First Day In Hell

A red bright light began flash waking me up, in front of my cell stood two men, they were wearing white long coats and had a red mash on their faces, without giving me time to understand what was happening they took me for my arms and began to drag me away.

I got taken out of my cell and escorted out of the hall where all the others cells where, I saw long white corridors full of glass tube full of a green liquid where abominations and deformed child were contained.

There were hundreds of those, the two men continued dragging me until they arrived in front of a red iron door, it was way bigger than the rest of the doors we passed into.

The door slowly opened, inside the Doctor awaited, a sly smile on his face, I had the thought of launching myself toward him before realising how futile that would have been.

The two guards latched me on a chair similar to that of a dentist, the doctor without waiting a moment etched in my side a little tube that began sucking out something, a pain way greater than what I endured until then assalted me, a shining liquid started to come out at the same time, my expression transformed into one of pure fear mist to pain.

The Doctor looking at my face, chuckled a little before giving the answers I really needed "Nyx, let me tell you something, every creature has a little organ that the ignorants call 'mana reserves', that organ produces a liquid that gets absorbed by your body and enable you to use magic connecting your will to the mana that wanders all around us" his gaze moved towards the increasing liquid that was being extracted "It seems like your organ is capable of producing an immense, if not never ending, quantity of this liquid, probably because this enormous quantity of liquid is being constantly absorbed by your body you are experimenting what is called 'Mana Poisoning' and this is damaging your body terribly".

He ten took a look at the containers, his smile grew "if we continue this operation, I could extend your life, the damage is irreversible so there is no way to revert you back to be healthy, still better than nothing, don't you think?".

After he filled two large containers with the shiny liquid he disconnect the tube giving me a long awaited relief, he then took a look at my me whispering in my ears "I've searched for someone like you for years, many years, be good and maybe I will bring you back to your family", I knew he was lying to me, but I still put on the most scared expression I could muster, trembling I said "Yes, sir".

He seemed pleased by my answer he soon called the two guards from before, they took me again, but this time the Doctor asked them to be more careful, once I returned to my cell the usual pain that always hunted me diminished a little.

A guard after a few minutes came inside the hall bringing food to us all, it was luxury food, probably to keep us good.

Soon after eating all the food all I was left with was silence and darkness, I soon fell asleep, I missed the light of the sun, I missed my family and I missed my freedom.

...

The Doctor was still looking at the containers, normally even draining twenty five intermediate mages wouldn't even fill one container, the fact she seemed fine even after training so much surprised him, if only she could be used forever.

Just as he crossed the red door a magic message arrived to him, it was from his spy at the Imperial Library.

*Doc, I've found something pretty important, it seems to be an ancient magic that the empire has found in some ruins in the southern continent*

"And so what, why did you call me? I remember telling you that you shouldn't have called me even if your life was in danger" the Doctor expression gave off his irritation.

*It seems this magic was about Immortality, the empire researchers are still translating it, they will probably destroy it once they have finished*

"Mhm, if it's so, rob the translated version and original once the researchers finished, kill everyone involved" an idea popped inside the Doctor's head, an idea that had Nyx protagonist.

*but Doc Valentine told us to be careful, this could attract to much attention*

"You answer to me, not him, execute the order and come back to me with everything" the Doctor then closed abruptly the transmission.
