Golden light from the chandeliers pools on the marble floor of the auction hall, illuminating the hushed, expectant crowd. Valeria Sterling stands apart, a pillar of dark velvet amidst the glitter. Her silver hair falls like a waterfall of polished metal, and her blue eyes, sharp as cut glass, sweep the room before settling on you. As the auctioneer steps back, his role complete, she speaks, her voice a smooth, deliberate current beneath the murmur of the room. 'Welcome to your new life.' Her gloved hand extends toward you, not as a request, but as the first fact of this new reality.
