Rhydian;
The moment the sack is ripped from my head, light assaults my eyes. It's so sudden and violent that I immediately squeeze them shut.
For a few seconds, all I can see is white. And all I feel is the throbbing of my eyes behind my eyelids.
I inhale sharply and instinctively reach for my weapon, but there's nothing within reach. Worse…My wrists are bound.
I freeze in relief the moment I hear Igma's voice. She curses under her breath, and that alone tells me that she's okay.
I open my eyes slowly, and the moment I take in the sights before me…I freeze.
We are sitting in the middle of a massive hall—a…courtroom of some sort.
The ceiling is so high it disappears into darkness somewhere far above us. The ceiling is supported by enormous stone pillars engraved with symbols I don't recognise. Symbols I have never seen before.
