Eir's pov
I stared over at the door, laying on my back with a pout. How was I ever going to get out of here. That stupid cuff wasn't budging and it only shifted to match whatever animal I transformed into. Stupid magic items. I kicked my chained leg which made a rattling sound but didn't budge. It feels like the only way I'm getting out of here would be to chew my own leg off. My eyes widened. Wait. That might actually work. I sat up and pulled my leg up to examine it. I mean its not like I can use this foot anyway, Aries broke it after all. I summoned a knife with my magic and shoved it under the chain. If I wanted it to work then I need to make it discreet. The knife sunk into the skin of my leg. I bit my tongue to keep any noises from escaping my mouth and alerting that shadow creature that Aries kept leaving to guard me. I pulled the knife back and looked. I could see trails of blood flowing out the bottom of the cuff but the actual damage was unnoticeable. I could hide the blood with a blanket. This would work. I shoved the knife back into my ankle. I don't think I hit the same spot but it wouldn't really matter if the process wasn't neat right. I kept shoving the knife down repeatedly but I don't think I was getting very deep, just scraping at my skin. The angle that my knife was in would never get the job done. Before I could think of another plan, the door opened. I flung the covers over my leg and resumed my previous position of staring at the door. However I kept pushing at the cuff with my good foot. It made the pain worse but I kept biting my tongue to keep quiet. Aries walked over, sitting down on the cushioned platform she'd chained me to, a tray in her hands.
"Here. I brought you some lunch. I'm sure you'll be hungry" she placed the tray in front of me. I stared at the tray but didn't move to eat anything. Instead I turned my head to look at the wall.
"Eir. You need to eat something"
"Not hungry" I hissed out. through my teeth. She stared down at me.
"Are you hurting?" she asked, reaching a hand out to me. I hit it away.
"Of course I'm hurting. You broke my ankle" I cried out, tears welling up in my eyes. I reached up to my eyes and rubbed them ferociously.
"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think it was for your own good" she still kept a neutral expression. I twisted around so that I was leaning on my hands now, legs still hidden under the blanket.
"How is locking me up in a dark room for my own good" I hit the platform with one hand in a fist. Her eyebrows fell down towards her nose.
"You are acting like a child" she snapped.
"You put me here. I'm the god of peace, how am I supposed to do my job locked up in here" I gripped onto the cushion below me.
"Stop throwing a tantrum" I turned away, tears building in my eyes again. I sniffed.
"I can't do my job here. Its the one thing I'm good at and I can't even do it now" my voice shook but I couldn't stop it anymore.
"You're good at a lot of things" I didn't look at her.
"Not like I am at my job. Its the one thing I can say I do well without screwing it up and now I'm stuck here. No one here needs my help" I flop down onto my side, curling my hands around my stomach. Aries stayed where she was for a bit longer then I heard her get up.
"I have important business to attend to, make sure you eat your food before I come back later" I didn't respond. She walked away, closing the door behind her and returning the room to black. I wiped at my eyes again. Then I sat up and looked down at my ankle. I finally stopped kicking the cuff. I'd have to do something else. Biting seemed the most logical and I could still do transformations so it could work. I changed into a creature with really sharp teeth and turned my body so that I could sink them into my ankle. It hurt a lot but a benefit of chewing my own leg of was that I couldn't scream if my mouth was already occupied. If I could get out of here myself then maybe I can prove that I can actually be competent at what I do instead of just getting distracted all the time. I could taste my own blood while I chewed. It wasn't pleasant but I had no other choice. I had to get out and if this was the only way then so be it.
