I couldn't even stand for more\nthan a few moments even with their energy injections. My muscles had all\ndeteriorated from lack of use, and my body felt lifeless. \n  I was left alone in my cell\nfor a long time. I saw the other captives, including the werewolf girl across\nfrom me, dragged out, tested and returned over and over again. Hardly anyone\neven acknowledged me for the next few days, except for the occasional scientist\nor doctor who would stop by to jot down notes and reach through the bars to\ngive me a daily injection. \n  I took this opportunity to\nwork on being able to at least stand and walk. I began by pacing in my cell\nuntil my legs collapsed. I was still hardly able to walk when Fleur came to see\nme a few days later, but walking at all, and wanting to, was a massive\nimprovement as far as I was concerned.\n  She led me out of my cell and\ninto the room next door, where my bonds stuck to the side of the table once\nagain like a powerful magnet. I was more aware today than I had ever been while\ndown here. I was not looking forward to that, but I convinced myself to remain\naware today. For a moment I wondered why she was alone, usually there were\nalways two of them. I glanced over at the bonds. I wasn't thinking of escaping\ntoday, but I briefly wondered how they worked.\n  \"You were able to walk in on\nyour own today.\" Fleur said, her voice a bit quiet.\n  My ears perked forward. She\nseemed nervous, or upset. I wasn't sure. I took a moment to look at her, and\nnoticed a troubled look in her eyes.\n  \"Alright, two-fifty-seven.\"\nShe said as she look at her notes, \"Just going to do a routine checkup today.\nIt seems you've been improving.\"\n  \"Decipher.\" I said. \n  She looked up at me,\nsurprised. \"What?\"\n  \"My name, it's Decipher.\"\n  She gave me a small smile and\nnodded. She opened her mouth as if she were about to speak, but she remained\nsilent when we heard voices coming from outside the door. \n  \"It is simply not worth it for\nme to stay longer.\" A dark, male voice said. \"You know how I despise visiting\nthis side of the mountains.\"\n  \"Brother, please.\" Hale's\nvoice chided, \"You know the eclipse will affect you. You would be wise to\nremain here while your people sort things out.\"\n  \"Do not call me brother, Hale.\"\nThe man's voice was more chilling than Hale's. \"We both know you are the one in\ndanger, and I have no interest in preserving your existence.\"\n  \"Fine, Vladimir. I suppose I\ncannot persuade you with my current resources.\" Hale said, I could tell he was\nstill grinning, \"Shall we move to the day's activities, then?\"\n  I glanced at Fleur, who had\nsnuck up closer to the door, and went to lock it. Perhaps she wanted to make it\nseem like we were oblivious to the conversation. She then went back to flipping\nthrough things in the cabinets. My heart began to race.\n  The lock clicked and I felt\nHale's presence force itself into the room. His face was stone and his eyes\nwere still, red pools.\n  Fleur seemed to shiver. I\nbegan to wonder if this was normal, and I was just regularly too drugged to\nnotice any of these subtle interactions. \n  \"He's improving?\" Hale asked,\nsauntering over to where I was laying on the table.\n  Fleur nodded and pressed at my\nthigh and abdomen. \"Some of his muscle mass is returning, and it seems his body\nis absorbing nutrients again, but I haven't had the chance to do blood work\nyet.\"\n  \"Good. Take blood now.\" His\neyes remained set on mine. I couldn't pull myself away to look at the other man\nyet.\n  I tried to remain calm and\nsilent. I knew Doctor Hale was planning something sinister for when I had\nrecovered enough...something that would damage me again. I wasn't sure I was\nprepared for that yet, and I certainly did not trust this man, Vladimir, who\nwas visiting. \n  Slowly, Hale leaned over the\ntable and stared into my eyes. Terrified, I gazed up at him. His eyes looked\nlike they held the blood of his victims...and then a voice flashed a warning in\nmy mind.\n  Your blood. He wants your true blood. Why do you think that is?