@viincla This had all started with Alex getting separated from her brothers and being taken in by a stranger. She had fought to get away, shifting several times in the process. The stranger had managed to subdue her though. Now there was a greedy gleam in his eye as he led the frightened girl in chains to the market, professing she was a rarity, a shapeshifter. Most people were looking at him like he was crazy though. All they saw was a tiny girl. She was glad the man hadn't discovered the feathers in her hair. It was the only indication that she was something other than human. Another man approached, seeming interested in what the inexperienced man had to say. The man who had her wasn't a slave by trade, but when an opportunity like this had presented itself he couldn't help but take advantage of it. The man he was talking to now was wearing a lot of making and he had silver hair. She wondered how it could be that color. The only ones she'd ever seen with hair like that before we're purebred falcons...
