I woke up on a cold concrete floor. My head was throbbing. Slowly, I rose to rest my back against the wall, cringing as the movement increased my ache. I started looking around me. From the faint light on the ceiling I could see I was in a small empty room.
Where was I? Where was the man? How long was I here for?
Gaining my strength, I slowly stood up. Every muscle in my body was aching and begging for rest, but I had to know what was going on. I carefully walked to the other side of the room, keeping as quiet as possible.
The room was fully empty, cold and depressing. There was just a metal door.
Was this it? Keeping me prisoner in a tiny room and leaving me to die? Probably not that simple.
"Hello?" I managed to whisper, "Anyone here?" I said, louder this time.
My eyes started watering as fear took over me. I could feel my hands shaking. This wasn't the ideal situation for someone with claustrophobia. Just then the door flung open and a large figure marched in to the room.
From the dim light I couldn't make out the man's facial features but he was quite tall and muscular.
"Right," he said in a low and calm tone, walking towards me. He stopped before me.
I held my breath.
"I want to keep this short. Here's what we're gonna do, I ask the questions, you reply to them. As simple as that. Got it?" he said smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes.
I opened my mouth but no words came out. What was going on?
"Well then..." he continued, "Where is the Light Crystal?"