\n  I swallowed hard. I couldn't\ntell if it was myself talking or perhaps some cosmic entity trying to warn me,\nbut I wasn't sure what they meant. \n  Fleur pressed a needle into my\nvein and blood began to leak out. I stared over at the tube filed with red, and\nglanced back up to Hale, who was glaring at the liquid pouring out of me. I\nfelt sick. \n  Finally, I was able to pull my\neyes off of Hale and look at the other man. He was dressed in a sleek, black\nuniform that was embossed with a deep, royal blue symbol across the chest. His\nuniform resembled the style of clothing I had seen in Eldon, but was similar to\nwhat Hale wore. He was taller than Hale, and also thinner. His skin was pale\nand his dark, almost-black hair didn't help him look any less terrifying. His\neyes were darker than Hale's, but looked like they held a red color as well.  \nHe mentioned visiting this side of the mountains...is he from Eldon? I\nthought. Suddenly, I remembered speaking with Misha in Eldon.\n  \"There is also a large castle a few miles up the trail, and the lord of\nthe castle is a vampire who employs werewolves.\"  \n  Was this man the vampire\noverlord of Eldon? I suddenly felt like a fool for not thinking of vampire\nearlier...Hale must be some kind of vampire as well. I had never had the time to\nreflect on the information, and at this point the only information that came to\nmind was the fact that they fed on the blood of other living things and could\npotentially gain power from it.\n  The other man, or vampire,\nVladimir, was staring at me with intense eyes as Fleur finished drawing blood. She\nwrapped some gauze around my arm slowly and looked at Hale.\n  \"Sir,\" She began carefully,\n\"Would you like me to go run the blood work now?\"\n  \"Not necessary, Fleur. You\nare dismissed.\" He replied, his eyes still fixed on me. \"I will leave you\ninstructions for when you return. Go ahead and take a break. Return after\nlunch.\"\n  Fleur shot me a concerned, sad\nlook and nodded. \"Yes...sir.\" \n  I panicked. I didn't know what\nHale was planning, but being alone in the room with him and the other vampire\nterrified me. I struggled a bit out of habit, but froze when I realized it was\nfoolish to try.\n   Hale looked picked up the bag that contained\nthe blood Fleur had drawn from my arm and tossed it to Vladimir. \n  \"Tell me what you think of\nthis alien's blood.\" He smirked.\n  Vladimir caught the bag and\nstudied it for a few moments. \"Are you certain this is safe?\" He asked as his\neyes moved back down to me. I stared up at him, terrified. \"Will this hurt me,\nalien? Is Hale trying to fool me?\" \n  Hale folded his arms and\nleaned against the counter with a grin as I stared up at them hopelessly. I had\nno idea what to say, I honestly did not know the answer. \n  \"How would the prisoner know,\nVladimir?\" Hale laughed and reached his hand out, \"If you're so concerned, I'll\ntake the first sip.\"\n  Vladimir gripped the bag and\ntore a hole in it with some sharp teeth. After a few moments of quietly sipping\nat the blood, he looked up at Hale. Vladimir's eyes had become a red so intense\nthey nearly glowed, and he spit a mouthful of the blood onto the ground.\n  \"Vile.\" He hissed.\n  \"Yes. It feels fake, does it\nnot?\n  \"Interesting.\" Vladimir said\nas he studied me again. He slowly walked over to me and put his hand on the\nvein in my neck. \"You are so very loud.\" \n  My heart had been racing, and\nI assumed that's what he meant. I remained silent as Hale stood and approached\nthe side of the table.\n  \"A creature of fake blood. Can\nyou imagine the strength it must take to change your very life force?\" Hale\nasked the man, whose eyes looked bright with rage. \n  Vladimir shook his head and\nwiped a small drop of blood from his face. \"Hale, I think you overestimate his\npowers. Perhaps the Goddesses have not accepted him here, and that is why his\nblood is tainted and lifeless. Or perhaps the trauma of being here has caused\nhis blood to lose its strength.\"\n  \"No, it cannot be trauma.\"\nHale said, \"I've done far worse to experiments and still had a wonderful\nturnout when it comes to blood. The phoenix we spoke of earlier, for instance.\"\n\n  Hale's eyes looked into mine\nwhen he said that. I knew he was watching for my reaction. My lips twitched and\nI wanted to snarl, but I just narrowed my eyes instead. Hale turned back to\nVladimir, who sighed.\n  \"Phoenix blood is potent,\nHale. Your wolf here is an entirely different being. You know nothing about\nhim. What makes you think his blood will be so strong?\"\n  \"The first night he arrived I\ntried some.\" Hale said, his voice serious, \"It was unlike anything I had ever\nexperienced. It was so powerful that I thought he was associated with the\ngodhead, a child perhaps.\"\n  \"That could still be the case.