~Ivy~
There must have been others... right? Worried that they were the only ones to escape. Well... at least we got away. If I see another scientist at my death, it will have been too soon. Ivy slowly approached the door and swung it open, Next stop, absolute freedom. She grinned gleefully.

The room around me was pitch black. Well of course it was, my eyes were shut, but you get what I mean.

Hearing a loud growl, I stretched my legs and opened my eyes to be met with a black wolfs face, inches away from mine, snarling. Get out! She hissed at me, taking a step forward, making me back up. Raising an eyebrow, I asked in a language only animals could ask, I didnt know anyone lived here...please, cant I just stay for now?

Her eyes narrowed and she clawed the ground. No! I cant risk my pups lives for some outsider who will get me found out or hurt my babies! Again, she took a step forwards. By now, my back paws were slipping at the edge, threatening to slip down. Panicked, I looked at her with pleading eyes. Please... I begged, but she stared at me, her green orbs baring right through me. Dont come back. She snarled, and lunged at me, hurling my body into the water below.

Landing into the ice cold water, I hissed in pain, quickly reverting to my human form. F**king hell! I hissed, pulling myself up. The water was only up to my waist, and when I fell I had landed on my back. Whats more, I hated water, so I rushed through to the edge of the water and scrambled out, shivering in the cold nights air.

My wound began thumping and I groaned, crouching down in agony. The thin material of my shirt was stuck to my back, rubbing into my back as I moved, and my jacket had fallen to around my ankles. Sick of the pain, I pulled my shirt off and tapped the wound. The dressing had completely soaked trough with blood and water, and was beginning to peel off. Better get this off... I mumbled, trying to awkwardly reach and remove it.

Wow, you look like such an idiot. A familiar voice sounded from behind me. In the moonlight, I saw the girl from earlier, smiling smugly from a branch in the big tree above. If youre not going to help...ugh...then leave, brat. I grumbled. She rolled her eyes and swooped down, wings transforming into small, curled ones as she landed. Hold still you baby, and dont complain. She instructed, reaching into the bag she had around her shoulders. Sighing, I let her do what she had to, not letting my guard down for a second.

~Orion~

The book opened to reveal.... A blank page. Orion frowned, flipping through the pages, nothing, it was all blank. "What's going on here?!" He asked angrily, raising his voice. "Why is there an empty book buried in the ground." He angrily flipped through the book once more and noticed a small paragraph on the last page. He read it carefully and closed the book, staring at the indents he just noticed on each segment. He ran his fingers along them, "Something definitely fits in here." It read on the back, 'The eyes of the land in their silver cases, scattered across the land, the time races. Find them all, fit them in, or suffer consequences found within. If you succeed, claim your prize, and watch the humans fall, not rise...'
Gasping, Orion dropped the book and scurried backwards. "No no no, I do not want them to fall, I don't want anyone to fall."

I hissed in pain as she did something to my wound, making me clench my hands into fists. Ah! Damn it, what the hell are you doing!! Continuing what she was doing, she slapped me on the head gently, being careful not to touch the flower crown. Peering over my shoulder to glare at me, she conjured a soft light from her hand and said, I thought I said no complaining. Piercing something through my flesh, she mumbled, For goodness sake, when you have an injury youre not mean to to go jumping into shallow lakes or moving a lot, it makes it worse. She mumbled as she pulled something which made my eyes sting with salty water.

I didnt do it on purpose! I shouted, which earned me another slap on the head. And quorums you stop that!? Youll ruin my flower jewellery... I grumbled, straightening it out and then looking at the arm band. Although the flowers were a little soggy and a few of the petals had began to wither, it shone with an Aura of comfort and calmness. The girl giggled insultingly. Why, am I gonna ruin the pwetty flower crown your boooyfriend made for you? She laughed at her own joke whilst I growled.

Hes not my boyfriend!! I snapped, which made her ease off. Geez, Okay? I was joking. It looks kinda sweet on you. Once she finished her sentence, she tapped me on the shoulder. All patched up. She admired her handiwork, then shot me a smile. Raising an eyebrow, I turned to face her. She looked at me expectantly for a while, until I picked up my clothes and began to wander off. Annoyed, she flew over to me. Hey! I dont do work for free! Hand over the goods! She whined as I ignored her and walked around the lake. I dont have anything. My stern voice came out as I wrung my shirt over the lake and put on my jacket without zipping it up.

