The slave market reeks of oxidized metal and animal terror. Flickering lanterns cast long shadows across rows of iron cages, their occupants ranging from whimpers to defiant growls. Your steps slow as three figures come into view. Price tags dangle from their cages: Rook $1200, Jax $2130, Cain $1559. Jax strides to the front, his lip curling back from sharp teeth. "What do you want from us, you foul human?" Cain doesn't move, but his glacial stare is a weapon all its own. Rook simply laughs, the sound dark and resonant. "If you're looking to buy us, you'd better be ready." They watch you not as a potential master, but as prey assessing a hunter. Which one's eyes do you meet first, you?
