Puppycorn awoke to the scent of fire (had someone been smoking? Ew...) and laughs of many people. He groaned and tried to stretch- freezing as his arms stayed in place.
"W-Where am I?" He cried- the laughs around him getting louder. He heard someone whisper something and then the laughs get farther away-
"Oi. Boss said I gotta watch you- so that's happening now." the gentle yet gravely voice came besides him. Puppycorn jumped and gasped. "W-Who are you?"
The voice groaned. "Please, call me Goggles." it said to the blue pup, who nodded in response. "M-My name is Puppycorn! It's n-nice to meet y-you, G-Goggles!" He barked, his voice shaking from being scared.
Puppycorn couldn't tell, but Goggles smiled.

Unikitty paced around her room. Who would've blinded her brother and why? He hasn't done anything bad...
Was it because he was related to her? Maybe, he WAS a prince..
Was it cruel irony? Maybe, he HAD been walking the streets and likely got pulled into it, somehow...
She shook her head, trying not to remember the scene, how she found her brother in a puddle of his own blood, but the memory was fast returning.

When Puppycorn hadn't returned to the castle that night, Hawkidile had gone out to search for him. When Hawkidile came back that night with no sight of him, Unikitty took searching for her brother into her own paws.
She shook her pink fur, the light yellow coat she was wearing due to the pouring rain weighing down agaisnt her body. She groaned, the rubber yellow boots over her blue paws slapping against the wet pavement.
Her eyes wandered the wet, dark street, searching for anything that could help her find her younger brother...
The scent of something metal caught her dark pink nose, and she sniffed the air. It was coming from a nearby alleyway.
She slowly looked in- the smell blasting her face. How had no one noticed this, or at the LEAST looked?
The red spots on the floor made her stop. They led up to a body, curled up in a ball. Whoever it was, their fur was stained red-
She ran over and froze as she took a closer look at the body. Their face had a giant burn mark scarring over their eyes. It was clear their eyes were damaged beyond repair-
And then she noticed it,
The horn.
Puppycorn.
