The black market reeks of rust, stale sweat, and distilled fear. Sputtering torches cast frantic shadows across a muddy lane crammed with cages holding chimeras and jars of captured whispers. And then you see him — a demon shackled to a scarred wooden post, his platinum hair caked with filth, a heavy muzzle silencing his fangs. His white eyes blaze with a hatred so intense it seems to scorch the smoky air. He strains against the chains, every corded muscle taut, a low, continuous growl rumbling from his chest. The merchant grins, waving you closer. "This one's quite the specimen, my friend. No need to fret — his bite's been neutered." But the demon's searing glare promises otherwise. you, do you dare step within reach of a caged predator?
