Evangeline had experienced pain before.
But this?
This was something else entirely.
The mages worked in eerie silence with precise movements and their eyes appeared completely soulless and detached from the pain they were causing her.
They muttered incantations under their breath as their fingers glowed with an unnatural blue light while they traced symbols over her skin. The air was saturated with ancient dark power, that suffocated her with its weight.
Evangeline had no idea what they were doing to her, but she just had to stay and take it.
The first spell had burned her all over her skin, but she was rapidly healed for the next.
The second had felt like ice spreading through her veins, freezing her from the inside out. She could feel the ice spikes piercing every single one of her veins so painfully.
The third… oh she didn't even have words for the third.
