Evelline wakes up, very dizzy, she tries to look around, but sees everything blurry, tries to move, but can't, she is chained.
And then she starts to hear a soft voice in her head:
"- Come on Eve! It's time to get up!"
The girl is very dizzy, she looks at a light that was in front of her, and sees a silhouette, someone she knew seemed to be standing there, it seemed to be her grandmother, Evelline tries to call her, but she is awakened with a slap in the face, Vahan Voohes was in front of her.
She then finds herself chained, upside down, in a type of dungeon, there were many candlesticks and candles, and beneath her was a closed shark tank.
- Cute, aren't they? - Vahan says, while playing with a lock of Evelline's hair between her fingers.
- Stop it at once Sarah!
And Voohes gets up, goes to a fireplace next door, and takes a steel tube that was melting there, and then she goes back to Evelline, and she opens her eyes wide.
- No, wait, what are you ...
And Vahan places one point of the steel tube in the wound on Evelline's thigh, pressing hard.
Evelline screams and struggles desperately, the maniac laughs with pleasure when she sees the expression of pain on her face, and then she pulls the tube away.The young woman was crying, the pain was unbearable, her bruised leg was healed almost instantly.
- This is to learn to call me Vahan Voohes.
- You... You...
- You will die here, Evelline. There is no salvation for you, nobody out there knows what's going on inside those four walls.
Master Guist enters the dungeon at that moment:
- Ah, I see you're still having fun, but don't be too long, the ceremony is about to start.
- I'll be there in an instant. - Vahan replied promptly, and then turned back to her:
- I would love to play more with you, my dear friend. But unfortunately, I don't have more time, you know how it is, right? Responsibilities.
She muzzles Evelline, who tries to speak, but nothing comes out, only muffled words.
Vahan goes to a switch by the door and activates it, opening a hatch at the top of the shark tank, then throws an ax at the chain that hung Evelline on the ceiling, and leaves the room, with a smile on face.
The young woman falls into the water and struggles, she sees around, seven white sharks surrounding her, she tries to break free from the currents, but she can't, and she sinks more and more.
Until she completely loses her breath and passes out again.
Suddenly, she finds herself falling over a dark precipice, many voices talking at the same time, saying incomprehensible things.
And then, Evelline falls sitting on a wooden chair, in a gray room, there were thousands of other chairs around the room with people sitting on them, everyone had the same blue eyes as Evelline, only she was sitting in the center of them, and that seemed very scary, everyone was staring at her.
Until a last chair appeared in front of her, and her grandmother Margareth sat on it.
- Now you're ready to become one of us, my granddaughter.
Evelline backed away, afraid.
- Do not be afraid, see, these are your ancestors, look around.
