"You've used the last ounce of power you had to send a messenger to your friends, rather than teleporting out of here yourself."<br/><br/>with a few nonchalant gestures, she closes the heavy shudders on all of the barred windows, and causes most of the torches illuminating the dungeon to flicker out, making the room 's lighting suddenly dark and flickery.  "I don't know if you expected to spare your friends from our pursuit, or had some other foolish plan."  As she walks forward, she seems to shimmer slightly.  The flickering shadows take on a life of their own, slithering over Crystal's body.  "But you have no more power left...  And I have permission to do with you as I please."<br/><br/>The shadows solidify into slithering tentacles that wrap themselves tightly around Crystal's wrists and ankles, pulling her to a standing spread-eagle position.  "If you keep an open mind, I will make this<span style="font-style: italic">most</span>enjoyable."  She moves in close to whisper in the dragoness' ear, "And if you cooperate, I will do all in my power to protect your friends."
