Terrible Sunset

## Part 1

Luci was sitting on big branch of the tree and was looking down. She at least had reached her long wanted dream, but she still didn’t felt fulfilled. She flew off the tree. She had to be careful when walking through forest as she had a big ravine next to her. Luci suddenly got a thought, that something really bad will happen. She tried to shake the feeling off but she still had in mind that her predictions always comes true.

Luci decided that she should get out of this place quickly, so she opened her wings and took off the ground. But something suddenly tightened around her wings and made her start falling into the ravine.

- It’s the end... – she said quietly. She closed her eyes and quietly said goodbye to everyone she had knew.

But out of sudden she heard wing sound of someone who was next to her. The person or an animal had caught her into their arms and wrapped her in their wings. She couldn’t recognize who that was. All she knew that they tried to save her.

She lost her consciousness after they hit the ground below.

## Part 2

Luci woke up after a while. She was lying on ground. She supported herself with her hands and raise a bit. She noticed that she had scratched her right elbow and bit of forearm, but she ignored the pain it caused her. She started to look around in search for her miraculous rescuer. She finally spotted them lying on floor not far from her. She noticed the big white wings, from which right one was covered in crimson of blood. She then quickly got up and ran to them. She pulled the left wing so it wouldn’t cover the person. She recognized the wings for being ones of an Avian. She then saw the face.

- Neron?! – Luci screamed almost at top of her lungs.

It was indeed Neron. So silent, so still, almost lifeless. She then in panic turned him to lie on his back and she put her ear to his chest.

He was alive. It calmed down Luci a bit, but then she realized that he wasn’t breathing.

She didn’t knew what to do. She started to panic even more.

She then noticed slight movement. He was breathing, but way more shallow than usual one. But still it calmed Luci down.

She put her right hand on his left shoulder and looked at him from here. He had few scratches on his face too, none of them looked like anything serious. She then looked at the wing. Right wing seemed to be broken, along with two deeper scratches on surface of it.

- I did not took the med kit with me.... – Luci said to herself. She didn’t had anything to bandage the wounds with.

- Only if Koya, Sash or Secret were with me right now... – Luci whispered.

- Wait, aren’t Avians capable of resisting a pretty long time while bleeding? – She suddenly asked herself.

- Neronnnn, wake up – Luci started trying to wake him up.

She repeated it few times without a success. She turned Neron then to lie on his side, so she could go search for something useful. She got up.

- As she was walking away she suddenly heard someone’s cough. She turned around and saw Neron supporting himself on his right arm and coughing. Luci then quickly ran back to him.

- Are you ok? – She asked thought the answer was obvious.

- Neron changed his position to be sitting in front of Luci. He groaned when he had to move his injured right wing.

- I.... I don’t think so – his voice sounded bit weak but it still had the old warmness that comforted Luci.

- We need to find a way out! – Luci said.

- How do you want to get out of like 16 feet tall ravine? – Neron snapped at her. His wing was hurting enough to make him be more irritable.

- I don’t... know – Luci was kinda scared because of Neron’s reaction. She knew that she could leave the place herself on her wings but she couldn't get herself to leave Nero alone.

- Heyo! – they suddenly heard from above. Luci looked up.

It was Secret Blade, who had called them.

- Need help? – Secret added. He threw a ladder down to Luci and Neron. Luci helped Neron to stand up and they walked to the ladder. Maybe it wasn’t an ideal solution but it was enough to them. Luci got onto the ladder first and then after her was Neron.

- You surely needed some help – Secret commented when Luci and Neron were already outside of the ravine.

- Now... to home! – Luci cried out while being still being slightly out of breath.

- Sure – Secret said, while Neron only nodded.

Secret took the ladder back up and they all started going to house.

- Hey Lee, we’re back – Secret kind of happily announced their arrival. Lee stood in the entry of kitchen and was looking at them. Smile on their face disappeared from their face when they saw Neron and Luci in states they were in.

- I’m sure Saphire will be able to help you with that – Lee said as Saphire ran out past them to greet Secret and others.

- Yeah! – She agreed loudly.

Saphire then led them to bathroom.

She took out all of the bandages they had in shelves and almost all medicines until Secret reminded her that they might need only some of the sanitizers and the painkillers. They then started to tend the wounds. First was Neron with his wing. They had to give him 4 painkiller tablets because of how weak they were. Saphire complained about how gross it was for her, but she gladly went to help Luci with her cut.

- Seems done! – Saphire happily exclaimed.

Then they all went to join Lee in planning about their jobs for the next day. Of course Luci and Neron got an day off for now.
