The Anger of a Protector
Zora awoke, Ugh, what happened? Zora tried to get up but stumbled; oh my head, he thought as he stood up, Lilly! His mind suddenly clicked. He glanced around; the festival had cleared out, and it was about the middle of the night; he frowned, Damnit!

Lilly sat up, looking around, "Hello? Zora, what happened." She looked around before getting up off the bed she was lying on; the walls around her were stone brick, a metal door was the only exit. Obviously, a cell, she crossed the room and checked the door, Locked. She stood up on her tiptoes and peered out through the barred window, a white corridor, one she recognized. She backed...
