The full moon shines bright, lighting up the night as if it is a nightlight for little animals. An owl flies silently in the nightsky, heading toward the forest for prey. As it flies along the cliff it spots a figure down below. It drops down carefully and notices that it is a human child.
It flies by, uninterested in a human boy with long hair. It 'who'ed softly before turning and heading into the forest.
The boy stares out beyond the cliff, listening to the waves crash at the rocks below. Violet eyes shine bright under the full moon. The mid-back length chestnut hair flutters softly in the breeze. The Violet eyes close as the boy gives a shuddering sigh and takes a step closer to the edge.
"Should I?"
The boy whispers silently to the night, the question carried off on the breeze.
He looks down, past his shoes and past the two inches left of the ground before it becomes air. He watches the waves hit the rocks and the cliff side, spraying up into the air before heading back down into the sea. The water sparkles softly in the moon light.
The waves crash some more till it seems that the waves are waving to the boy to come and join them.
'Come play with us'
'We'll catch you'
The boy closes his eyes and feels the breeze shift over his pale skin soothenly. The question comes back once again, as if the breeze brought it back.
"Should I?"
He thinks about it for the first time since he has been out here standing at this cliff. Memories pass through his mind's eye, good and bad, from sorrow to joy. Violet eyes open, determination in them. His mind is made up.
He takes a step.
The owl breaks from the forest after a succesful hunt and notices that the human boy is no longer at the edge of the cliff. It flaps it's wings and flies back to where it came from.
OWAIR
