Mira shook her head as she answered, "They were guards we have never seen before in any of the fractions. They had no energy signatures and no records in our data. We couldn't detect anything."
She stopped speaking, and her expression made it seem like she was revisiting the memories of that particular day from eleven years ago.
It was Thorne who continued the story. "Before we could have even realized what was going on, they attacked us with some sort of powerful sleeping spell, one that knocked us out in seconds. And when we woke up, we were already locked in that dungeon."
The one who spoke next was Elandra. Her voice was soft as she voiced out the horrors she and the others went through. "At first, we did everything to get out from there. But no spell, no protest, no planning, and no negotiation worked in our favor. They knew exactly what they needed to do in order to keep us trapped there."
