Tawny the Brown Owl Aurora's friend was feeding Crackle a fish. He made a good second Father.

"Hmmm." he hooted and hummed as he flew back and forth visiting his own family at night while the baby dragon fell asleep after eating. He had a mate and a daughter who were calling. "Keewik!"

"Keewik!" He responds back in a hoot.

The females responded in hooting this time. "Hooo hu huhuhuhoo!"
"Hooo hu huhuhuhoo!"

He landed in his nest. His mate nestled into him and his very brown feathers while inside the tree cavity a hole in the trunk of a tree sheltered from the elements of wind and rain. Tawny's daughter's egg was laid on February 1st. It was the only child they had right now. She was over a month and half old her name was Fern and she was swallowing a grasshopper.

"I see you graduated from Worms, my dearest, Fern."

"Yep, she has done so partner, I bring grasshoppers back alive to the nest so she can learn to catch them, Tawny, mate." The Mother of the adorable owl family here.

"I'm glad Cinna." Tawny answered. It was a cute short variation nickname name for Cinnamon the color of which her feathers were naturally.

"Dadda!" Fern cries allowed immediately. "You're back you're back, Father help me learn to fly please, Daddy!" She squeals all aflutter in a hoot.

"Easy, Darling. We cannot rush into anything you're an owl and owls are masters of patience, quickness, silence and precision." hoots Tawny. "You're too impatient, dearie.

"I know and I want to introduce the Princesse to you. She's been my friend for 16 years and you have a half brother now that I need help with so listen to your Mother's flying instructions, Fern, and please try not to land in anymore unpleasantly smelling flowerbeds."

"It's an accident Father I didn't mean to end up in that pink rose dye stained my feathers pink." said Fern. See Fern's unrealistic appearance below because of her mishap in Flora's flower dye for Aurora's dress for her birthday ball at 16 years old.

Meanwhile Fauna was busy gathering petals. Iris petals specifically the only thing that could fight what Maleficent cast over that spindle Aurora had Philip keep with him in that box of course. Irises reversed the very effect of the daffodil sap. Daffodils belong to the Narcissus group of plants and are often mistaken sometimes for onion bulbs when just starting to grow. She was busily humming along as she picked many different colors of iris petals.

"Oh, hey Tawny, how's Crackle?"

"He's improving Fauna as a regular unspelt dragon should." The owl hooted to her. Fauna could understand the language of the animals from the smalls Cardinals, Bluebirds to the biggest oldest dragon Rubesco himself in fact the night King Stefan turnt the Vastok couple away from the courtyard, she flew after them. Adrian Vastok the First and her had a history before she found out he had a betrothed. That was the first and last time she met Florentina Vastok.

"You thinking about that spell?" asked Tawny.

"I saw the loneliness in her eyes, she wanted a boy to raise boys are more respected than girls in this time Tawny, Aurora is a strong exception." Fauna replied. "They didn't create little Adrian Vastok Jr. without my help."

Tawny shrieks as he saw the boy cousin of Murvin's creeping up on Fauna, she whipped out her wand as the Forest owl swiped and nicked him with his sharp talons.

Fauna saw the glowing key, the upside moon crescents in Brando's eyes glowing the same way. "Fini magique!" She flicked her wand twice and pointed it at the charm in his hands. The boy fell on the ground onto his back.

"Thanks, you and your family always know how to watch my back, Tawny."

"My wife didn't like that he was sneaking around, Fauna. Cinna knows suspicious when she sees it, Fairy Godmother."

Fairy Godmother she was as much Adrian Vastok Jr's fairy godmother as she was Princess Aurora's Fairy Godmother. That's scary.

She walked up to the boy. The heart rate was rapid. But he was breathing not in a relaxed way but breathing nonetheless.

"He'll wake up back to normal in no time soon." Fauna promised Tawny. "Finishing a magical spell should never hurt anyone at all, period, dear."
