PAIN

PAIN...

That was what first attacked Kai's senses when he opened his eyes. He groaned... The area he was in was so dark that a knife could slice through it. The air felt moist...

He tried to move. The pain came again, this time from his wrist and ankles. That was when he looked at himself. He was chained with silver cuffs in a standing position. His wrists were attached to the ceiling and his feet to the ground. Even the slightest movement pushed the silver cuffs to his skin, causing his flesh to sizzle.

A part of his body was covered in blood, battered. Why wasn't he healing?

Like a movie recap, the scenes of how he got caught came back. He winced in pain.

WOLFSBANE...

He could remember someone screaming for the substance. And he could also remember feeling rods on his skin and burning sensations flowing through his body. The realization hit: they poured wolfsbane on the rods and probably injected a very little quantity into him.
