Running Out of Time

By: Doggys235

Gylfie flew quickly through the air, her heart pounding and her mind racing. She was far off from the Ga'hoole Tree, and she had to fly quickly. "Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Remain calm Gylfie, you are a ryb now. You can't let yourself panic. Just deliver the message to Soren and calm down." She said to herself, before being grabbed by the tail.. "What message?" A calm voice voice said, staring her in the eyes. "TWILIGHT LET ME GO!" She shrieked, fidgeting in the Great Gray's talon. It was impossible for gylfie to break free, for his large size overpowered her small Elf Owl stature. She paused for a second, pondering on what to say. "Fine, but I can't tell you yet. Just let me go and follow. I have to deliver it to Soren." Gylfie gasped, catching her breath. For such a tiny owl, trying to escape took a lot of energy. "Fine, but you better not run or lie." Twilight said sternly, glaring at her. "I promise, or you can pluck out all of my flight feathers. One at a time." She laughed, flying off towards the tree. "WAIT UP!" Twilight yelled, taking off to catch up.

They flew over the salty sea, the ocean waves splashing up near them. "AGH!" Gylfie screamed, as she yeeped and plummeted towards the sea. "Gylfie! Gylfie! What happened?!" He yelled, flying down. He grasped her body within his talons. Gylfie coughed, still startled from yeeping. "…It was the hagsfiends." She sputtered as they turned their direction to a large mass of black creatures.
