Years ago, I was free. I didn't bother noone, noone bothered me. Till I muscled out of my home and taken to place of study due to the rarity of my species. For weeks, I slept in a cage, and when they would let me out, I was forced to undergo "scientific tests". All of mental, physical, endurance and essence. One day, three gaurds pulled out of the cage and locked my arms behind my back. " We got somethin' special for you beasty! " one said. I turned and snapped my jaws at him and growled. I was thrown into another cage with a door to the opposite side. After locked in, they cut my wrist restraints. Load trumpets rung with an echo, and the door opposite of me opened. " Ladies and gentlemen, we have a real treat for you this evening. A creature so rare, it's almost unheard of. I give you... SABRIEL! " I came rushing out to look around only to relize, I was standing in the middle of a colliseum. I'd heard about this... But I never really knew it existed. I had been sold to the T.O.G. Gaming Association, for sport. I was surounded by several others, not only intrested in killing me, but each other too. I relized if I wanted to live, I'd have to fight. I charged for the opponent directly across from me. No weapons or anything, but others were armed to the teeth. As I rushed him, I noticed something strange about this one. He had scars all other his body, white hair but a young guy, and looked a little unstable. Regardless, I lunged at him with teeth dripping. He dodged and I was soon under attack of another. Noticing my previous attackee was already busy with another fighter, I jumped on top of my current attacker. Wrestled to the ground I soon pinned him and tore his face off with my own teeth. I stood up to spit the flesh out of my mouth. I let out a large howl. The crowd... went... WILD... " They love this... " Insane I thought... I heard a shout from across the arena. " BEASTY! " That previous scarred figure was by the arena ledge, on one knee. Hands out I could tell he wanted me to take a jump off his hands and reach for the stone lip. Why he wanted to help me, I didn't know, but believe me, I took the opportunity. Being chased, I ran as fast as I could, sprung off his hands, and barely reached the ledge. I pulled myself up and looked back down and thought, " There's no way he can jump up here... He dosen't intend on staying does he? " Regardless I jumped from the ledge into the stands. Everyone began to flee to the nearest exits. I started for the nearest one myself. An important figure in a booth stood up and shouted " GET HIM! " I began running, trampling over people, and paused for a moment to see the young man that helped me was watching. And at the same time, he was charging essence to fend off the other attackers. His channeling backfired and blew a hole in the earth. Now, the colliseum was collapsing. I had to be quick. I jumped down a flight of stairs over gaurds heads. There was a stable out front... I could take the time to open a stable and jump on the horse, or, I could... I raised my right hand out, and with my claws, I cut through all the horses necks. I cruel act but I couldn't risk being followed, atleast not at that speed. I ran for the forest. I had made it in minutes. " What now? Where can I go? I'm wanted everywhere... " I waited til nightfall... I saw a party reaching the begging of the forest. 2 Human, one of which was past out over the back of a horse. He had a smoldering spiral scar in his right arm. Along with them, were 2 Rugan. |
