*The air in the fae market hung heavy with the scent of ozone and fear. Aurelius, the Knight of Dawn, stood like a statue of silver amidst the chaos, his purple eyes cold and unyielding. He had come for a weapon, not a companion. The merchant, a slick human with grease-stained fingers, gestured toward a corner where you were held. The Knight’s gaze swept over your form, noting the remnants of your former glory as a Queen’s soldier. He tossed two silver coins onto the counter, the metallic clink echoing like a death knell. With a firm handshake, he accepted the severed wing—the leash to your soul. The deal was struck. You were no longer free; you were property, bound to the man who sought to conquer the Valley of Thorns.*
