Chapter 847: Who am I?
’How long have I been here?’ He wondered.
His head had been ringing with pain upon waking up. It had been dull but constant, without any signs of stopping anyti soon. No matter how hard he tried to think about how he got into his current situation, he was unable to rember a single thing from before he woke up.
Fighting through the ringing pain he had eventually managed to open his eyes. At first he had seen absolutely nothing. His eyes needed ti to adjust to their surroundings. His vision was slightly altered which could only an only one thing. Right now he was in a complete pitch black room.
It took quite a bit of ti before he started being able to make out the silhouettes of the things around him. Still it was a far cry from him being able to see during the day.
’Where exactly am I? How did I get here?’
As the ringing suddenly started to dull, he attempted to move his hands. Unfortunately he quickly realised that they were heavier than they should be. His attempt resulted in the sound of tal scraping across the floor. Moving the other hand and his legs resulted in the sa thing happening.
He was completely chained up.
"Arghhh!" He shouted with a hoarse voice, using his mighty strength to pull against the chains, but to no avail. He could only move each of his extremities up to ten centiters before his freedom got restricted.
’At least that annoying ringing in my head has stopped.’ After having this thought, he suddenly had another shocking realisation.
’My na... What was my na?! Why can’t I rember sothing as simple as my na?!’
Then he started shouting in frustration for whoever put him here to co forward. Unsurprisingly there wasn’t anyone who ca forward. Frustrated he wanted to touch his head, but once again the chains stopped him from doing so.
Once he noticed that he had forgotten his na, he tried to rember other things about him... only to realise that he was drawing more and more blanks. He was unable to recall his na, his age, his outer appearance or anything about his past.
It was as if his life had just begun a few monts ago when he had opened his eyes.
His heart started beating louder and louder as he started to panic, and the walls appeared to start closing in on him from his perspective.
"Arghhhh!" He shouted again, stomping his foot on the floor so hard that part of the ground had risen. "It broke?"
This ti grabbing two hands, he proceeded to tug at the chains as hard as could. He could see that they were attached to a wall further down. However, as long as they were made of the sa material, he believed his almighty strength should be enough to break free from them as well
He pulled and pulled, sweat was dripping down his face, and eventually blood started to drip from around the cuffs of the bracelet the chains were attached to, and eventually he had to stop.
’It’s useless, it feels like those chains will never break!.’
Checking himself, his body appeared to be in fine condition, not counting his self inflicted injuries at least. There were no markings on him whatsoever, and there were no clues as to who he was. He got so comfort from at least wearing clothes, yet they were too simple to give him any information about himself.
The only thing that he found noteworthy was that he had a single earring on his left ear, but no weapons to use to break out of the room.
’Well, whoever trapped in this place can’t be that stupid, but surely I had to have co in sohow?’ He started to think.
Walking towards where the chains were attached to the wall, he brushed his hand against the wall, and could feel slight bumps in the rock, and a certain watery sll.
’The wall is made out of stone?’ Then listening in carefully and placing his head against the wall, he could also hear the sound of what appeared to be running water.
’Am I in a cave of so sort? If there’s running water then that ans there has to be an exit sowhere!’
Still, as he tried to move around, touching the side of the cave walls that he was in, the chains would only allow him to go so far.
Once again,his frustration peaked and he attempted to pull out his hair, sothing that seed to be a habit of his despite him lacking any mories of it. While doing so, he had swung his arms up, and the blood from his wrists around the cuffs, hit his earring. At that mont, it started to light up.
The earring detached itself from his lobe and fell to the ground.
The white light started to take shape until eventually he could see it’s full form.
"A...A..Pig!?"
"Idiot! I’m a bull! Can’t you get this right after all these years?! Haven’t you punished enough by naming Ham because of this misunderstanding?! I clearly have a ring on my nose marking as a bull!" Ham complained as he started to fly around with his bat wings in circles out of frustration.
"You ca from my earring... What- No, who are you? Do I know you? Do you know ?" He asked, clinging on to hope.
"So they really did succeed? I couldn’t see clearly what had happened, only hear voices but there was no ti to help you. Alright, let’s bring you up to speed. Your na is Fex and you’re my.." Ham paused for a second as he recognised that this was a golden opportunity "...and you’re my servant. Yes, I, the mighty Ham, am you master!"
Fex’s face told Ham that he clearly wasn’t buying that.
"I have the power to crush the ground with my bare feet, yet you’re saying I’m the servant of a little pig? Sorry bull, no I ant Ham! I doubt I would be that pathetic." Fex replied in disdain.
"Fine, I was just joking. You’re not my servant, but we’re really close in rank. Like you’re just barely above , so you have to treat with respect, okay?" Ham clarified.
Even though Fex was unable to rember the little bull, he was aware that he might be his only chance of getting out of this place.
"Sure, sure. Say if you know who I am, then you must know soone who could help form the outside, right?" Fex asked.
Ham thought about it for a while and he quickly recalled one particular person who had already risked their life to save Fex in the past. He hadn’t even asked anything in return, so it was likely he would do it again.
"Yeah, Quinn. Quinn will definitely co if I call him!" Ham answered excitedly, his wings started to flap with excitent.
"Well whoever it was, they captured alive, so they must have a use for . Otherwise, they would have just killed . At so point they’ll have to check up on , or at least co to feed ." Fex stated. "All you need to do is wait for the door, window or whatever it will be to open, and then fly out of here as quick as you can. Go call Quinn and lead him back to this place!"
Ham nodded. For once his master was relying on him and he would do whatever he could to help.
The two of them waited patiently to proceed with their plan. They were unable to tell just how long they had waited and how much longer they would have to. Without anything better to do Ham started to fill Fex in about his past self.
Eventually Fex’s hearing allowed him to hear the sound of approaching footsteps sowhere, but in the cave it was hard to locate.
Ham imdiately flew upwards, so he would be outside the newcor’s perception. Soon enough a part of the cave wall moved to the side.
For a mont Fex was happy that their plan proceeded smoothly. That was until he saw that what had co inside didn’t look the least bit like a human. No, it was far too large and it bared its teeth in his direction. Its eyes were that of a monster, and its skin was tight with bulging muscles.
Seeing this thing Fex could only think one thing.
’It’s so ugly with no hair!’
As soon as the creature stepped forward, Ham imdiately used the chance to slip through the gap it had co in from. Luckily the creature mistook the bull for a bat on account of his wings.
Ham continued to fly through the cave, swirling, noticing that it wasn’t a regular cave. There was a whole civilisation living here, with many beasts that looked just like the one that had entered.
Ham didn’t have ti to look at them, he needed to find a way out. Unable to see a way he resorted to following the sound of running water. A few minutes later he shot outwards, finally exiting the cave.
Looking back, he saw that he had actually been behind a waterfall.
’Fex, I will co back for you! Quinn will save you, just like he did before! I know he will!’ Ham thought flying off into the distance, towards the Vampire settlent.
