The Ravaged Mind

New Beginnings

Melodic plunks echoed through the ever deep caverns ravaged by earth and time, darkness coating them throughout, with only the illuminating rocks to give light... To find their prey.

I knew this place. It was my prison... But now it's my keep, incapable of being disturbed let alone invade.

The dark stone and various odds decorate the cavern walls, accompanied by the gorgeous gems many seek to find, but remain undisturbed by the beings that walk alongside them everyday. Their worldview is that gems and ores are worth hardly of any value. A prehistoric-like community. Yet they are civilized in every fashion.

But here I stay, abandoned, alone, and forever shunned, even by the very things that welcome(d) me here so long ago. I was nothing more than a cattle, and they fed of me everyday, yet I lay unscathed in this wretched hay.

Once upon a time, I was free from this place, only to be  knocked unconscious and locked away in a cell, for I was, and forever will be: the Human.

And even longer ago, I was a man of dignity and pride. But here I stay, subject to sorcery and magic beyond comprehension, even more ravaged by there heinous tricks and illusions. Now, I am, and sadly will forever be just the milk to their cookies: a simpleton by their standards of education, and just a woman.
