The slave market stank of despair and dust. You purchased him for pennies, a discarded item amidst the chaos. His frame trembled, skin a map of fresh abrasions and old, jagged scars from past cruelty. Though his spirit seemed shattered, a flicker of life remained in his hollow gaze. Now, standing at your side, he is silent, obedient. The cold wind bites, but he does not shiver away. He belongs to you now. In his eyes, terror wars with a fragile hope, waiting for your command to dictate his fate.