\nLook at his eyes.\"\n  \"Exactly. Which is also why I\nthink they must have accepted him here.\" \n  \"And you think toying with him\nis a good idea?\" Vladimir said, \"They won't take kindly to that, especially if\nhe's important enough to wear the eyes of the dark.\"\n  \"Please. With your brother's\nwar at hand, the Goddesses hardly have the time to meddle with these\ninsignificant affairs.\" Hale smiled. Vladimir became silent at the mention of\nwar.  \n  I tried to remain calm, but I\nwas terrified. I didn't know what made my blood so special. It was true that I\nwas strong, but I still did not know why my blood was so powerful the first\nnight. Perhaps the Dark Goddess had helped me transform; she had given me the\neyes, after all. I wondered what her blood was like. \n  \"Either way, I'm sure his\nblood holds some sort of secrets. Aren't you at all curious?\"\n  \"Not particularly, Hale.\" Vladimir\nlooked bored, \"The type of power you crave is not necessary for me.\" \n  \"There's something else I need\nto show you, then.\" Hale said as he turned back to the cabinets. I swallowed\nhard at the sight of a needle, but honestly I was surprised they let me stay\nconscious for so long. \n  Hale slid the needle into me\nand I began to pass out. I tried to focus on the drug and stop it from\nrendering me entirely unconscious, but Hale seemed to notice and placed a hand\non me. As soon as he did, I was unable to control my energy, and I fell\nstraight asleep.\n  I\ndon't remember anything else from Hale's visit, and he did not come to visit\nagain. I felt fine afterwards, but couldn't comprehend anything that had\nhappened no matter how hard I tried. Instead of wasting my energy on trying to\nsearch my empty mind, I tried to focus on becoming stronger.\n  With each day that passed, I\nfelt a bit more hopeless. I felt like my time was running out, and I was taking\ntoo long to recover. I did not see Kato again, either. I was worried he would\ngive up on me. \n  I saw Fin and Fleur regularly.\nFin always seemed to have a bandage over his neck, and I had to wonder if Hale or\nhis friend Vladimir were feeding on his blood. Some days, he seemed distant and\nout of it.\n   Instead\nof being strapped down on the table every day, they had me sit up and move\naround after they injected me with whatever they decided to try on me that day.\nThe drugs I received in the coming days did not seem to have any effect at all,\nand if they did, I could not feel them. This worried me.\n  Misha began to come back as I\nstarted to improve. Neither of us made any attempt to talk with each other. He\nremained indifferent while I quietly seethed with rage. I still could not\nbelieve he could act this way, as if none of it mattered to him. He certainly\nwasn't sorry for what he had done. Fleur refused to interact with him unless\nshe was yelling at him, and Fin was usually the one he spoke with.\n   As I\nbecame stronger and my muscles returned, I continued to fantasize about how I\nwould get my revenge on him. These thoughts and dreams are what motivated me to\nbecome stronger, this also worried me. While Misha deserved a horrible fate, I\ndid not want to become the monster that I was slowly turning into. The thought\nof tearing him apart was the only thing to bring my shattered mind joy. Not\neven thoughts of escaping with Kato were as powerful as the idea of revenge.  \n  Fleur and I spoke more during\nthis time. She would sit by me as I paced in my cage, watching me sadly. She\nseemed upset that I was recovering, and at this point I assumed it was because\nshe knew what was in store for me. She mentioned that this had been Hale's plan\nall along, and that she was sad that I was fooled by him. I explained to her\nthat I was aware, but determined, and we left it at that. She seemed afraid to\ntalk about it anymore. \n  Fleur pitied me, and while I\nknew she would follow orders before help me, I also knew she wanted to help me.\nI never found out what Hale held over her head to make her obey, but I knew it\nweighed heavily in her mind, I could see it when she spoke of him, or when she\ncringed at the mention of his name. She feared him, and I wished I could take\nthat fear away from her. I couldn't even master my own fear, though. \n  Eventually, Fleur began to\ninstruct me on simple exercises I could perform in my cell to regain my\nstrength, and I began to do them daily.  \n  I continued to regain my\nstrength, and soon Hale came back to visit. I was once again laid down on the\ntable and shackled for his visit. Fleur explained my status to him. \n  \"He's regained enough\nstrength.\" Hale said as he ran his cold hands down my arms. \"He should be ready\nfor a training tune-up.\" \n  Confused, I looked at Hale\nfrom the table. Why did I need a training tune-up?\n  \"I'll send Reck down. The\narena on B2 is set up and ready.\" Hale said. \"Bring him there.\"\n  Fleur nodded, \"Yes, sir.\"\n  Hale vanished into the dark\nhallway, and Fleur unstrapped my bonds. She stared into my eyes as I sat up.\n\"You have to do what they say.\" She said, piercing me with her storm-cloud eyes.\n\"Don't make them upset. This is your chance to make a good impression. They are\ngoing to be expecting you to try and run, and they have plans. Do not fall into\ntheir trap, please.\"\n  My heart sank at her words. I\nwas happy she had warned me, and I probably wouldn't have planned an escape\nanyway, but it added to the hopelessness. I had a feeling whatever they were\ngoing to ask me to do, I wouldn't be happy with it.\n  She led me out of the dark\nbasement hallway for the first time in months. I walked up some stairs and\ncloser to the surface, closer to Kato. For a moment I reflected on how much I\nmissed the light, the lookout point, and visiting there with Kato. I closed my\neyes as she led me into another dark room. \n  The room was dimly lit, and\nabout half the size of the gym arena. It looked very similar, and had a glowing\nring on the floor. I saw a mirror on the wall that must have been where Hale\nwould observe me from. \n  My heart raced as I remembered\nmy first fight with the entities. Fleur wished me good luck and exited the\nroom. The lights went out and I heard Hale's voice.\n  \"You'll be fighting a werewolf\ntoday, two-fifty-seven.\" He said, \"Oh and, this one can and will hurt you, so\ntake it out quickly.\"\n  I waited in the darkness for\nthe entity to appear, but instead the lights came on and blinded me. When my\neyes adjusted, I saw a massive werewolf crouched over and snarling. It was\nsmaller than the last wolf I had fought, and it's form looked sleek and agile.\nI prepared myself for it to attack, noticing that it had some sort of metal\ncollar around it's neck.\n  The wolf roared and charged at\nme, and I looked around quickly for an escape. The arena floor was blank and\nempty, unlike the first time I had fought a werewolf. I saw a few weapons\nscattered around and ran towards the closest one, a spear. The werewolf caught\nup with me shortly after I had grabbed the spear, and I tossed it at his side.\nThe spear snagged in it's side and it whimpered with pain before slashing me\nwith a massive claw.\n  My body spun around and hit the\nhard, white floor. I snarled and sprang back up at it. I allowed my mind to\nvent all the rage I was feeling towards Misha, telling myself that this was\npractice for his execution. \n  My muscles changed and my bones\nshifted. My form grew to match the werewolf, and we collided. I couldn't\ncomprehend what was happening, all I felt was claws raking against fur as we\nroared. It sank it's teeth into my bicep. The wolf was much quicker than I was.\nIt would bite and twist my body into uncomfortable positions before I could\neven strike back. Finally I landed my teeth in it's neck, ripping out a large\nchunk of it's throat. \n  The taste of it's blood was\nincredibly satisfying. The wolf whimpered and backed off as I began to rip off\nlarger chunks of skin. I didn't even feel the pain that coursed through my body\nfrom it's hits. I was determined to tear out it's heart.\n  I backed the wolf up into a\ncorner as it stared at me with terrified, pleading eyes. There was something\nhauntingly familiar about those dark, amber eyes. My rage wouldn't pity them,\nthough, and I ripped into their chest, feeling the familiar crunch of bones as\nI tore the arteries apart. I not only tore out their heart, but I fed on it.\nThe feeling left me with an incredible hunger that continued long after the\nwolf was dead. \n  When I was done eating the\nheart, I tossed the body aside and sat panting. My mind slowly began to adjust\nto the situation, and suddenly I realized the wolf had been female. My heart\nfroze.  It can't be... My mind cried.