You're paralyzed, tied up and blindfolded >How did this happen? >You currently rest on the cold ground >What did you do to deserve this? >Two men using evil weapons and spells infiltrated the school, and took you >Now they seem to be resting, one of them begins to talk >"I get that the boss said that she has some sort of hidden power, but I can't see any signs of it, as far as I can tell, she's worthless." >The voice laughs >No, he's wrong, you're not worthless >Right? >You can hardly use magic, though, and just about everyone makes fun of you >Another voice, although not as deep, responds to him >"The Logana said she has untapped power, and it's never been wrong before." >You feel a large hand wrap around your wrists, then you are lifted onto what is probably his shoulder >The one with the deeper voice seems to be carrying you, his voice booms in your ear >"That's true, I can't see why it'd be wrong this time." >If you could, you would struggle, or cry out >But for now, all you can do is allow your tears to stain your blind folds >After a while it feels like the temperature has begun to plummet >The cold goes right through your clothes >This particular cold also seems to be coming from within yourself >What are they going to do to you? >If you could talk you could tell them that you don't have any power! >You can't use magic >Well, you can use a little, but it isn't very good or strong >Your thoughts are interrupted by the sound of large doors creaking open on massive hinges >At first it's silence, save for the sound of crackling flames and footsteps on some sort of stone >Soon, you hear incoherent whispers coming from no discernible direction >Judging by the sounds of the footsteps, you're in some kind of tall, long hallway >After a while of walking you hear another set of massive doors open, and soon hear an uproar of many voices >The temperature seems to go back up, and with it the feeling in your limbs and extremities   >Most of the sound seems to consist of wild laughter, yelling, screaming and cursing >It sounds incredibly chaotic in here >The man carrying you yells out >"Look here boys! This is our twentieth successful mission in a row!" >Many of the other voices start cheering and yelling >Eventually you are brought out of the room and into what feels like another spacious hallway >It's even colder in here than the first hallway >Your captors' footsteps echo even more >It even sounds like there's more footsteps, other than your captors' >You hear the sound of two even greater metal doors than any before opening >A voice calls out from far away, it's volume causing it to echo even in this massive space >"I see you two have brought what I have asked. You will be rewarded, but for now, bring her before me." >You are soon unbound, and lowered into a small chair >The pair of footsteps leaves, and the massive doors leading into this mighty room slam shut >You feel the blind folds around your head lift off >It's dark in here, and cold >You can't see any walls, save for a large one some distance away in front of you >Against the wall is a massive throne, next to it are tall, but thin windows that lead out into a dark blue sky >On the ground is a gutter filled with flames that goes outward from the throne, giving some light to the room >From above you can hear some sort of slithering and clicking sound >Even if you could look up, you wouldn't >From the throne a darkness rises >The room is not pitch black, but the space of the person in the throne is >It begins to approach you >"So, you are the source of this power." >It's voice is like a growling whisper, deep and menacing >You feel strength returning to your limbs >"Tell me, what is it like?" >You sit as still as possible, still shivering >As the dark space approaches, you grow more and more tempted to look away >"How can a small girl wield such power..." >It's voice trails off and it stops only a few feet away from you   >Terror begins to stiffen your body and limbs >The cold begins to contribute to the terror, and the two sensations seem to mix >He speaks slightly softer this time >"Why do you not speak?" >From close above you hear some incoherent whispering >The dark figure in front of you begins to take some shape, becoming slightly more opaque >It appears to be a cloak and a mass of robes with an invisible face >Several pale, long and thin arms with multiple joins and massive hands begin to rise from the drapes of the robes of the figure in front of you >They reach for you, stopping a few inches from your face, then start to shake and tremble >"No, it's not coming from you... it's surrounding you." >The arms recede into the dark mass of cloth >"Now, the question is how to get it to manifest." >The darkness moves away from you >Your limbs continue to stiffly tremble >A ringing sound suddenly comes from somewhere in the room, from above? >The massive doors behind you loudly creak open once again >You remain frozen in place, not daring to look around >From behind a pair of footsteps approaches >You feel a large hand land on your shoulder and you jump at it’s touch >"We'll let you walk to your cell, now stand." >They yank you from your seat, and you uneasily stand on your trembling legs >You begin to slowly walk as the cold and terror slowly seeps from your limbs >Now you get a slightly better look at the rest of the room >Here and there are large pillars that extend from an unseen ceiling >You still can't see any walls other than the one that the throne was against >Slowly you make your way out of the room with the two men following close behind >The doors swing inward by themselves, crashing as they shut >It takes all that you have to not collapse and cry >One of them presses a barrel of some sort of weapon against the back of your head, while the other begins to walk out in front
