Chapter 1: The Forest Plains

I had snuck away from the pride to go to the forest at night. I knew the consequences if I was caught, but still, the forest and the ocean next to it felt more like home than the savahna ever did. Sorry, I should probably introduce myself. I am Nachara, a female shadowmane whoes scales are blue and cyan and hints of purple in my teenage years. Mom says Nachara means Daughter of Mother Nature in an old world language, but im not so sure. The forest and ocean were comforting, and I can swim or sit in beauty of bioluminecence. Also, not far, was facility Zero Dawn, where a bunch of shadowmanes have been captured. I could spy on them easily without being seen. Winter, or should I say Alpha, our leader of the pride, forbid anyone from going near it in fear of loosing more shadowmanes. But honestly, I dont really care. Tonight I had climbed onto a tree branch with a view of the ocean, both lit up with bioluminecence, when a clamor caught my attention. I heard alarms from Zero Dawn, and a bunch of people yelling. I saw a tall masked figure run along the beach, faster than ive ever seen any survivors run. Then I saw several cars drive after the person and grab them before they could jump into the ocean. They struggled and I heard some snaps of bones, but the chasers injected something into them and they went limp.

"oh" I said, pitying them greatly. They must be one of the test subjects that those people test on. Sometimes you can hear the screams. It was always eerie. What type of animal would torture its own species, let alone be so heartless? When they had left, I started heading back towards the pride, for it was getting close to dawn. I snuck past the night watch, though I think they saw me anyway, just they understood why I kept leaving.