\n   I don't know why I had assumed it was an\nentity, but when I tore into it's body I lost all clear thinking. I looked down\nat the red-splattered floor and felt sick, but the raging feeling did not\nsubside. My mind spiraled into a dark place as I realized I had just killed the\nfemale werewolf who had sat across from me. I tried to deny it to myself, but\nmy body shook with blinding rage. \n  She sat scared in the corner as I ripped her open... Oh god. You FUCKING\nMONSTER! My mind yelled at me. WHAT\nHAVE YOU DONE?\n   The door opened, and Hale stepped into the\nroom. His eyes were bright red and he was grinning, \"I was not expecting that!\"\nHe laughed.\n  A low growl rumbled in my\nthroat as I remembered Fleur's warning. They weren't expecting me to kill\nsomeone so easily, especially not another prisoner, the one who'd actually made\nan attempt to speak with me. I looked back at the collar the werewolf had worn\nand snarled at Hale. I sensed a disgusting energy seeping off of the collar,\nenergy of pure evil. \n  My attention snapped to the\ndoor, where Misha and another man entered the room. My eyes locked onto Misha. I\nwas still the werewolf, and my legs and arms still resembled the animal-like\nshape as I hunched over with a snarl. I charged at Misha.\n  Before anyone could react, I\nslammed into him and knocked him into the wall, crashing the back of his skull\nagainst it. I reached my paw up to strike him, but I was stopped by an intense\npain that snaked through my spine and paralyzed me. \n  I saw Misha's bloody face as\nthe other man grabbed me and dragged me off of him. I was so close...I felt\ninsane with rage. He has to die! My\nmind yelled at me. I focused on the pain in my back and was able to calm it. \n  I turned and gripped the man's\nthroat, it was Reck. I tried to take him out with my clawed paws, but Hale's\nhand was soon on me. I spun around and tried to grab at him, but he swiftly\npunched my jaw and sent a paralyzing shock through my body as he laughed. \n  Everything happened so fast.\nReck recovered and helped Hale beat me. He grabbed the back of my neck and\nslammed me into the ground. Blood splattered from my mouth onto the floor, and\nI became dizzy as he slammed my head against the floor a few more times. My\nbody began to retreat back into it's original form as it accepted defeat.\n  My mind was tormented with the\nidea of defeat. It wasn't giving up. I struggled to continue to fight back but\nonly ended up bleeding more as Reck's foot dug into my side. I struggled and flailed\nmy arms about until my vision was blurred and I could no longer move. My\nblurred vision focused on Misha, who was holding a bloody arm in his hands. I\nwasn't satisfied with how little damage I had done to him, and I snarled one\nlast time before a blow of energy knocked me out. \n  I\nwoke up sitting upright, strapped into a chair. My body felt sore and weak. The\nevents that had passed felt like a dream, a nightmare. I had been so close...\n  When my eyes adjusted I\nrealized my nightmare wasn't over. Reck was sitting directly across from me and\nstaring into my eyes. I couldn't even see his irises. It almost looked like his\neyes were pure white, but it felt like my mind just could not comprehend what\nthey looked like. His skin was tan, and his hair was deep, reddish brown that\nseemed to have an iridescent shine in the fluorescent lighting above us.\n  He remained silent and\ncontinued to stare into my eyes, and I was entranced by him. My thoughts were\nhazy as I tried to wrap my mind around what exactly happened. I noticed I had a\nfew bandages placed on my arms where the wolf had bitten me, and my mouth was\ntied shut. A few moments later, I noticed Hale standing off to the side.\n  Hale walked over to us and\nstood above me. \"Make sure he won't attack Aras again.\" He said. Reck nodded.\n\"Other than that, it seems like he's an obedient dog. We'll use that good old\nwerewolf rage to our advantage.\"\n  Reck placed his heavy hands on\nthe side of my head, and my mind instantly felt invaded. I felt like he was\nprogramming my body, not necessarily my mind. \n  \"You will obey Misha Aras.\" His\nforceful voice commanded me. My muscles seemed to soak in his answer, and my\nbrain could not understand what was happening. I tried to struggle but my body\nwas paralyzed, as if possessed by a foreign entity. \n  Slowly, the energy began to\nfade and I felt somewhat normal again, if not exhausted. Hale was smiling.\n\"Shall we test it out?\"\n  \"Give him a day.\" Reck said,\n\"The message needs time to take control. He could probably fight it if we used\nit right now.