I breathed in, filling my lungs with air. My breath shaking as I breathed out again. It felt like I hadn't been able to breathe properly for… I didn't know how long.

There was a deep thundering inside me. The shackles that had me bound were no longer there. I could reach and feel my powers that now longed to be released. I did not dare touch them. I looked around. I was still in my cell. Dark stone surrounded me as it has the last many years, but I knew what had happened and that I was no longer bound to this place. Whatever spell that had bound me was not there anymore.

I was free.

I just needed to find a way to get out of this mountain.
