Leno flinched at the words, his translucent form thrashing against the walls of his prison.

"No! NO! You can't do this! LET ME OUT!"

The crystal only pulsed in response.

Asher exhaled "Not so courageous now, are you?"

"Please!" he gasped, the arrogance in his tone gone, replaced with something pathetic and small.
