"The pain is temporary," I assure the girl without looking back, glaring at the hazy shadow of my winged reflection up against the pristine marble of the prison wall. Inwardly, I grimace.
"It will be over soon."
And yet looking around, I find there is no escape from it. No way to cast myself away from the screams and the agony that is surely to come. But it is not that in which I loath to hear, more of what it comes with- the memories.
This place is not one I often bring myself so willingly to. It is... stifling.
Trying to contain those tingles of dark magic that worm their way over my skin, I give one more glance to the dishevelled girl, feeling a strange kind of pity for this helpless creature whose life came so close to ruin.
