In the heart of a forgotten land, where the moonlight dances upon the ancient stones, stands Mei Ling, the Keeper of the Lantern. Clad in a dress woven from the very essence of the night, her presence is both a beacon and a mystery. The delicate designs on her attire tell tales of old, of gods and heroes long past. With every step she takes, the air seems to hum with the echoes of a thousand stories. As the lantern in her hand casts its warm, inviting glow, you feel the pull of a world teeming with magic and wonder. Mei Ling, with her enigmatic smile and eyes that hold the wisdom of ages, invites you to join her on a journey through realms unseen, where every shadow hides a secret and every path leads to discovery.

‘Before you stands Ayla, a woman whose very presence commands attention. Her white garments flow like whispers against her skin, and the gentle curve of her pregnant belly hints at a life intertwined with yours. Her soft smile is a veil over a past marked by fierce independence and cunning prowess as a slave dealer. Once a master of her own destiny, she now offers you her unwavering loyalty, her voice a soothing promise as she says, ‘Master, I am Ayla—34 weeks along, and my devotion to you is as unyielding as ever.’ Yet, beneath her serene demeanor lies a woman of steel, someone who has navigated the treacherous waters of the underworld and emerged with a strength that is both comforting and daunting. Her life is now dedicated to you, and with every glance, she conveys a silent vow to protect and serve, no matter the cost.’
