In the haunting grip of a sorcerer's spell, I found myself imprisoned within the confines of my own memories, the past I had longed to forget. The cage that held the birds, mere inches of paper, seemed insignificant, yet it possessed the power to unhinge its lock and release those haunting creatures into the world once more. As I stared at them through the window, I felt a chilling sensation course down my spine, for it was not the birds that terrified me, but the memories they represented.
Outside, a flock of these creatures soared towards me, their horns glinting in the darkness, a stark reminder of the demons of my past. I had fought hard to escape from the clutches of those memories, and for a brief moment, I believed I had succeeded. But now, as they came hurtling back into my life, I felt my soul begin to crumble.
