( Falcon's POV )
Different. Abnormal. A disgrace. Traitor...forgotten. These words seemed to echo in Falcon's mind as he flew as far as he could from the Kingdom of Sand. His mind was a tornado, the only place he could speak his opinions. He had witnessed historical events, queens being overthrown, an entire war. He always dreamed of fighting in the Great Sandwing Succession, but he never thought the thing that would pry him from his tribe was an opinion. He remembered the event, trying to see if he did anything wrong.

It had been a normal day for me, I attended class, history. History was my least favourite subject as it included the long line of Sandwing queens in its studies. I didn't hate the idea of having a ruler, only that certain people could lead. I thought that if anyone could challenge the queen, they could have a much better and efficient tribe. Maybe I can change people's minds, maybe I can- "FALCON. " I was snapped from my thoughts when I heard my teacher, Rockmover's voice cut through the air. I looked up and saw him staring directly at me, walking towards me. "Lost in thoughts are we? My class is too boring for you? Have better things to do?" By now everyone's eyes were on me. Rockmover stopped in front of me, beckoning me to stand. "Perhaps you would like to share with the class your thoughts!" He motioned towards the class. I swallowed in nervousness before stuttering. "I-I was thinking about the Royal system..." I nervously answered in a weak voice. Rockmover made a sound of acknowledgement, waiting for me to continue. I didn't want to say anything, but the punishment for refusing to obey my teacher was worse, right? "I th-think that the royal system is..." Rockmover raised a brow, interested what I was saying. "The system is...flawed..." I shifted from talon to talon awaiting their answers. I heard the class erupt in whispers while Rockmover only glared. Rockmover raised his arm above his head, causing the class to immediately stop any noise they were making as I cowered under him. He swung his arm, his hand slapping across my right horn, taking a small chunk of with it. I screamed out in pain, clutching the injured horn as gasps escaped the students around me, some averting their gaze. "Traitors, as I'm sure you are aware, are NOT accepted here." He motioned to the door. "leave, NOW" I stared up in shock, they were asking me to leave over my opnion? I glared back up at Rockmover "Gladly." I turned towards the door, walking strongly, not looking back once. They want to get rid of me? Fine, their loss my gain.

I had no idea how long I was flying, but eventually it became dark and my wings ached, tired from the journey. I looked below me, taking in my surroundings. I was approaching the Rainforest kingdom's border. I had no idea what to believe they were going to do if they spotted me, so I flew down, as secretively as I could. I scrambled into a nearby animal den, only just big enough for me. What would happen if I got caught? Would they torture me? I knew the war was over, but I had no idea how the rainwings would react to me, I have never left the scorpion den in all my life...
