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
the queen
prisoner
I am a prisoner at the current point in my life. I was thrown in here for the wrong things and none of the guards will help me or let me explain my side. There is no way for me to fight this. I guess my only choice is to try and break out. I have a family I need to take care of.
Queen, my lady please help Hello,may I ask why you are in here? That is what I was going to ask you. I have committed no crime. I was thrown in here without explanation. I pay my taxes and do everything a normal peasant should. Please help me, I have a family to care for. Which of my men did this to you? I will have them take your place if you are telling the truth. One of your guards, I do not know his name. He was drinking the night he took me. Short, portly man. Black beard. Ah yes, I know the one. He has begun to wear me down with his drinking. I have given him his last chance. Let me tell the guards to let you out. Thank you benevolent queen. I am not worthy of your kindness. HOw long have you been in this cell? A few days, I was walking home from the marked 3 moons ago and your guard ran into me and spilled his ale. I think he threw me in here for that, but he accused me of something far worse. I see. What a buffoon. This cell now belongs to him. When was the last time you ate? I will send you home with food for your family. I ate a night ago, I am hungry, but more worried for my family. I appreciate your kindness queen, but I wold really prefer to get back to them and let them know I am alive. Yes, lets get you on your way. Follow me.
