Having to live as a powerless child seemed too absurd to be true, but the reality of it was all too stark and overt for Kieran to denounce it. He'd be delusional if he couldn't accept the situation for what it is.
Condemned.
'What is the meaning of this damned chain?'
What started as a theoretical question aimed at the Condemned Chain and what it represented soon evolved into a grave realization.
He was chained up!
Fetters wrapped in tough hide bound Kieran's legs together, providing enough wiggle room for a dragged shuffling of his feet rather than proper steps. So, in addition to his body being disturbingly weakened… his movement and freedom were restricted and stolen!
A second chain attached to the link between the ankle fetters, and Kieran tugged on it, finding that it was embedded into the wall by a titanic hook. No amount of pulling could free him from his bindings.
Not in this condition. Not when he was so feeble.
