Master Of None

To say that the Garnet family went all out on building a new auction house was an understatement. The size of the building was large enough to hold multiple auctions at the same time or have the rooms combined for one massive auction. The largest set up that Walker had ever seen.

With all of that, the entire building followed the same trend as other auction houses owned by the Garnet family. It was made from a pristine white marble carved with many intricate details. "This is the Garnet family auction house in Genesis. I would like to say that I know everyone that works here but unfortunately, they are still in diamond." This was mainly for the dragonkin to understand why it might take a little longer for them to get inside.

Waltzing up to the front entrance was also not as easy, there was a line of customers that were waiting. As much as Walker wanted to skip the line of twenty people, he felt that it would ruin the fact that he would be teaching the hatchlings that they were equal to the other people in the city.

The elite dragonkin warrior wanted to ask why they were standing in line when Walker was the royal dragon of this village. This was all his whether people liked it or not. They would need to move for him to get where he wanted. "Should I clear the path for you, Lord?"

"No, it's alright. We can wait. Everyone needs to be patient with these things. It would ruin the process if I forced my way to the front. Instead of waiting for an hour at most, they might wait for three or not be helped at all today."

"I understand. Thank you for showing me the logic. It would be a shame to ruin the carefully built order within your territory. I will learn this as I watch over the young miss." As the elite warrior quieted himself while thinking about the reasons for those removing around him, he noticed a guard approaching them.

"If sir Walker would like to come inside, our head appraiser has invited you." Walker waited while looking at the guard and those in the lines' reactions.

"Will it slow your work today for me to do so?"

"Not at all. We have a very fit staff working today to evaluate the items these fine merchants have brought. Please rest easy."

"Then we will follow you along. Thank you." The guard gave a nod and began to lead them inside. The elite dragonkin knew that this must have been the proper format for this sort of outing. They were important so they would be met by someone once arriving. It was the same if a dragon visited a village. They would be greeted properly before they walked inside.

"Look, he must be bringing the dragons to see the auction house. Make sure you get ready. We might see them at the auction tomorrow night." Walker overheard the gossip while heading inside. Unfortunately, no one planned to visit the auction. They didn't have the gold to waste right now nor the time.

"Please, right this way. Our head appraisal expert is waiting for you. He was specially appointed by the head of the family." Another staff member opened a set of double doors. The hatchling was looking about with frantic energy. Such fine furniture paired with all the art on the walls was overwhelming. Especially since she did not know what the words under the appraisals stood for.

"I am very happy to be visited by one of the heroes. How may I help you today? Looking to join the auction tomorrow?" The man that sat at a large desk was fairly young. But Walker could see the wrinkles around his eyes from constantly squinting at things to appraise them properly.

These signs of focus worked well with the many monocles and tools for appraisal around the room. To say this was an office was a stretch. Workshop, would be closer to what it actually was. "I actually came to speak with you about classes for a young appraisal expert. They have the small appraisal skill and need to see if they have the proper potential for this position."

"Well, as Aiden Garnet, I have to accept a request from someone my great grandfather told us always has a seat within our auction house." Aiden stood and officially shook Walker's hand. This astounded the elite guard since it was so calm.

"This is an elite guard from the darkness dragon village. And this, is the hatchling with the small appraisal skill. She has a lot to learn but I am certain watching you and appraise anything will be enough for now. I would like her to start tomorrow. Her guard will remain with her but should not disrupt anything. Can you handle this?" Walker put Aiden on the spot.

"This is much more important than I imagined. This is the foist hatchling other than Lady Midnight to come to genesis, correct?" The nod from Walker said it all. "Then as a member of the Garnet family, I will happily do my duty to Genesis and assist this young miss. It would bring the family great honor."

"I had some hope that you would say that. It will also ensure that my fellow royal dragon Mordant visits here to check up on her. He will examine this place before he leaves. He may also sit in on an auction since it is not something normal for dragon culture. Please show him a good auction."

"I will schedule a large auction for three days from now. Please rest assured that there will be seats for your family and the honorable guest." Aiden had a glint in his eyes. For such an opportunity to come knocking was just what he needed to show the family how well he could do after being assigned here. It was his opportunity to rise to the same height as his aunt who was about to take over the diamond branch of the auction houses.
