I think so//

(That sounds good. Like one of the council members start?

The forest was quiet. After all, it was the middle of the night. Sari was out cold, her small body slumped against a tree. In her limp arms was a tarp, bound by a thin rope. Blood was dripping from above her eyebrow, and smeared on the gold chain around her neck. The scent of fresh blood had not yet attracted any creatures of the night, as the girl cried out incoherent words in her induced slumber.

It had been my turn to go out and patrol the edges of the forest as well as hunt. I stalked a deer with my bow drawn, I fired my arrow and caught it in the neck but it ran so I gave chase. I barreled through the woods following the blood trail till out of the corner of my eye I spot a blob clearly unnatural. I put away my bow and pulled an axe off my hip as I crept closer. it was a young child tied at the hands. It seemed that they were unconscious so I put away my axe. I figured that she couldn't survive at least not like this so I put her over my left shoulder and held tight as I made my way back to the other members of council.

(Awesome, but could you change the POV? You don't have to change your post, just for future reference)
Sari stirred as she was slung over someone's shoulder. She slowly came to, finally aware of the stinging in her wrists. She struggled and screamed frantically, unable to form coherent words. She thrashed and flopped to the ground, trying to get up and run, but her legs failed her.

He let her go as she tossed. "easy now child, easy,I'm bringing you somewhere safe so please calm down." he spoke in a deep but soft tone. He reached out to her and gently put her over his shoulder again and held on tighter. "you have been banished and now you are a scoundrel like all of us in these woods." he tried to catch her up on where she was and what it meant for her. "we have a code here little one. Respect your fellow scoundrels, harbors are to still be treated right, and we help our fellows in need, just as I am with you right now." He told her as he stepped through the woods.

Sari's energy was sapped, she mustn't have eaten in days. She cried out again, her blubbering sounding something of a foreign language. She blacked out again, her muscles going slack, her grip loosening on the tarp.

Luna sat at the very top of her favorite tree in Lo forest, looking up at the stars. She found her brother's favorite constellation he had always pointed out to her as a young child, and she smiled. Suddenly, in the quiet of the forest, she heard a blood-curdling scream. She grabbed a branch above her and leaned towards the scream, straining her ears. She was surprised to discover it was the scream of a child. There weren't any children in Lo. She heard a soft, rumbling murmuring, which she knew belonged to Ramus, whose turn it was to patrol and hunt. She heard another soft scream, then silence. She climbed lower in the tree, waiting for Ramus to pass her by. She heard his soft footsteps and saw his large mass -and the small figure draped over his shoulder- and silently dropped to the ground next to him. "Who is that?" she asked.

"I have no clue, she has yet to say any real words. I'm taking her back she must be starved." He said as he listened to her unsteady labored breathing. "What are you doing out and about?" He asked softly since the child was sleeping

(So sorry y'all but imma leave this rp. Sorry!)

(Oh okay, dang. See you another time!)

Raven left the shack after hearing the yelling coming from another person. She hoped it wasn't the harbors at it again but when she processed the sound, it was almost like a young child was now in the Lo. It must have been a new scoundrel because no where in the Lo was there anyone under the age of 15. She quickly but calmly ran across the place in search of this voice hoping that they hadn't gotten hurt. The noise suddenly stopped and now she was getting more worried even though it wouldn't show on her face. She saw two council members and a young child on one of their shoulders. She heard snippets of what they were talking about and put the pieces together.

"What are we waiting for we have to find a place for her to stay at."

"She is coming back to the council first, we need to figure out want to do. She needs a foster parent if she is to survive." He retorted as he redajusted her on his shoulder. He knew this would be a heated debate which he didn't want but he also wanted everyone's opinions. He stepped through the short grass signifying that they were close to the council building.

Sari awoke, and tried to pound on the man who was carrying her's back, but had no energy. Meekly, she babbled words that no one could understand. Finally, she spoke clearly. "Lemme go!" She whispered hoarsely. "I don't want to die.."

Sora sauntered towards where the commotion was coming from. Sighing as she made it to the council building, she noticed a mere child, bloody and tied up. She hoped that the child would be alright but at the same time worried if the young child would become a Harbor based on them already being tied at the wrists.
"Who might this be?" she questioned, ignoring the pleas.

"we have yet to get that. So far all we got is 'lemme go,' and 'I don't want to die.' She is exahsted and needs to rest for a while i'm sure, so one make something for her to eat." He said as he laid her down softly on a bed and then used an axe to cut her free. "And a wet rag!" He called out.

Sari tried to sit up on the bed, but fell back down shaking. "I-I-I-I'm—" she didn't get to continue as she started convulsing.

"Don't try to sit up. It'll only make it worse." Raven said while bringing over the wet rag. "We can get your information later but now you just need to rest."
