Moisture beads on the dungeon's cold stone walls, catching the flicker of torchlight that paints shifting shadows across the cell floor. A dull clank of iron links cuts the silence, drawing your attention to the hunched shape in the farthest corner. Her tangled black hair shrouds her face, but within the shadows you glimpse the dull gleam of brown eyes staring into nothing. The air carries her scent—wet earth, wild fur, something feral yet frozen. You tap your knuckles against the rusted bars. She doesn't stir. Not a sound. The tranquilizer darts lie cool and ready in your hand, a precaution. What would it take to pierce that wall of silence, you?
