Prologue:

Alyce growled at the humans as the closed in on her. she looked around, there was no where to run and not enough room to fly. She growled again as the humans continued their advance and with one last burst of energy she raced forward hoping to run through the humans and knock them down so she could run away. It didn't work, the humans were prepared. Alyce felt a stinging pain in her side and suddenly felt tired but she kept going. The pain grew worse and so did her sleepiness. The female lighira tried to fight it but collapsed asleep.

Alyce awoke what seemed to be a few hours later. Her side hurt a lot and her legs were cramped. She blinked a few times to get the blurriness out of her gaze and looked around. She was in a small metal cage and had barely any room to move, the room outside was dark but she could hear other Sylesti shifting around in the small confinement cages they were kept in. "Hello?" She called softly but got only grunts in reply. Alyce looked through the cage bars and into the room but it was too dark to see anything. Suddenly a bright light lit the room and humans walked in. Alyce froze and watched as the humans walked around the room......

Do we start?

(Yes

Kajhu awoke to whimpers, moans, and a throbbing pain in his side. A strong metallic smell made his eyes water. His paws burned and he had no sense of direction. He usually knew what to do, but now he didnt and this made him scared. He decided that the best thing to do was examine his surroundings. He was in a cage. The cage was in a room. That made sense so far. He turned to the bars of his cage and gasped. He was looking at a sea of cages containing sylesti. Faeloras with drooping antlers crouched low in tiny cages. Vulnxyes with fur missing whimpered behind iron bars. Aurelons proud necks were bent and crooked and their feathers were droopy. It was horrible. He immediately checked every nook and cranny (which wasnt many) in the cage. He shook the bars and bit at the side. It was no use. he would have to wait to see what would happen. Waiting what he did best. He lay down and pulled his wings around his body. He pretended that he was waiting to see a rare species of bird in the forest, one of his favorite pastimes.


Coal Blue awoke in her worst nightmare. In other words, a tight, dark, pressing space. The walls started to close in on her. No! Dont think about it. Its just your fantastic, horrible imagination. She tried vainly to calm herself but she was terrified. Coal girl, come on. Calm, calm, calm, calm, calm. Good, good. Okay now Ill try to find a way out... She turned around and around which was extremely hard in such a tight space. Finally she found a pinprick of light. Thrusting a claw through the hole, she found that a blanket was blocking the light. Wow. She must have been thrashing around a lot. They tried to calm me down. They think we are stupid. She ripped it away to reveal rows and rows of cages filled with sylesti. That was the last straw. First, her worst nightmare, then the blanket, than this. She was filled with rage. Combine a restless sylesti made to run and fly + their worst fear + many others in the same state= One terrified angry sylesti. She hurled herself at the bars of the cage over and over until she collapsed in exhaustion.

Nari heard the thrashing coming from one cage. "Hello?" Her voice was soft and defeated but she tried to stay strong. After being cooped up for so long her neck and back ached her wings hurt and on top of all that, she, and most of the other Sylesti, hadn't been fed in days. She heard shifting and a deep groan next to her and looked through the bars to the next cage where Naru was. "Are you okay?" Yea.... Just.. Just dandy." Naru managed to reply. Nari sighed. "We will leave." She said trying to sound confident. But knew she failed. Naru remained silent and Nari sighed again.

Foret growled at the soft voice. After being here for days, though he wasn't sure how many, he had grown weary of everything and everyone. He lay down and rested his head on his paws and closed his eyes, hoping he would wake up and that this would be a dream.

Alyce raised her head, she had stopped trying to get out and was now resting and trying to think but it was hard to do so with Sylesti freaking out every ten minutes. She looked in the cage across from her and saw nothing. Then two yellow eyes opened and she saw the shadows shifting. In another cage further left was a pure white griffi whose fur was matted and tangled and it's feathers wings were a mess due to the griffi begin unable to preen in such a tight space. She heard a soft voice. "Hello?" But couldn't and didn't reply she just sighed and lay her head on her paws.

If it's not too late, can I join?

Arabia woke up, a pain in his side. He looked around, all he could see was dull greyness. Just then he hears a voice. "Hello?" The voice asks, Arabia tries to answer, but he's still drowsy and the answer becomes a groan.

Water. Gosh, she needed water. Stupid humans... Dried out, Ayella lay on the bottom of her cage. It was no good to be here, not at all! And then not giving her the water she needed. If they thought she would sell, with her splash wings dried out, they were really stupid. At least, she hoped they had caught her to sell. A quick look around told her they didn't care much for what the Sylesti looked like, so she stopped thinking before she got into any more scary thoughts. Surely they were caught to be sold to collectors. Alive and well. It had to be that. Someone would be angry at her dried-out state... she hoped. And tried to flex her muscles in the tight space.

Some quiet voices, some groaning. This was no place for any Sylesti, Al'war noticed. Especially not himself. He hoped his family was alright. At least he had prevented them taking all of them. He send some of the spirit flames forward, to have a better light. Not that these could help breaking the locks of course. The only thing they could do was lighten the place up a little. But it was very dark in this room, so he could not see very far. He saw one Griffi pounding at the cage. Not that it helped her. War was not going to do the same, even with his armour on he found he would only damage himself. It was probably better to wait for the humans to take one or some of them out of the cages, for whatever reason, because that would be their best shot at escaping...

Fiva turned in her cage and lay down again. Her wing feathers were messy and her fur was matted due to her being unable to preen. She growled at nothing and closed her eyes again.
