Summary:

A prisoner who has been stuck in The Prison for decades has found the one to release them.

Notes:

Hey, this is my first story I have ever posted and written in this fandom. I love this series so much, from the characters and books to the author herself. I always wondered what other beings, creatures, or people they kept in The Prison and what they were like so here’s a little short about one I thought about. Also, I just happened to find the perfect song today to write this story which will be linked! The world and the location are all from Sarah J. Mass’s series A Court of Thrones and Roses, but the characters are all my own. I ask that none of you take this story and post it on another platform without tagging me or giving credit. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this short story!!!

Work Text:


As he walked into the Prison, he felt a shiver go up his spine. The void was calling to him, pulling him under as an orchestra of voices echoed off the walls, sending goosebumps over his skin. One voice in particular, an angelic voice of pure ecstasy, summoned him down the path. His head flooded with the tune, the music, the voices. His body was a puppet, being pulled past doors, cells, walls of agony, all the way down, down, down into the depth of the Prison. The further he descended, the louder the voices screamed into his ears, his being. He felt the trickle of blood as it slipped out of his ears and from his nose. The taste of copper stung his tongue, but he didn’t spit it out. He couldn’t. He was hypnotized, a slave to the voices. His body paused in front of a black door, smeared with the markings of another world. His arm raised against his will, as if it was pulled to the door. Upon being pushed open, the voices burst out, racing back up the void he came from. And inside the room, was a women. She was breathless in her beauty, her hair floating around her head like a halo, her eyes reflecting her power. Her voice, moving, spelling his destruction. His entire being gravitated towards her, drawn in by her beauty. Her siren call wrapped around him, smothering him. It drew his hand to the chains wrapped around her, restricting her arms and legs, keeping her bound in this room. As the chains slid free, a wicked grin spread across her porcelain face as the voices crescendoed. Standing upon pail legs, she took his throat between her hand and squeezed.

“You have freed me, my dear. And now, I shall free you,” she whispered. His last breathe was ripped out of him, the voice of death pulling him into darkness.
