Rain fell in heavy drops which softly pattered on the the leaves. The leaves were very small, and great trees sprouted from the ground, their ancient gnarled roots look like they could come alive and throttle any unlucky animal which happens to fall close to them. An active tiger moth fluttered under the leaves for shelter from the rain.
Just then, a bright-furred bat swooped down and shackled the moth then swallowed it whole. The brightwing was a newborn named Owen. Owen always loved ambushing and eviscerating tiger moths at their source. He swooped down and snatched up a beetle, beetles were, by far, his favorite food. He breathed in the scent of the forest, more than anything he loved the smells of the forest, the tanginess of pitch, the rich smell of soil, but in the rain, the scents were dimmed dramatically.
So far, Owen had already eaten some delicious insects, like many beetles, and even about five tiger moths. Owen didn't like the rain too much, unless if it was a thunderstorm. He was very daring, he loved to drink water from the roaring waterfall near his roost. Sometimes it swept him down and made him swim back to shore; and who knows what dangerous animals lived in the perilous rushing water of his stream!
Owen opened his mouth to gulp in some drops of rain. He was a fast flier because of his long and narrow wings, but it didn't make it easy to navigate through the forest in one piece. Owen landed on a dangerously thin branch that leaned over when he roosted on it. Just then, he heard flapping around him. He sprayed out sound and painted pictures in his minds eye. There! A flash of bright fur swirled around him and land on a branch beside Owen. It was just Osiris, a male brightwing newborn who was one of Owen's best friends.
"I seen the way you swooped down on the tiger moth stealthily! It couldn't even use its echo tricks! Epic evisceration!" Osiris exclaimed
"Yeah, it was pretty awesome," Owen murmured, staring into the rainy night.
"Anyways, I heard the dawn chorus, lets go back to 'Haven"
Both of them called Tree Haven just Haven for short. Together they rocketed back to Tree haven, talking about ways they were going to annoy other bats in the tree. They both thought it was funny to annoy many bats until they just bellowed at the two giggling newborns.
"There!"
Owen wasn't sure if he or Osiris said that, but he didn't care- in front of him was Tree Haven.
