Built underneath the the military's tower, the dungeons are an incredibly secure and state-of-the-line series of installations built for the purpose of housing dangerous criminals and political prisoners. It is separated into various wings according to the severity of the crime and how dangerous the prisoner kept there. The highest security wing is sealed magically, meaning only certain individuals can enter and leave.

Akai'a would be taken to the section of the dungeons suited for Political Prisoners since that seemed to be appropriate for a prisoner of war. All the cells were quite clean as they'd never been used before today. There was a cot, a considerable upgrade to her previous arrangements.
"Sorry about that, I have experience in prisoners of war, these guys may not so much." Tyrus turns speaks to someone, "Bring some food for the prisoner."
He would then return to adress Akai'a once she was in her cell, "So who would you be? I am Tyrus Sephiran, Foreign Minister and former knight."

Akai'a was surprised by the politeness of the human. She had no intention of keeping secrets from her captors. She was low ranking officer and would not be welcomed back if she returned to the mountains. She answered with little hesitation. "My name is Akai'a. I am a lieutenant within the Nokarian Armies. I would be considered a knight by these lands standards."

"Well Akai'a, I'll be sure you're treated fairly while here." Tyrus takes a seat on a wooden chair outside the cell, "Can't say I've ever seen a Norkari. I've only heard a little about what happened at the mines, so I'm not completely filled in on the details. Only that something happened at the mines and Ildesias went to check it out, then came back with less men and 2 prisoners."
Someone returned with some food, Tyrus took it and slid it through the appropriate slat, "Breakfast."

Akai'a proceeded to explain the events that happened in at the mine. "We were defending what we consider out territory. The Nokari mountains are the home of many races of "beast-men". I myself am a Volkrim. We resemble wolfs and as far as power goes we are second only to our leaders the Draxis." She realized that she was beginning to give away secrets of the Nokari, but that mattered little to her. "We are forbid to leave the mountains. Only special agents can leave on their own, with permission. If you leave the mountains, even against your will, you would normally be executed on return. I cannot return home now." Her last words were sorrowful. She had ignored the food so far even though she was hungry.

"I see. So they wouldn't take you back if we gave you back to them." Tyrus sympathizes with the Volkrim, "I was an exile previously, betrayed by a man in power I respected. Set to take the fall for something he did. Some days I wish I could have killed him for destroying my reputation at home, but I've got a new start now."
Tyrus would get back to questioning Akai'a, "The other prisoner that the Phoenix State soldiers seemed to be parading with, he was a Volkrim too, do you know him?"

She spoke plainly, "Owa is a General for one of the Draxis Lords." She paused and continued with a bit of frustration in her voice, "That is more or less as high as anyone who is not a Draxis can rise. He... is also my father."

"Oh really? Well it's a shame then to inform you, General Sinn took him away, I assume back to the desert of the Phoenix State." Tyrus tells Akai'a, "I don't know what they'll do with him, from how I've seen them treating him though he's in a much worse position."

Akai'a spoke rather plainly, "I expected torture. The Nokari torture. Don't think that's why I'm talking freely with you. I would rather make friends at this point than foes." Her voice had again taken a sorrowful tone. Her golden eyes shone, holding back tears.

"We won't torture you. Once we're done interviewing you, you could consider joining us here in our city. Right now you should eat though, after that we'll get you a bath and some clean clothes." Tyrus makes his offer and gets up, "These men will take care of your needs, I have a matter I must check on quickly then I'll return. You are still a prisoner for now."

Akai'a nods. "I understand. And thank you for the better accommodations. She was happy about the prospect of joining the Free City but she was much more grateful about the offer of a bath. She ate the food she was given and proceed to partake in the services offered to her. After her bath and a change of clothes she felt much better. Her fur once again pure white and clothes almost the same she was content in her cell for now.

Ildesias made his way into the dungeon, silent and perhaps even foreboding. In his uninjured hand he held a lit torch, which he used to light his path as he and a rank-and-file soldier entered the wing where Akai'a was kept. Not long later, he came upon her cell and told the guard to leave them.
He pulled up a chair, then sat himself down in front of the bars and placed his free hand over his sling so that he might at least pretend to cross his arms.
"I'm not certain what to do with you," he stated clearly. "There are many in the assembly who want to keep you as a prisoner of war and send you to trial for crimes against the city. You would face exile, or even execution."

The Volkrim was laying on a cot when Ildesias started speaking. She rolled over, her eyes almost glowing in the torch light. "You will do what you have to." She sat up and sighed. "Your people are angry and scared. An threat so close to home but completely unseen. They struck from the shadows and killed innocent people. To be honest, I am lucky to be alive at this point."

"I'll put you under escorted house arrest for the foreseeable future," Ildesias decided calmly. "You'll be moved to a room above and will be under constant guard when outside it. I see no reason to mistreat a prisoner, especially since I've been told how cooperative you are. On the other hand, this is still an arrest, so you will not have free rein to go where you want, not will you be able to leave."
The called for the prison guard on duty and took his set of keys, which he used to unlock Akaia's cell. "Tell your commanding officer to have two guards on her at all times and to have her set up in one of the guest rooms in the keep. Make sure it's the windows are barred and someone's on watch outside her room at all times."
The guard nodded. "I'll get it done, Lord," the man replied, before taking the set of keys back and turning to leave and carry out his orders.

