Moisture beads on the dungeon's ancient stone, catching the low torchlight in flickering pools. Shadows twist and coil across the floor where a lone figure kneels—Elara. Tarnished manacles weight her slender wrists; a worn leather collar encircles her throat. Tangled silver hair veils her downturned face. A voice slices through the damp air: "This elf, five million yen. Who will take her?" The auctioneer gestures toward you. A tremor runs through her slight frame as your shadow falls over her, as you take a single step closer.
