Waking, Demare, Prana and Raven find themselves surrounded by glass. They appear to be in a glass cage in the middle of a room. In the room around their cage are three chairs, one per wall, with the last wall instead holding an open door.
The cage is open at the top, but the top stretches up almost to the ceiling of the room, with only a crawl space between.
What will the three Legends do?

Demare opened his bi-colored eyes slowly, feeling as though he'd been asleep for days. His body was stiff and it was hard to move for a moment, everything spinning. What happened? The last thing he remembered, he was in his room, looking for a book to read. This... was definitely not his room. Somehow, he managed to brush his hand against his right side, feeling the empty sheath that hung from his belt. Mordonath wasn't there.
Well, s**t. This was just ******** DANDY.
It took the halfling even longer to realize he wasn't alone. There was Prana and Raven, also in the same odd "room" that they appeared to be trapped in. Was this some sort of cage...? It reminded him of that time he and Mayu had been kidnapped, and stuffed into a glass cell. Tapping a loose fist against the glass, he figured it would be safe to say that it wouldn't be easy to break.
Carefully, the teenager began to stand himself up, ignoring any of the aches and pains he felt as he tried to take in the surroundings.
"Hey... are you guys alright?" Demare asked with concern, wondering if either of them were even awake yet. He watched to make sure they didn't need any help.

Prana awoke slowly, her eyes taking some time to adjust to the sharp light hitting her square in the face. It was a reflection of some kind. She peeled her cheek off the glass it had become stuck to and slowly sat up, rubbing the side of her face that had become slightly numb. It didn't feel bad, or even uncomfortable, but it was definitely odd.
Her neck was stiff as well, probably from sleeping in a strange position on the floor. Putting one hand on the back of her neck, she turned her head in both directions, blearily taking in the glass walls, the chairs, and the two boys in the room, one unconscious, one not. And the one who was not looked somewhat familiar.
"I think I'm okay," Prana said softly, moving her limbs experimentally. They all seemed to work. That she might not be okay never really occured to her, and for the moment she saw no reason to worry why such a question might be asked, even taking the strange surroundings into account. That she, and the others, were okay, was good enough for her.
Then again, she wasn't sure that the other boy was alright. And the one who had addressed her, she did know him, if not the sleeping one. "De... Demare. Is he okay?"

There was a great fire roaring and Raven couldn’t see beyond its flames, he seemed to have woken up to his house ablaze. The smoke was choking his senses and his eyes felt like they were bleeding. A great boar ran into the room and opened his mouth, and bees came spilling out filing into the room. The eyes of the boar that were sewn shut started to open revealing two mouths. “PU EKAW!”
“What?” Raven replied very puzzled.
“EW AKUP!”
“What?”
“WAKE –
Raven sat up with a small jolt. His body ached and his head was spinning. He slowly swung his head around and saw two blurry blobs rather close to him. Drowsily he wiped the drool from his cheek and motioned to stand up, but collapsed from his own weight and lack of balance. “Ugh. Drugged. Must have been drugged.” He put his palms to his eyelids and rubbed. “Who’s there? My eyes aren’t working right.”

As Raven fell back down after trying to stand, Demare quickly made his way over to him, kneeling down beside him and offering help to the bird legend should he have wanted to accept it. He assumed that answered the girl's question well enough, turning his monochrome eyes to her for a moment.
"My name's Demare, and she is Prana," he answered, wondering if perhaps the older man had been more heavily drugged due to being... well... older. "We seem to be in a bit of a tight spot here."

As soon as the unfamiliar Legend sat up, Prana wanted to hurry over and make sure he wasn't hurt. Instead she reached out one hand hesitatingly, inching foward just a bit. "Are you feeling alright?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "Can I... do anything?"
Just what she might be able to do she wasn't completely sure. But something inside her just had to ask, to know.
As she was introduced, Prana nodded and looked around again. "Where are we? How did we get here? Where are the others?" After all, she had come from a pretty packed house. That she was the only one moved to wherever the three of them were was hard to believe. But all those things were sort of irrelevant, she supposed, when faced with the real question. "What should we do?"

“No, I’ll be alright.. I think. Looks like no one knows where we are.” Raven leaned back to rest his back on one side of the cage. Sill rubbing his eyes and blinking lots, whatever was done really did a number on his system. “So Demare, Prana.. heh.. nice to meet you?” Raven started laughing to himself. “This sucks.”
These past few days have been really inauspicious, and from what I can tell it seems like the trend will not be lifting soon. Raven silently thought to himself. And to top it off, I can’t really see where we are.. sigh.. relying on strangers.
“So is there any way out of here?”

