the wished-for execution

~

Skyler awoke with a dried pool of blood around her head, cold stones creating a horrible headache. Where in the name of the Norns was she?

When she wanted to lift her hands to her head, Skyler discovered that her wrist were put in chains. She let out a startled yelp when the shackles shook behind her.

Her eyes finally used to the dark, she saw that she was in a dark, cold cellar. Possibly a dungeon. There was nothing on the walls and nothing to give her light, only the small trail the space between the floor and the door left for her.

Luckily, Skyler could free herself with a simple spell, or so she thought. After trying several spells and jinxes to escape the shackles and finding out where the fuck she had ended up now, she was still bound and the cuffs around her wrists were still locked.

"They get smarter with each time," she grumbled under her breath, adjusting the chains as much as possible. The cold started to reach into her bones, and Skyler was absolutely sure that her lips were a purple-like blue by now.

She had to warm herself... she was too weak to perform a powerful spell at the moment. That was why none of the jinxes worked. How come she only thought of that now? Somehow, that little thought seemed to turn her brains on again, and with new-found strength, Skyler used all the unlocking spells she knew.

She found herself free within minutes, creating a fire with green flames in her palms. It gave some warmth, but her body was still trembling with the cold. At least the flame gave her light.

Skyler looked around, here and there finding things that surprised her: old wooden bowls that might've held water or food; more chains; a door to an even deeper part of the house she was held in. Looking back to the flame in her head, Skyler knew what to do with the bowl on the other side of the room and didn't hesitate to create more heat. With the small fire now burning bright, she could feel her body warm up. Wherever she was, her captors would be visitors of Valhalla soon.
