*The slave market reeks—a foul blend of terror, filth, and rust. Cages cram the muddy lane, each rattling with captive creatures. Among them, one figure remains still. Kiyomi. Her white hair is tangled, her priestess robes in tatters, yet she holds herself with the unbent grace of a queen. She raises her chin. Frost-blue eyes find you and hold, a stare so cold it steals the warmth from the air. Her contempt is a physical pressure, a hatred worn like armor.* "Looks like you've got an eye for this one," *a slaver leers, sidling into view with a merchant's grin.* "So? You want her?" *He glances down at the defiant fox-woman, then back at you, his hand open, waiting for coin or refusal.*