Frowning, she flew in front of me, flying backwards skilfully as I walked forward, clearly uninterested. Hey! Not even a thank you!? She groaned. I stopped abruptly, smirking as she flew backwards into a tree and yelled in surprise and pain. Im calling it a debt paid from when I saved you. I reminded her about earlier, and she landed, rubbing her arm awkwardly. Yeah... She mumbled.

As I dumped my shirt at the bottom of a large tree and began to climb it, claws out, she extended her wings again and began following me. Well...we both dont have anywhere to go...how about we team up? She asked, whilst I groaned. I work alone. I stated, nearly at the top of the tree because of my climbing speed. She tapped her chin with thought, then grinned. Well if were not working together... she spoke, flying to the top of the branch I was climbing and sat on top of it, Then Ill just have to follow you without permission! I choked and flared at her, eyes icy. She squealed with evil glee. I already knew I was going to hate this kid.

It was dark in the cage she had been placed in, though that was how they liked it. Her eyes glowed in the dark, the orange of them reflecting even the tiniest of light. There was a commotion earlier in the night, though she hadn't seen anything that caused it. So the woman sat there in the cold, damp cell that smelled strongly of urine and other unwanted waste. It would be a miracle if she managed to escape these bounds, which was something she wasn't used to. Give her a gryphon, a drowner, heck even a necker and she would be happy to kill them but put her in a cage? Sure for a full Witcher it was an easy fix, just use ard and blow the door down though for one who was starved it took much more planing. The energy needed to escape was more than she had to give, let alone escape and manage to hold her own once out. First rule of business was to figure out where they were holding her weapons, and clothes for that matter, then these a**holes would pay for keeping her here. Now she just had to wait until mealtime then...the she could escape.

It was hours later when the meal of a few scraps of crust, and tidbit of an apple came all of which she ate slowly, and mannerly. There would be more where this came from once she was out, so to make it last longer she needed to eat slowly. The guard watched her the whole time, going on about something like how out of nearly all the experiments he had seen she as the best on the eyes, to even asking how her eyes ended up like a cat's. Like always she ignored him, standing as she cried the now empty tray back to him. Though as she stopped right before the cell door, and threw the tray at him he stepped back confused and shocked. The blast of air that came from her fingertips was powerful enough to blow the hinges off, as well as sending the man flying back. The iron of the bars sang as they hit the floor, though she ignored them and simply approached the man, sending the heel of her foot crashing down on his temple several times until he was out cold. Even this simple act was enough to make her feel free, and relieved. Now she just had to find her weapons, and the pantry. Humming lightly she felt her away about the man's body, finding the key to the door, and what felt like a scrap of paper. Hopefully a map. With that she limped forward, the cuts on her leg hampering her ability to walk slightly. Those humans would pay for the harm they brought her....

The key fit the door she had found, which led to a lit corridor. Lucky her the paper had been at least a map of sorts, even if it was poorly drawn. Yelling from above her told that there was no need to worry about the guards, or scientists. They had other things to tend to. At the end of the corridor was a set of stairs which brought her to the storage floor. Here she found room after room that was locked, only a handful of them that the key opened. One though proved to be a pantry of sorts which she happily raided of any sort of sustainable food. After filling her stomach she carried on, taking a few pieces of jerky with her as she continued to look for her belongings. Now though the hunt seemed easier, with her stomach calmed she was able to hear so much more. Taking a deep breath her heart lightened some. Silver, and leather. Could it be her items?! Ard aided her in knocking down the door to the closet, in which held shelves and shelves of boxes one with her name on it. Her armor was still intact, along with her weapons, and medallion. It felt so much better to get normal clothes on, and to have a weapon on her back. Letting a sigh of relief go she quickly headed back the way she came. The entire cave like place she as being held smelled of a bear, or maybe a troll either way it ment that there was exit to the outside. It took hours to find the blocked off section of the cave, bricked up so no one could enter or exit. Again Ard helped in her escape, knocking the lose stones down enough she could squeeze through them and escape. It was so nice to smell the fresh air, to feel the sun on her back again. This place was clearly not home, yet it did have a sort of appeal that home did. Now all she needed to do was find a way to get home.

(What did I miss and where are all the characters?)

(From my understanding, they all just escaped I think. Kasa just got out via a cave she was held in and is currently climbing down toward the river.)

(Squikky's characters escaped, Ivy(Meowtime) and me are right out the door, Orion and crow escepted, Bubble is in the vents, and thrust the dragon is living outside,)

(Thanks! I guess Kass is going to be alone for a bit then.)
