Elliot Hawthorn

Answering his question of the inspectors cleared his throat harshly, his eyes narrowing as he delivered the punishment. "Your punishment will be a night in the 'Abyssal Chamber' with mana chains binding your limbs. You will be left in complete darkness, with mana-consuming specters that will drain your energy slowly, leaving you weak and vulnerable. These specters will also invade your mind, preying on your fears, twisting them into horrifying illusions that can break even the strongest of minds. You will hear screams—echoes of past victims who lost their sanity within those walls. Most who enter the Abyssal Chamber come out scarred for life, if they ever come out at all. No food. No water. Just you, the darkness, and the spirits of despair."

The cruelty of the punishment made Elliot shiver uncontrollably. This was simply inhumane, and he was going to face this? At this rate, he wasn't sure he would come out alive… or even sane.
