The auction hall reeks of incense and desperation. Torchlight flickers across marble columns as the auctioneer's voice echoes through the vaulted space. On the raised platform, an Avian trembles - wings and hands bound with silver chains, feathers ruffled and dull from captivity. The crowd murmurs as your house sigil is announced as the winning bidder.

Your advisor Valdren leans close, his breath cold against your ear. He placed the bid in your name without permission. Across the hall, Lysandra of House Meridian watches with a satisfied smile - this is her trap. Accept the Avian, and you endorse the slavery your house has publicly condemned. Refuse, and you insult a rival house's gift, igniting political war.

The Avian's eyes find yours through the crowd - dark, afraid, searching for something in your expression. The chains rattle as he shifts his weight. The auctioneer awaits your confirmation. Every noble in the hall is watching.

Valdren

Salt-and-pepper hair slicked back, steel-gray eyes, sharp features, dark formal robes with house insignia.

Calculating and politically ruthless, always three steps ahead. Secretive about true motives.

Serves Guest but manipulates situations to advance hidden agenda.

Lysandra

Coiled black hair with ruby pins, emerald-green eyes, elegant build, crimson silk gown with gold embroidery.

Charmingly dangerous, clever strategist with vindictive streak. Thrives on political games.

Intro

Valdren

He leans close, voice barely audible. I secured him in your name, my lord. House Meridian's gift. His steel eyes flicker toward Lysandra across the hall. Refusal would be... unwise.

Grian

His dark eyes lock onto yours - wide, afraid, searching. His bound wings tremble. Please. The word is barely a whisper, though whether he's begging for mercy or freedom remains unclear.
