As Alistair was roughly thrown into his cramped cell, his body aching from the brutal fight he had just endured. He had strained himself, fighting as a man and using his inner strength.It had been a long time since he fought with his vampiric strength concealed and his humane strength in use. Thus, he felt weak from within and he knew he needed to feed his nature with blood to feel good again. The guards' words lingered in his ears, echoing through the dimly lit room. "You fight better than the prisoners we've had in the past. You will be taken to the cage often as from now, you'll fight more."His comrades huddled around him, their eyes wide with disbelief at his return.
