Truth Cage
A ritual space where lies become physically painful to articulate.
Kailen lets them speak until the pain forces truth.
The more deeply held the lie, the sharper the reaction.
The duo's mouths, healed by Kailen with an elixir for the sake of answering Kailen's questions with clear words, found themselves in some sort of room with Kailen—an obvious effect of the skill.
In reality, they were still on the plane with Kailen standing across their battered and beaten forms.
However, because of the Truth Cage skill Kailen had just activated, the skill's effect made them perceive they were in some dark, ominous room with Kailen.
The young man was seated at the other end of the room, having reverted back to his normal appearance.
Cutting straight to the point, Kailen asked,
"Who sent you, and what do they want from me?"
He knew this was obviously either the Harkers or Darkhavens at work.
