Era IV - Dystopia (Lucian's POV)

A Shadow Flower's muffled cries were carried throughout the asylum. She had been admitted when she was found wearing a silver cloak, one of the symbols of the rebellion. They had taken her in without remorse, but she hadn't gone done without a fight. Her glowing petals were scratched, and she was now in a hospital gown. The Guardians would mindwipe her before putting her in the arena.

Lucian watched from below the floorboards in her cell. They were cracked and loose, and she could easily escape, but she didn't. They would capture her and give her the same fate as the flower in the cart. Instead, she waited. Waited for her friends.

Lucian's hazel eyes flickered away and she looked over at the stone walls of her cell. She was classified as highly dangerous. Corrupted. That was the word. They said she felt no emotion, that she never felt anything. But she didn't care.

She crossed over to the other end of her cell, where hundreds of tally marks were written. She'd been sentenced to life. She carved one more tally in the wall, completing another set. Was this the final day? She hoped so, but it was unlikely.

Suddenly she looked up, hearing a scuffling. A Fire Pea looked through the floorboards at her with a recognizable expression. He burnt the weak wood quickly, and Lucian jumped back as sparks flew down at her. "Drake," she said, and he perked up. "Did Chase disable the cameras?" Drake nodded a yes and Lucian flew out quickly. They hurried down the white hall, with paint drying and cracking, revealing a sickly brown undercoat. The steel doors at the end of the hallway greeted them, wide open. The two plants hurried out.

A Nec'Rose who went by the name of Dysfunction gestured for them to get in her armored van. Drake and Lucian hopped into the back as Dysfunction closed the steel double-doors. A satisfying clang sounded, and Lucian and Drake were plunged into pitch black.

-- several hours later --

Lucian ran a hand through her somehow silky petals. Drake looked at her with an intense glare. "So what are your plans now, Lucian?"

Lucian smiled creepily. "Oh, I have so many things to show the world, Drake."
