A Tale of A Thousand Years Ago [5]

My head was heavy as if I had been struck with a rock the size of a bucket. I opened my eyes slowly as I regained my consciousness. This feeling was strange, since I was sure that I would've been killed after getting knocked out. 

However, I was still somehow alive. 

My vision was blurry but I was able to see a bright light claiming my field of vision. I rubbed my eyes to get a better view but before I could see, the weight of my hands and the clang of the metal told me that I was chained. 

After I was able to see somewhat clearly I came to know that both my hands and legs were cuffed with heavy iron chains and I was locked inside a wheeled cage. 

It was usually used to transport animals but right now it was being used to keep human children. Children because I was not the only one there, along with me there were five other kids—among them three were whom I didn't recognize, so they were probably from a different village.
