Chapter one: Rude awakening

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Sigil woke up and was greeted with the cold hardness of a wooden table. By the small pool of droll he figured he'd been out for a while. He attempted to rub his head but found that his hands were chained to the table. The ash grey coated Unicorn tugged on them for a couple seconds then gave up, being imprisoned here left him weak, he believes it's been a few months...or was it years? He honestly didn't know his cell had no windows; they never let him go outside, there was no way to tell time, not to mention the psycho interrogator that uses him as a aggression release every few..... Every once in awhile.

As if on que a black and blue Griffin in unmarked steel armor walked holding a small box. "Speak of the devil." Sigil said to himself. "Gutentag!" She said in a sickly cheery voice. Sigil just sat there looking at the box as she walked on and set it on the table with a bang. "So how have you been Sig?" Sigil looked her in the eyes, and said nothing.

"Oh zon't be so cold Sigy. I told you we'd meet again" "what do you want..." "Oh a lot of zings, a house on ze river, Money, a Husband, but at ze moment I want ze hear you

scream and unlike last time I'm not bound by rules" "Would you mind repeating that? I couldn't hear you over all the bullshit." Sigil said with a cocky smirk. "Hm, cute." She got a spoon from the bag. "And zis time I brought the rest my toys to play with!" "A spoon? What are you going to do, feed me?" she snapped her fingers and a small flame appeared on her thumb which she held under the spoon. "What you zought you ponies were the only ones who can use ze magic?" She walked over to him and ran a claw down the side of his face. "You have pretty eyes...I Zink I'll take zose first." Sigil sat there with an unreadable expression on his face. "What no insults, no jokes, no puns?" "I have jokes for shocking, burning, hell even water boarding....but the gouging of one’s eye is not in my arsenal of snappy come backs....." She snickered at this. "Let's get started shall we Sigil?" She whispered as the glowing hot spoon neared his eye.

"Captain!" A guard shouted from the door "we have a problem." A bit of fear could be heard in his voice. "Agh Fine." The captain said in a disappointed tone. Sigil let out a huge sigh of relief. "Zon't go anywhere Sigy~" The Griffin Captain said seductively. Sigil just raised his chained hands and flipped her the bird.  After waking up for a second time on the hard table and an hour if staring at the walls Sigil's patience began to wear thin. "Where’s that bloody Griffin gone to?" He thought as he sat back into the seat. "Yeaaa bored now."

As he said this another click could be hear from the chains, then a chink, the clattering as they fell to the floor. Griffin's best strength draws attention away from their greatest weakness, oversight. Steel chains, Titanium chaffs, magic proof enchantment, weak iron bolt holding it to the table. Sigil stood near the door, readying himself to take out any guard on the other side. He had attempted to escape in the past unsuccessfully in the past and didn't expect to get anywhere this time but hey, better than waiting here to die. But when he bailed out the room and reached for the guard that he thought was going to be there, he was instead meet with a huge smoking hole in the wall.
