To Lakeview
As Draven takes Silas's lifeless corpse back to his family, miles away from the site of their clash, Beau confronts a torment unimaginable in the gloom of a cavern.
"ARRRRRGGHHHH!!!" His screams reverberate through the cavern as worms burrow into his brain, pilfering his memories by force.
"Hahaha!" Opposite the bleeding man, Circe stands with a sinister grin etched on her face. "Don't resist; it only heightens the agony."
"AAAAAHHHH!!!" Beau can neither think nor speak; only desperate screams escape him, a visceral plea for death.
Circe strokes his hair, savoring his pain as if it were a rare delicacy. "You might try to resist, but no one ever has succeeded... no one can keep secrets from me."
Beau's screams endure for hours; his body kept to its limits by Circe's dark magic.
Soon, two hooded figures enter the cave and find her. "Circe," one speaks in a respectful tone while casting a sorrowful glance at the bloodied Beau.
