Jack was flying in mid air, when he noticed a lot of dead Pure One soldiers laying on the ground, beaten, severed, and... dead. He was at a hills area.
"Oh my glaux.. they're all dead." He said.
As he descended to the dead soldiers, he wondered. 'Who did this?'
Once at the ground, he grabbed a pair of armor off of a dead soldier.
An owl struck him on the left side.
He fell to a side.
"Agh... Glaux!" Jack grunted.
He saw a pure white owl running to him. He recognized the owl. It was Nyra.
"Mother! Please don't!" He panicked, before starting to run and fly.
Nyra let out a screech as she neared him.
She jumped up and chased him in the air.
"The armor must be it! She thinks I'm one of them!" Jack thought before flying harder. He dropped the armor, but she was still chasing him.
"You can't get away from ME!" Nyra said.
Jack decided to take the chase into a forest.
He decided to fall down to the ground.
Nyra saw this and took this as her chance to get him.
"Heh heh heh." She chuckled evily to herself.
Jack unfortunately, got caught by a branch. The branch held onto a strap he was wearing.
He felt pretty stupid that he got caught by a tree.
"Oh no!." He said to himself as he wiggled, trying to free himself.
Nyra struck him on the back, causing them both to fall to the lowest ground.
[THUD!]
Nyra's talon was on his throat.
"Stop!.. Stop!" Jack choked.
Nyra laughed.
"?" Jack looked at Nyra.
"Did you really think I would hurt my own son?" Nyra said.
".. what?" Jack said, freaked out.
Nyra let go and helped him up get up.
"Long time no see." Nyra said.
"So.. you killed all those Pure Ones?" Jack asked.
"Yes." Nyra said.
"Why? Aren't they your soldiers?" Jack asked, confused.
"They are, but then they tried to kill me." Nyra said.
"Why would your soldiers try to kill you?" Jack asked.
"Beats me." Nyra said. "What are you doing out here?"
"I came looking for you. I haven't seen you in so long." Jack said.
"Neither have I. I'm glad to see you." Nyra said.
A rat ran across the ground, trying to run away from the two.
Jack caught it by the neck and snapped it.
"We should get moving." Nyra said.
"Yes." Jack said.
The two took to the sky, Jack eating the rat, whole.
"So what have you been up to all this time?" Nyra asked.
"Raising a family." Jack said.
"Oh! You didn't tell me you had one! How many owlets do you have?" Nyra asked.
"Just one son. I named him 'Alec'." Jack said.
"That's a nice name. Who's the lucky Owl you had him with?" Nyra asked.
"Well.. she's a Guardian and her name is Otulissa." Jack said.
"Hm. I figured, since you went back with them all those years ago." Nyra said.
"Yes, I did." Jack said.
"How old is your boy?" Nyra asked.
"5 years old." Jack said.
"Mm. I want you to bring him to me soon. I wanna see him." Nyra said.
"I will." Jack said. Although, he was unsure of how he would be able to pull this little stint again.
"Say, are you seeing anyone, mother?" Jack asked.
Nyra twitched, having actually heard her son ask her that.
"No. Not since your father." Nyra said.
"Oh." Jack said. "Sad to say, I sort of miss him. Even though he was more of a King, than a father to me."
"I wanted to tell you for a long time, Jack. I really did." Nyra said.
"Had you told me sooner, I don't think I would have made any changes to my choices. He had to be stopped." Jack said.
"I hate to admit it, but you are right. He was my husband, but he asked for his death." Nyra said.
Jack looked at her.
Nyra looked at him.
The two conversed for a little while longer before Jack left, to go back to Ga'hoole.
