@sweetblccd | plotted starter | Sidian & Kora
When was the last time he'd awoken in such pain? Surely it hadn't been since he was a child. That couldn't have been the last time. Sidian didn't groan or shift, stir from the collapsed and curled position his large frame had taken after being beaten and thrown back into the cold cage he was to be kept in. If this wasn't some sort of test it was certainly something cruel and wrathful but Sidian couldn't believe this was all the work of one person. He had many enemies in the world, both by inheritance from his father and his own decisions. There weren't many, though, that could catch the earth witch off guard and that made Sidian suspect the man at the top of his long list of enemies; Matthias. It was probable the older witch was to blame but Sidian didn't remember much from the attack, flashes of images danced in his muddled brain as he tried to gather his thoughts before opening his eyes.
What Sidian did know was that this place was unlike any he'd ever known to exist, there was a mixture of strong magics that worked in sync with one another to bind his powers, strip the witch of his essence and strength. Though he could feel the cold ground beneath him Sidian couldn't reach out past it, feel into the earth and sense the roots of plants he was sure would aid him. An emptiness filled him instead, a weakness stilled the tall man, his body aching, branded and collared, secured for his strength was great if he were to ever break out of these magic bonds. Troubling more than his situation was the fact he really hadn't felt so helpless since childhood threatened to take him back to the time he was powerless against his father. But Sidian gritted his teeth and finally moved, long limbs stretching and pushing against the ground until he was sitting, heavy lids dragged open over tired dark eyes, a bruise touching more than the skin across his left jaw from the guards who had to beat him down before they branded him, the collar not enough to cut off his connection to the magic of earth.
