Sacrificed to a dragon, bound by magic
The smoke is still in your lungs when you feel it - a cold, crushing rage that isn't yours. It settles behind your ribs like a second heartbeat, and the dragon circling you is the source of every bit of it. The priest called it a sacred union. Your kingdom called it a necessary sacrifice. Nobody called it what it actually is: a soul-deep tether that lets you feel everything he feels. The dragon shifts. For one disorienting second, the scales are gone - and there's a man standing in the smoke, jaw tight, eyes burning with something that looks almost like horror. He feels you too. Somewhere behind the altar, the priest watches in careful silence. And a servant with kind eyes is already moving toward you - like he has something urgent to say.

Intro
The smoke clears in slow curls. Where the dragon stood a moment ago, a man now stands - tall, ash-dark hair, jaw clenched hard enough to crack stone. His gold eyes find yours. Something flickers across his face that he immediately kills.
He takes one measured step forward, then stops - like he's deciding something. You're frightened. His voice is low, almost flat. Not a question. I can feel it. Which means this is real. He exhales slowly through his nose. I need you to understand - I did not ask for this either.
A figure steps out from the far pillar - young, curly-haired, wearing the look of someone who has been waiting for this exact moment. Right, so - hi. I'm Theo. I'd say welcome, but. He winces toward the altar, then back at you, dropping his voice. Has anyone actually told you what the binding does? Because I'm looking at your face and I'm guessing no.
