When I woke, I found myself in a wooden cage that was bell shaped. I hung high above a wood floor of rings, and I'd somehow been caged in a very large hollowed-out tree. All around me were cages that matched my own, some empty but many with silhouettes moving about in them. The room itself was dimly lit by torches that ringed the walls, and at the other end of it was a large font of blue fire. The place was majestic and sort of pretty, and I had to remind myself that I was in a game still, not going crazy.

"Winter?" I called as I placed my face against the wooden bars. "Winter, you here? It's Ragdoll."

"Doll?" a voice said. I scrambled around to try to see the cage above me. A hand was sticking out of the bars and waved at me. "Jesus, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Been trying to get you out of here… you can see how well we've done. You all right?"

"Sure, if you call being trapped by some crazy person all right. You should have stayed away." The cage shifted, and his hand disappeared. I assumed he was standing up.

"You're with my best friend. Like I could do that. What's been going on here? Notice anything useful?"

"Not really, no. I can't log out and can't access my inventory. It's like we're not here but we are. Sammy has been in and out of here, usually bringing someone else with her."

"Sammy?"

"Yeah, the witch woman. She let slip her name when she was talking to herself about her sister. Even if she wasn't doing this, I'd still call her a bit nuts."

I sighed, turned around, and placed my back against the bars. "That would have been useful information on the outside."

He chuckled. "Yeah, guess so. So you don't have a plan? I was hoping you being here would be the end of this."

"There is something in the works, but it's up to Crow now. We have to wait and see." I looked around and wondered if I could break the bars. The cage was about thirty feet up from the floor, but there were steps sticking out of the side of the tree. That could be a way to get down. I kicked at the bars, and they didn't even flex. "You know what's up with those blue flames down there?"

"Nope, been burning since I got here. Every time Sammy has come in here, she stops and tosses something from her book into the flames." He paused. Then he asked in a quiet voice, "How's Crow doing?"

"How do you think? She's freaking out over you."

"She should be," Sammy said. She was right out in front of my cage, floating on a platform of blue flames. "Had you just given me the book, you all could be home right now. Instead, you wanted to play games."

"We are, after all, in a game. Guess you gotta pull the plug now, huh?"

She walked around the cage, the flame spreading out in front of her.
