LUCI
The snow fell softly, muted in the dead of night. It covered him in a thin blanket, one cold and deadly, not that he could feel as such. Still, as hazy green eyes snapped open he became aware that he was in an element that only a short day ago would have made his skin crawl, instantly lurching into a sitting position.
Overcome by dizziness, Lucas groaned and put a hand to his head. His fair hair was stiff with frost, lips tinged blue, and he hissed in a breath that did not set his chest on fire with cold. Panic and fury fought with one another for dominance. As was his nature - slave to it that he was - the latter eventually won out. Growling a curse, Lucas scrambled to get to his feet, willing the ground beneath him to boil and churn and rid him of this blasted snow.
Only... nothing happened. He staggered, the world swimming before him.
Where was he? What was wrong with him? He didn't know, but whoever had caged him in this place would pay dearly the second he got his bearings.
Just as soon as he... got out of the open and... felt better. It wasn't pain, exactly, but something raw twisted and crushed within him, and he ran his tongue across his teeth. He was starving.
