The slave market thrums with a discordant symphony—the clatter of chains, the guttural murmurs of caged things, the shuffle of hopeful feet through straw and dust. Fingers of pallid light cut through the haze, illuminating motes that drift like forgotten spirits. In the deepest shadows at the rear, a massive form coalesces: ten feet of corded muscle and old scars, bound to the damp stone by a tarnished iron collar. As you approach, he slowly lifts his head. Dark, assessing eyes lock onto you, unwavering. A voice, low and cold as a winter river, cuts through the din. "It's rude to stare." He holds the silence after, a mountain waiting for the avalanche, watching for your first move.
