Disclaimer: I don't own anyone so sad.
Soren outside of his hollow, not able to sleep, stood on a branch thinking of his old Ryb, He thought of being absolutely horrified when he found out he was in the collering chaw. He remembered dreading the first night of class. Now Ezylryb was sick and the only one who new anything about health and sickness was at the Glauxian Brothers Retreat he had just finished studying and had tended to Eglantine not long ago. This was different though the nurses of the great tree didn't even know what to call it. Eglantine just had the flu, but Ezylryb might be dying. Soren thought of Gylfie at this time and decided to pop in her hollow and talk, but of course they'd have to talk somewhere else besides her hollow because a new owl just arrived at the great tree and Soren didn't much trust her.
Weaving his way in and out of the branches of the tree he finally arrived at Gylfie's hollow "Gylf, you awake?" Soren whispered while poking his head in her hollow, Gylfie did not reply so Soren spoke a little louder this time "Gylfie, are you awake?" after Soren said this he heard a voice, but they were whispering also, "Yes Soren what is it, is it Ezylryb." Though this voice was low Soren knew it was Gylfie. "No Gylf, it's not Ezylryb well kind of, but he's okay it's me, can we go somewhere to talk." Soren had replied and by this time Pelli had woke. "What are you doing Soren at this time in the day?" Pelli said while looking up at Soren and turning her head towards Gylfie who was now getting up to talk to Soren. "I just came to talk to Gylfie you can go back to sleep." Soren replied with disgust, while Gylfie was getting up Pelli went back to sleep.
"Where do you want to go Soren?" Gylfie asked hopping out of the hollow knowing what the answer was. "Let's go to the library." Soren said while looking down at his long life friend. Arriving at the library of the great tree Soren looked around and said "Gylf," then he paused for a moment and started the rest of his conversation, "I don't know what I would do without him." Gylfie comforted her large friend who she loved so very much. "Soren, its okay to be upset about this we all are hurting during this time." Soren now picking up one of the books Ezylryb had once told him to read, flipping through the pages said, "He told me to read this book one time and I actually read the whole Frinking thing and I actually enjoyed it, he was special like that." Soren looking at the books on Ezylryb's desk turned to Gylfie as she was talking "Soren he is special to all of us, but you know who he thought was most special in this tree including now." There was a moment of silence between the two. "I have no absolute clue Gylf." He looked away thinking of what Gylfie had just said. "Soren I am talking about you, you are so special in his eye's that is why you are his ward. He doesn't think of anybody else the way he thinks of you Soren, he is like a father to you and you are like a son he never had. Great Glaux I can only imagine what you are going through." Gylfie said very defensive. It was getting darker and the two were talking of how much they loved Ezylryb and how he had helped them so much and they couldn't wait to thank him for that. It was getting darker and it was time for Octivia's regular check throughout the hollows so Soren and Gylfie flew back to their hollows.
Soren flying back into his hollow found Digger restless "Oh glaux Soren you scared the FRINKING DAYLIGHTS out of me!" He said shortly breathed. "Its okay Digger I just went to visit with Gylf, we went to the library. What is wrong you look as if you just saw a scroom." Soren said with a churr. "Well, I had know frinking clue as to where you were and I didn't think I could cover for you this evening I mean Octivia's been on your case lately and I just went into panic mode." Digger said more calmly this time. "Well I am back and don't worry everything is absolutely fine." Soren said taking his large wing off of his friends back and heading towards his nest. Octivia didn't make her normal rounds and Soren thought nothing of it. Throughout the night Soren thought of going to the Glauxian Brothers Retreat, but he did remember Cleve saying something about going back to the Ice Talons. Sore did not know what to think at this point he could be at either location he thought on it real hard and then he had an idea.
