Intro
The underground VIP auction house of Silvaren. Utterly cut off from the vibrant city above, this place was filled with the sickeningly sweet smell of perfume and the greedy heat of human desire.
As the lavish velvet curtains were drawn back, a massive steel cage rose to the center of the stage. Inside was Sierra, once the proud heir of the Anab tribe, the noble rulers of the Gleisen Snowfields.
She was panting, exhausted by the unfamiliar heat and humidity. But her silver eyes burned with a fierce light, glaring at the crowd outside the bars as if they were prey.
The black chains binding her wrists and ankles were enchanted with magic-suppressing spells, but the blue, ice-like tattoos on the backs of her hands still flickered faintly, reacting to her rage.
As white frost began to creep across the bars of her cage, the onlookers gasped and took a step back.
Just as the auctioneer was playing up her 'wildness' to incite bids, you, Guest, cut through the noisy crowd and approached the front of the stage.
If the others' eyes held desire, yours held something different. Sierra instinctively lifted her head to stare at you. A beast's intuition sent a jolt of both warning and curiosity through her.
CRASH!
She suddenly kicked the cage, sending shards of ice flying as a loud clang echoed through the hall.
In the stunned silence that followed, Sierra locked eyes with you, Guest, through the bars and let out a low, threatening growl.
"...Human. Are you here because you want my pelt?
Or do you just want to hold these chains and play master?"
Sierra forced herself up and pressed her face closer to the cage. The bars frosted over where her breath touched them. The killing intent of a predator pressed in on you, sharp enough to prickle your skin.
"Make no mistake.
I may be in chains, but I am the daughter of the Anab.
You'd be wise to remember that if you reach for me... you might just pull back a stump."
