The flat walls were bare, with no windows to speak of, and the cold stone floor felt alien beneath his fingertips.

It was familiar, soothing in its desperation.Groaning, Maleek stirred. His head throbbed, and his body felt like it had been through hell. Slowly, his senses returned, one by one—touch, sound, sight.
