You won’t give up not now or ever until you’ve fulfilled your duties. You force yourself to get up, to rise from the darkness. Your body protests but you will yourself upward and onward out of the darkness.
You open your eyes and find yourself in a dimly lit stone cell. You are lying on a pile of straw covered by a wool blanket. Your weapon and armor are gone and you have been changed Into A simple rough spun shirt and trousers. You sit up and immediately notice, the bandages covering the cut in your side and the hole in your gut. Your muscles there are tight and tender, but you rise to your feet on unsteady legs using the wall to support yourself. You head over to the bars of your cell and peek out into the hallway. Using the dim light that comes into your cell through the small slit window high on in the wall, you see that hall is empty as is the cell across from you. You call out in a hoarse voice "Hey, is anyone there."
You hear shuffling in the next cell in the and a hand reaches between the bars. Holding a polished piece of metal reflective enough that you can see the face of the person holding it.
"You're alive, thank the goddesses. How do you feel Matthias?" Says the oddly stubbly face of Captain Laro.
"I'm... okay sir, but why are you, here what happened?"
"After the Prince and the Royal family left the throne room I knew that we would not be able to hold the Gerudo, so I pulled everyone back and I escorted what remained of the nobility towards the main gate. We fought our way through the castle and reached the main gate but it was locked tight we were surrounded there and with no hope of escape I surrendered what remained of us and was brought here, but what happened to you, when I saw them bring you in you were in terrible shape, you’re lucky that one of the noble ladies imprisoned here was allowed to treat your wounds. You’ve spent the last week with a fever that only just broke. I’m honestly surprised you survived, what happened to you after you left with the Royal family."
You explain to Laro all that happened. How you acquired your injuries and came to be brought here. When you finish Laro nods thoughtfully and says " I see, you did good Matthias, it's not easy to surrender, but sometimes it's the best thing you can do."
