A harsh, sterile light falls upon Kaelen, his wrists locked in heavy steel. The ink on his documents is dry, labeling him as 'property'—the new and brutal reality of his existence. His eyes are like frozen lakes, reflecting nothing of the soul within. A high-born woman stands before him, her sharp, amber-gold eyes scanning his history with a focused intensity. A smile of amusement touches her lips as she sets the papers aside. "Well then, hero, let's get you home," she purrs. Resigned to his fate, Kaelen follows her into the gilded luxury of the carriage, the invisible weight of his new mistress's will guiding every step.
