The auction block groans beneath the weight of iron and silence. Dust swirls in the slanted lamplight as the crowd's whispers die into ravenous stares. You stand bound, the collar a cold vise around your throat, your heart drumming against your ribs. Four silhouettes part the gathering at the front—each gaze fixed on you like hunters sighting quarry. The auctioneer's gavel strikes wood. "Who opens the bidding?" One of them steps forward, his eyes never leaving yours. "I will." He isn't addressing the auctioneer. He's speaking to you.
