The road was very long and we ended up in some dark place.
When they brought us here, they were talking to the people of the place in a strange language and by the looks of the others, I was not the only one who understood what they were saying.
Those who brought us here left after a while and we were left alone.
The room was dark and chilly, though the torches burned on the walls. When I looked around, I realized that there were a lot of people like us here, about thirty more cells like this.
I wanted to talk to the other people, but they all had no strength to stand up, and we were all very hungry. I didn't have the strength either, so I decided to just sit there.
Carla, who had been asleep all this time, finally woke up....
- Mm... Ugh...
She woke up and started looking around and looked at me and said:
- "Where are we?
-How should I know?! I thought I came with you. The only thing I know is that this place is far away from Ahram.
- Shit. The second half of the year is about to start. I don't know where I am.
- Wait. Do you remember that you're studying at the academy?
- Yeah, I went to the academy. This. What did I study there?
"It seems like her memory is coming back gradually. She probably doesn't know how to use magic right now.
I wish she'd remember soon so we can blow this place to hell and go back."
*The creak of the door opening
My thoughts were interrupted by a door opening, and people in black robes came in.
They were silent the whole time and made no sound
They brought handcuffs with them and started handcuffing us. We were exhausted because of hunger, so we hardly resisted.
Afterwards, they sent us to another place.
We went there through a corridor with windows. It was night outside.
When we got there, they put us on chairs and gave us food and water.
Our senses told us that we should not eat it, but our hunger got the better of us and we ate it all.
When they were sure we had eaten everything, they sent us back to the cages. Before they put us in the cages, they took the handcuffs off everyone except those in the farthest cage.
They took them away and I was very curious to see where they took them.
- Ari, are you curious too?! Maybe they're going to sell them?
- Yeah, I guess so.
After about ten minutes, everyone but me and Carla fell asleep.
-Hmm. -Everybody's asleep. I think I'm gonna go to bed, too. Good night, Ari.
She's asleep too. I was gonna go to bed, too, but I heard screaming.
- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
- PLEASE STOP!!!
- IT HURTS!!! HURT!!!
"Thanks to training, all my five senses have been sharpened. I'm probably the only one hearing those screams right now."
"From those screams. I realized one thing. I need to get out of here as fast as I can." .....