\" \n  I tried to search out the\nenergy he had invaded me with and destroy the message, but it was well hidden.\nI did not feel any different. My heart raced as Reck stood up and left the\nroom. \"Return him to his cell for now.\" He said on his way out, \"I need to\nrest.\" \n  Hale nodded before turning to\nme, \"You've made a horrible mistake, two-fifty-seven. I was going to end your\ntorment with Aras, but it seems you require a reminder that we own you. Aras\nmade mistakes, but because of you, he gets to continue making them.\" His voice\nwas calm, and the smile had vanished from his face, \"You do not get to decide\nwhat justice is. You do not get to decide who is deserving of punishment. I\ndo.\" \n  Hale's bloody eyes surrounded\nme. My ears laid flat as I listened to his words. I felt fear and defeat creep\ninto my mind. Did Hale punish Misha for what he had done to me? I wondered if\nMisha had become so irritated and stopped violating me because Hale commanded\nhim to. I felt sick. I had failed, and as a result, I would now have to deal\nwith Misha again...I couldn't handle more of that. I wasn't numb enough anymore. I\nbegan to shake.\n  Hale called Fin into the room,\nwho unstrapped me as Hale walked away. Fin attached the bonds on my hand\ntogether behind my back and walked me back into my cell. He closed the iron\ndoor as I stared out at him. Slowly, I sank down to my knees and watched him\nleave. I collapsed on the floor of my cell, feeling destroyed. Fin stood and\nwatched me for a long while. I wasn't sure why, but I passed out before I could\nthink about it. \n  I woke up to the pinch of a needle in\nmy arm. I was strapped to the table again as blood leaked out of me. Misha was\nstanding over me and Fleur was off to the side writing down notes. I was happy\nto see that Fleur was here. \n  My heart raced with fear,\ncausing my blood to leak out of me more rapidly. He withdrew the needle and\nwrapped some gauze around the vein that dripped out a heavy amount of blood as\nmy body panicked. I felt like I was going to pass out, and I hoped I would.\n  Misha and Fleur exchanged a few\nwords as I tried to make myself pass out. The sickness in my head wouldn't\nallow me to do so, though. Misha moved over to the cabinet and poured my blood\ninto several different vials. \n  I looked up to Fleur as she\nstood over me and continued to write notes. She looked up at me briefly. \n  I shook my head, \"Don't leave.\"\nI whispered. She stared down at me sadly.\n  \"Take these to my lab for\ntesting.\" Misha said as he handed Fleur a tray of vials containing my blood.\n  \"Misha, don't do this.\" Fleur\nsaid, looking down at me. \"You're going to cause his condition to plummet\nagain.\"\n   Misha slipped off his pair of gloves, \"Do\nwhat you're told, Fleur.\" He said.\n  Fleur put the tray of vials\ndown and stared at Misha. \"What gives you the right?\" She asked, her stormy\neyes seemed to spark with lightning.\n  \"Get out, Fleur.\" Misha said,\nhis voice becoming less calm.\n  \"No, Aras! You're filthy. You\nsicken me, and I can't watch you do this anymore. I can't stand by and let it\nhappen!\" She yelled as she approached my side. I was so afraid for her. I knew\nMisha wouldn't hesitate to hurt her. I struggled to breath.\n  \"Please, Fleur. He deserves\nit.\" Misha spat as he circled around the table towards her. \n  Fleur brought a keycard up to\nmy bond and unlocked it. Misha grabbed her and threw her against the wall.\n\"What the hell is wrong with you?\" He shouted, pulling a needle out of his\npocket and tossing aside the needle guard. He became ready to stab it into her.\n  Before he could inject her, I\njumped up and crashed into him. My muscles burned but I focused all my energy\non ripping his head off. Fleur stared at me with wide eyes as I gripped his\nneck and started to twist. Unfortunately, I couldn't twist it fast enough.  \n  \"SIT DOWN, two-fifty-seven,\"\nand my body obeyed.\n  I struggled against my body. I\nfelt possessed, and I couldn't move. My mind thrashed around within my head as\nI became a prisoner in my lifeless body. My mind screamed at me as I fought my\nbody. \n  \"Go to sleep, Decipher.\" Misha\nsaid as he slipped the needle into Fleur's vein. \n  I had no more time to fight it,\nand my mind was silenced by darkness. ","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/574057-skyfall-chapter-18.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/576120-skyfall-chapter-20.json"}
