GAME: WORLD OF WARCRAFT
CHARACTER: KALEYEN
His world was black, Kaleyen walked around endlessly lost in the
darkness as he encountered visions of his life. From his father
teaching him how to properly hold a bow, his mother showing him the
essentials of tracking and even when receiving a kiss on the cheek from
his childhood crush, it all came to him in waves. Each one leaving a
feeling of lost longing on a life he no longer had, a life that was
stolen from him. He knew his end was near, often hearing tales that
ones life flashing before your eyes before passing over, yes he would
soon be no longer of this world.
Muffled screams and sobbing
stirred him awake, Kaleyen slowly opened one eye rubbing away the
crusted on dirt and blood before opening the other. Taking in his
surroundings he found himself in a cage with several other people, he
didn't recognize a single face but that partly could be due to the fact
that his vision was still blurry. Looking out beyond his own enclosure
he noticed that there were many cages in rows identical to the one he
occupied, each having several people packed within. Each occupant was
dressed in the same attire, the men in nothing but tattered linen pants
that most looked like shorts, the women had the same lower garments
while only some had tops to cover their chests and the children that
were present seemed to be wearing whatever remains could be patched
together. Everyone had the same cuffs around their wrists and ankles
which connected together with a few links of chain and then a longer
chain that ran vertical with their body that connected the links of
their wrists and ankles together. Escape in these would not be possible
as they prevented the wearer from running or walking fast.
Reaching
up Kaleyen pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger
as his mind went through what possibilities of escape he would have.
Not sure how he didn't notice it right away, the stench of blood, human
feces and decaying bodies hit his senses all at once. Without warning
his body lurched forward as his mouth opened in a dry heave before the
contents of his stomach were spewed out over his feet and legs. Kaleyen
took his head between his hands to try to make the ground from
spinning, planting one foot on the ground as he attempted to stand up
his body screamed it's rejection. Falling back to his knees as he
wrapped his arms around his torso to bare the sharp shooting pain that
moved throughout his entire body. Closing his eyes as the darkness
reclaimed him, in his mind he once again saw the vision of his youth, it
was the only light in his world.
