The Darkest Hour

He could feel himself being dragged over cobbles and through halls. Where was he? Fabric.. throne room.. His head lulls to the side, blood dribbling from his face as Bron is carried down several flights of stairs. His vision blurs. In. Out. Red. He remembers red lights but he wasn't sure if they were real. The omen was tossed into the cell, his body crumpling on the stone slab as the bars slam down. Groaning he spits out the gag lodged in his maw, rolling onto his side. There was darkness below the cage. Bron weakly tried to sit up and view those who put him there, their words warbled with his ringing ears. He says something but he doesn't hear the words he says - only feeling his lips meekly move. Then he was alone.

Bron slowly blinks as the wounds from being kicked and beaten began to swell on his body into lumps and bruises. Everything ached. The omen slumped onto his side, his eyes adjusting to the dark. Faint red flickered from the single torch present in the room. This was it, wasn't it? The end... He swore he could hear the gnashing of teeth below, the cackling cries of demons trying to call him back from the magics that made him. Hands reached out from the abyss beneath him, their dark claws grasping the edge of the cage.

Give in.

They hate you.

You are selfish.

You failed.

You are nothing.

Mistake. 
Waste of space. 

Animal.

Demon.

 Bron covered his eyes, closing his eyes, curling in on himself. The young druid tried desperately to hear the voices of nature instead as the assault of his own thoughts tore into his pysch. All he wanted was to live. His soul to thrive. Why was this too much to ask?

As the dark encroached on him he muttered what words he could to try and keep little hope alive. His kindling words flickered, his voice rasping.  "In the face of uncertainty, in the darkest of hours that ea shall face, ea will not falter. Ea will not give into the easier path. Ea will not cave to the ease of the shadow." For hours he repeated his vow.. over.. and over.. and over.. 

Aspects.. please.. don't abandon me too.
