My eyes opened slowly and looked at the burning sun above me. Causing tears to form at the corners of my eyes. I stood causing a dull pain in my hip, my fingertips brushed the burnt skin on my hip. A few tears fell, this is going to be my life now.

     I had been walking for what felt like hours, my feet stung from the repetitive impact of my feet on the compact dirt. The only sound to be heard around me was the leaves and sticks breaking below my feet, it was almost peaceful. But a loud snap behind me stopped me in place.

     My palms sweat and my heart thumped. I knew that wasn't just an animal, the volume of the noise was way to loud. I turned around to see grounders, fully equip in furs and leathers. My life flashed before my eyes as a grounder ran up to me with a knife in his hand. Time slowed as the grounder inced closer to me. I lifted my elbow to his nose, causing him to groan and hold his nose. A scream of rage behind me notified there was another grounder coming for me. Two to be exact and one was now charging at me, ready to attack with rage from me inuring his friend. His sword was taken out of it's hilt and swinging at me. i jumped back as the sword neared my stomach. He growled as her grew angry from how long it was taking to kill me. He charged at me sending his fist into my stomach. I cried out in pain as my back slammed into the mud. The grounder approached me, his blade out and ready to taste my blood. I felt my palms scratching as I used them to back up until me back hit a tree. The grounder continued to approach as I sat, backed up against the tree. My hands roamed the ground around the bottom of thee tree, desperately looking for something to aid me in my fight. I sighed in relief as my hand grazed a rock. I enclosed the rock in my palm as my attacker crept forwards, unready for my method of defense.

     "Lets make this quick." He growled as he sent his sword toward my face.

     I let out a battle cry as my rock made contact with his skull, sending him crumpling to the ground. A smile found it's way to my lips as I looked at my success. I had lived another day. But the sun wen't black before I could celebrate anymore.

     I awoke with a gasp, sitting up quickly. I noticed two pains coming from my body. My hand and my hip. My hip not only from my previous inquiry, but also from the hard ground. I looked down to my hand that was pulsing with pain. My hand was about two times it regular size, bruises stretched across the skin. I reached out my left hand to touch my knuckles, I immediately withdrew it as I hissed in pain. My heart pounded as I remembered what was happening. I looked around me to see I was surrounded by iron bars, rusted at the corners. Footsteps were heard approaching my cell. In front of my eyes was a man with raven hair. He called something in a language I couldn't understand before turning and walking away. A woman approached accompanied with two guards. She nodded at the guard on her left who reached forwards and unlocked my cell. The hinges ground as the door swung open. The woman who looked like royalty approached me, her brown eyes glared into mine as she opened her mouth to speak.

     " What are you doing here sky person."
