## Hero Spotlight

*Pain. Agony. Fear. These are the first sensations Caliban can remember, as he slowly awoke in a room filled with a sickly green glow, and the sound of voices, hissing and murmuring in a language he couldn't understand.*

Time passed as he drifted in and out of consciousness. He didn't know how long he lay there, trapped - all that he knew was that he was restrained, his wings pinned out uncomfortably, and that the beings around him did not wish him well. Their malevolence chilled him down to his quills, and he knew that he had to escape.

*Caliban calmed himself, and began to monitor patterns. Patterns to his unconsciousness. Patterns to the beings' behaviour. He knew that to have the best chance of freedom, he had to be patient. Eventually, he saw an opportunity to make his move. Feigning prolonged unconsciousness as one of his tormentors examined him, Caliban realised that his jailor was releasing his restraints. Using every ounce of strength and speed he could summon, Caliban leapt up and attacked the creature, and headed for the nearest window. "Don't look back, don't look back..."*

*Caliban soared above the lands, getting himself as far away from that cursed tower as he could. He saw a light in the distance, surrounded by ancient rocks - but it was getting smaller. Instinctively, he knew that the light was his best chance of evading the creatures behind him. He flew through, and immediately the air was clearer. The air was... home?*

*Adrenaline had brought him so far, but now he crashed into the soft ground. A figure stood over him - smaller than the creatures that tormented him, and beautiful, delicate wings spread from its shoulders. It kneeled next to him, and, on reflex, he flinched as it reached out a hand towards him. But as the hand lay on his brow, it was gentle and healing.*

*"Who are you?" it asked in a kindly voice.*

Caliban croaked. He could not speak. He did not know.
