Jade Beacon
In the darkness of her cell, Jade was completely motionless. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was swollen. She had stopped crying long ago, and now she simply gazed in front of her, empty and alone. From time to time she would adjust her seating, sometimes lie down to try to sleep, but that was it. Scratches and scorched spots on the door marked her attempts at escaping, which she had given up long ago. In anger she had torn down most of the fungus surrounding her, leaving her in near total darkness, with only small bits of the fungus all the way at the top of the cell remaining. She had lost any track of time, and she had no clue how lang she'd been here. All she knew is that she had to stay sane. "Do not let the darkness consume you..." With that thought, she fell asleep. Most of the time she was tormented with nightmares, but the few times that she had peaceful rest she dreamed of the world outside. The sun and the night sky, the sweet spring breeze or the harrowing storms of fall. Feeling and living again.
She woke up a bit disgruntled. A set of voices had woken her up. Voices. She jumped up, immediately regretting it because her muscles had grown sore and had been diminished to even less than what they used to be. She grunted in pain, and leaned against the wall of her cell to recover. The voices were still there, and she could see light. Any light at all was blinding to her, and she had trouble to adjust to even the slightest change. "Hello?" She whispered, her voice raucous and timid. Almost stumbling with every step, she exited her cell. She gasped. Finally she was free. Then again, she had no clue what was going on. Had she been left alone?
Still mostly blind, and very confused, Jade carefully stepped forward out of her cell. She blinked a few times trying to see if there was anypony nearby, but she couldn't make out anything. Helpless, she pleaded for help slightly louder. "Hello? Anyone?" She said. Her voice was shivering now, as if she was about to cry. Her muscles felt like they were burning, and she was sure she could collapse any moment. "Please help..." She managed to utter as she slowly dropped back to the ground, sitting against the door of her very own cell. She wasn't sure if she could ever see again at all, and this terrified her. She had to take her time to recover. Perhaps after a few minutes of trying to walk and adjusting to the situation she'd be able to continue, but right now all she wished for was someone to come and rescue her, perhaps even hold her tight... Cry with her.
