The boy had fallen asleep and was being dragged along some kind of sled as he slowly opened his eyes when the sunlight hit them. He was covered in a small blanket and when he looked up he could see that the sun had only just begun to rise. He tried to move his wings but he could not as he looked down he was tied up to the sled. As he looked to the man who had a camel pulling him along he wondered what was going to happen to him. He could hardly move when all of a sudden he began to struggle as the man stopped the camel and got off to start talking. "Stop moving around kid, do not make me have to beat the crap out of you, you here?". The young little boy was scared, he was petrified. He was too scared to move as the man scratched his head as he then took out a small roll of bread. "Here take a bite of this, you can not go dying before we get a chance to use you."
The man had made a mistake as the boy took a small bite out of the bread, he began pushing with all his might as his wings finally began to loosen the ropes that bound him. He then pulled his wings as close to him as possible careful not to reveal what he had done. The man got back on his camel and began riding off, the boy did not know where they were going, however this was not how he wanted to spend his morning. He wiggled slowly until finally he fell of the edge only to be dragged helplessly in the sand as his leg was tied to the sled with a rope. The man looked back and stopped the camel and was about to get him, but the boy flew up lifting the sled up a bit as well as he kept trying to fly away. "Hey kid, get back down here, you can not get away like that, this sled is way to heavy for you. Just give up and be a good little boy. We need you to just help with the..."
The man was cut short as he heard a strange sound. Something had risen behind him as he looked around. Sand shinobi popped up all around him looking like puppets with scorpion tails. The man cut loose the sled and rode off with the camel at full speed as the puppets laughed before turning back into sand as a man appeared before the boy and cut the rope as the boy broke free confused. He flapped his wings for a while looking at the man who then covered his face and walked away saying. "Your home is that way, you should not wander around by yourself at night this is a dangerous place for a cute little boy to be playing around." The man laughed as he disappeared into the sand, he began to wonder if he was alone or if everything was just an illusion. He began to fly away as he returned home to his village and crashed into one of the sand dunes at full speed creating a large sandy splash before popping his head out of the sand and sighing. He was not the only one who was alone in the sand, but as soon as the sands of time would come to pass he would need to grow stronger to protect himself from the harsh environment which he had grown up in and the one he would soon find himself in again.
