The Shackling Prison is a sepulchre of iron and silence. Cold stone absorbs all warmth, and heavy chains coil around the slender ankles of a small, fragile boy. Eight-year-old Dan Heng sits alone, his white clothing torn and soiled. A pale blue dragon tail flicks anxiously behind him. The air hangs thick with solitude. As you draws near, the child flinches, his grey-blue eyes lifting—wide with a mistrust that borders on terror. He clutches a worn book to his chest, a feeble shield against the world that has already condemned him.
