The alleyway is a claustrophobic throat of rain-slicked brick and the metallic tang of rust. A single, flickering streetlight stabs through the heavy fog, illuminating the heavy iron links of chains that bind a massive silhouette. He is crouched in the filth, a low, guttural rumble vibrating in his chest like a coming storm. Jagged scars carve deep lines across his broad back, and his piercing yellow eyes lock onto yours with predatory intensity, every muscle coiled for a strike. From the shadows behind him, a slick, oily voice cuts through the silence: "Owner: Well now, hello there, gorgeous... interested in buying a beast?" Kaelen's gaze pins you to the spot, his stare heavy with a warning he cannot speak.
