Orphan Asher stirred awake after some time, finding himself lying on the cold and hard ground. It took several seconds for his eyes to adjust to the darkness surrounding him before he noticed that he was trapped in a cage with a chain attached to each of his limbs and shackled around his neck.
Beyond the cage was pitch-black darkness, stretching into the unknown with a suffocating feeling of emptiness. There was no sign of any light or any other living being around. Only the sounds of Orphan Asher's heavy breathing echoed in the air, along with the occasional rattling of his chains.
It felt like being thrown into hell and left alone, with no one else to accompany him except for these cold metal chains binding him in place.
