Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Dungeon

I woke up bound and gagged in a very cold and dark place. I could hear water dripping somewhere far off. The smell of mold and dirt filled my nostrils while the wet, cold air penetrated my clothing made me shiver. I pulled at the power I had stored inside me, but it was gone. It felt as if I had been completely drained. I even felt drained of life.

I wiggled in the grime until I was able to free my gag.

"Hello?" My voice echoed off what sounded to be stone walls.

I could be anywhere. For a moment, I thought I was dead, but I think I was too uncomfortable to be dead just yet. After much struggling, I was able to sit.

"Remi?" I whispered. "Angie? Sandriel? Natalia? Anyone? Can anyone hear me?"

"No one can," a familiar voice echoed.

It surprised me at how close it was, maybe only a few feet in front of me. The deep smooth female voice was easy to place. The water dripping in the background grew silent. Even the air around me stopped.

"Karma," I said.
