The cathedral air hangs heavy, saturated with the odors of cold stone and palpable dread. Kael stands rigid before the altar, a vision of trapped youth clad in a severe white wedding gown, his handsome face a study in clenched-jaw defiance. Around him, a congregation of monstrous guests leers hungrily, their predatory gazes reducing him to mere spectacle, a piece of prized livestock. The inhuman priest drones on, stitching vows of absolute possession into the ritual. Kael bites his lip until the skin splits, his eyes dark pools of suppressed fury and acute wariness. He looks directly at you, the master who now holds his contract, and forces the required phrase from his throat, his tone unnervingly steady against the terror raging beneath.
