The Last Guardian - Misunderstood - book 2

Trico's aren't born with their cry stains and not all trico's have them, the cry stains only show up if they are experiencing extreme pain and suffering. Year's before the Master of the Valley controlled the Nest many trico's lived there, none had cry stains.
But time passed and the once cursed land grew over and Dormin grew too, now they were nothing but a AI that needed to be protected, Dormin found a way to control the whole trico species by using helmets that would connect to their horns and signals that would agitate them and tell them to go places against their will.

Female trico's would be used to steal children, the children were so called 'chosen ones', the way that the she trico's would find those kids would be by reflecting the color of the child's soul, if the color was a red color it was the right child. The she trico would swallow the child and bring it back to the Valley and feed them to the Master but the trico's didn't know they were doing this their natural instinct to regurgitate food to their young was being taken advantage of and they were being controlled to do this, they were unhappy but for each time they did this right they were given the only food source they were used to barrels of light.

Male trico's were controlled differently, they were never aloud to see out the Valley since their wings would be clipped when young, used for nothing but battle which rarely even happens they're stuck in a prison for most of their life and most of their wounds from battles would never be cured leading to them having diseases and dying, most male trico's don't make it passed two years of age because of the lack of nutrition and room to grow they get.
there is a myth that once a trico gains it's cry marks they don't come off, but witness the story of a trico named Demon loose his cry marks and get over his injuries with his mate named Angle.
