Soren looks back down to see his best friend. His wing ached as he tried to move it. Kludd grabs Soren's leg and drags him back to the nest. Days had past and Soren was still in his cell and two guards are just outside the entrance and another two at the viewing point. He needs to get to Gylfie. That's the only thing in his mind. One night the little Elf Owl had a chance to deliver food for Soren to eat.

Soren turns around and hugs Gylfie "Gylfie!" Soren closed his eyes as tears are about to come out "Please, let's leave this Glaux forsaken place!"

Gylfie shook her head "I can't, Soren." Gylfie separated herself from Soren's wings "I made a deal with Kludd."

Soren widens his eyes "Deal?"

Gylfie nodded "Ever since the time we escaped, the guards have been doubled. If I leave, he'll kill you. And if you leave, he'll kill me. And if we both leave, the guards will pin us down outside the canyons and they swore to break our wings and leave us for dead." Gylfie looks back at Soren "Kludd told me that after two years of labor and after he succeeds with his plan, we can both leave."

"Gylfie, please let's think about some way to get us out."

Gylfie looks back at Soren and looks in his eyes "Look, Soren! The only way for us to get out of here is that we die!" Soren felt silent

"Sorry, Gylf. For getting you into this." Soren walks back to his poorly made nest

Gylfie turns to the entrance "Soren," Gylfie paused "let's just hope that we're gonna be safe." Soren silently nods

For days the two of them lost their freedom, for months they lost their hope of ever escaping. Soren soon joined Gylfie in picking up flecks and sorting eggs. Both of them showed signs of a relationship. Soren helps Gylfie in picking up the eggs and once the two of them were heard talking about finding mates. Kludd and Nyra did notice that sign of the two owls.

Nyra looks from her viewing port "The both of them are a lovely couple."

Kludd also looks down "Hm, they are nice subjects for thing that's bothering me."

Nyra looks at her disturbed mate "What are you thinking, dear?"

Kludd looks at the nest with a white orb in it "what if they have an egg? I mean is it even possible?"

Nyra churred softly "Well, you are younger than me, Kludd. But still we have an egg."

"But we are the same species."

Nyra patted Kludd's back "And they aren't. So don't worry about a thing. They won't avenge the Guardians once we're in control of the Owl Kingdoms."

Kludd nodded "You're right."
