|| W perfect timing

**Knox von Feuerborn**
**Sea of Swords, Kazumaki**
**The Kahlo-Kazumaki Border**

**The two arrive on the back of Rozgdruit to an otherwise unsuspecting cut of sea. The waters are dense, it's difficult to see more than a few meters deep.**
Ramiro
How... Convenient. Lead the way then. **He gives Qaysar an unamused look.**
William
|| **Reads patiently** Tell me if you need me uvu for now Ill contemplate Knox 🥰

**He nods, as he takes him to a nearby cave**
Dragons don't fit in here. We'll have to walk the rest of the way.
**They spend an hour walking through the cave, going deeper down, to the point where they felt the pressure in their ears**
Ramiro
**He seems rather bored. The torch he's using to illuminate the way is close to burning out at this point. Loudly.** We're almost out of fuel. If this is a death trap just make it quick. I've been in too many of these.
Amanda
|| uwu knox contemplation
William
**He looks at Knox and the torch, confused for a moment**
Oh, silly me. Forgot to ignite the torches, I'll do that when we're heading back, we're almost there anyways, just a couple of minutes.
Luis
***They finally arrive, the place was gigantic, with walls at least 50 meters tall, floors upon floors with a bunch of doors, with bars in them, and locks on them. The placed reeked of the smell of blood. There was a staircase in the dead centre, that seemed to only go up forever. The excessive doors were right by railings, there was an empty hole in the centre of the "Building" That seemed to be endless. ***

***They could hear the screams of prisoners. A guard walked by, carrying a prisoner and their (tw: graphic) || now amputated left leg, with a pool of blood surrounding the prisoners lower body||. Near one of the corners there was another staircase, one that went further down than they already had been, it was hard to tell what was there from their current position.***

***It was clear now, this place, was given less credit by the legends about it...***
William
**He doesn't look at Knox**
This way.
**He leads him down the stairs in the corner, there were more cells, but ones with no beds or anything given to the prisoner, they, were solitary confinement cells**
Ramiro
**He's unphased by the sights nor the screams... It's difficult to tell if he's deaf to it, heartless, or simply too far mad... Or a mix of the three. Instead, he seems to be admiring the architecture, mentally jotting down locations.**

The blocks here are a cruel existence. And rather inefficient if you ask me. Kahlo needs more execution grounds, the prisons can be forgotten about.
William
**He looks at Knox**
Inefficient? This is the most secure prison in the realm, the most effective one as well. Every single design aspect is intentional.
Ramiro
**Harshly.** The best place to keep your enemies is six feet underground. That's something you learn with experience. Of course, that's something you still lack.

**He continues walking.**
William
**With a grin of salt in his tone.** Some enemies have valuable information. Take the witch I'm about to show you for example, if I had killed her earlier, it would've meant never getting Raven's curse off her. 
**He stops**
We're here. That cell, over there. 
**He points forward at a door, there was no cells surrounding that one, nothing but at least 6 feet worth of rock surrounding it**
Need to get her to remove Raven's curse.
Ramiro
**He crosses his arm as he looks at the rock.** What task am I expected of then?
William
I need your help to... Get her to "Listen" And remove the curse, none of the professional uh, "Extractors" We'll say, have been able to break her into listening...
Ramiro
**He rolls up his sleeves as if this were just an unpleasant wade in a pile of mud.** The name is confess and the procedure is torture.

**With a mocking smirk.** I'm surprised you can't do it yourself.
William
**He grins a bit.** The day one of these prisoners is "Interrogated" By me is the day they know that they won't live to the next night... Oftentimes it means they'll be returned to a kingdom where they get executed... And if not... My "Methods" In general tend to... Cause them to (self harm: ) || kill themselves|| that same night...
**He pauses, sighing slightly**
I can't risk that when its Raven I'm doing this for.
Ramiro
You're replacing a dart with a cannon by asking me then. **He examines the assortment of torture tools, seeming impressed by all the equipment, and picks a delicate sawblade in the shape of a bow.**
Luis
|| AY HE WAS IMPRESSED BY THE EQUIPMENT
William
**He slightly nods**
Guards! Bring Prisoner 201 to the extraction chamber!
Amanda
|| impressing knox with torture tools. How crude 😭
Luis
|| if knox is impressed by them it shows how horrible this prison is for the inmates-
Amanda
|| oh—I thought you were continuing
Luis
|| i can give a description of how the witch looked like ig
Amanda
|| ight. I'm writing the scenery rn

**The prisoner is dragged by her arms to the musty room and tied with chains to a chair with its legs drilled into the floor. The guards flanking her step to the sides of the room.**
Luis
***They saw an old lady being dragged out, she looked at qaysar through the edge of her eyes, with an expression of fear, she did not know who knox was, but qaysar... The prisoner's didn't know his name... But they had a name to call him by, "The headsman." While he certainly didn't kill the prisoners, his torture killed any hope they had inside, almost every prisoner who had been interrogated by him wound up dead, even if it wasn't by his own hands. The old witch looked fragile, weak, she only had 4 toes on each foot... One of her arms were burnt to a crisp, yet still functional. She looked like she was at least a century old, when in reality, she's only half of that.***
William
**He looks at the witch, seeing the fear in her eyes**
Don't worry old lady, I'm not the one extracting information from you, at least not today. 
**He whispers to Knox:** Get her to remove the curse that she placed on Raven all those decades ago.
Luis
|| after theyre done with the witch is when theyre gonna find the dead guard that lue killed
Amanda
|| OH, SO WE GET MAD AT DECKARD FOR TORTURING AN OLD LADY

|| BUT NOOOO QAYSAR CAN DO IT
Luis
|| SHES A WITCH WHO ACTUALLY DID EVIL

|| AND HAS A DEATH SENTENCE ON HER
Amanda
|| QAYSAR'S MOM HAD A DEATH SENTENCE ON HER 💀
Luis
|| SHE DIDNT KILL HUNDREDS AND CURSE HUNDREDS DID SHE?
Ramiro
**He holds the sawblade just a hair from Qaysar's eye.** I don't work for you, nor Raven. I fight for Coral. Do I make myself clear?
William
**He laughs**
I never said you did. What? Do you want to be paid for this? Is that what this is about? Just tell me the words and you'll get paid.
