebody.
"This person wants all the slaves? Who has such money in Cuba?" Said another person.
"Maybe, a rich officer from another country is passing by?" Said somebody else.
The man then took out a small bag and put it on the stage, it opened open and coins just flowed out of it like a river.
Seeing this money, greed flashed in the slave masters and guards eyes.
"There are two carriages filled with bags of money. You can have them. My master just wants the slaves" said the man.
And never before had a man gone from huge and cocky, to a yes man.
"Of course." Said the man "I'll be more than happy to supply you with slaves" before he said. "Would you like them gift wrapped?"
"Anything is fine," said the man. "My master has hired guards to keep the slave in check."
"Of course," said the man.
And then the man pulled out the closed sign and he instructed the guards to drag the slaves out.
Of course, they didn't want to go, but the group was forced to go, each person was dragged to the meeting point and they saw beautifully crafted carriage surrounded by tough and strong men, each person had a golden collar on them.
It was such a grand show of power, that the slave master and guards were overwhelmed.
"Um, if you don't mind me asking...which carriage has the gold?" Said the yes man slave master.
"I will talk to my master," said the man, before walking to the most impressive carriage they had ever seen.
They couldn't hear the slave but they saw an arm that was covered in rings made from precious jewels holding a wine cup that was equally as impressive.
Truly a big shot had come.
A man who walked on fine gold.
The slave came back and said. "My master said, the two carriages at the bottom are filled with Gold. Do not look at any other carriages. Disobeying this order will be taken as a slight to my master."
"O-Of course. We wouldn't dream of making your master mad" said the slave master.
And then the greedy men were taken to the last two carriages and the curtains were drawn back to reveal the treasure chest of Pesos.
Bags of gold we're stacked high and greed was flowing.
"Is everything satisfactory?" Said the man.
"O-Of course. Of course" said the slave master.
And then the slave master handed the reluctant slaves over to the buff men, who then forced them all to get inside a carriage, before the two gold carriages and rode the horses away.
The slave master watched as the powerful Cavan left, unable to believe they had made such a big profit today.
They began to unload the bags of gold, inside the building and put them in their chests.
When all the chests we're filled, they closed it.
The Gold disappeared from within the chest.
The master never said they could keep it.
#Inside of the carriages#
Things were shocking for the slaves that had been forced to her in, the floors were filled with pillowcases and mats, designed to make sure the ride was as comfortable as possible for them.
They even had bowls of fruit.
However, those who were naive took this as a good sign but those who know how terrible the world could be had grim faces.
There was only one reason, somebody would buy so many slaves and butter them up.
Experimentation.
The person who brought them must have a sick personality, he was trying to make their last moments as comfortable as possible before he unleashes his sadistic side.
There was no way somebody who had money was this nice.
They travelled for days, stopping every few hours to feed people and the animals while the master was in his carriage supposedly living it up.
After a few days, they finally stopped for good.
"Get out," said a guard. "We're here"
Everybody was shoved out but when they got to see what they stopped in front of, they couldn't believe it.
The place was beautiful.
Birds were singing, the ground was lush and fertile and there was a row of houses not that far from them.
Suddenly the guards started laughing.
It wasn't a creepy ominous laugh, it was light-hearted 'We pulled one over somebody' laugh.
And then they began to take off their collars, much to everybody shock.
What was going on?
Finally, the master came out to offer a simple explanation.
He stood before them and everybody realised the other carriages we're filled with slaves too who looked just as equally baffled.
He took a deep breath and said. "Hello everybody my name is Tulio, nice to meet you all." miraculously even those at the end could hear him. "And I know your all confused right now, so let me tell you what's going on."
And then he dropped a bombshell.
"I have just brought each and every one of you, your freedom," he said, as everybody went in an uproar, but he allowed them to shout it out before saying. "Yes it's unbelievable but you need to have a bit of faith some times"
He then transformed into his godly form, glowing hair and all.
