"For the alleged murder of Gornar Brenan, the attempted murder of Asdaroch Vancour, and several counts of theft. I hereby sentence Cathrille Anthi Bancorum, to imprisonment, in, The Cavern." With those words the judge slammed the gavel down, stood up and swept out of the room with a flourish. Cathrille's face completely drained of color as soon as she heard the dreaded words she had dreamed of hearing for several days now.
The Cavern is a cave, used as a dungeon for the most dangerous and vile criminals. The stories say that there are more entrances than the one the guards use to escort murderers, but no criminal has ever escaped. The entrance the guards use is a hoist that lowers hundreds of feet to the cavern floor, making it virtually impossible to escape the dungeon from the main entrance.
Cathrille felt two guards grab her arms and start leading, or more like dragging, her out of the room where her fate had just been sealed. Slowly shaking the numbness from her bones Cathrille tried to force herself to think of a way to escape. But the only thing she could think about was the betrayal that had gotten her into this mess.
