Alex was all alone in his prison, the guards having long since left to help in the battle.
Judging by the sounds and screams, the battle came in waves, with people clashing for a while before returning to their own place to prepare for the next onslaught.
Alex could only stay where he was and wonder what was going on. He had no way of knowing anything. With even the guards having left him, all he could do was guess what was happening.
For the first few days, Alex imagined that this battle was going to be over soon, and the guards were going to return soon enough. But as time went on, he began to wonder if the guards were never going to return here at all.
In that case, could he escape this place without anyone knowing about it?
