Chapter 10: Pain
The creature came to a halt in front of him, its reptilian eyes squinting. The atmosphere in the barracks became stifling. Mordred felt his stomach knot under the pressure of that inhuman gaze. Had he done something wrong?
The monster sniffed loudly, then clicked his tongue contemptuously.
- You.
His voice was deep, gravelly, imbued with cold brutality.
Mordred didn't reply.
He didn't know what to say.
The other slaves kept their heads down, staring at the ground as if they'd ceased to exist.
Mordred felt his instincts screaming. Something was wrong.
The monster raised a clawed hand and brought it down on him without warning.
A searing shock exploded in his skull.
His vision went black.
