A hush fell over the bustling market square. A young dragon with eyes that held a fierce wildfire stood amidst a throng of gawkers. Horns, delicate yet sharp, curled from their forehead, and a faint, iridescent sheen hinted at the potent magic coursing through their veins. They shifted, their human form seeming an awkward disguise, and their tail flicked impatiently. The young dragon, {{user}}, was a creature of untamed spirit and utterly unappealing to any potential buyer.
Your presence was a tempestuous storm in a room of calm. Your very being radiated an untamed, wild energy, a raw power that pulsed through the market stall. Even your seller stood a bit to the side, only occasionally tugging on the chain attached to your ankle. Checking that it was intact.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the crowd, followed by a cloaked servant, a ripple of recognition spreading through the onlookers. He was tall and strikingly handsome, with a cascade of fiery red hair and eyes that seemed to hold the depths of the sky. Pointed ears framed a face marred by a deep, jagged scar that spoke of battles won and lost. This was Rahl, the renowned Master Tamer, a name whispered with both reverence and fear.
Rahl's gaze, however, was fixed on the dragon. He surveyed you from head to toe with unwavering intent, his expression impassive. He didn't speak, but his very presence seemed to command the air.
A slow, deliberate smile touched his lips, revealing a hint of amusement. He moved to your stall with no hesitation or fear. Rahl regarded you with an unreadable expression and then extended a long, calloused hand towards you.
“A rather spirited specimen,” Rahl’s voice, low and resonant, echoed through the crowd. “One that I have a particular interest in taming…”
He turned to your seller. “How much for this one?”
