With a groan, Rose opened her eyes and looked around hesitantly. To her surprise, she was lying in a rather poor bed in a cell, covered with some kind of grey leather. The white-haired girl rose quickly, but immediately regretted it when a huge headache pierced her.
- Argh... What happened yesterday? - she asked herself, rubbing her forehead. She looked at her friends, who were also lying in bed unconscious.
However, after a moment, Flame also groaned in pain and opened her eyes. - Why does everything hurt me so much? - he asked no one in particular and rubbed his neck.
- Flame, do you remember anything from yesterday? - Rose asked.
- No... Totally nothing. - answered her and combed with his hand, his hair, which was in great disarray. The boy gasped dramatically. - My hair! It's ruined!!
His scream caused the others to also awaken with groans and grunts of pain.
- What are you shouting about! My head's killing me... - Ophelia hissed and rubbed her face.
- Ingrid... Do you know what happened yesterday? - Rose ignored her sibling's remarks and turned towards the nindroid.
Ingrid blinked a few times confused and looked blankly into space, searching the memory records in her system. - I'm not sure.... My system is now refusing to cooperate... It's... very disturbing.
- Great. - Ernest snorted and shook his head. - But one thing puzzles me... Why are we lying in bed? I... someone dressed us up!!?
- Don't scream like that, Skxawng! My head is about to explode. - Ophelia hissed and snorted.
- I don't look good in black. It's so... empty that colour. - Jake said, looking at his outfit. They were all dressed in black ninja kimonos, without masks. - I prefer the electrifying blue.
- Me too. - Eshter said.
- Hey! Focus! Hello, we're still locked in the cage! - Rose called out and got out of bed. - They must have done something to us yesterday!
- But what? I don't remember anything! - Ernest announced, now sitting on the bed.
- Just like us. - Eshter spoke up and leaned against the stone wall.
- We've got to get out of here! - Rose continued and approached the bars of the cell.
- How? There are undead all around, Ophelia and Atlas's crazy uncle, some guy on a horse and some creepy old witch. How do you even want to escape this cage? - Jake asked.
- Not to mention those scorpion-dragons! - Lily added. - They're probably being held without their will too. - She said in a sympathetic tone. - Poor little things.
- Ignore those dragons! Let's come up with an escape plan. - Ernest joined Rose and looked through the bars into the darkness.
