"Are you all right?" The voice came from a young man carrying a paper bag of groceries. He looked concerned as he noticed the trembling. "Need a hand?"

"I think I'll be fine after a bit of rest," Ion assured the man, not wanting to cause needless worry. "But I'd be grateful if you could tell me what this place is."

"It's called Vatheon, from what I have been told. If you've arrived here unexpectedly, I'm afraid I have to tell you that happens to all of us."

"Is there a way to leave?"

Just a little while ago, he had been sure he would never be able to see his friends again. He'd thought he had been prepared for that. Now that he found himself still alive, however, he was anxious to return to them.

"No, not that anyone has found. We're trapped here, for better or worse."

Although now quite worried, Ion managed to appear relatively calm at this news. Luke and the others, he told himself, would be fine, and he had done all he could for them anyway.

"Do you know why we were brought here?"

[threeofthree]

"It seems we were brought here as some sort of power source," Ran admitted. "To keep this place alive. That is why you may feel tired or exhausted right now."

Although Ion privately felt there was likely more to his current state than simply that, he replied "Thank you for the information. My name is Ion. And you are?"

[threeofthree]

"My name is Ran. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ion."
