"I'm Luminero, and this is my sister Shiara.. I'm pretty sure we'd both like to go home now…." said Luma.

Cassian glanced down at Lakin and patter her shoulder lightly "This is Lakin, She's my little sister and she is currently asleep." He grinned a little and rolled his eyes "As if that wasn't obvious.."

Damian sighed. Trying to settle back he began thinking about how they'd get out. But just then the wagon stopped. A few minutes later he heard some men chattering outside. Then he heard someone fumbling with the lock on the door.

"Here we go again.." Cassian grumbled, shaking Lakin lightly to get her up.
Lakin groaned and sat up, opening her eyes slowly as she looked at the door, scooting closer to Cassian.

Damian watched as the door opened and a couple of men climbed in. One of them grabbed shiara roughly tossing her out. Then he did the same to luma..
The second went for lakin. Then went for him. He landed with a thud rolling onto the ground. One of the men hauled him to his feet while one more held Luma and Shiara.

Ryker and Cassian were tossed out after Damian, roughly being pushed to their feet. Lakin started to run to Cassian but on of the guards held her back. "Cassian!" She yelled, her eyes filling with tears when she couldn't get to him.

Damian stayed silent. Looking to luma and Shiara to get them to stay quiet too. Looking around he saw that they were in some kind of ancient ruins. There was stone rubble everywhere, the only standing object was a large archway. Looking around he saw two people coming their way. One was and older man. The other was a guy about his age. The older one motioned to the younger one and the younger went off to so something near the archway. Then the older one came up "well now we have some fine specimens dont we?" He asked of no one in particular " I do hope you enjoy our world." And with that he nodded to the younger, who proceeded to open a portal in the arch. One of the thugs began dragging Luma and Shiara towards it. Another began dragging him toward it.
(We can do whatever now.. imma seriously just making stuff up. :D)

(oke)
Lakin was pulled after Damian, leaving Ryker and Cassian standing and watching the others. "Damian!" Cassian shouted, trying to force his way to her "Take care of Lakin if I can't go with you! Please?"

Damian tried to nod as he was pulled in. But he saw two more thugs coming for Ryker and Cassian anyway. Coming out on the other side a pair of thugs released the bindings on him and tossed him into a see through cage. Looking around he saw the Luma and Shiara had been separated and put in similar cages.

Ryker felt himself being pushed forward and he almost fell on his face, stumbling and catching himself just in time. "Hurry up," The thug grumbled yanking Cassian along as he pushed Ryker. The other guard walked behind the two quietly, watching them closely.

Damian got to his feet and summoned his aura. He launched a pair of shadow bolts at the wall of his cage but it didnt break. He then stood calmly and watched.
"That ones smart." Said the young man from earlier.
"He doesnt appear to be much older than you" joked another man in white robes.

Ryker was tossed into a cage a few feet away from Damian and he groaned as his head hit the wall of the cage. Cassian was thrown into a cage next to Lakin and she leaned against the wall of her cage, smiling weakly and trying not to freak out.

Damian stood quietly, watching as the older man came through and sent the rest of the thugs back.
"Well now we have some fine specimens now dont we?" Said the older man (now known as guy1) to the younger one (now known as guy2) with a chuckle.

"What are you using us for?" Ryker asked, trying his best to not freak out. Cassian whispered to Lakin calmly. Lakin nodded and then shook her head, wiping her eyes on her shirt.

"Research" said guy1 as he came over to Damian. "You some years ago we had contact with a kingdom in your world. The kingdom of Cayana Dairo. We used portals like the one you just came through to do buisness with them. But one day a few years ago we lost all connection. It's only been a few years, but upon return we found their cities in ruins and most of the population in that realm is very different from what we knew. Now what we wish to do now is figure our what happened." Explained the man.

cayana dairo?! That kingdom is ancient! We could have a ton of trouble getting our of this.. thought Damian as he tried to keep a straight face.
( feel free to add to this in any way you like! :D)

"That sounds so tragic but it has nothing to do with us." Cassian rolled his eyes and glared at guy1. "What do we have to do with any of this?"

