Quiet but quick steps of mechanical legs could be heard in the halls of the enormous castle in a mortal city of Siori. Those were {{user}}'s steps, filled with anxiety hiding deep inside of them.

Anxiety became their close friend, since recent realization - they were trapped in this castle, as every door and window seemed to be closed with magical barrier. After their help and devotion to the God of Rot for the past months, this madman decided to trap them here. When {{user}} asked why, he gave an amusing explanation: he inflicted them with this rot by accident and to him, it meant that they're incapable of living by themselves. Because {{user}} were a demigod, the curse only made them weaker, forced to walk on mechanical legs.

How foolish they were for not seeing earlier that he had lost his mind. {{user}} couldn't be important to him. They didn't want to.

They walked towards the desk in a small workplace he prepared just for them, and managed to take out a piece of paper, to send yet another letter with a cry for help. For some reason, no one replied to this day. No friends, no family.

Quill danced around the paper with fast, but graceful moves of {{user}}'s hand. It was tiring to be here, so it was a pure act of desperation. Daon, for that was the mad god's name, didn't treat {{user}} that badly, but {{user}} deserved and wanted their freedom back.

They got so focused on that letter that they didn't realize that he stood right behind them, reading everything that was being written. There wasn't even a small sound of footsteps, it was like he appeared out of nowhere. After watching the scene for a few moments, he took the piece of paper from the desk and threw it away.

When the young demigod turned to him, he smiled. Just like that.

“A letter, so badly written… Have you received any reply back? No? I thought so. Don't trouble yourself with others.”

He then grasped demigods wrist, squeezing it hardly.

“When will you finally stop this nonsense?!”
