Whispers filled Jinn's ears, distant and close at the same time, echoing through his ears.
The air was heavy, thick with a strange scent of iron and ash, and it clung to his lungs as he struggled to breathe.
It was suffocating.
At the same time. His arms mysteriously ached.
*clank...! *clank...!
He heard the subtle clanking of metal chains as he tried to move, the sound bouncing chains around whatever room he was in.
"urgh..."
Groaning softly, he slowly cracked his eyes open.
What greeted him was an eerie scene—the chamber was dimly lit with a blue hue of light, radiating from unknown devices placed randomly throughout the dark room.
Dark-robed figures moved purposely in the background, some hunched over tables with bubbling chemicals, while others stood before floating holograms of what looked like twisted strands of pure black corrupted eidra.
Jinn's vision blurred as he blinked hard, trying to make sense of where he was.
But the situation only grew worse.
