It shuddered to life. The heart beat under his fingers. It breathed. Wings drummed against the mould, trying to break free. In the centre of its chest, a ball of rainbow coloured light shinmered, so bright and beautiful it almost blinded him. A pair of bulbous eyes opened, a deep shade of indigo. Curious, they stared at him; unsure, afraid, uncertain. It pleaded, to be set free.

What had he done? His master would be furious. They weren't meant to be alive.
