บท 140: Hundred whips

When Rhea woke up, even before opening her eyes, she breathed in the stench of dried blood and rotten iron that filled her nostrils, making her gag. She realized the atmosphere wasn't freezing cold, but instead stuffy and suffocating, and it made her realize she wasn't in the Dragon realm.

She slowly opened her stiff eyes, but at first she couldn't make clear of her surroundings, she tried to move her limbs, but felt something heavy holding her down, she raised her hand and saw heavy chains around her wrists. Rhea struggled to free herself from the heavy chains that bound her wrists and ankles, but they only tightened their grip, pulling her down.

Fear and confusion swirled within her, but she forced herself to focus on her surroundings. The walls of the prison were made of cold stone, rough to the touch. There were no windows nor a door, no means of escape. It seemed as if she had been thrown into a deep hole in the ground, isolated from the rest of the world.
