He stiffened like a cornered animal—which was a lot like what was actually happening. His arms were bound behind his back; his mouth covered by a metal clamp. “Citizens of the Seven Isles!” crowed Councilor Kaelith. “We have another addition for the Collection!” The cheers were monstrous. The townsfolk were monstrous. --The Council is full of monsters and they’re turning their citizens into monsters, too--
