***Prologue***
The children ran as fast as they could away from the guards, through the darkest depth of the abbey. "Don't let them escape, we can't afford it!" shouted one of the guards, Amelia turned quickly to see how close they were to catching them and hoped this nightmare will be over soon, "We're gonna be outta here soon, I promise" said Tala as he grabbed her hand and ushered her to keep up. Both could see the training ground at the end of the tunnel, feeling so close to freedom with the others on the other side waiting for them, but suddenly more guards blocked the entrance! Amelia let out a small cry but Tala refused to admit defeat and took Amelia to another route but was blocked by the other guards that eventually caught up. The kids stood with fear trembling through their mind with the consequences of attempting to escape, Tala whispered to his friend "It'll be ok" and held her hand tightly behind him. That's when they heard the footsteps approaching nearby from the shadows of the abbey and the familiar face came into the light, his expression remained emotionless but his presence strikes fear into their heart. Boris eventually broke the silence "I have to applaud you two getting this far and so close, did you really think I can afford to let my best candidates go?", Tala quickly responded "We're done with this, I would rather rot outside than stay another day in here!". "Is that so? What about your other friends here, or would you rather they suffer at your cost?" said Boris, Tala felt a pang of guilt in that moment and did not consider those who would be left behind, Boris continued to play the guilt trip "I'm sure they would benefit the extra training at your expense". Amelia however could not let this guilt consume her and let the others suffer at their cost and screamed "Please don't punish them, it was my decision to leave, Tala tried to stop me", Boris looked at the pair and signalled to the guards to take Amelia away swiftly, however Tala attempted to hold onto her tight and refused to let her be taken but he could not hold her any longer as the guards separated them, she stared into Tala's eyes and whispered "It'll be ok" and smiled to reassure him. Despite this he continued fighting the guards off but was held tightly in place. He turned to Boris and expressed his anger but Boris just chuckled and said "Clearly my boy, you need more electrotherapy to control your emotions too. Have you not understood emotions is for the weak, Amelia has demonstrated that", Tala pleaded "Please, let me go in her place" silence filled the room briefly but Boris broke it "Take him to solitude and amplify the voltage, soon you'll thank me for this" as they descend back into the darkness.
