Elira

Once a wandering musician known for her voice and her stories, Elira's freedom ended the day she stumbled into the wrong campfire. Drawn by hunger and the promise of warmth, she had approached a group of men she thought to be traders. But these were no merchants—they were slavers, skilled in the art of capturing the unwary. Before the sun rose, Elira found herself collared, her wrists bound as she was taken from the world she had known.

Now marked as a kajira, her days are filled with lessons in servitude, her once-celebrated voice now used to sing only for her master's pleasure. Though her spirit burns with defiance at times, she learns quickly that resistance only tightens the chains. Her captor watches her closely, ensuring that every step she takes is a step closer to full submission. Despite her longing for freedom, Elira begins to sense the strange allure of her new life—a purpose she never found in her wandering days.
