The darkness dispersed leaving the grey brick of the ston walls. My back ached from where they'r roughly tore the blade away. The air was stale, the rank stench of death hung around me like a shroud. I had been knighted and honoured by kings, now I lay alone.

The small patch of light that leaked through the barred window moved slowly across the floor, the light stretching across my limp hand. There was no point in moving, they would be back soon and I would die again. Each time it happened the aching would take over. Now my throbbed.

My hand claenched as the last drop of light passed through my fingers. No birds tweeted outside the bars, no wind whistled, no voices called to each other. Only the sound of my breathe and something else. I slowly turned my head to look at the wall, a grinding shaking the stone. As I watched one of the bricks fell to dust. A wide eye peered through.

"Hello?" it whispered.

Appearance: Black shaggy hair that is always in his eyes. He wears a black shirt and black pants. Barefooted (what's the point of shoes when you're not going anywhere). He is tall and has a broad build.
Personality: He is quiet and reserved. He's very anti-social and if he does talk it's usually to insult someone who's getting on his nerves. Though that is more of an act to keep the other prisoners away from him. On the inside he's very worried about the other prisoners. Can hide his emotions.
