Threatened

***ARTEMIS***

It was after our lunch was delivered that I saw Master Li again. He still had his smug look and creepy smile which I really wanted to rip off his face.

"Greetings Maiden of the Moon. I hope you're enjoying your stay and our hospitality." Master Li said in a mocking manner.

"Oh you know, a cold cell with my feet shackled and no access to my magic, it feels like home." I retorted, sarcasm dripping at my every word.

I found it hard to believe as well, but I felt cut off from magic. And I was pretty sure it was because of the shackles that bound me in my prison cell. Abian said they were made of a special metal that can only be mined from the bowels of Mt. Makiling. It was one of the reasons the dalaketnons want to claim the entire mountain and the surrounding areas as their territory. The metal can cut off a person's connection to any forms of magic. In other words, the metal can neutralize my magic.
