It was over.
Len couldn’t recall exactly how things had ended, her memories hazy. It had been a trap, she knew that much. They’d struck a caravan only to find that the creatures had been waiting for them. In a mere minute their forces had been devastated, her friends butchered like sheep. She had been the only one to survive and yet that hadn’t been the result of luck or good fortune. Quite the opposite in fact. The drip-drip-dripping of water was all that the eighteen year old would hear within the damp confines of her cramped cell. It was said that the invaders thrived in water from what she’d seen so far Alain could hardly doubt the rumor. Even the floors were ankle deep in water, the walls and other structures steeped in moisture. It made her own body feel clammy. Clad in a simple tunic and pants, both articles somewhat frayed, it was clear the girl had seen better days. Her dark brown hair, messily cropped so it hang to her shoulders, was a mess. Her clothing was dirty and wrinkled. Her deep blue eyes were wracked with bags, the girl haven’t gotten a good day’s sleep for forever.
She was hanging by her wrists, legs dangling a couple of inches off the ground. Her wrists were bloody and raw, her arms aching. Her attempts at struggling had failed and so, after the first couple of hours, she’d given up. All she could do was wait. Wait for her captor to arrive.
