We flew for about a minute untill we reached it. Then the next thing I knew, we where at the landing 'area'. "DROP THE OWLETS!" The owl screatched, then we were dropped but its a good thing I can branch but I was until an owl knocked me out of the glide and I spun and plumited a 5 foot drop. I landed on my back and I thought I heard my spine crack. It felt as if some owl took a rock and slamed it onto my wing.

"LEO! Are you okay?" Snow worryingly asked.

"I think my spine is broken. I just fell a 5 foot drop." I respond, starring up at the dark grayish, redish sky with thunder out in the distance.

"We saw!" Koal slid into the conversation.

"I think I can get up, but I'll need help moving." I squeak out.

"ALL RIGHT! Everyone Listen! QUIET! You all are know classified as orphans. A tragedy, I know." The one owl that carried Snow squawked, "Now, those of you that are tough and brave enough, and loyal enough, will be solders."

"If we just show loyalty, bravery, and strength, we will be able to escape!" Koal whispers.

"Keep your voice down! We don't want anyone to know of our plan!" Snow responds quietly.

"I think that will work." I agreed.

"Let's divide them apart. All who want to serve the high lord, go over there! Those who don't, go next to him." The big owl screatches, and points to the other owl.

"Alright, everyone who is serving the high lord, follow me." The big owl screatches. All the "loyal" owls followed him into a dark hall cave area. The rocks moved under our claws as me slowly stepped along the hall. "We're here."
