They crowded around the two of them, pressing them into the cages. He had tried to warn her of what was going on, but was immediately silenced by a fist to the jaw. Seth Dahlios had little draw here, and his name meant nothing while he was in the chains. Instead he merely stepped into his cage and waited his turn. He didn’t have to wait long, they rose Skie up, before carefully placing her down below. A mechanism on the bottom of the cage opened silently letting the woman out of her cage.

Seth however, could tell there was more to the situation than it seemed. SNickers could be heard as his cage was lifted up. The man who called himself warden limped forward, his eyes locking with the demon, “Any last words?”

Seth knew he shouldn’t. Really it was a matter of petty pride if he attacked the warden now. He was locked in a cage, hanging over his prison and there was nothing to be gained in an attack. Still he lashed out in the only way he could, keeping eye contact he muttered, “You don’t know the true meaning of pain.”

It had been years since he had experienced the pain of electrocution, but it was a pain he couldn’t ever forget. Something so amazingly overpowering that he was sure the Warden would not be prepared for it. Instead, his attack on the nerves of the man was met with that maddening gurgle that marked the Warden’s laugh. His eyes filled with Mirth as he spoke, “Electrocution Demon? Is that your pain?”

Seth knew he had misstepped when the man waved off the attack like so much water down his back. He wrenched against the bars of his prison, only to see a rod wrap against his hands. The warden gestured to the hole with his staff before he said, “Drop it.”

Seth made eye contact with the man who gave him a gruesome smile. There was only a moment there, but he could see the perverse satisfaction in his eyes. The man grabbed a lever and pulled, dropping Seth’s cage into the hole. When the cage hit bottom it was with a cacophonous sound that echoed down the tunnels he could see. The cage shattered around him, leaving the man lying on the ground and groaning from he sudden overstimulation of pain and noise. He groaned rolling to his front as he heard shouts from the tunnels.

People were coming.

He heard the warden’s voice call out, “They will try to kill you...kill them back.”
