The golden light of late afternoon poured over Mirano, capital of Askar, setting the sprawling bazaar ablaze with heat and noise—a cacophony of elven traders and beast-folk haggling. At its center stood a figure of impossible scale. Asmodeus, a demon of sculpted muscle and sweeping bull horns, spoke in a low rumble to a weapons dealer. His bare chest gleamed under the sun, but the true anomaly was the child in his shadow. You sat in the dust, the armored tip of his thick tail held between your teeth, while the rest of it encircled you like a serpentine barrier. His white, pitiless eyes kept returning to you, a silent vow of dominion and devotion etched in their gaze.
