The two owls flew over a hill with a small pond at the top. They noticed that beside it was a small creature that was furry and grey. Riyu flew down and quick as a flash scooped it up. It was a rock rat!

Plunging his talons through its skull, the two of them landed by the pond. They split the rat in two and were about to eat when the smell of smoke drifted up to them.

Fire! He knew what fire could do in this universe. He felt his gizzard tug at the thought of seeing it. He unconsciously lofted from the ground, following the smoke trail, leaving his half of the rat, and Rose, behind.

As he flew higher, he could tell there was a fire. Orange, red, and yellow flames sprung from the trees, licking at the sky. He was instantly drawn to them, soaring down to a nearby ledge.

"Riyu, wait!" Rose said, charging after him. She pounded her wings as she dove down, but stopped midair. She could tell there was a fire glistening in his eyes faintly.

With Riyu, he was perplexed. He could see an image in the fire. An owl with a strange stick with a faint fire at the end was charging at another, much larger, owl. The two figures were about to slam into eachother when the flames burst higher, erasing the image completely.

Snapped out of his trance, he noticed Rose beside him. "Riyu, what was that?" She asked, a hint of worry in her voice. Riyu took a deep breath.

"Rose, I think I have firesight."
