The light revealed a large room, dull and grey with stone, very tall, and very wide. The view Black Shadow could now see brought horror to his mind. Along the walls, on every side, in rows, and stack on top of each other, were various cages of various sizes all filled with the different monsters they had seen attacking the village. They all were in pain, being tortured, and some had parts of their bodies removed and replaced with some sort of Alerian machinery. Arms, legs, and even parts of the body and head were replaced by metal. One, a wolflike creature, had all four legs replaced and on the new legs were spikes. on its shoulder there was what appeared to be a cross bow.

Black Shadow walked to one of the cages and places his hand on the bars looking in. The creature did not even move in his presence, almost as if they were afraid to lash out in fear of punishment. The sight horrified Black Shadow. If this is what the town did, this is why the monsters were attacking, then Black Shadow would surely stop it.

"It's horrifying, isn't it?" A voice came from behind Black Shadow. He pulled an arrow from his quiver and drew his bowstring, aiming it at the figure's face. He was surprised to see then that it was Mae. She threw her hands up in surrender. "Please don't shoot me," She said softly. "I find all of this awful, they should not do this. The attack on the town, it happens because of this." [incomplete]
