Name

I heard him whisper beside me but even if I extended my arm I couldn't reach him. The tattoo of the light circle helped me see for a bit but the dense darkness was making it so difficult. My little flame was extinguishing very fast. My hands were shaking now and my legs didn't have any strength left to stand up.

Then I felt some metallic shackles grab my ankles as if they managed to do that on their own. They moved like serpents tightening around my legs. I knew they would leave a horrible mark and some Duke won't like that at all.

Goodness, they were so cold that I could feel how they were freezing my legs. I felt some ice forming in my shoes and my dress, my beautiful black dress was now humid and cold. The feeling in my body was so numbing that I couldn't even stand up anymore as my knees were giving up to the pain. I tried to fight the cold again with little light enchantments but every time it was useless, my power was now depleting.
