The winged human knew better then to protest. After 17 long years of the same thing day in and day out he knew better then to resist them openly, but he still hated them. He would get out sometime. He would escape and fly the open sky someday, but for now, he waited. He let them test, he let them challenge him. He let them push him harder. He saw it as training. His captors were training him for his own escape. He smiled at the thought, but only on the inside.
After 17 years of torture he knew how to hid his emotions, He was very good at that. He had a plan but he needed help. but he knew he could offer his assistant something they desperately desired; Freedom. He could carry one other person without to much difficulty.
