My eyes are closed, I reach my arms out. Directly above me is a shadowy figure, Whom has pushed me off a cliff. As I fall, I search around me for an object to help me stay alive. I turn my head to look behind me, My wings have been torn beyond repair. This is where it ends! I am about to hit the floor, adrenaline flushing through my body. My eyes finally open, I'm swimming in a pool of my own sweat. It took me a few moments to realize that it was merely a dream. I take a sweet breath of relief, And lay back down. I turn to my right side, And smile at my sleeping lover, Candace. I turn towards her and close my eyes once more.

I heard a scream from outside the house, I turn to Candace and begin to shake her furiously. She wakes up in a long, Annoyed groan. I look outside the window to see what all the ruckus was about. There was fire set to a neighbors house! I shout at Candace "Get some clothes, We need to leave at once!"
"Wh-Why?" Candace questions. I push her towards the window and open the curtains with open arms. Her eyes shimmer at the fire, And she turns away. She begins to gather as much clothes as she can. I begin to help when a strange smell enters the house. That's the smell of fire!

I gather the last bits of food and water, And grab Candace's hand. I race outside the house with leather boots on. As we run I turn an eye back at the house, As we run I stare. The house was soon burnt to the ground. I turn my attention back to escaping the town. Me and Candace, Run alongside citizens of the town. To our dismay, there was a group is solders guarding the only exit and entrance to the town. Alongside the men, Are bodies. Too many to count. I turn down to Candace, her eyes flooded with tears. Who would do this? More importantly, Why? I flush the questions out of my mind, and focus on the mission at hand. I see groups of people charging at the men, So I decide to attack as well. People have gathered sharp sticks from the ashes of what was the houses. I can do without one, I run towards the men. Candace standing behind with several children and elders. As I run, I see a corpse, With a stick! I crouch down at the man, And close his bleak eyes. I take the stick and begin charging once more. I, as well as others, Attack the men. I run towards one, And Impale the stick into his abdomen. It merely affects him, and he tases me. My eyes begin to close, This is it. My final breaths. I manage a small, Faint smile and close my eyes.

I open my eyes, To see a small group of individuals. Candace, Fortunately, And two other people. A Demond, Who must have been able to fly over the walls. And- A short Korean lady...? I sit up and look at the three. "Where are we?"

"Ink monsters territory." The Demond responds.
