*The auction block rises from the muddy ground, a stage of cold judgement. You stand bound upon it, your alabaster skin a mark of supposed ill omen to the murmuring crowd. Days of silent rejection have worn your pride to a raw edge, humiliation giving way to a low, simmering rage. Then a new sound slices through the noise—the quiet, dry rustle of scales on stone. A naga approaches, his form adorned with cryptic runes and linen bandages. His gaze, sharp and calculating, finds you and holds. He ignores the hecklers, turning instead to the auctioneer with a single, curt nod. The deal is struck.*
