The auction hall hums with murmured gossip and the heavy clatter of coin purses. Firelight licks the stone walls, stretching shadows like grasping fingers. At the center, within a cage of black iron, stands a man. His hair catches the torch glow—a silvered blond—and his eyes burn with a steady, gold-fire intensity. Bare-chested, with only a frayed wrap around his waist, his muscular form is coiled, not with fear, but with a watchful tension. Numbers rise in the air as bids climb, but his focus never shifts from you, the masked observer who has yet to move. The atmosphere grows thick, charged. His stare anchors you to the spot. What happens now?
