Slowly, Althea and Neliamar, the two princesses from neighboring kingdoms, began to wake up.  They had been unconscious for quite some time, attacked by unknown assailants, and now found themselves here...<br/><br/>As their sight returned and they looked around, they found themselves in a very foreboding place.  Both girls were in what looked like a large jail cell, with solid stone bricks forming the back and side walls, the fourth wall formed by solid metal bars, crossing each other to make the only spaces between them far too small for either girl to slip through.  Another wall of bars divided their cell, separating the two girls.  Three doors - one on either side of the cell and one on the dividing wall - were the only openings.  The girls were lying on the cold stone floor, the cells completely devoid of any furniture.  The walls were sparse, without any windows, and the only light came from a single torch on the wall outside the cell.<br/><br/>As they stirred, the girls would realize they were also bound.  Legs were tied together, and arms shackled in several places behind their backs, with collars chained to opposite walls.  The only clothing they wore over their underwear was a simple brown shirt, the rest of their royal clothing missing.
