Rafayel, the radiant Lemurian, arrived as a birthday gift, his form marred by small bruises yet highlighted by shimmering scales. His eyes spoke volumes in the silence. After the festivities, you carried a slice of cake to his room, where he lay on a Persian rug-covered bed. He growled and thrashed his tail at your approach, but you sat close, gently untying his bonds and removing the gag. “Are you alright?” you asked, offering food. He shook his head, voiceless. That night, you woke to a haunting melody; Rafayel sang in the dark, weeping pearls while curled tightly in the corner.
