At the main dungeon of Cordon at Capital City 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m

Pinra's nails dug deep into the wall as she made another mark for herself that day. For yet another day, she woke up once more inside the cell where she had been detained.

"It's been ten days already, Father," she murmured with a smirk as she stared at the wall in front of her.

The visage of her father remained there beside her, keeping her company as if to stop her from descending into complete madness. Although, Pinra couldn't help but wonder if it was truly her father's ghost or if it was merely an illusion formed by her frayed mind. Maybe it was both? Then again, who even cares? So long as her father chose to stay by her side, nothing else mattered. Whether it was in the form of a ghost or a hallucination, it was all the same to her. He was here, and she was there for him…

This was still the man she called her father… The man she had fail-

Pinra's eyes widened in fear as she quickly shook off the thought that threatened to form in her head. No… There was no peace to be found should she go down that road… This was her father. There was no need to think any further than that…

"Isn't it funny how you favored Gilas only for the bastard to turn out to not be your real son?" Pinra scoffed at the illusion.

"Then again, you only had him in your eyes despite knowing that he wasn't your own. Was it because of his mother Shila, your mate, whom you loved so dearly?" She chuckled, "Aren't you disappointed that Gilas betrayed even after you've been so lenient with him in sparing his life? That despite knowing that he's the fruit of the love between your brother and your mate, you still chose to let him live?"

Her eyes then narrowed as she coldly continued, "Till the end… It is I who remained and stayed by your side, Father. I vow to never disappoint you no matter what. I will kill Gilas and the people responsible for your death." She growled, "I will show you that it is I who truly loves and cares for you. It is I… who deserved your recognition no matter what…"

Pinra attempted to move, but the shackles keeping her bound restricted her movements. The silver chains restraining her wrists and ankles dug into her bare skin, and yet she didn't care. It was all the same pain to her anyway.

But just as she thought she was making some decent headway, the silver door to her cell swung open, a tray of meals pushed towards her in their usual schedule.

Immediately, she turned to the guard that gave her the meal. "I want to talk to Gilas. Please inform Gilas, I beg you…" she politely murmured, teary-eyed as she stared intently at him. "Inform him that I want to have a word with him…"

The guard simply stared at her, and Pinra almost wanted to grind her teeth as she added with a sob, "I only want a word with him. What harm can I do? I'm all chained up here…"

"The Great Constable hasn't returned to the Capital City yet," the guard coldly replied. But after a bit, he added, "But I suppose I will relay your message to him."

She blinked gratefully at the guard as he left. However, as soon as she was once again left alone, her previously soft and gentle expressions were quickly replaced with a smug smirk. Sure of herself, Pinra looked around at the small abode where she was currently imprisoned. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

She was obviously in the dungeon, and all the cells along with her own were made up of silver bars lined with sharp and pointed silver blades. In fact, the damnable metal was interwoven throughout the portions of the walls that couldn't possibly be used as an escape. As a result, anyone who dared attempt to escape would die as soon as those poisoned blades dug deep within their flesh.

Of course, that didn't stop Pinra from trying… with her getting mixed results every time she tried. Still, this time was going to be different.

"It is time…"

Pinra murmured to herself as she got herself into position. Yanking on her own chains, she sat down with her legs crossed, her breathing leveled and steady as she meditated. A few seconds passed, and she soon followed up her motions with a series of quiet chants and murmurs. A beat passed, and a searing hot pain shot up her spine, making her sit up straight and rigid as she gritted her teeth.

Her eyes perked up as her body convulsed for a few seconds. Through it all, she cursed and writhed, holding onto the very pain she was feeling to keep herself sane. Through the pain, she embraced herself, keeping her mind occupied with a vengeance before she finally fell to the ground with her head bowed down to the dirt she had called her bed.

"J-Just a bit more…"

She panted hard as the burning pain traveled all over her body. She ground her teeth, her blood leaking out of her mouth as she did her best not to bite her tongue. It had to be perfect… She had made sure of it…

A minute passed, but eventually, her efforts paid off as an image of a black serpent suddenly appeared across her back. It undulated for a bit, curling as if it was seeking something from her before moving right across her shoulder and down her forearm. It then caressed her fingertips before finally ascending back up her skin and coiling around her arm.

Breathing through her teeth, Pinra had a wicked smile on her face as she looked at the new addition she had just gained. With a look of vengeance and murder, she murmured, "Rejoice and celebrate while you can my dear cousin… because this isn't the end just yet."
