(A/N - Finally, I am going to start the sequel to my Fanfic "LOTG : Another Ga'hoole Story". If any of you haven't read that story, I recommend to read that and "Adventure to Ga'hoole" before reading this so you all know what's going on. Anyway, enjoy!)
"Sir Gron. Why are you wearing that hideous mask?" A Pure One asked.
An owl, wearing a Rat mask, turned to face his comrade. His name is Gron.
"I feel that this mask suits me very well." Gron responded.
"But you're a Pure One, not a rat." The Pure One said.
"And just why are you judging me by my mask, Pete?" Gron asked.
"Forgive me, Sir Gron. I am just curious as to why you would wear a mask of another animal and not an owl helmet." Pete responded.
"It is how I feel and plus, I want to wear this. So how much Iron have your men found?" Gron asked.
"Quite a bit and the queen is missing. She killed two of our soldiers and then disappeared." Pete said.
Gron striked Pete in the abdomen, then grabbed his throat with his left talon and squeezed.
"You let this happen?!" Gron said.
"I arrived at the scene just as she was flying away, Sir! If I had been there earlier, I could have stopped her!" Pete said, choking.
Gron let go.
Pete gasped for air.
"Assemble a team to hunt down the Queen. Bring her back to me alive." Gron said.
"Right away, Sir." Pete said before flying off.
"I never liked that white nuisance or her son." Gron said.
Jack and Otulissa were eating a meal at the table with their young owlet Alec.
"Momma, can I have some more worms?" Alec asked.
"I got you." Jack said, walking to the food table.
Alec cuddled under his mother's wing.
Digger was eating crazily again, which made a few of the owlets, owls and Alec laugh.
"Mommy, does he always do that?" Alec asked.
"Yes." Otulissa said. "Even before you were born."
Jack came back with the bowl of worms.
Alec jumped up and started eating out of it crazily, much like Digger.
"I think Digger might be in competition." Jack said.
He looked over at a few owls, who were talking to each other.
Twilight and Strix Struma were laughing with each other.
Soren was talking to Gylfie.
Jack looked at the two, then back at Otulissa.
Then Digger came up to Jack and said
"Boo!"
Jack twitched and fell back, falling on his butt.
Digger, Alec and Otulissa laughed.
"Very funny." Jack said, getting up.
He hadn't realized that the bowl was now on the floor and his right talon stepped into it, he slipped forward.
Jack was on now facing the floor.
The laughing continued.
"Darn it!" He said, then joined in the laughing.
"Digger, how do you do that weird spin of yours?" Jack asked.
"What, this?" Digger said, then spun crazily while digging at the floor.
"Yeah, that." Jack said.
Dave flew down to them, with a set of armor on his body and his face.
"Hello, knight in shining armor." Jack joked.
"Oh my god, Dave. You look different." Digger said.
"In what way?" Dave asked.
"You're covered with shining armor." Otulissa said.
"It's what the soldiers and guards are wearing now." Dave said.
"Are you a soldier or a guard?" Jack asked.
"A Guard for now." Dave said. "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, it's cool I guess." Jack said.
"Dave, back to your post, come on!" A guard said.
"Gotta get back. See y'all." Dave said, then flew away.
"I want to wear armor like that." Otulissa said.
"You'll get your chance soon, I'm sure." Jack said.
Gron was looking at his search group, who were laying on the ground, beaten to a pulp.
"What in the hagsmire happened to you chumps?!" Gron said.
"Your stupid... queen... beat us!" One of the soldiers said.
"Damn it! Even a search party wasn't enough! A band of good owls, probably the best ones I have.. beaten to a pulp! I'll get that tyto if it's the last thing I do!" Gron said. "Get up ya beaten excuses!"
The beat up Pure One soldiers got up weakily as they followed Gron.
"Sire, we must consider better tactics." One soldier said.
"And just what do you consider to be a 'better tactic'?" Gron asked.
"Waiting until sunrise and us being 'FULLY RECOVERED', before we attack again." The soldier said.
"I'll consider it." Gron said. "That may be a better idea. Now all of you! Go sit in a corner to think about your failure!" Gron said.
The Pure One soldiers grumbled as they walked away from him.
It was dawn and most of the owls were in their hollows, sleeping the day away.
(A/N - Owls sleep when dawn is coming, and they are awake when it is night time.)
Jack couldn't sleep however. He couldn't stop thinking about his mother.
"Nyra. I miss you." Jack thought.
Otulissa moved in her sleep.
Alec was asleep across from Otulissa.
Jack looked at the opening where the moon shone brightly.
He wondered if Nyra was out there, lost or searching for him. He hadn't seen her in 5 years and 2 months, since the defeat of Metal Beak.
"I hope you're okay out there." He whispered.
Then Jack looked at Otulissa and Alec, who were still asleep, then he flew from his hollow to see Dave.
"No." Dave said.
"No? Why?" Jack asked.
"Because that would be violating King Boron's rules and who knows where that ungodly smite is?" Dave said.
"Hey, that's my mother you're talking about." Jack said.
"Sorry, but I'm being real here. She could be anywhere out there, maybe attacking other owl Kingdoms." Dave said.
"I'll go alone." Jack said.
"And abandon your family?" Dave said.
"They'll be alright. I won't even be gone for too long out there." Jack said.
"Okay, but I'm warning you : Do not get spotted by the guards. They're strict about the Curfew here." Dave said.
"I'll keep my eyes open for them." Jack said, then flew out of the hollow.
Dave made a face of concern.
"Ever since we defeated Metal Beak, he's been lonesome because of Nyra." Dave thought.
(A/N - This story belongs to Geopelia, which is my first account, but again : I lost complete access to it due to the 'Persona' login engine being deactivated back in 2016. Anyway, I am gonna continue this story as well as the other ones I left since 2015. Just giving y'all a heads up.)
