[color=8493ca]Damien was dragged through the darkness for what felt like forever and ended in an instant. His stomach lurched from the rush. His head felt dizzy and heavy. 

He had stopped moving. A dim light that came from an unknown source lit a familiar circle around him that revealed just enough to see the floor he was sitting on and the edges of the boundary. Everything was...vines? Was this a sick joke? The vines were too thick and too far away in the dark to see through.

Damien turned his head to the side. The vines encircled the whole area. As he moved, a metallic sound startled him. Damien looked down at his body to find that he was draped in heavy chains made of vines. How were they heavy and metallic if they were vines? Hell if he knew.

As he tried to shrug off the thick chains, he found that he could barely move. The vines were tight and together were too heavy to lift. Before Damien could think much about an escape plan, a flicker of movement caught his eye---the end of a black lion's tail moved along the edge of the circle of dim gray light.[/color]

[color=8493ca]Damien stilled. A chill ran down his back. Blood rushed in his ears as his heart threatened to break through his ribs. Damien squeezed his eyes shut and turned away the best he could beneath the restraint.[/color]

[color=000000][b]"Have you forgotten that I [i]own[/i] you, Damien? Your [i]life[/i] is mine."[/b][/color]

[color=8493ca]The tail appeared again, closer this time but still with the body it was attached to out of sight. The creature seemed to be strolling toward Damien.[/color]

Silas and Vicis are outside of the closed-off area where Damien is. They can see a bit through the vines, but they are too far to reach him. The vine barrier is about 6 feet thick.
