Laval woke up in the midst of the night. The moon wasn't visible, yet the stars shined brightly. He tried to get up, but instantly fell to the ground in pain. He decided to get back on his bed...
Eris woke up at 2:00 AM. She had another nightmare about the accident. She lay there, in her bed, listening to the nightly insects. Later she got up and jumped off the Spires for a dark flight. She nearly fell to her death, for her wings didn't work anymore. The only thing that saved her was..."Who are you?" she asked the flying creature. He had wings, but his red mane represented a lion. He didn't speak, but just carried her to the ground. The stranger himself didn't land, but instead flew off towards the horizon. Eris wanted to follow, but couldn't fly. Then she remembered why: The Sacrifice!
Eris arrived at the hospital at three o'clock, yet Cragger was already there. Laval was awake, and in a very good mood. "Good morning Eris!" smiled Laval when Eris hugged him. Cragger also looked happy. "You sure you're alright?" he kept asking though. "Of course. Expect my legs, it's like nothing happened."said Laval, adjusting his position to hide his new wings.
It took a while for the three friends to adapt to their new life. Laval secretly hid his new wings, but he had to use a wheelchair. Eris couldn't fly, so she had to take the secret, long, stairs. Cragger learned how to swim...like a duck though. Then, one night, Laval fell asleep, and was revisited by the strange Voice. He saw Eris and Cragger, but neither of them saw him. "So...Laval has awoke , aware of your sacrifices. Yet, this is all..."The Voice faltered as Eris and Cragger were forced from their sleep. "Oh well..." sighed the voice. "I was going to tell them that their sacrifices were not physically real. They just need to believe they can fly, or swim." Laval was going to question his wings, but the morning sun forced him awake.
