Chapter 2

Orange light was glowing through the hole, and the smell of smoke was in the air. Corvi strained her head up as far as she could see. Suddenly, the rock moved, rolling out from over the hole. The old red argent she had met earlier stood in front of her. "You're letting me out?"

The old bird shrugged. "Flink's gone. I see no reason for letting you starve down there." She climbed up and looked around. The nests were destroyed. The little home the flock had made was up in flames. Smoke covered the sun. "What happened," she asked, looking back to the argent in front of her.

"What's you're name?" he asked, ignoring her question.

"Corvi," she responded.

"Can you fly well, Corvi?"

"I suppose so."

"Good." He began to walk off, checking nests. "Name's Riot. Help me out, will ya?" He gestured to the nests around them.

"What am I supposed to do?" Corvi asked, walking up to a burning nest.

"Look for anything. We don't want any hatchlings left behind."

Corvi walked around, peeking in every nest she saw. Every once in a while, an argent would fly in with a little argent in their talons. Corvi kept looking. She had reached the outer ring of nests and was about to turn back when a quiet squawking caught her attention.

[TRIVIA: Riot is Redwing's little brother! I thought I'd pay homage to my red-winged friend. Also a little lore for you I guess since that means Redwing was originally from Scarlet's Kin.]
