Hope dwindled and went out, and she was drowned in darkness. She cried out and laid on the cold stone floor for what seemed an eternity, and heard the foul creature she had pummeled grunting in her general direction, though he was still a bit delerious from the blows she had administered, stronger than she really was.
Now her energy was spent, pride and dignity forgotten as she felt the whip upon her back. She screamed out, not mercy but for hope
U-chebin estel anim! ( i have kept no hope for myself) she screamed, and the orc laughed, and beat her hope faded, jaded, and gone.
