"So, how long have you been here?"

Renaissence snarled angrily at even the thought of how long he had been stuck in a stupid cage. "A long time." Chimera nodded.

They had both been normal animals before, living their lives happily without a worry about anything. Now, they were both trapped in tiny wire spaces that made Renaissence's paws hurt. "Same here," said Chimera. Chimera was a young tiger, about the same age as Renaissence, who had also been captured. Renaissence liked to call him Kai, and Kai liked to call Renaissence Ren. It was much easier to both spell and pronounce. They had just met, and were initiating conversation already. Ren lived in a cage with an arctic wolf named Midnight who was always either sleeping (and loudly snoring) or trying to get Ren to play with him.

Kai had arrived with a Ty, a horse who cared only about his appearance and not the fact that he was imprisoned and likely going to die. Midnight rolled over in his sleep and yawned loudly as Ren prepared to reply. Rows of cages next to the animals rattled as thumps rang out from across the room. The silhouettes of two phantoms appeared, carrying a cage where something was smacking into the wires and bellowing in anger as it failed to break the metal. The phantoms uncomfortably placed the cage down next to Ren's cage and backed away before floating away from the cage and to the door. The animal inside paced angrily. "Hello," said Ren nervously, waving. A tiny snout poked out from inside the bars. Wide eyes opened too as a head popped out. A tiny raccoon, shivering crazily. "H-hi," the little mammal said. The cage shook and the raccoon tumbled to the other side of the cage. He slammed into the side and whimpered. "SHUT UP," roared a voice. A huge lion stepped forward from the end of the container and growled at the raccoon, who backed herself into the corner and closed her eyes.

"Looks like you have some new neighbors," said Kai.
