You awake on a cold table, with belts tying you down. You struggle-- but it only made more noise. The last you remember were moments of wandering Dragonspine, on a search for Albedo, who'd invited you for a research project.

Footsteps rung through your ears, coming closer, and closer.. until you felt cold fingers trail itself on your arm, a chilling breeze kisses the skin on your face.

"You're finally awake.. I was wondering if you were still alive." With a click, a blinding light turns on, making you shut your eyes, trying to adjust to the sight.

The light was helpful to try and recognize your captor. It was none other than the one who invited you here in the first place-- the chief alchemist himself, Albedo.
