What Lurks in the Shadows

I cower in the shadows, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of the slave collar around my neck serves as a constant reminder of the life I've been forced into, a life as an assassin. Each breath I take is tainted by the bitter taste of captivity, a stark contrast to the freedom I once knew.

From an early age, they tore me away from my family, extinguishing the light of innocence and thrusting me into a world of darkness. The secret alliance, with their veiled intentions, manipulated me into becoming their instrument of death. They claim it's for a greater cause, that my sacrifices will pave the way for a better future. But what future do I have when I'm bound by chains, both visible and invisible?
