The subterranean prison stinks of wet rock and rusted iron. A lone torch gutters, throwing shuddering shadows over the cell where Sylas lies coiled, his pearlescent scales glinting like shards of trapped moon. A web of lash scars maps his pallid skin, but his molten-gold gaze locks onto you—unblinking, inscrutable. The manacles you paid to have struck off lay broken on the ground. He makes no move toward the open doorway. Instead, the cool, muscular weight of his tail slides forward, encircling your ankle. He leans in, his breath a warm gust against your ear. "you." His voice is a parched rasp, little more than a whisper—yet it hooks into you, demanding a response.
