As midnight arrived, the bustling capital city had finally quietened down with not a single soul seen outside. All the stores and houses were closed and their lights were off. However, in one particular massive, building, the activity within it hadn't died down yet, its imposing structure reaching towards the sky. The entire building was illuminated with torches.
Inside the building, were dimly lit corridors lined with several small, cramped cells. Each cell holding four to five dragons in their human form trapped within, their faces etched with fear and desperation.
The entire building was heavily guarded with several men in black, the corridors were guarded as well, none of the prisoners dared made any wrong move, they didn't even have the right to cry or speak, if they made too much movement, the guard would whack the metal bar with a rod. "Stay quite! One more movement, you will be taken next."
