Yugure

Messages, Tears, And Winged Things

(Silver POV)
I had finally been allowed to take Blue out of the cage, instead of holding him I let him flap around from tree to tree.
I wouldn't last very long if that ever happened to me. I have a hard time remaining in the base for so long. Of course you have people like Wen, Lynn, and on occasion, Jay, 'You can't leave the base! It's too dangerous! You could be captured! Or worse, killed!'

I truly appreciated the protection, but I wanted freedom.

Philoso usually understood. He's the reason I managed to get out a few times. I tried to treat him like he was more than our youngest member, he was mature, interesting, and a good friend. Plus, it's kind of funny when he vents on about anything.

I was worried about him, many origins were in search of warriors, in youth. They could force him into battle, or sell him. He wouldn't be free, he'd be property, an item, owned, a pet. Speaking of pets...

"Blue?" I called out... He didn't come,

"Blue?" I repeated a little louder.

"Kaah!" Ok, falcon scream, bad. I saw him flying towards me, he perched on my head. He was scared of, or angry with something. I backed away from the area he came from, a mocking jay jumped out of the bush and landed at my feet with a paper in its beak... But, the symbol on it's back... Kanji... It was Philoso's bird.

"Adiva!" I screamed. I grabbed the note and Blue followed me.

"Adiva!" I yelled again and listened, where was she!? I put on the necklace, the hot pink wings grew quickly. I flew up, note in my fist.

"Adiva!" I yelled the third time.

"Silver!" Said a faint voice, to the north, I flew as fast as I could, I knew I was going to be sore by the time it was over. I landed, exhausted.

"Sil! What's wrong!?" I gave her the note. The mocking jay flew to her, Blue sat next to me. She sat cross legged on the ground for me to see as well.

"Dear Adiva, Lynn, and rest of Yugure,
By now you may have noticed I am gone. I intend to stay out camping for a while. Please do not worry, as I will be perfectly safe. Send this mocking jay back with your reply. Should you need me later, send Blue. He already knows how to find me.
Sincerely,
Philoso of Yugure."

He took my falcon and ran away, and he broke Jay's rules for taking Blue in and out of the cage, for the sake of him and Jay's anger, this has to be a prank. I looked down at Adiva, she looked like she was about to cry. I hugged her, sure I didn't know her as much as Ceridwen, but at least I can give her some reassurance.

She shoved her face into the grass. "My brother's gone!" She screamed.

"It's ok, he's only got the clothes on his back. Despite his independence, how long can he go?" I asked. She smiled.

"You're right, maybe we'll find him." She replied. I helped her up and on the way back, we talked about fighting Gladiators. I never realized how intelligent she was on this topic.
