I lay bare with my hands risen up bound to my possible live long tomb. There is no light apart from the flickering light that I can see what resides on the outside of my front door's small metal bar window. The floor is unclean, seem to me it hasn't been clean since it's last resident(s) were still living here. I can hear the screams of my neighbor's and the road guards talking, "Hey how much are you will to bet he doesn't last the week?"the first guard said. "I don't know, let's wait and see what's his sentence is first" the second guard said. "Then let's bet on him shall we" the second guard said with delight in his voice.
The flicking light is killed and I hear the guards leave with a shutting gate announcing their fully departure, "I'm tired, I'm so tired" I whisper before the darkness of nothingness takes hold of me.
"Wake up filth" I hear as I'm shortly blinded by a warm light, "I said wake up" the person said while giving me a good kick at my stomach that didn't agree with his foot. I regain my sight to see the person is just one of the guard who have come to collect me for judgment, "On your feet soon to be punished" he shouted at me and with that I clamber up onto my feet as the guard demanded. I'm escorted by four guards with one walking at each side of me as we walked down the corridor, we pass through a thine iron gate that was garrisoned by another two guards wearing their sliver bronze breastplate, red plum sliver helmet and royal blue cloak. Apart from that the only things left to the wear of the guards were their sandals, xiphos (sword), dory (spear) that my protectors liked poking me with if I wasn't walking to to their taste and finally their golden hoplon (shield) with the symbol of their leader(s) designed into the front of it.
