It was night again. Elegy was heading to his room after a hard day of work helping the players through the stone tower and back. He wasn't expecting it when the same figure from his nightmare grabbed him and covered his mouth. He attempted to scream but it just came out muffled. He passed out.
Elegy woke up in a pitch black room. He couldn't see a thing. He tried to move, but his arms and legs were tied up. He attempted to yell for help, yet his mouth felt like it was… sewn together. He was terrified of where he was, and what was going to happen to him. A sudden light flashed on and Elegy jumped. He closed his eyes tightly, and then slowly opened them as they adjusted to the new light. The figure stepped into the light, blocking it from hitting Elegy's face, which is what he needed. The sun did help him feel better, so that light would do the same. The figure gave Elegy a kick on his side, and Elegy yipped in pain, which caused the stitches on his mouth to break apart his lips and bleed. Elegy closed his eyes tightly in pain and whimpered. "Stupid child. You need to withstand pain better." The figure snapped at him. Elegy attempted to scoot away from the figure, tears in his closed eyes. The figure put his foot on Elegy's chest to hold him still, but Elegy couldn't breathe. Elegy's eyes opened, and they were wide. The figure took his foot off of Elegy's chest, allowing him to breathe, and Elegy nearly gasped for air, but he stopped himself, remembering the stitches. Elegy looked down at the ropes tying his legs together. They were really tight. Elegy looked at the figure with a sad face. The figure pointed a dagger and Elegy's neck, and Elegy's sad face suddenly jumped to a look of terror. The figure put the dagger away. Elegy was trembling and in tears. "What, you want your mommy?" The figure said in a sinister voice. Elegy whimpered when he said that, and looked down. "What?" The figure snapped. More tears slowly dripped down Elegy's face, showing what the figure had to know. "Oh.. Sorry. That doesn't mean I pity you, though." He said, as he took a pair of scissors and slowly cut the thread holding Elegy's mouth closed, and then cut the ropes holding his arms and legs with the dagger. "Now then, will you stop being such a baby and tell me who you are?" Snapped the figure once again. "I-I… I-I'm Elegy.." Elegy quietly stuttered. "Hmm, Alright then. I'm BEN." Said the figure as he stuck out his hand in front of Elegy slightly. Elegy did not take his hand, for his own hand was already shaking and his palms were sweaty from the fear. "Listen kid, if you were so scared of me, you shouldn't have cried in the cave." Elegy's eyes widened. "H-how do you…" Elegy whispered, when BEN interrupted him. "I was the reason you had that dream, Elegy. You should have known better than to keep your guard down like you did."
