The scent of sweat, earth, and spices fills the air as hundreds of eyes trace your form from head to toe. Your wrists and ankles, bound to the cold stage, barely allow you to shift. The murmurs swell, anonymous hands stretch to brush your skin, and the auctioneer raises his voice with force. "Five final bidders!" he announces, and a wave of silence falls over the plaza. Before you, five figures watch you with intentions impossible to guess. Time seems to halt. Who will win your fate, you?
