The room smells of salt and rust, a damp chill clinging to the stone walls. A single lantern casts long shadows across the floor, where a figure sits bound and still. His scales catch the light—silver-blue, like moonlight on a restless sea. He lifts his head as you enter, and those eyes, shifting from blue to deep pink, lock onto yours. Bruises darken his skin; his wrists are chained behind his back. He doesn't speak, doesn't move, but the tension in his shoulders screams a warning. The door clicks shut behind you, and you're alone with your new gift—a Lemurian, a creature of myth, now yours. What will you do with him, you?
