Her head still throbbed as she slowly exited the land of sleep and returned to that horrible realm that the living inhabit. Why did the Drakken have to hit so hard. As I came to, I noticed the cuffs on my wrists and feet. The cuffs and chains were made of steel. There was no chance that she could burn it with her flames. This... She accepted this. She was not happy about it but she did cry about it. She knew why she was in chains and she already knew it made the fate she was doomed to live worse. 

Her family had always been close and protective of their own. The family had gotten in the way of the Drakken's coming to take her away. Sophia was out riding a horse when the Drakken came for her. When she returned to the house a one sided fight had already broken out. She did not stand a chance when the Drakken finally found her. She did not resist but surrendered with the promise her family would come to no further harm.

Sophia shifted uncomfortably in her chains and looked out the window of her carriage. The first sight to greet her eyes was the view of Castle of Shadow Worth. It filled her with dread. She thought she understood the Drakken, but a race that makes structures like these... It filled her with fear. For the first time She was afraid. 

The carriage pulled up to the castle and Sophia was escorted out. She moved slowly because of the chains. The Guards did not seem to care. They just pushed her to hasten her up. She was lead into a secluded area and with a laugh the guard told her to undress. She gently shook her head in disapproval. She did not say anything just held up her chains and with her eyes begged the guard to release her so she could comply. Once free, She wasted no time complying. She undressed and neatly folded her cloths. 

The guard presented her with a set of new cloths. Sophia took them an laughed. This outfit showed a lot of skin. Almost too much. It might have metal in it but it would provide no isolation from the cold. She might have to use fire to prevent from freezing in the skimpy outfit. She dressed quickly and quietly. Once dressed, Sophia did a spin for the guard. The drakken guard smiled but still grabbed her and cuffed her again. This time only her wrists were bound behind her back. 

It took only moments before the guard pushed her out into the ballroom for all the Drakken nobles to see. Sophia could only imagine how these beings would view her. Hands bound in chains and barely dressed for the part of a noble's wife. Still, She stayed quiet and held herself proudly as she took her place next to the other brides to be. She tired hard to conceal her ever-growing fear.
