So That Was a Bad Plan

"So this is my life now." Rolando always knew this would be his fate. His father had mentioned many a time of sitting in cells, sometimes for years at a time. And now Rolando was doing the same thing. It was sad to end up doing the things Trezlan did, almost like the universe hated him in a really specific way. The cell was not very well maintained, it was at one point some kind of live stock pen with metal bars on it, Rolando didn't want to know what it normal use was for the cult, seeing as he saw blood smeared on the wall, he figured nothing good.

"You know I'd never been arrested prior to working with you, now I've been in two cells so far, not liking the change in leadership." Kyriac was chained to the wall, Rolando was at least free to move around with his shackles on.

"Well this was your plan Kyriac, my plan was just call in an orbital bombardment." Not that there were any ships in the area, nor would they probably have provided the bombardment, but still Rolando liked the idea of destroying the entire complex and calling it a day.

"If you hadn't screwed it up..."

"It was a dumb plan!"

"You're an ass..."

"Gentleman." It was Devis the magical they had been sent to capture, he was dressed only in what appeared to be dirty white pants, his hairless torso which was decidedly average to Rolando seemed in contrast to his elaborate hair style which defied description.

"Devis by the authority of Imperial Government..." Rolando tried to do his job, well tried as much as one person shackled in a cell can do.

"Right right you're here to arrest me on charges stemming from your governments backwards view system. Yes yes I'm well aware, what I'm wondering is why a being of power like yourself is shackled to a false view point. Brother why are you shackling yourself to false beliefs?" Devis ignited his hand and extended it as if to shake Rolando's hand. "Embrace the fire brother it will not burn you."

"Yeah no, sorry not into weird burning cults." Devis look soured.

"Well if you will not join us you will burn for us, you and your little mishappen child."

"Hey that's insulting." Devis left, and Rolando looked to Kyriac.

"So you don't know a way out of shackles do you?"

"Use a key."

"Ever helpful Kyriac, ever helpful."
