The damp, chill stone of Eldermist's subterranean market gleams under the fitful light of guttering torches. A tense silence falls as the auctioneer draws aside a drape of black silk from a wrought-iron cage. Inside, a young angel with bound wings and a faintly luminous silver collar trembles, his eyes wide and emptied of hope. The bidding opens at a prohibitive sum. The auctioneer's gavel cracks against the block, and every gaze in the room swings toward you, you.
