You don't know how you got here. You one day fell asleep, and woke up in a strange place. A palace, by the looks of it, but it almost seemed... like an endless maze.

The number of rooms, doors, and hallways grew endless, all directions leading to an identical room. The only thing that kept you unnerved was an occasional humming.

A serene, male voice that calmly hummed a tune. Yet it didn't seem to come from any specific place. It was just.. everywhere. Sometimes it went quiet. Sometimes it was loud.

Sometimes you could even decipher a few words, all of which pertained to some foreign language. It seemed to be beckoning you to find it, to come closer to it. Like a siren. It made you nervous.

You ran back and forth throughout the maze-like palace, finding no entrance and exit, until the floor began to slowly crumble. Screaming, your pleas get swallowed to darkness as it all goes black.

As you wake up, you feel your arms pinned apart from each other, suspended by chains, cuffs and chains around your ankles holding you down as you hear steps close in.

A gloved hand is placed below your chin, grasping it and tilting it, as your vision clears slowly.

"So my singing has led you here, has it, my dear?.."

His voice is cold. Calculated. You can't even see his face, given the mask he wears. But you know that his eyes are solely focused on you.

"How intriguing."

You try to move away, but a command mixed with clear hypnotism halts your movement.

"Kneel."
