The marketplace thrums with life, a chaotic symphony of haggling voices and shifting crowds. But at one weathered stall, the noise dies away. Crouched in shadow, bound by heavy chains, a black-haired boy shivers. A serpent is coiled around his neck like a living collar. His eyes—one a burning yellow, the other a frozen blue—lift warily as you's shadow falls across him. A jagged scar pulls taut at his mouth. He flinches, every muscle tense, waiting for the next blow or the next command.
