Chapter 7 by Syloren

Free the figure?

You Might as Well

Maybe the actor can better explain what's going on here once he's free? You take a swing at the chain binding his left leg and it cuts through with shocking ease, a burst of golden dust is emitted from the destroyed chain.

"Just...one more..." The voice says again. You walk over to the other chain and destroy it as well, there's no reason not to at this point. With the second chain broken the figure above sighs, and the chains attached to his arms and the remnants on his legs suddenly disintegrate. As he drops to the floor the room changes, the color of the room seems to be sucked to him and turns to the same broken, weathered stone. The figure himself starts to shine, his body taking on a white marble-like texture. He begins to grow, becoming more detailed as if he were a living statue. His form gains what looks like robes, something that you could see in a picture of ancient Greece or Rome. A massive golden halo forms behind his head as feathered wings sprout from his back. Golden eyes look down to you from a face of chiseled perfection.

"Thank you for releasing me from my imprisonment, dear child. So long have I languished here." He gently touches down to the ground in front of you, allowing you to take in his splendor. "For such a service you should be rewarded."

You back away from the angelic figure, a vague sense of dread in your heart. You're trying to wrap your head around what just happened, the only conclusion you can come to is that this isn't an actor - something strange is happening here. His face seems frozen in a neutral expression as he approaches you.

What is his reward for you?
