what happens next

*Basileus* · 09-09-2018, 02:42 PM

The familiar groan of the hatch's hinges woke him. The searing light that came through the opening brought stinging tears to Basileus' eyes and he was forced to clamp them shut for several seconds as they adjusted. "Still alive, Scarlatti?" His eyes opened and he glared into the too bright light. Although he couldn't see the man, he hoped he was looking. Hoped Enrico would see the hate in his eyes.

Initially he'd been confused by the aid given to him, baffled as to why an enemy would waste time on tending to his wounds, but now? Now he thought he understood. He was convinced that Enrico had brought him here to watch him suffer. Why else would he be kept here of all places? No light, no fresh air. He lived and breathed filth. His own filth. It was degrading and he could think of no other reason for this than that the bastard wanted him to be miserable. To get Basileus back for pursuing him.

His hatred momentarily rendered him speechless so there was little more he could do than growl to let Enrico know that why yes, he was indeed still alive. Thanks for asking, traitorous bastard.
