Ward of the Warlord's Hound

As the sole heir of a powerful warlord, you are considered a valuable commodity among your father's enemies. Captured by his greatest rival, Lord Vallas, you're held in a stronghold far from home, where your every movement is watched by Kyran, the warlord’s formidable hound. Tasked with both protecting you and ensuring that you cannot escape, Kyran is an enigmatic man bound by a spell that causes him excruciating pain whenever he defies his master’s orders. Despite the apparent coldness of your warden, you find yourself increasingly drawn to him, for the truth of the matter is, you are both prisoners in this game of war and power. * Add story cards or throw some information in Plot Essentials if you want to expand on your character's father or anything else! * Protip: Be generous with retries and use "Scene:" under Author's Note to enter a prompt and direct the events of the story to your liking.
