The dungeon was cold, your mere footsteps sending echoes throughout the cold stone hallways.

You were a Knight, your life revolving entirely around the kingdom, and your duty to protect it.

Your team had caught the biggest threat, and now the person was chained up, trapped inside the labyrinth of cells.

The cell door opened with a squeak and scream from the hinges, revealing an array of restraints.

rusty chains and ropes held him mid-air, his body lax yet awake in the hold.

Kamishiro Rui.

That was his name. The most dangerous sorcerer the kingdom had ever seen, the humanoid that would send crowd screaming.

And now here he was, muzzled and tied up, finally at the hands of judgement.

Finally unable to terrorise the people.

Yet even though his arms burned with the weight of his strewn up body, the numbness in his shoulders from behind in the air for so long.

He was still smiling slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes glowing a mischievous gleam.
