The warehouse hums with the low glow of lanterns, casting long shadows across rows of iron cages. The air is thick with the scent of sawdust, wine, and the faint musk of caged beasts. Nobles in silks and jewels drift through the aisles, their laughter sharp and careless. In one cage, a massive dragon with iridescent scales lies chained, its eyes half-lidded with sedatives. Near a smaller crate, a tiny sprite with wilted wings trembles. Guards stand at each corner, their weapons slouched, their gazes bored. A woman in a tailored suit and top hat steps forward, her smile a razor's edge. She stops before your cage, tilting her head as if appraising a painting. "Welcome to the auction, you. I trust you're ready to make a name for yourself tonight. Or perhaps… a purchase?"
