It was a city and a absolutely Huge one at that , there were buildings most of which resembled upside down bowls and the buildings of status had some additional upward bowls. There were all sorts of bird creatures from chickens to cassowaries and ... we were surrounded?

Yes that's right we were surrounded ,monster-birds that looked like secretary hawks were clad in blue and black uniforms looking very similar to the officer uniforms i saw back in my home town.

"Dont move Vermin"

Well i didn't think that all monsters were bad a i think Gabla and the chief were the proof , so let me answer respectfully and courteously .Who knew what the future held for all i knew this could be my greatest ally to come.

"Yes MA'AM!" I said while bowing

"YES SIR!, do you think your funny?" He said with a disgusted look on her beak I'll have you know I'm a Feather Squire , and that means I'm a warden. A warden who knows what you are dungeon raider , your a monster who's sole existence is to devour the essence of the innocent .Your going to the deepest depths of prison."

That was a guy? Under the decorated uniform was what looked like a very coy and slim appearance along with pink and blue feathers and a sizeable waist... Has this dungeon started to mess with my mind ?Also what did he mean by i was some type of monster? Stereotype much? , he just met me"

" I'm sorry if i offended you bu-"

"Shut up take him and his companions away... that's a big ass lizard, what the fuck is that thing."

Why did everyone call him a lizard? Not that it wasn't true but still anyone could clearly see that he was a dragon... did they not know? If that's the case how did gala know way back then. If I'm going to prison by the looks of it..., that is if i don't intend to break out here . If i did i would have to pretty much kill all the guards and then what continue killing? I wasn't that hardcore or that much of a savage.

"Did you enslave a Goblin as well you're a god damn savage, i know exactly where to put you"

"I'm not enslaved i did this of my own accord " Gabla said in my defense

"Your not enslaved huh? Then what's that slave crest on your hand?"

"Well... i am enslaved but i did it on purpose!" Gabla refuted but she didn't sound very convincing

"you poor thing did he mess with your mind as well in one of his experiments? Since you're so fond of your master you can join him in jail"

"What but you cant-"

"Enough Take them away boys"

One of the guards smacked me on the head and trying to knock me out but i was a bit tougher since my rank up to D rank. I Was at 99% honestly i don't know how to feel about everything that is happening. Looking at the town of people i could see where they where coming from. I saw peop-...monsters young and old , some running shops others stopping and staring to look at the commotion, others looking from inside the window of their homes, This was a real city.

"You don't have the be violent i'll walk with you"

"You know what's good for you, move your ass along" He said while kicking me in the back making me stumble a little, not appreciated at all.

Walking through the city i was like a animal on display monsters where whispering and some even threw things at me.

Mhhh

Eventually we got to something that looked liked a dome. Is this where they held their prisoners?

"Don't you know we're going down" the warden said

We entered into the building only the find some guards inside holding their spears up in uniform meaning. Upon seeing the warden the guards both gave a resounding "SIR!"

"Im back and this time with prisoners, the worst kind."

Handing me over to the bigger guard "take his things, he goes to the lowest floor and put him in the same cell as the tainted. The Lizard and Goblin .. uhhh take the goblin into questioning and put a muzzle on that thing."

So they're taking them into questioning and not a cell... that's good. I need to tell Zhil not to not to blow his cover .This was floor 5 but i think we could break out of here, i just wanted to do more research .Research on who these monsters really where and what really was going on.

Mentally communicating with Zhil i said " I know this hurts but let them think that you are a big lizard. Please i know its hard but i think you're going to be essential when we want to leave this place and if they know your full power they might take more strict measures. Tell Gabla this as well, tell her to play victim."

"Understood, i follow the words of the master. By the way you're at 99% essence do you not want to just exterminate them? What is your reasoning "

Good point why was i holding back? but that what i was trying to find out

"Well , to be honest I'm conflicted ever since i've come to this dungeon i never realized that monsters where sentient .Since meeting Gabla, you and other creatures i really began to wonder am i really a decent person like i think of myself"

"More of this morality? I am a young spirit but all dragons share some form of collective consciousness and ill just tell you , you aren't But if you need to figure that out yourself then by all means master your wish is my command"

I liked how blunt Zhil was at least he was honest

"Thank you for your input but i really want to think on it"

"Roger , but they are still monsters and therefore killers if i get cornered , permission to kill"

"Yes but try your best not to"

"Come with me scumbag" The guard said while yanking me away from my friends.

"Actually on a better thought i'll escort him myself! i have heard tales about how clever these things are"

Taking one last look at the peo-Monsteres i cared for , i made way with the Warden. Opening a door we walked down a stairwell, then another stair well, then another, then another , so many that i lost track. I still wasn't handcuffed weren't they going to do that ?Finally we reached what looked like a different environment there were prison cells stacked on stop of each other making it look like a stackable zoo .In those prison cells were as you may have though prisoners, all of the mean and nasty variety

"This is where you belong " the guard said to me while summoning hand cuffs not only for my arms but neck as well. I guess his ability is to summon magic handcuffs? kinky. Giving me another encouraging kick he yelled "Get fucking walking " to which i promptly followed. Looking around i observed the prisoners and what they were doing. It seemed to be a mix of reading , sleeping or exercises .I didn't get to talk with them much but i got the feeling that they weren't that different from us humans. What was i even imagining anyway?

A more feminine looking attendant appeared out from in front of where we were headed .If i learned anything about this floor is that was probably a guy.

"Sir! lieutenant reporting for duty where shall i take this one?"

" Your coming with me Ms.Lieutenant we're taking this one over to the tainted, he deserves whatever happens, not like it matters much though hes going to get the axe we don't have time to house humans"

"Yes sir"

Grabbing me by my shoulder, the lieutenant started to drag me by it "Lets go you deserve nothing"

mhhh i let him/her whatever at this point take me but something that I'm noticing was that the hate of humans was practically universal .Why i had no idea a few reasons popped into my mind either A, they instinctively knew to hate humans. B , some humans most likely the other rankers did something here and they now hated us for it, or C they have a long lasting culture of hate towards us. B was a little bit of a stretch though i doubt if a S ranker made it here that a single soul would be alive.

Screeeeeech screeeeeeeeeeech i heard a sound emanating through the halls .It sounded horrible like someone was scraping class across the walls.

"Welcome to your new home Here " He said this while opening the door of a very dank and dusty looking cell that didn't look like the rest of them. This cell had no bars but a plain metal door with a slider i suppose to talk to the inmate? Worst part about it is this was where the noise was coming from. When he opened the door the warden said "Hey crazy bitch we have a new inmate for you, just like you he's gonna get executed with you maybe you can bond. HAHAHAHAHA"

Throwing me in i hit the wall with a solid thump

SLAM the door closed behind me

I was slightly disoriented but it wasn't that bad. I could barely see anything ... anything except two glowing yellows eyes staring at me intently .Dont tell me! Did they throw me in the cell with a wild animal?!... wait no they said the tainted one please tell me this creature could at least talk and wouldn't just attack me on sight.

"Hey crazy bitch we have a new inmate for you"
