Centuries ago,
ZELDA'S POV
A guard passed a golden bowl to the Nobleman, who was without a weapon before they started walking back in coordinated steps toward me.
Strange words that sounded like chants fell from the lips of the guards as they looked downward like there was a curse that they would meet if they dared look up.
The sounds of the unknown words increased, and the fire from the fire pits flickered, and the flames burned brighter.
I had no knowledge of where we were at the moment but I could tell that it was nowhere close to where sane humans exist. But this did not stop me from screaming still.
The pain on my cheek did not matter, the ropes that were eating into my skin at different points did not matter. I just did not want to die without at least struggling to live.
‘To live for what exactly?!’
But then…
A small gasp was heard from outside and the Noblemen paused in the procession as they looked at each other.
