Dark and gloomy, the dungeon is the ugly underbelly of the castle. A few torches line the black stone walls, throwing a meager light on the iron bars of the cells. The air is damp and still; the only disruptions are the occasional anguished moans and cries from the prisoners.
Dungeon, Inside Castle
prisoner
guard
I am a guard at the royal castle.  I am brave and strong.  It is my duty to protect the king.
What brings you here prisoner? What is wrong with you? You locked me up for nothing and won't let me leave. Why are you attacking me? I didn't lock you up, it's just my shift to watch the prisoners. Sorry, being violent comes with the gig. I hope to be more than a prison guard someday. So what are they accusing you of. Nothing? Well if you want to do something other than be a guard you'll have to stop being so violent. They claim I was stealing because I found a bucket of apples on the ground and picked it up. No one was around and I was trying to feed my family. Oh well, I can't help you there, if it was in a bucket someone picked them, You can only take apples on the ground, kingdom rules. How was I supposed to know I couldn't pick up an abandoned bucket? And that means I have to spend the rest of my life here? No, the King will probably just give you some lashings, they don't lock people up forever for stealing food. It just takes him awhile to sentence people, he's a buisy man you know. Yeah busy ruining the kingdom. This is ridiculous. People shouldn't be held in these condtions. Look there's a rat here! How is that ok? That's Pete, he eats the spiders. You named the rat? What? I gotta get out of here. Can you let me go? I'll pick up my family and leave the kingdom. I promise you'll never see me again. No I would be thrown in prison for that, if you want I can check on your family, I have a couple fruit trees I will bring them some food, but you might be here a couple weeks Oh. That would be so kind of you. I didn't think any kind people were left in the kingdom. Thank you.