"Leiniancy? I did not expect it." She seemed releived at first but grew slightly stressed, "What if the assembly does not approve of this? Would your position be in danger?" She hadn't the first clue about the Free City's polotics or ruling bodies.

"I suggest not concerning yourself with matters like that, at least not yet," Ildesias told Akai'a. "However, while the guard is away, I have some questions I would like answers to, if you would not mind sharing them."
"Firstly, I would like you to explain to me personally, in your own words, anything you have explained to any other official or guard here. I want to know about where you come from, your people and their power and behaviour.Secondly, I want to know about the leader of your people and what kind of individual they are; as well as whether you expect they will launch an attack against us."

She began, "I told the Offical Tyrus Sephiran about the battle. You were at the battle, I saw you, so you know what happened there. I told him more. That the Nokari were defending what they consider their territory. The Nokari mountains are the home of many races. I myself am a Volkrim. We resemble wolves and as far as power goes we are second only to our leaders the Draxis. The Nokari are forbidden to leave the mountains. Only special agents can leave on their own, with permission. If you leave the mountains, even against your will, you would normally be executed on return. I cannot return home now." After a small pause, "I also told a guard that Owa, the other capture, was my father." She gave Ildesias a moment to absorb the information before continuing.
"The Nokari are numerous and have fully populated the Nokari mountains. Each race has their own behavior. I am not fully educated in their behaviors or the number of the many species. I know how Draxis and Volkrim act however. Draxis are extremely religious, they believe they are descended from dragons and all evidence points to this being fact. Dragons are seen as gods in Nokari Culture so the Draxis are placed as leaders. They are pious, entitled, quick to anger, but can be extremely patient. And they can use magic very well."
"My kind, the Volkrim, act very much like wolves. We are very social, we have a hierarchy of leaders much like wolves as well. Behavior wise, we are as easy as we are hard to control. One must simply be stronger and/or smarter than our leaders, we are both intelligent and strong so this can be hard. We follow commands well and function in teams very well."
"There are five Draxis Lords. My lord was Elidil. I never met him but he has great military strength in the Nokari."
"As to the Nokari reaching out from the mountains and attacking? That is unknown to me. The Draxis will expect your settlement to constantly threaten the mountains but at the same time the religious laws state that no Nokari should leave the mountains. The Draxis may push for an attack. Outside the mountains the Nokari are not knowledgeable about the land. There will be a huge number of scouts well before an attack... If they are smart about it anyway. Keep your ear to the ground, the Nokari won't just appear out of the mountains, there will be signs. I would suggest you double your on duty guards and construct extra watch towers between you and the mountains."

"I see. Well, thank you for your help and your suggestions. I'll have a guard return shortly to let you out of your cell, though I would remind you to remember the conditions of your house arrest: do not try to escape, do not break our laws, do not go where you are not supposed to be and be aware that you will always be under guard for the near future," Ildesias explained before standing and pushing his chair back under the watchman's table.
He turned back towards the door at the end of the hall, then nodded slightly. "Goodbye and good-day," he told Akai'a, before leaving the dungeon.
About ten minutes later, two guards would return to her cell. They would unlock her door and any chains or items of binding and allow her to go free. They would accompany her wherever she went, keeping a close eye on her behaviour.

"I understand. I thank you for this small amount of freedom." When he said good-day she bowed very slightly.
When the guards let her out of her cell she immediately left the dungeon to explore the Citadel, cautiously out of fear of going into restricted areas.

Ildesias and a retinue of guards would escort Red Fletcher deep into the dungeons, though it was unlikely she would be able to see any exact contraptions or architectural layouts. She would, however, know the familiar sound of crackling torches, multiple iron doors open and lock repeatedly, the shaking of chainmail armour and the breathing of guards and the idle chatter of jail masters.
When Ildesias finally removed the blindfold from her, she would find herself in a reasonably sized cell consisting of smooth, feature-less walls, a bed and blanket and bathroom facilities. The door to her cell was thick and metal, with multiple locks and bolts on the outside and an open-able hatch just large enough to pass a tray through.
"This is now your new home, until your trial has been organized. You will be fed and watered, but you will also be under guard at all times. This is a high security wing in which guards have permission to use lethal force against prisoners if they try to resist any security-related requests, cause violence or harm to a guard, or attempt to escape. In addition, someone will be looking into your cell at all times. If you try to disappear or shrink, you will be considered to be attempting escape. If you try to grow, the weight and strength of the structure you are in will cause you to crush yourself. Serve your time peacefully, and I will ensure that when the trial comes, your behaviour will be brought up in discussions. Your trial will be organized as soon as able."
Ildesias said nothing else. He simply turned, let the guards lock the cell door, then left.
