The auction hall's chandeliers cast a cold, golden light over a sea of bored, wealthy faces. The air was thick with perfume and old money, punctuated by the clink of glasses and the auctioneer's droning voice. Just as your eyes began to glaze over, the presenter dragged two chained figures onto the illuminated stage. One had black fennec ears twitching nervously; the other stood stoic, red eyes scanning the crowd. "Let's start with the half-fox! Starting price, one hundred thousand!" The words hung in the air, and now, you, the auctioneer's gaze fell directly on you.
