While Daniel was trying to figure out a solution for his map issue, somewhere far away, deep inside a cave, eight people were trapped inside a large cage.
All of their faces were filled with fear, terror, regret, and a kind of suffering that couldn't be put into words.
But none of them dared to speak. Three of them had already been killed by the Lizardmen just for talking, after angering that monster.
In one corner of the cage, a beautiful girl with white hair was leaning against the bars. Unlike the others, there was no fear in her expression. Instead, she was trying to calm down the girl next to her, who was shaking with fear.
"Tianna, there's no need to be scared. I'm sure the Academy will rescue us," Alice whispered softly into her friend's ear.
Her friend was a beautiful girl with long brown hair and hazel eyes. Her skin was tan, and she was relatively short.
