Harry is currently leaning against the rough wood wall, his eyes half closed as the carriage jolts along the paved path. His body aches-it is battered and bruised, covered in scattered scratches and discolored purple marks. The position that he is is uncomfortable, and the hard surface seems to become more solid with every passing hour. His hands are tied behind his back, painfully tight, but he doesnât notice-all that matters is that he is free.
Free.
Harry closes his eyes and smiles. A second later, they widen and he looks out the small window-the rusty iron bars that stretch from the top to bottom, giving it the feeling of a jail cell. In a way, it is- he is kidnapped, captured for the rebel movement, a prisoner.
The sky is a dull grey, cloudy and dark. It reminds Harry of himself-he is a thunderstorm, filled with rain clouds and thunder and lightning, but he is endless, unbounded, unrestricted. Harry feels lighter than ever before, powerful and unstoppable, as he sits there all alone, tied up and gagged, in the dark.
Or,
Harry is the crown prince of England. His father, the King, is a violent, cruel man-the monster that Harry wants to escape. The Rebellion may just help him do that.
