“Ok this is what's going to happen. Dove and I will talk to people. Luna, Sapphire, you two need to size up the competition” Cobalt announced.
“Hold up, why do I have to size up the competition? I might want to talk.” Sapphire grumbled.
“We both know you don't want to do that. Besides, you would probably try to kill someone and we need to make a good impression. Dove is talking because she made a good show last time. She must have caught some people's eyes last fight.” Cobalt explained.
“I don't know what I'm supposed to do though. Remember? I've never been to one of these before.” I said nervously.
“Well that explains why your manners are so atrocious. Luna has no people skills but is pretty polite so she can teach you.”
“THIS IS STUPID!” Sapphire yelled after Luna corrected her for the fifth time. “Why do we have to learn these stupid things! Why can't I just kill them!”
Luna sighed. “Because you all need to make a good impression if you want to get out of here and not be forced into next year's arena.”
“Well if you're so perfect why are we still here!” Sapphire yelled her hands tightening into fists.
“Because of Frost. He sabotaged any chance we had by his awful manners.”
Sapphire glared down at the ground “Fine.” she muttered.
“Let's take a break. We are all tired and hungry. So let's focus on making lunch instead of fighting.” I advised.
Sapphire went to her pond and Luna went to tend to the garden. I grabbed some lettuce and tomatoes. I cleaned Cobalt’s sword and used it to cut the tomatoes. Then I handed out the makeshift salad and we all ate.
We went back to the cave. I used my wings as padding just like last time and we all fell asleep
“Don't talk to anyone at the gathering.” Raven was back.
I in the darkness again.
“Why not?” I responded. What did he know?
“Trust me. If you do, you'll be sold.”
“Yeah but I'd be out of the arena and so would the others.”
“You don't understand, they'll clip your wings!” Raven screamed despreatly.
“...Clip my wings..? No. Why would they do that?” It didn't make any sense.
“It's true.
Once you are on their property they will make sure you never fly again.
Luna will be in a cage.
Sapphire in a fish tank that is far too small,
and Cobalt will be kept barely alive for his venom.”
“You don't know that! That wouldn't happen!”
“I warned you. Don't make me take it into my own hands”
