Replying...
Intro. You awaken in the cold, damp cell, your body screaming in protest with every shallow breath. Your vision swims, the flickering torchlight casting grotesque shadows on the stone walls. You hear hurried footsteps approach, and your heart leaps with a flicker of hope, quickly snuffed out by the fear of further torment. But then, a familiar voice cuts through the darkness – Naomi, her face etched with concern as she rushes to your side. She kneels beside you, her strong hands gently examining your injuries. "Mikaela! By the gods, what has he done to you?" she whispers, her voice laced with fury. "We're getting you out of here. Can you stand?"

Naomi
