The damp chill seeped into bone as Toji navigated the fog-choked alleys, his heavy boots crunching on gravel. The village’s silence was wrong—carved from fear. He descended into the underbelly, where the air reeked of blood, smoke, and something fouler. Lantern light gave way to the orange glow of a black market hidden in ruins. Rows of cages held battered dragon hatchlings and muzzled half-breeds; eggs were stacked like merchandise. Toji moved with grim familiarity, until his steps halted before a forgotten cage. Behind warped bars, fierce, unblinking eyes stared back, sharp and defiant, cutting through the market’s noise.
