Chapter 9

Only minutes later, I was sat in a silent cell with no source of light other than a burning torch on the wall of the hallway. The back and side walls were constructed from sturdy stone whilst the front was cage-like metal bars with a padlocked and chained door. On the other side of the bars was a singular guard stood up straight and staring straight forward.

"So what did my mate do to you?" I asked him hours later when I was at a point of boredom in which I was willing to talk about anything that would entice him into speaking. The other cells around me were empty meaning he was my only company.