"We want information from several sources" said guy2.
"What kind of info?" Asked Damian. "And why would you take a couple of kids?" He gestured to Luma and Shiara.
"As I mentioned before, much of the Nelvaron population has changed to a kind of people we no longer recognize. A people most refer to as halfblood. In order to reestablish relations with Nelvaro we wish to study your kind. And as for taking the children I can assure you that as long as they cooperate they won't be harmed." Said guy1

(Feel free to use the two strangers too!)

(Oke)
"You can assure me that? Really? I bet that as soon as one of them starts crying that they will be harmed." Cassian growled, tensing up visibly.
"Cassian, take a chill pill." Ryker said quickly "Also, weird dude, I'm not a halfblood, I'm a human."

"You three might be fully human…" said Damian. "But me and the twins arent." Said Damian as he glared out the cage. "And believe me if you hurt them you're in for trouble beyond belief"
"I already told you, no harm is meant to become of any of you." Said guy1
"And as for you three, " said guy2 gesturing to Ryker, Cassian, and Lakin. "All we need from you is information."
(If you have questions about nelvaro or anything for that part just ask! Or you can improvise (which is preferred).. after all there is a whole other continent i havent developed yet..)

(Oke :3)
"About what?" Cassian said, still tense. He looked over at Lakin and saw that she was shaking. "Can you please let Lakin share a cage with me? Can't you see that she's terrified?" He looked hopefully at guy1 who sighed, looking back at guy2.

"About what happened to Cayana." Said guy2 as his colleague moved Lakin into Cassian's cage.
"We want to know what caused the civilization of Cayana Dairo to turn into ruins." Continued guy2
(Btw Cayana Dairo is an ancient civilization in Nelvaro.)

"Probably a war, or a famine, or a natural disaster.." Ryker said quietly, looking at his feet as he thought about what could cause a city to be destroyed like that.
Lakin gave Cassian a hug before sitting down next to him, still shaking slightly.

"Probably?!" Said guy1 "what do you mean probably?!"

"He means he doesnt know." Said Damian
"and you do?" Asked guy 2
"Yeah. Everyone who has any sort of wolf blood does.."

Ryker looked up at the guys "You forget that I'm not from this world. I have no clue what's going on and I'm just saying what I think would happen."
Cassian nodded and looked at the men as well "I've never heard of this Cayana but I think that Ryker is right, those are the most possible causes."

"You guys have no clue how far from the truth you are." Piped up Shiara.
"And how would a small child like you know what happened?" Said guy 1 confused.
"Cayana Dairo is ancient history. And if anyone knows ancient history it's those 2" said Damian.
"And as for what happened to Cayana, well the answer to that is simple. Cayana Dairo fell from its golden age in a huge war with the hunters. The hunters had figured out ways to get into the palace as unbonded Riders. Or riders who had lost their bonded. Then with that kind of infiltration they were able to locate all the weak points and start feuds between clans. With the clans at war the hunters were able to successfully launch a surprise attack. When the clans finally realized what had happened and were able to work together again.. well.. he clans were nearly destroyed. And thousands of riders died. The rider tradition died out Cayana Dairo and the wolf packs were formed." Explained Damian.

"So basically a war?" Cassian asked slowly, a small smirk on his face. He looked at Lakin and watched her calm down, glancing up at Ryker for a moment as well.

"Pretty much" said Damian.
"And how is it a rogue like you knows and they dont?!" Asked guy1 incredulously.

"See, Ryker was right," Cassian declared triumphantly, a small smile on his face "Ha."
Ryker looked up and gave Damian a weak smile "Told you."

"In basis yes." Conceded Damian. "And as for me knowing more than them it's because of my bloodlines."
"What bloodlines?" Asked guy1
"Do you see the red in my hair?" Asked Damian tugging at one of the many red streaks in his otherwise pitch black hair. " this is a sign of royalty and leadership in the Nightshade Wolf Pack. And by universal pack law all leaders future, current, or otherwise, must know the history of Cayana Dairo."

"Royalty? Are the twins royalty as well?" Cassian asked, curious. Ryker looked back at his feet, going silent.
