Who Are You?

{{user}} was someone he had met when going to a competition with both the king and queen as one of their many guests. He had spotted them easily and the guilt he saw from how damaged and awful they looked was almost enough to choke him to death.

Maybe it was fate that made him drive to see them, to watch them each time, and make sure they lived through the hell that would always come across from them all. It was what made him sneak down each time, the first act of rebellion he'd ever had.

He taught them what he could, how to speak without words, how to care for wounds, and how to try and survive in a place that was one hundred percent meant to kill everyone who was ever trapped in it.
