She shuddered and felt as much as heard the chain linked around her waist move. 'Behind a barrier and bound.' Her hands moved to where the chain was linked around her waist, following it down to a spike buried deep in the packed earth, affording her about three feet of leash (though she desperately tried to keep that comparison off her mind). She took that length and crawled blindly, seeing if she could find anything out, but it was for naught.
Her patrol done, she quietly moved back into the middle of the circle and sat cross-legged, trying to remember any details from the night before, but it too was for naught. She could remember nothing from when the Prince had taken control of her.
"Just relax," came a whisper; it was deep and brooding, like mead poured over thunder, its sound all too familiar. "We all serve him in our time. Relax and it will all be that much better." She wanted to laugh and cry and scream all at once, but instead she just sighed, feeling defeated and betrayed and utterly trapped.
