It was a strange silence, one that no reason into his body and gave birth to paranoia. It was deafening even, he thought he could hear but at the same time, he couldn't.
Booms rang in his ears, but they were silent. It was as if the source of those booms were his own body, wriggling and struggling.
The restraints had gotten even tighter, and the spikes embedded within had already given rise to infections.
His bloodline energy was drained, and this these infections were allowed to wreak havoc, unimpeded.
His body felt...odd.
The restraints made sure he was numb to everything, and the environment around him, which weakened him immensely guaranteed that, but he felt odd.
The man he had met, David Umber had come here a while a earlier and planted strange tubes with metallic, spiky ends into various parts of his body, they sucked him dry of his blood, but most importantly...
They drained his Mana.
