Guards
With the guards taken care of, Alec was able to easily locate Nicholas. He just had to trace it down to the place where he heard them dragging the teen earlier on.
Now, outside the 'door', he could hear the teen's laboured breaths. They were at times steady, at other times unsteady, which made Alec feel a little confused.
It sounded like he was having a nightmare, yet his heartbeat was much too soft for that to be the case. He didn't seem to be in distress.
Using the key that he'd taken from the guard, he opened the door up with ease.
He entered the cell that was different from his.
Unlike his cell that had been modified to use 'dripping' as a form of subtle torture and way to block his Magitype, Nicholas didn't have any such additions.
Instead, it just looked like a plain dungeon cell. If those could be called plain, that was.