As Soren set down and completed the table with Chaw of Chaws said "Hey, guys we need to talk later on somewhere in private." As soon as Soren completed his sentence Gylfie followed and returned his gesture with a low voice also, "What is it Soren?" then a pause at the table for a moment, "it's about Ezylryb isn't it?" Otulissa finished up the whole thing at least she didn't talk to loud where everyone could hear her thought Soren. "Now, what is the Chaw of Chaws going to talk about in private?" Mrs. P. added "Well Mrs. P. we need to do some planning and catching up." Soren said acting as if he said nothing before "Now Soren I may not be able to see, but I hear quiet well." Mrs. P. said defensively and added "I won't tell a soul." The Whole Group nodded their heads and said in a whisper "Thanks."
After eating breakfast the group got together made sure no one was around and asked Soren what was going on "I am happy to be in the Chaw of Chaws with you all and I have needed some time to think since I have found out about Ezylryb. He is like a father to me. I know he has helped every single person standing here with me tonight, in a different way. I want to go and look for Cleve of Firthmore knowing we may not find him I have to look for Ezylryb he has been so helpful to me in so many ways and now I want to return the favor." Soren said stepping out in front of everyone the whole Chaw of Chaws was there first there was the band and Soren was thinking of splitting up into halves one going to the Glauxian Brothers Retreat and the other half going to the Ice Talons with an luck they would find him if not they would head back to the tree and tell each other what they had heard from both places and would go to what ever direction they were pointed in.
"Soren you absolutely know the Band is behind you all the way." The Band said in unison "As are the rest of us." Otulissa said looking around at the rest of them. Each owl nodded there head looking at the other knowing that everyone was going to find Cleve. "Okay, I have plans to split one half of us to go to the Glauxian Brothers Retreat and the other to go to the Ice Talons." He finished and everyone seemed to agree. "Since the Band is made up of Gylfie, Twilight, Digger, Coryn and I we shall proceed to the Ice talons although I have thought about Digger flying a long distance…" Soren was interrupted by Diggers voice "Soren I can make it I am with the Chaw of Chaws all the way." Soren realizing that everyone was behind him and each other the whole way he continued, "Okay then since the Band is going with me, Otulissa you will take Martin, Ruby, Eglantine if she is feels like flying. If Eglantine can not go you may take Coryn with you." Finishing up his sentence he looks at everyone they all agree. "Soren I will go I feel just fine to fly so Coryn you're stuck with him." Eglantine said. "That's fine with me I am happy to go with the Band." Coryn said with a smile on his face.
That night they all swore not to tell a single soul they would not even tell Ezylryb for he might forbid them to go. "Okay it is set then we leave tomorrow right at sundown." Soren said telling everyone to meet him back at the exact same place tomorrow evening there was one problem they had to let someone know they would be gone for a couple of days "Wait! Who will tell somebody we are leaving they have to know or they will worry?" Eglantine said looking a little confused as to why they did not go over this. "We can tell Octivia and Mrs. Plithiver they will be the ones most worried and of course the person who is in charge of the great tree is coming with us, and if anyone asks we're going to visit an old friend who has sent for us." Otulissa said confirming it with everybody. "Who will be the ones to tell Mrs. P. and Octivia we all can't go up to them just two one to tell Mrs. P. and the other to tell Octivia." Gylfie said waiting for Soren to say something at any moment. "Okay I will tell Octivia and Twilight you tell Mrs. P. we will tell them both the exact same thing we will tell them an old friend from the Ice Talons has sent for us and is need of our help we all are going because it was just us who they sent for." Soren jumped in as soon as Gylfie was finished. "That sounds great to me." Twilight said and then they all headed off Soren towards Octivia, Twilight to Mrs. P., Gylfie headed off to her hollow to see what Pelli was up to, Otulissa went to the library, Digger, Ruby, and Martin following Otulissa, Eglantine went to her hollow to see what her hollow mate was up to, Coryn went to see Ezylryb to see what conditions he was in, that was settled in the talk he was the one decided to go see him because he had not had time to grow that fond of Ezylryb.
Soren would have gone to see him, but he was afraid of bursting out in tears or trying to hold back and Ezylryb not being able to do anything about in his condition they were afraid if anyone of them went in there to check up on him he would get worse or maybe even possibly better well that couldn't risk it so they sent the one who had not been at the tree very long and the one who would have some business being in there.
