Silencer, Eyes, and the other kid, whom had fast growing antlers and satyr legs, were escorted to their rooms to get their things. Guardian, Vines, and Fox followed them to say their goodbyes. The tall siren pulled the small girl to his chest and broke down crying, which led to her crying as well.

"Don't leave me here," he hiccupped out.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."

They held the embrace until the slimey green and blue girl tapped Silencer, wanting to say goodbye as well. She hugged the shorter girl, the slime more solid than liquid. But that changed fast. First, her ears began dripping the lime green goo and then her arms and legs. The other panicked and pulled away, "are you okay?!"

There was a sniffle as Fox began melting into a puddle of sadness, hugging herself and crying. Not only would she go on to training, but she had to leave two very close friends behind. Vines knelt at her side and kept whispering to her that it was going to be okay, that they'd be fine.

None of them knew what Paradise really was.

She fell quite a bit, scraped her knees and elbows, but eventually she could hover long enough that she felt proud. Later, she would begin moving across the room, diving, gliding, and falling so she'd learn to catch herself. It took a few tries, some more pain, and frustration, but she learned through it all.

Thrown into the darkness, Eyes, Silencer, and the satyr boy were now on their way to Paradise by caravan. They'd been put in the back of an old semi truck, forced to sit and try not to fall or hit the sides. They held onto each other and prayed it wouldn't be bad, hoped that they would get another chance.

Little did they know, they would get the exact opposite