Demare eyed the surroundings for a moment, noticing the small crawl space near the ceiling. It looked like something Prana could get through easily, but then he and Raven would be out of luck, mostly thanks to their wings. Outside of the cage, there didn't seem to be any levers to pull on... There were only chairs and a door.
Cautiously, the halfling pushed on the glass a little bit, testing its thickness. It MIGHT be the only other way...
"There seems to be some space up toward the ceiling, but... I have a feeling Prana's the only one who'd be able to get through it. Granted, we could try, but the only way up would be to fly, and if she's the only one who can get out that way, that's... a fairly big drop."
He studied the bird man for a moment, figuring it would be a safe assumption. "You don't seem to be in any condition to fly, either... I can barely manage my own weight. So unless there's a magic button I'm not seeing somewhere... It's either up--" He knocked on the glass again. "--or through."

Prana silently agreed with Raven. It definitely sucked. But thinking that wasn't going to help anything. She looked around, taking in the chairs and the glass, but before she noticed much more, Demare's words caught her off guard. Her gaze darted up to the opening in the ceiling, then back down frantically. "Me?" Her voice squeaked, betraying her nervousness. It wasn't so much that she was afraid of trying, but if the others were depending on her and she couldn't afford to make mistakes. Taking a deep breath, Prana closed her eyes, opened them again, and looked at the crawl space. "I could try. But how would I get up there?"
At least she felt a little better on the outside after taking a moment. She wasn't shaking at all, and her voice was even. But inside she was still tense, and afraid that if something went wrong she would snap in two.

[how big is the cage we're in? I'm going to assume it's tiny XD]
Raven's eyes were blurry at best. "Well that's no problem, I'll just fly you up there." Ravens wings shook and suddenly expanded rapidly out from his back. THUNK! THUNK! "OW... ugh" Both of his wings rammed into the sides of the cage and crumpled on impact. "I guess this place is kinda small" He retracted his wings back to their smaller state and messaged the areas that collided with the wall. "How far is it to the opening? Can you climb up there on my shoulders?" Raven sat back down. "Maybe magic?... But it's kinda useless if I don't know what it is I need to use it on." Raven suddenly started rummaging through all of his clothes. "Crap... if I had some chalk we could have drawn a door out of here. Looks like they-he-she-it took all of my stuff."
"You know, there's a bad omen amongst all of you. There's something wrong. I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you all. Truely...
er...
Anyways, we should really get out of here."

(I have a question too! @_@
Are there lights? And if there are, are there any inside of the cage?)

Demare couldn't help but wince himself as he heard the sound Raven's wings made against the glass walls, idly glad this his own were just small enough not to hit any nerves. The man was right, though; they did need to get out of here, and the halfling had just about enough of the cramped space.
"Alright, I'm sick of this ******** cage," he grumbled, giving the glass a hard punch with his right fist. It stung, but he didn't care. "Can't fly out, it'd be too dangerous to break the damn thing..."
His monochrome eyes wandered upward, judging the circumfrence of the cage. Maybe it could be possible... It was a slick surface, but with enough pressure...
"Maybe we can climb up."
Jumping up a little bit, he quickly slammed his hands and feet against the wall, sliding down only a little bit before friction took over and allowed him to stick. Okay, part one was easy... Now for part two. Carefully, he slipped his hands upward, doing his best to do an odd kind of pull up to force the rest of his body with him, making sure to keep his feet firm against the glass when his arms were loose. Gradually, Demare climbed upward, as slow as it may have been, but certainly made some sort of progress.
He hoped to be able to see just how wide the gap really was between the cage and the ceiling as he got closer to the top.

"Oh, be careful!" Prana extended a hesitant hand towards Demare, but then withdrew it. Maybe it would be better if she let him go about scaling the sleek walls alone. He certainly looked like he had a handle on things, and she didn't want to get in his way and mess things up. She also didn't want to be under him if he happened to fall, but there wasn't all that much room to move in the cage they were in. All she could do was back up until she was pressed against the glass wall.
It was then that she saw the chairs. "What are those?" Prana asked, putting one hand flat against the wall. "Was someone... watching us?"
