"Gylfie, Digger and Twilight" I raised my shaky old talon to my, now, singed beak. "It's been awhile since I've heard those names." I closed my book and adjusted my old mentors battle claws.
"Yes, they requested to meet you at ummm. The palace of mists?" The young great horned messenger owl scratched his head nervously as he peered into the eye-less dent in my head. I laughed thinking about when I first met Ezylryb, I was a young Barn Owl with my whole life ahead of me. Oh, good times!
"Ok, you're excused. Please notify the parliament, tell them I'm leaving." I pack up my most cherished belongings, The feather of my dead mate, the battle claws of my mentor, and the very ice scimitar that killed my nephew. "Oh! and tell Cory that it's time."
The Horned owl sighed and nodded. I turned and watched the setting sun.
I could hear the harp ringing through the tree. I picked up my botkin then waited. The sweet voice of Mrs. Plonks daughter could be heard everywhere. As she sung the last verse of her "Day is done" song I prepared to leave. I left a note on my desk.
I knew I wouldn't be coming back. At least not alive.
