The Silver nodded before signaling a few of the others. They moved over to LiSen and red and both boys got a good look at just how tall the Silvers really were- they towered over them. One reached down- scooping up LiSen and alarming Denum.

[Uke]

"Its okay," Q told Denum, gently. "They are taking him to their medic. I trust them... no matter what they may have taught you, they are peaceful people. They do not want to harm you."

"We don't really have a choice but to trust them," Aireio told Denum. "Alright, I'm in."

She squeaked as she was scooped up by a second Silver - this one female. Another picked up Denum.

[Mint]

"Hey, hey- I can walk!" Denum protested, but he was carried off all the same.

Red was taken up as well and the group began to move. They slipped into the brush like a passing wind.

[Uke]

The Silvers spread their wings, but instead of using them to fly, they used them like propellers - shooting forward at speeds only Red could match.

Soon enough they were leaving the forest and coming up along the cliff that Red had almost toppled off of. He looked on in horror as the creatures carrying his friends dove off the side and the one holding him followed.

They glided down a good twenty feet before landing in a small entrance to a cave. The Silvers ducked inside and began to move quickly again, navigating the many tunnels easily.

[Mint]

The caverns were like a labyrinth in the cliff- vast and confusing. It wasn't long before they had all lost a sense of their bearings and were at the total mercy of the Silvers. Denum wasn't really aware that he was clinging to the one holding him. Red was more used to this kinda propulsion.

[Uke]

Eventually they were set down in a large cavern and groups of Silvers crowded around them curiously - a lot of them children... or so they assumed, since they were smaller then the rest.

They split after a moment as a pair approached - a male and a female. From the looks of their beaded necklaces, they were of some sort of importance.

The woman was over in a flash, pulling Q to herself and letting out a sob.

[Mint]

The male seemed much more intrigued by the other while the Q was held. What the hell was going on here?

"...The numbered ones." The male murmured with a thick accent as he checked LiSen's sleeve. "Irma...they let you out to play?"

"Play?" Denum frowned.

Red watched the female hugging Q tightly.

[Uke]

Pulling away after a moment, the woman then pulled Red to herself, before reaching over and tugging Denum and Aireio close as well. "My thanks, my thanks!"

"Um, what?" Aireio gasped.

"Assah, he is hurt," Q told her, motioning to LiSen.

"Of course," She breathed, before shouting at a nearby Silver - probably telling him to get a medic.

[Mint]

"Q, what the hell is happening?" Denum demanded. "They understand we're human...right...don't they even sense what we are."

"We do." The male said. "You are...from the wall place...the numbered children."

[Uke]

"Why are you helping us?" Aireio breathed.

"You help us," The woman informed, motioning to Q. "Give Prince."

"You can't give him to your Prince!" Aireio cried.

"No, no... she means that you gave her the Prince," Q informed.

[Mint]

"When?" Red asked with a frown.

"Ho-ly shit." Denum's eyes shot wide. "No way."

[Uke]

"Wow... Red, you are so dense," LiSen giggled - still being cradled by one of the Silvers.

"You're a Silver!?" Aireio cried.

"Yes," Q informed, as if the answer was obvious.

"And a Prince!?" She continued.

"I guess I am," He shrugged.

[Mint]

"What, a Silver!?" Red gaped.

"Jesus Christ, we had one at the facility!?" Denum burst. "Since when!?"

"Fourteen years!" Red shot back.

"No way!" Denum blinked at Q. "What the hell were they doing with one."

"Trying to figure out how to kill it better and faster." Red replied.

[Uke]

"You're both dense," LiSen sighed. "How do you think they kept getting DNA to merge ours with?"

"Wait a second, you said that kid was your brother!" Aireio pointed out.

"Luda?" The woman piped up in shock. "Luda is alive!?"

[Mint]

"With how he was killing everyone else, he might be the only one left alive." Red replied.

"DNA...they were..." Denum blinked and sank down to his knees. "With...Silvers?"

"They do not tell them anything." The male told the female- looking very displeased. "They know nothing."

[Uke]

"They planned to use them as weapons against you," Q told the man. "Because their weapons do not work."

"Why do they need weapons?" The woman asked. "What have we done to them?"
