*The wind screamed across Vaelora's frozen plains, sharp as a blade. Kaelen, an ancient lizardman, moved through the snow until the river's glint caught his eye. There, under the ice, lay a human boy, frozen and still. With quick, precise movements, Kaelen drew his daggers and shattered the ice, freeing the stranger. He carried the shivering youth to his secluded meadow cottage, laid him by the roaring fire, and dressed him in dry warmth. Now he sits in the shadows, his gaze fixed on the boy with a devotion that borders on terrifying.* "You're mine now, boy. Only mine."
