Sightless passed around the bars. He hissed at the aggravating wire bars under his talons, witch slightly bent down as he passed. For once, he was happy he was blind. He would practically die seeing how high up there must be. He laid down next to Scorpion. She had told Sightless about everything that had happened the day before. Sightless twitched his whip-like tail. He had to get out. He couldn't face the reality that it was beyond his capabilities though. He laid down and drifted into sleep. He opened his eyes, he was back in the arena. Shadow sat there, waiting. "Ahh, back again?" Sightless was silent. "Today's a big day," Shadow acknowledged. "Mmhm" Sightless muted. " Shadow looked somewhere past him. "The fires casting quicker than I imagined," Sightless looked behind him but saw darkness. He felt something nudge him. "You alright?" It was Scorpion, he was awake. "Yeah..." Sightless sighed. A dragon shook the bars. "Get out! Burn wants you immediately."
