[Chapter 6]

"Stand yourself."

[with hidden anger Nova stands]

[Pulling him to a carrage in front of the hospital a few guards open the door and Nova passes through and sees a group of knights in Iron clad armor and at the front was a knight with a raven colored armor and a long sword in a scabbard with unusual engravings]

[They enter a carrage with bars on the window and four guards surrounding Nova, two need to him and two across from him, each covered from head to toe in Iron clad armor and the young girl in the middle of the guards across from Nova]

[Opening the door and sticking his head out the window, one of the guards shouted]

"we have the prisoner secure. we're ready to depart. "

[slowly, the carrage begins to move. citizens and people alike watching as the carrage was leaving]

[After a while of the carrage moving Nova look out of the widows with bars blocking his full view a d only seeing buildings and stores. Taking a deep breath]

Nova: Where are we going?

Guard 1: silence, we will soon arrive

Nova: Yeah, but arrive where?

Guard 1: silence.

[After some more time of the carrage moving, it slows down, then comes to a complete stop. Two of the four guards exit, and the young girl then goes to walk out while pulling Nova with her. he walks out of the dim carrage into the sun shining on his face, but when he looks up, he stops in his tracks. There are two suns in the sky. he didn't even notice that in front of him was a castle bigger and grander than expected. the castle stretched far and wide with guards placed all over and people entering and exiting, dressed in clothes that looked like they were from the dark ages]

Guard 1: This way

[Pulling him to a side entrance, .the guards escorted Nova inside the castle. upon entering the castle, they passed many rooms and halls and arrived at an ominous oak door. the knight in raven colored armor walked forward to the door and began to push it, the creaking of the door expressing how old it is. The raven knight opened the door and the guards walked through with Nova, as he passed the door he looked at it and saw that the door was massive on the interior, not only was it massive but the floor was imprinted with a dent that expressed the weight of it.]

[Through a narrow hallway where only two at a time were able to stand side by side, the stairs spiraling downward and seeming endless. As they finally reached the end of the spiral stairs, another door blocked their way. Again, the raven knight walked over, but this time, his walk seemed more firm and authoritative. He reached the door and began to push. However, this time, the door creaked and creaked as it opened ever so slightly. They walked through, the raven knight taking the lead, as they walked through a dark hallway with faint light, there were cells on each side as prisoners and captives chained to the walls and chained to the floor, suddenly a large amount of captives began to rush towards the front bars desperately]

"Help!"

"Get me out!"

"I'm innocent!"

"Please!"

"Why am I here?!"

"Let me out you tin cans!"

[Some other creatures that looked semi human began to speak plead and cry along with most of them.]

[throughout the long Corridor Nova saw a few of the captives were laid back and had a calm yet assertive feel to them. The shade blocked their eyes, and some of their body]

Raven knight: SHUT UP YOU SCUM BAGS!!

[As the Raven knight shouted, the captives slowly quiet down]

[This time, they passed through a regular door and entered a dark room.]

[The young girl began to speak again, and the weird symbols began to appear in a circle around her again]

[Suddenly, a yellow light sphere appeared over the giant room, and the sphere began to rise to the roof of the room in the middle of the room they was a old wooden chair]

Raven Knight [in an authoritative voice]: Sit

[Hesitating Nova walks to the chair and sits down]

Raven Knight: We have a few questions for you, but first, as a captive and suspected spy, we shall 'encourage' you to cooperate.

Nova: Wait, what?

Raven knight: Bring in a table suitable for my 'equipment'

Nova: What questions?

Raven knight: Who are you?

Nova: Nova. Who are you?

Raven knight: You will remain silent unless you are answering a question. It seems word has spread of a tower rising in the south, and many adventurers and guards of the king have perished all the same.

[with a poker face Nova's thoughts did not reflect in his face]

{what the hell is he talking

Nova: what'sthe question?

Raven Knight: The Souldom Kingdom, do you hail from there?

Nova: No

[sigh]Raven Knight: I would like you to know I do not take pleasure in this nor do I derive joy.

[picking up what reassembled a pair of pliers the Raven Knight walked towards Nova slowly, the sound of his armor echoing in the empty room. He walks behind Nova and picks up his right hand]

Raven Knight:Where do you hail from?

Nova: I didn't come from the Souldom Kingdom, and I didn't come from any other kingdom or anything.

Raven knight: Ashame it is indeed

Nova: What? I told you the truth.

[bringing the pair of pliers close to Nova's hand]

Raven Knight: The truth shall be known

Nova: IM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH!

Raven Knight: We shall see

gripping Nova's index fingernail with the pliers, he slowly begins to pull. as the nail slowly exits Nova's finger skin tries its hardest to cling to his finger, but the nail moves further from his finger with every passing second.

Nova: AAAHHHHHHH!!!!

[ The fingernail gripped in the pliers drops to the hard stone ground as the pliers loosen. The Raven Knight lets go of Nova's hand as it drops down, blood dripping from his index finger.]

Raven Knight: Fetch me a priest or an Imperial Healer. I have much to ask, and we will not be done until the truth be known

Guard 3: Yes sir
