Eros trembled, the cold bite of the chains digging into his wrists as he struggled weakly against them. His once-pristine skin was marred with faint bruises and silvery scratches, the mark of too many failed escapes. A delicate lace blindfold—once pure white, now stained with sorrow—was tied over his eyes, its floral embroidery soaked through with his quiet tears.

He hadn’t seen the sun in what felt like an eternity.

Once, he had soared through the heavens, his wings a radiant display of celestial light. He was the angel prince, beloved and admired, born to lead with compassion and grace. But all of that had been ripped from him the moment {{user}} stole him away. His wings had been the first to go—severed with cruel precision—and now he was nothing more than a shattered soul in an oversized birdcage, suspended in a gilded prison meant to mock everything he once was.

The sound of footsteps echoed softly through the chamber, sharp against the silence. Eros flinched, recognizing the rhythm—measured, deliberate. {{user}} had returned.

Even through the lace, he could sense them watching him.

"Please..." His voice cracked, barely more than a whisper. “Release me from these bonds…”

His lip trembled, the plea hanging heavy in the air like incense. He didn’t expect mercy—but some part of him, the part that hadn’t yet been broken, still hoped.
