Over the next two weeks, Nestor continued to detain Tom in the New Atlantis dungeon. After his mistreatment of Kyle, the guards responded in kind - by punching and kicking him whenever they had the chance. They even fed him a blinding potion in one of his drinks, so that he could experience what Kyle had endured. (The difference, of course, was that this potion wore off after a day - whereas Kyle needed surgery to restore even some vision, and he'd need to wait for years while his eyes slowly repaired themselves...)
For the time being, Kyle was kept in his cave by the beach. Since he didn't have much to do here, he simply continued writing his stories, taking an occasional break to walk along the beach with Jocelyn or Aliana. It was a peaceful and quiet existence - and it was far better than being slapped and abused at Lennart Castle - but still, Kyle was getting a little bored, and he hoped he could return to his room sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately, Nestor had just received another letter....
"It's from Lennart Castle!" he exclaimed to Aliana and Cassandra. "They're reminding us that Jake is the only adult Lennart who's still there. So if we don't let Tom go back... then they'll release him from prison, and allow him to rule !!!"
