Prisoners

In one of the rooms in the Starastok City Duke's residence, a girl woke up from her slumber. She opened her eyes, blinking repeatedly, trying to navigate her new world after realizing that she was no longer asleep.

"Am I dreaming?" Her question hung in the air, a small whispering voice trying to make sense of her situation. Trying to remember, she woke up and opened her eyes wider, seeking clarity in her surroundings.

She tried to recognize every inch of the room that seemed so foreign to her. Her first attempt was to sit up, feeling how her body responded to every movement. Her body, which previously felt fragile, had improved slightly; her energy was slowly replenished.
