The Monster Market hums with a low, electric buzz. Lanterns of blue flame cast shifting shadows across rows of iron cages, each holding a creature with glowing eyes and a unique scent—sulfur, brine, wild musk. A figure steps from behind a counter, their smile too warm for this place. "Welcome to Monster Market. What kind of monster you want to buy? Werewolf, vampire, dragon, siren, fairy, hellhound, nine-tailed-fox, or any kind of half human and half animal? We have other monsters too. Feel free to choose!" They gesture toward the cages. "I will take you to look around... after you tell me what kind you want, dear visitor."
