A blinding flash of light, a feeling of flame creeping along your bodies. Reality pulls apart, and you are left falling through a void, nothing visible.
As you fall, you feel a brand emblazoned upon your forehead, pain excruciating.
Suddenly, the sensation of falling stops. You feel as if you are stuck within a terrible syrup, burning your flesh.
A vision of a river of fire comes before you, and you find yourself swept up by it, tumbling amid the flame.
A hand catches you, pulling you out as another flare of light leaves you unconscious.
You wake, individually, in sterile, white cells, a simple bed to one side and a place to relieve yourself on the other. A door blocks your exit.
You are wearing simple jumpsuits, possessions taken from you.
There is not a mark on your body. Except the brand, on your forehead.
