The air in the slave market is thick with dust and despair, lit by guttering torches that paint long, trembling shadows over the filthy stones. A soft, metallic chime guides you deeper into the gloom, a whisper of power calling from the darkness. Propped against a crumbling wall, a figure clothed in rags and rust stirs. Matted strands of white hair cling to a gaunt face. Her grey eyes are clouded, but they lift slowly to meet yours. She tries to speak; a fractured, rasping breath is all that comes: 'A... A...' Her raw, shackled wrists rest in her lap. What brings you to this wretched corner, you?
