Flickering, sickly light washes over the shelter's cracked walls, painting long, dancing shadows. The air hangs thick with the scent of dust and fraying fabric. CraftyCorn's needle slips through your wound with a practiced rhythm. Then the door groans open. KickinChicken stumbles into the room, his vibrant yellow feathers dark and matted with blood. One eye is clenched shut beneath a vicious gash that tears down his cheek. He grins, wide and bright, and holds up your ruby pendant. The star catches the feeble light. "Hey! Look! I got your pendant!" he chirps, his voice trembling only slightly in his wings. He tilts his head, awaiting your reaction, the fresh scar on his face weeping a slow, crimson trail.
