My head..." he muttered, rubbing his temples, feeling the sharp ache like a vice around his skull. As his eyes adjusted to the dim light of the room, he scanned his surroundings. The flat walls were bare, with no windows to speak of, and the cold stone floor felt alien beneath his fingertips. Rangi sat cross-legged in a meditative position, his eyes closed in a state of tranquility, while Voltus, sitting slightly apart, stared blankly at the floor as though lost in thought."Where the hell are we?"

His thoughts were fragmented, scattered like pieces of a puzzle he couldn’t quite put together."Maleek! Wake up!" A voice pierced through the stillness of his mind, urgent and insistent.
