Chains of Sorrow

"So, what do we do now ?" asked Sita. Lông sighed. "Waiting. What can we do else ? I don't know about you but I've just no energy." Solaria nodded. "It's right I'm not on top form... One doesn't wake up fresh and disposed after having been forced to sleep." Calemvir grunted. "I refuse to give up !" "I'm not giving up, Calemvir." Lông replied. "Our chances to escape will be far greater once we'll have rested and get used to our bodies as far as those cages allow us." "Well, considered like that... You're right." Calemvir sighed.

Sita was still feeling dehydrated. She suddenly noticed there were two bowls in front of her cage. She made her head go through the thick metal bars and sniffed the bowls. One was containing water, and the other... "Erm... Is that supposed to be food ?" she asked. Solaria looked at her and looked in front of her cage, finding two similar bowls. She sniffed the one containing the supposed food. The content was more looking like a brown soup than meat, but it had a bit of the meat's smelling. "I guess so..." she answered. Lông and Calemvir also looked at their respective bowls, carefully sniffing the odd one's content. "Uh... Yeah, I think that's supposed to be meat. Hey my smelling became awesome !" Calemvir slightly smiled. "So did mine. And as far as I can smell it seems like there's nothing else than that... meat. I don't think it's drugged." Solaria smirked. "Drugged or not I don't really know if I want to eat this..." Lông shook his head. "We'd better eat this anyway. We have to regain some energy as fast as we can." He clumsily took a mouthful of the bowls content, not really at ease with his new mouth. At least he managed not to spill all the food on the floor. The red dragon munched thoughtfully. "Well, surprisingly it's not that bad. It's maybe far from being great but that's still food. I won't have any problems filling my stomach with that." He put his muzzle again in the bowl, and mouthful after mouthful he cleaned it entirely. Lông drank a bit of water to help the whole food to reach his stomach. Calemvir began to imitate him, licking his lips after the first mouthful. "It's right that it could have been far worse. I just wonder if it's because it's really not that bad or because our new bodies are up to eat nearly anything if necessary..." Sita also tried the food, surprised to see that it indeed wasn't disgusting like she feared it was. "Seeing it, I'd say the second option." she smirked, looking at the brown soup. Solaria didn't said a word and also dipped her beak in the bowl, eating its content. Soon, all the dragons had cleared their bowl of food and a part of their water, except Sita which drank it all. "Aren't you guys feeling dehydrated ?" she moaned. "I want more water !" "I would give you my water if I could. I'm sorry, our cages are too far from each other." Solaria apologized. Sita smiled. "Thanks anyway. It's great to know you've got someone ready to help you in those kind of situations." "Right." Calemvir nodded. "Whatever happens, if I ever find a way to escape I won't let any of you here." Lông smiled. "Sure thing. If we're going to escape, then we're going to do it together !" "Right !" Sita exclaimed back. "Though... I don't want to be pessimistic but we'll first have to find a way to escape." "Sure." Calemvir answered. "Let's rest a bit first, we'll see that when we'll be fit."

The dark dragon went back at the back of his cage, hidden in the shadows. The others only could see his bright and glowing green eyes. Solaria looked back and noticed her cage was far deeper than she thought. "Hey those cages are rectangular in fact !" Lông looked back in his own cage. "Indeed, I didn't noticed it. Yeah, got a sun ray in my cage !" Crawling back - the cages were maybe deep but not large and high enough to properly turn back - the red dragon arrived in a spot of his cage enlightened by some sun rays. She metal was slightly hotter at that place, and the sun was heating Lông's scales, making him feel a pleasure he didn't imagined. "Hum, that sun is great..." he said, beginning to purr at his own surprise. "Uh, I'm feeling like a huge cat... Hey I can't stop purring !" he exclaimed, an audible purr easily heard at each pause. Calemvir chuckled. "Whoever tries to come near our cage, I'm ready to show him the kitty has got sharp claws." "Sure thing." Solaria said from the back of her own cage. Being near the window, she had a soft and enjoyable breeze going through the rear part of her cage. "This really could have been worse..."

Sita slightly smiled, but she was feeling quite concerned by her lack of water. Looking at the rear of her cage, she sighed as she saw it was pretty normal. She would have loved so much having some water... Crawling back, she got surprised as she noticed the metal was cold. Coldness, the last thing she needed... Her paw suddenly slipped and her leg hit the ground with a wet sound. Sita suddenly understood. The floor was wet ! She didn't noticed it with the lack of light, but a small water pool had formed inside her cage, only about a dozen of centimeters deep, but it was water ! She lied in it, and sighed of pleasure when she felt the water hydrating her dried skin. "Yeah, water !" she yelled. She rolled on her back, wetting her whole body in the process. "I was feeling to dry... Well, I'll stay here. I'll try to keep my skin wet..." Lông yawned. "And this warmth is also pretty enjoyable. I'll sleep a bit." The dragon curled and yawned again before closing his eyes. Sita did the same, and soon Calemvir and Solaria imitated them. There wasn't much more to chat, they all wanted to rest in order to be able to have a chance to escape those cages.
