The door of no return

By the wolf queen

Once there was an argent named feathers. He was smaller than the rest of the argents and was bullied by his big strong cousin beaky. Beaky and feathers were both in love with pretty bird and she loved feathers. But Beaky wouldn’t let feathers anywhere near her.

One day it was time for the annual argent fight. The argents would be on to teams and pick there best fighter to fight. The heir to the throne and feathers brother were to go up against each other. The heir was lighting fast but feathers brother was clever and so feathers brother won but at great cost. He killed the heir. The king argent was furious that was his only heir his sisters only son!

Feathers brother felt awful and feathers wanted to cheer him up. Come on he said let’s go to the lake for a swim tonight. You know we aren’t supposed to brother. Please just this once? He pleaded. Fine his brother said.

His brother sat on the beach while he swam and when he was going ashore to talk to his brother he was gone. Bro bro where are you stop playing tricks on me. He felt a stab in his shoulder and fell instantly asleep.

When he woke up he was in a cage with a ton of other baby argents. Then he saw his brother chained up and the feet of the argent king. Bro he screamed. His brother was beaten and bloody and had no wings. Do you want your feet cut of too said the king. Nooo screamed feathers. Very well said the king in one swift movement he had killed feathers brother right in front of him. He fell to the ground.

When he woke up it was the middle of the night. He looked around to see what had awakened him and saw an argent unlocking the chains that bound the young argents. The argent looked over And whispered I’m rescuing you it isn’t right what their doing.

They ran until they couldn’t any more but the other argents caught up and killed the argent that was helping them. He took the four young argents to a dark castle. He flew over the wall and inside it was filled with survivors. Ah they are here said one of the humans. These two shall be good for work he said pointing at the biggest. Those we shall sell he said pointing to feathers and the smallest one.

They led him into a dark cell that stank and it was filled with young argents and one plump adult female argent.

One day they took all of them aboard a ship. They were on ship for days without food and there were more young argents below deck.

A few days after that a storm raged and the ship sank. Feathers was panicking he turned and was flying away when he heard a voice calling him. He looked back and his cousin was in the water calling help me feathers and so he did and they flew home together.
