The Real Torture Happened Out of Sight

The soldiers frightened Jon immediately.

Towering white armor.

Weapons that looked ceremonial and brutal at the same time.

The kind of presence that makes your body tense before your mind understands why.

But the deeper Jon’s visions went into Dragon World—

the more he realized the soldiers weren’t the worst part.

There were others.

Figures dressed in dark robes that moved differently from everyone else.

Calm.

Patient.

Watching.

The soldiers brought violence.

The robed figures brought suffering.

Jon overheard whispers about them during the flashes between worlds.

Pain Wizards.

Not executioners.

Not battlefield fighters.

Something worse.

People whose entire purpose revolved around extracting pain from others.

Not just physically.

Emotionally.

Mentally.

Spiritually.

And somehow that disturbed Jon far more than the monsters.

Because monsters at least behave like monsters.

But cruelty disguised as order—

that felt human.

Dragon World was no longer beginning to feel like an adventure.

It was beginning to feel real.

And real worlds always contain darkness.
