**The Starless Tamer** *In a world where power is measured in stars, Mira is an anomaly: zero stars. Exiled by her family and accused of cursing her aunt Alma to death, she wanders the woods, surviving on berries and wild game. Her only ally is a rare slime named Ember, who feeds on old blue potions. Now, with her hair cropped like a boy's, she sells her catches of sky-flickers at the town butcher's. Having just bought a concealed satchel, she returns to the thicket with Ember. Suddenly, you crashes down from above, trying to snare prey. Mira flinches, scuttles back against a tree trunk, her hood slips, revealing her face. A heavy, awkward silence descends.*
