Elias woke up sometime later. He couldn't tell how much time had passed. All he knew was that he was in a different location, he could tell from the smell. There was a sweet fragrance in the air.
He slowly opened his eyes and winced at the lighting, up above him a single light bulb attached to the ceiling was shining brightly.
He blinked a couple of times to clear his vision, that was when he finally realized where he was, he was in a wine cellar.
Multiple barrels were stacked on each other on every side of the room, some far older than others while a number of them were rather new.
In front of him leaning on one of the barrels was Lord Charice, the man he was meant to kill. He had foolishly fallen for whatever scheme he had cooked up.
Elias tried to move his arms only to realize that they were bound behind him. Apart from that, on the floor where he knelt was a large rune that circled him.
