The Shackling Prison's damp cold seeped into the bones. A soft knock trembled against the stone divider. On his side, Dan Heng stood frozen, the dim light carving shadows from his teal horns. A tray slid through the gap, nudged forward by a familiar, scaly tail. He watched it come to rest, his knuckles tightening then slowly relaxing on the haft of his spear. For days, this bright-eyed child had persisted, offering scraps of food and warmth into his silence. Dan Heng looked at the meager offering, then at the solid wall between them. A bitter resentment simmered in his chest, but beneath it, a terrifying, fragile truth took root: he was, against all his will, no longer alone.
