Junior Brother

Chains rattled noisily inside a very dim and humid underground cave system. 

Two men were walking side by side without saying a word, their figures enshrouded underneath layers of black cloth, only their callus hands visible through the wide sleeves of their uniforms. 

One of them was locking his rigid fingers in long strands of silver-white hair, dragging the figure of a naked young man through the shallow waters and dusty ground as they made their way into the depths of the tunnels. 

The further they traveled, the more evident a faint sound of the whip striking through the air and muffled groans intermixed with crazy laughter vibrated in their ears, but they nonetheless trudged forward silently. 

Very quickly they arrived inside an open underground space where they found a group of similarly dressed silent men and another naked man with long black hair.
