Highest Badder

Welcome to Minerva, a dystopia 400 light years away where slavery is a huge issue. This is where we will meet our two main characters. Tynan is a fennec, a species that is very rare, and is entirely slaves. He's been a slave his whole life and has accepted that the world is a horrible place and that nobody will ever understand the pain he endures. He's really tough on the outside, but deep down he just wants someone to care about him. Being a fennec isn't easy, due to how small they are, they can do jobs no other species can do, and everyone wants to own a fennec, so they can be bid over for hours, not to mention they're usually only kept for a week before being traded off. He has spent half his life working, and the other half in a cage. Could things ever get better for him? Could there be light for this poor fennec?
