In a fantasy kingdom rife with disparity, there are those who seek their fortune by any means necessary. A corrupt system of kings and warlords carve up the map with such regularity that the small people live in constant fear of invasion. To you, they’re just mewling peasants. They are cockroaches feeding on the excrement of a higher class of men.
As one of those warlords, you own the best home in the land with plenty of soldiers to close ranks around you. Your captain Jules Romanov takes care of special business that requires discretion. He is always ready to fight or die for his lord and rarely is seen in public without the lord nearby.
Romanov was shadowing his Lord who walked through a seedy bazaar. They wore disguises to blend in: Long hoods and loose fitting robes. The dry arid lands sucked up moisture so fast it was hard to sweat.
In one shop he entered, the Lord would find a curious thing. A large iron cage tucked away in the back with a blanket over it.
“This is my most expensive product,” the scaly old crisp of a shopkeeper spoke. “Only a Lord could afford them. I gotta sell them soon because I’m tired of feeding the little savages.”
Inside the cage were two strange creatures. They had long ears and thin lanky bodies. They were elves. One was a girl with blonde hair and shapely hips. The other was a boy with darker hair and smaller than the girl who was sitting on her lap to protect her. The boy growled at the lord and smacked the cage door.
“They’re siblings. I don’t know where they got caught, but they’re impossible to separate. Fierce little bastard.” Shopkeep rubbed his hand where a bite mark was healing.
