You love her, do you not?

∽⚚∽

The following day Shadow flew aorund the hallow of the pure ones looking down at the guards working and the little owlets being pickers. She hated doing this, but her father was the king before her. He didn't like it either, but they had no choice. But when the little owlet Soren and his friend escape, Shadow will follow them to the guardians and join them in destroying her "base." She didn't have anything to lose. 

The white female owl soon found the place where Nyra trained the owlets. "You mustn't feel sorry for them down there. As lower species, they are fortunate to serve a higher cause. As Tyto owls, their natural superiors... you, too, are part of that plan. When the Pure Ones rule, one that will soon bring order to all the owl kingdoms... when the Pure Ones rule. A new and noble era will dawn. Now, prove your greatness... and rise. Higher! Higher!" she called just as a shadow landed beside her. Kludd noticed her and flew higher, glancing somites over at Shadow to see if she watched him. she did but also oversaw the other owlets. a smile was steady upon her beak. She felt eyes upon her but didn't shiver. She knew his gaze. It was a Metal beak. His faze then turned to where the bats flew around, collecting flecks. She could hear his voice and narrowed her eyes in anger. She hated what they did. "Once we have amassed enough dots, we will set a trap. Then it is up to you to lure our enemy into their rightful place, into our claws." then a new voice she didn't know nor had heard before answered. "And then the western kingdoms... and the Tree - those will be mine." she heard metal beak agree to give the owl his word. a smirk then dawned upon her knowing that the lord high tyto wouldn't hold his expression at all.

But she didn't care about that.

"you love her, don't you?" Nyra suddenly asked Kludd as he and she were alone for a private talk. Nyra couldn't get that one question out of her mind, so she had to ask him. at first, Kludd was silent, shocked, and didn't know what to say. Why did she ask that? he thought, but soon he buffed his chest up and held his head high. Nyra knew that gesture. It means "yes, and what are you gonna do about it?" many owls did that when they didn't want to answer with words. she sighed. She didn't have anything against it, but she knew that if Kludd died or teh another way around, they would be heartbroken. She closed her eyes, then opened them and turned around, taking into the air, and flew away, not saying another word. So Kludd was left confused and alone. He sighed and looked out of the hallow's entrance. He could easily spot Shadow. she sat upon a ledge not far from where his brother was picking pellets. His eyes darkened in jealousy. So it was him she was supposed to watch and smile o all the time. He shook his head. What had become of him? Yes, he was jealous that his little brother got more attention than him, but he shouldn't be over this. He barely knew the female. He sighed and took off from teh hallow and towards his own, where he would sleep for the night.

Shadow sighed as she watched the selectors pick the specks out of the pellets. Soon it all would stop and burn, she thought and spread her wings taking off into the moonlight and towards her hollow. Tomorrow she would be shifting to her proper form. Every year under the full moon, her true self would come forth, and she would have to choose what she wanted to do with it. She could go on a hunt or free owlets like she had done these past few moons. She was a phoenix in white fire. She was the last of her kin and the strongest. Her duty was to mend broken people, make strong the weak, and, without hesitation, defeat evil. And she would do just that when the time had come. Curling up, she thought about the good time they all would have when the pure ones were defeated. She would return home to her family to see her friends and be the right full queen. The queen of the birds of the earth. A deep sigh rippled through her body and her blue eyes closed. teh days would be challenging, but she would endure and help those who were broken. She would be their salvation. And sometimes, kill Metal beak.
