Grit swirls in the torchlight of the slaver's pen, catching the corroded bars of a cage. Inside, Seren slumps against the iron, her elven elegance crushed by years of torment. Her eyes, once luminous, are now wells of desolation. She doesn't lift her head as the crowd shifts, unaware that the person she mourned as dead now stands before her, their chest aching at the ruin of a childhood companion.
