Excerpt: The Kaspira War Trilogy

The cold and dampness from the stones leaked into my bones, making the injuries i have gotten from my incarsaration radiant in pain everytime i shiver. Imove my head to the side, barely able to move since i have no energy. I don't know how long i have been in here for, a prisoner, and now someone who is about to be exicuted. I can just about make out the large wooden door to my cell, but the rest is in complete darkness.
The place of my soon to be demise is the Capital of Yangely, Jion, and my home of the moment is their palace dungeons. I was caputed during a small mission to the small town of Fudos, which is on the border of Yangely and my Nation, Rerian. The small mission was only to escorte a group of Healers to the town and watch over them. We had recived reports that a few Yangarian troups were in the area, and my small Unit was sent to deal with it.
I went, but it was no small group of troups. There were so many and I knew that I had to make sure those in my charge got back safely. I told them to go one way, not letting them know that i was going to try and lead the troups away from my unit. I was sucessful, to a point. When it came time for me to make my escape and head back to Fudos with the report of more troups than expected, I was captured.
I most likely would have ended up as just another Prisoner of War, but they noticed my eyes, the only sign that I am not like anyone else, my curse you could say. I am a Kaspira, one of only two, and the other is part of Yangely, and is heading part of the war, since she is close to King Antien, the Yangarian Monarch. Kaspira's are special, most of Alfinco considers them special, I am one, and i don't think i'm, just another young man tryng to make his way in the world.
So they saw my eyes, they are purple. I was taken imiatly to the Capital Jion an brought before both the King and Lady Clara, the other Kaspira. I was taken to the dungeons, and tortured over and over again, they wanted to know how many Elemental Guardians I have, I haven't broken yet. Though i think they have given up since i was told a little while ago that my exicution will be in the morning as soon as the sun is up.
The only hope I have is that my Unit, my friends really, made it back saftly. So far I've heard nothing about them being caputered or that they were still on the field when i was. They have been with me since i was a child. I grew up with them all, two are older than me, but not by much.
I move around a little more on the hay that I was thrown on earlier on. I can feel each and every flagstone that I am laying on. I hiss in pain as wounds open again, i can feel the blood seep out of them. I know I am going to die soon, I just hope that my friends stay safe.
I begin to close my eyes, hoping that the exhaustion and pain that i feel at the moment will leave me in peace for just a little while. I heard something comming from above, a loud boom, a scream and some shouting. I soon hear footsteps pounding away on the flagstone outside of my cell, but I don't think I can truly bring myself to care. I let my eyes close.
They flew open as i heard keys jingling in the lock of the door, and the stones which glowed bright, power supressers, became dull as the lock was unlocked and the door opened. My eyes went up but the light from out of the room was too bright for them and they closed.
"Jace, we're here, we've come for you," came the sweet voice of my childhood friend, Wrelen.
"I dare not let Treason see him anytime soon," came the voice of someone who has been with me since i entered this world.
"Jace can you hear me?" Wrelen asked me, her voice full of worry and concern, i think i could also detect some exhaustion in there as well.
"y'ah" i croaked through a dry throat.
"Can ya stand?" Zion asked me.
"No," i answered with a slight wince as I felt one of them touch my arm.
"Zion, we have to get him up and out, the others are waiting for us, lets go." She told him.
I could feel as Zion gently moved around me and picked me up. I scream and then blissfull oblivion.
