Calla's POV
Shock was sketched upon everyone's faces. They gaped at my direction in utter horror. Even so, I felt somewhat relieved to discover that the Ventus refugees had successfully fled to safety.
How did I manage to stumble myself into this situation?
The last thing I remembered, I was jumping onto one branch and the next, hoping to find their missing member. I did find him, by the bathing quarters. I had been too reckless, thinking I could deal with him just because he wasn't holding a weapon like his fellows.
I recalled the feeling of panic rushing through my senses as I saw Shire and the other Everbeasts on a cage made of some kind of dark substance. The bars weren't even iron, they had some violet light constantly weaving around them. It was probably another kind of magic.
