You look around. A shackle connects you to the moist stone wall. It's coated with something that looks like rust, but you doubt that's what it is. The cell is small, and the door consists of thick iron bars. There is movement in the cell across from you.
A thin, spiderlike hand the color of milk gripped the bars, and a face appeared. It was long and this, with large, cloudy blue eyes that fixed on the prisoner in the other cell. It was a man, perhaps thirty, with an emaciated body and unkempt snow-white hair. He tilted his head like a scolded puppy.
"And who is this?" he asked. His voice was scratchy, as if it had not been used in years.

"You know.. I don't really remember anymore. It was.. Ca.. Cade, perhaps." The thin, lanky man has light-brown skin, dark frizzy hair that sticks out in all directions, and large pale green eyes. He smiles vaguely at the other prisoner.
-
The man drew himself forward, eyes wide and seeking. "Is that so? How interesting." His manacled hands opened and closed around the bars, and he smiled.
-
Cade drops the smile, casually backing away from the bars. "And you are?"
-
"Snow," he said. "Why are you here?"
-
"I was a traitor." He closes his eyes. "I betrayed that girl... I said she could trust me.. I wanted to save myself."
-
"A girl? Always an interesting twist in the plot." Snow leaned forward. "Who was she?"
-
"My apprentice. She turned out stronger than I expected, stronger than me.."
-
"A magician, then?" Snow shifted his weight. "My older brother is a magician."
-
Cade opens his eyes curiously. "I never said magician- though I suppose that's your word for it. And how did you end up in prison, Snow?"
-
"Wouldn't you like to know," Snow chuckled. "Many reasons, Cade. Many reasons." His large eyes gleamed.
-
The man's face relaxes into a weary smile, and he chuckles, "Well- it was worth a try."
-
"Killing, stealing, adultery, arsony....." Snow counted on his fingers. "Are you only in for treason?"
-
"Quite a list. I'm here for two reasons. Treason, yes- and murder."
-
"Murder? Who did you kill?"
