2 Chapter 3: Chyora

Chyora sulked outside the pound, suppressed emotions surged back to him, and memories floated about in his mind, teasing him with their knowledge.

The Neopian Pound.

His one most hated place. He would never forget how his owner drove him here, despite his crying and pleading, to be locked up in a cage. All for limited edition pets. He hissed in anger. Limited edition. What was so great about them? Only to be shown off like toys. The worse part about it, aside from the day being Shoyru Day, it was also his birthday.

His birthday…

*Flashback*

A small blue Shoyru tumbled out of the egg. He looked about him curiously. His owner stared down at him, before picking him up.

"Chyora. My Chyora." He murmured softly.

The blue Shoyru gave a small yawn, and was soon asleep in the arms of his owner.

*End Flashback*

Tears sprang to his eyes. He had spent a full year with his owner. His first owner. All the time he had loved his owner with all his heart. Sure, his owner was obsessed with rare stuff, but he had never treated him bad before. Later, he had gone on to get some limited edition pets. So he was paid less attention to, but it still wasn't so bad. His owner liked to show off, and Chyora was neglected in favour of the limited edition pets. Still, Chyora never flinched at the treatment he received.

Yet, he had been driven heartlessly to the pound, and his owner never once looked back.

*Flashback*

"Come Chyora." Chyora complied meekly, but his heart was full of hope. Perhaps his owner had remembered his birthday, and was going to celebrate.

"Follow me." Chyora had followed without question, wondering what was going on. When they neared the pound, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"No! Please, I'll train harder. I promise!" He shrieked. His owner looked at him in annoyance, before grabbing him and dragging him along.

"No, please. I beg you. Don't!" He cried, tears streaming down his eyes.



"I don't want you. A new limited edition pet just came up. Since the rest are already limited edition pets. It's you." His owner explained matter-of- factly.

"It's my birthday today! My birthday! How can you do this?" He screamed, thrashing about.

"Chyora!" His owner chided, extremely annoyed. He gave the Shoyru a slap.

Chyora stumbled back, his face stinging from the slap. He looked up in shock at his master. All the time, his owner had never hit any of them. He had been ignored, starved, but he had never hit him before. He cried bitterly, and was led blindly to the pound.

He barely noticed getting locked in a cage. What he did notice was that his owner was leaving.

"No don't! Please don't leave me behind!" he pleaded one more time. His owner walked on, never looking back. Dr_Death came over to comfort him.

"Don't worry Chyora. He did not deserve you. You will find someone who will. Be patient. It is your birthday and Shoyru day. One twice blessed will never be forgotten." Chyora did not listen, and sat in his cage, weeping.

*End Flashback*

So Dr_Death was right. He had found a new owner after all. His new owner was nice, sweet, gentle and caring. As unlike his first owner as could be. Still, there was one thing he was doing that she didn't know about. He was training for the battle dome. Alicia had frowned upon it, feeling that Neopets should not be made to battle against each other. When he was ready, he would challenge his owner to a battle, and show him what a mistake he had made when he disowned him.

He burned with a cold fury, body trembling with rage and grief. Unbidden tears trickled down his cheek, and he wiped them away irritatedly. He would prove his worth, and his owner would curse himself for refusing to accept him.
