Found the Amethyst

"Stop moving, you'll only hurt yourself," a man said to him. The man looked at him with a flat, blank stare. 

Shan didn't listen, he kept moving hoping that the ropes on his body would loosen and he could get away from there. 

"Are you really stupid or what? The rope won't get looser but stronger if you keep moving. It's a magic rope, you know." 

The man's additional words brought Shan to a halt. He let out a rough breath and glanced at the man beside him. The man who was experiencing the same thing as Shan. 

"Why are you here? Aren't you going with those savage human associates?" Shan asked inwardly. 

"Shouldn't you be grateful I'm here? That means I'm on your side!" the man retorted.