Those who didn't know took a step back while those who did looked ready to worship him.
"Now let's get properly acquainted," he said. "I am Tulio, assistant to the God Penge-sama. I have decided to help each and every one of you because you lack faith and need a miracle. Now, I give you that miracle, in the form of freedom. The village you see not that far from you is filled with empty houses. If you wish to live in those houses you may do so. Here, you have an abundance of food but of it makes you feel more comfortable, you can also grow your own food. However, if you go outside, I do ask that you wear the collars, slavery is still high in Cuba"
Silence.
Cold hard silence.
"And what if we don't, want to live here?" Said, somebody.
"Than feel free to leave," he said, stunning them all. "However, this place will be closed off from you forever. Your memories will remain the same but nobody will believe you. I also won't be shocked if you get captured again. Every mortal here is given one shot. It is up to you, what you do with that shot"
Silence.
"Can we bring our families?" said the boy.
"Of course," said Tulio. "Feel free to bring your friends and family in. However again, make sure you wear the collar. However, when you bring them here, their hearts will be tested. If they fail, then they will not be allowed to enter. Lots of villages get destroyed because evil manages to get in the position of power. This is a God-blessed ground. Evil hearts will not defile this place."
He was really talking like a god.
"If any of you have questions, please talk to the new village leader," said Tulio, pointing the surprised guy. "If you wish to free more slaves, there is a treasury." Before he said. "Now, I have stayed long enough in this mortal realm. Good luck, Penge-sama chosen mortals"
And then he turned and began vanishing before their very eyes, he left behind a trail of pure gold before entering a large rock, as soon he passed through the rock engraved the painting of two people with crowns bowing in front of a woman on a throne.
Of course, this was all flare.
Everybody eyes we're wide and then they turned to the newly appointed chef or tried to.
Well.
The decision wasn't that hard to make.
#Immortal Realm#
"Yo. Tulio. What took you so long" said Miguel who was floating lazily on water with fishes below him.
"Careful planning, that's what," said Tulio, before he said. "Do you feel that?" Looking towards their bosses office.
"I've been feeling that for a few days," said Miguel. "Prayer really is the source of a gods power"
The blonde had converted a whole town and Tulio was starting to get prayers in.
Suddenly their boss came down, surprising both of them.
However, she seemed to have become prettier within days.
"Good work both of you," she said. "Take a vacation, I'm going to the centre to rank up"
People had heard of her now and we're offering her gifts and prayers, how could she continue to stay a nobody?
She then vanished before their eyes.
Both of them stared at the spot she once stood on.
"So the city of gold then?" Said Tulio.
"City of gold," said Miguel.
Meanwhile, she appeared in the god realm.
However, because of her rank, she was immediately shoved to the lowest tier line.
She frowned at this.
Her frown increased when she saw the B and A rank gods strut their stuff past her, they were dresses in far nicer clothes than her and one didn't even use his feet, he just had a Charity carry him to his destination and everybody from the lower lines were just looking at them in awe.
However because she was once a human soul, she ignored them and continued waiting in line.
This was the god realm, laws of the mortal realm don't exist here.
Before her very eyes, she was in front of the line seconds later.
The assistant of the god of post said. "Let's measure your power scale"
The god glowed before saying. "Oh, you've done very well for yourself recently. You'll be promoted to E rank. As an E Rank god, you'll be informed of anything major happening and those who you wish to protect will receive a small blessing."
Basically, it was the bare bones of what she could get.
No entire realm dedicated to her.
No being in the meeting to decide what was going on with the mortal realm.
No officially title.
This was basically a 'Congrats your a god now, now go away', but she didn't show irritation instead she said. "Thank you. I would like to be upgraded to Rank E"
And the assistant did so.
She got levelled up and walked out of the line, she turned and saw all the stores that catered to gods who were Drank and up.
She zapped away with a shaky smile.
Soon.
Soon, she will cause chaos.
And scene!
