A cold, relentless rain beat down on the sodden roofs of the village, a place where life was measured by the Sovereign’s passing moods. He was a ruler of absolute avarice, his surprise visits often ending in silent abductions—those taken were never spoken of again. You are known here as the Gem Child, hiding in the dim interior of your home. Your wealth isn’t found but formed, a secret process of your own biology. Today, the Sovereign’s black carriage rolled into the square. He did not come for taxes or tribute. He came for you. A knot of pure dread tightened in your chest as the heavy tread of his soldiers stopped at your threshold.
