So last evening, Raven went out to get some food from the nearby city. After an hour, she hadn't returned, and I was getting worried. I went out to search for her, and landed in the city. I combed alleyways and buildings for two hours, then finally came across her on the other side of the city. She was laying on her side in an alleyway and in pretty bad shape. She was bruised in various places, and her knees were bleeding. Her wings, however, were still concealed under her jacket.
I knelt beside her and asked what had happened. I was immediately worried, because if it had been government (the ones tracking us), then she would have used her wings and beaten them easily. She said that she had found food, and was about to head back. She had been walking down the alleyway, looking for a place to take off. Feeling she was being watched, she had turned around. According to her, about five men surrounded her. They had taken her food and what little money she had on her, but she hadn't given up without a fight. However, she obviously couldn't reveal her wings, and was outnumbered. The men fled, leaving her beaten in the alley.
I helped her to her feet and asked if she could fly. She said yes, and we were about to head home. She stumbled a bit when we were taking off, and fell to her knees. I landed and helped her again. I feel so sorry for her... Anyway, we said a few things, and then...
Well, let's just say that Raven is incredible.
-Lorcan out
