Mind If I Cut In

I was chained up, I had a gag in my mouth and a blindfold on.  This is what they call "overkill" when it comes to dealing with a magic user.  I mean it was smart as all get out, but honestly one or two of these things would have been enough (for me to escape, err I mean be totally stopped). I struggled against my restraints for what felt like at most a couple minutes (I give up in the face of insurmountable odds, its the smart thing to do).  I tried to get a feel for where I was, the floor was dirt, I had to be chained to something strong, most likely stone, and it smelled awful.  So I could have been well just about anywhere, I'm a master of deduction folks.

"The great Trezlan Lorentino, you know you don't really live up your reputation." I muffled my reply, I was gagged the best I could get out was "MRWHRWHRHHWH!" Which was quite insulting.

"Sorry about the accomodations, but I've seen the aftermath of what happens when people underestimate you." There was silence, he was apparently waiting for a witty retort, I decided not to humor him.  "A shame I don't get to hear that sparkling wit you're so known for, don't blame you friend Malcyr, he did try valiantly to kill me, sadly as an assassin he seems to be pretty weak minded, very easy to control.  Now you, you're a different matter.  Ordinarily I wouldn't even be talking to you, I'd have just broken you to my will took what I wanted from you and then cast you aside like a broken husk.  But I couldn't! It was very odd, I tried, gods know I tried, but even with you passed out I wasn't able to get through your thick stupid skull." That was actually kind of refreshing to know that I'm difficult to break mentally.  I can only assume its because I'm so messed up trying to get a look inside my mind is like trying to find something at the bottom of a really muddy river.

"I won't give up though, you have to see that, your friends are of no concern to me, you have something I want, I desperately want it, and you're going to give it to me, whether you want to or not." I could almost see a smile, that was the kind of thing that went with a creepy sentence like that.  "Don't worry though, when I'm done you'll be a drooling idiot, well the idiot part you already are, but I'm sure the drooling will be new." I heard a laugh and then a large metal door closing behind him.   Needless to say my weekend plans were totally ruined.
