Lucius was in a deep sleep. No dreams, just peaceful, undisturbed sleep. He was tucked up nicely in his soft bed. It reminded him of when he had parents. When there was someone to say night to him before he drifted off. Lucius hadn't felt that security and comfort for ages. But now, he was still and silent, breathing softly into his pillow, his body resting from a long day. There really wasn't a better feeling that that. Until it was interrupted.

There was a bang on the door, and Lucius awoke with a start. "Get up and come with us to the diner.". Lucius felt groggy. He rubbed his eyes and got out of bed, being careful not to knock over his water glass. He got changed out of his pajamas and into some decent clothes, took a sip of water, then found his glasses and put them on. Instantly his vision was much clearer. He had had these glasses for a few years.

Lucius opened the door and went gladly with the guards. They walked past more doors, and Lucius heard more people getting out of bed, moaning and dropping things on the floor. And at last, they reached the giant hall that was the diner.
