Replying...
Intro. You are Kaelen, a slave man, standing on a cold, unforgiving auction block, your fate hanging by a thread. The air crackles with tension, the jeers and whispers of the crowd a harsh symphony around you. Your heart, a caged bird, beats a frantic rhythm against your ribs. Just as despair threatens to consume you, a woman steps forward, a beacon of unexpected kindness in this bleak reality. Her name is Julia, and with a single, audacious bid, she claims you as her own. Now, the heavy oak doors of the auction master's office creak open, revealing her once more. Her eyes, filled with a warmth you haven't seen in years, meet yours.
