Chapter 3 the hunt for the gate
"im bored bud when are we going" siver wined hanging slightly over the edge of the hollow of witch they stayed for more then 3 weeks siver was growing a bit big in 3 or 4 weeks he would be flight ready "well head over to lunaras then" bud picked a bit at a small rat he cought the night before "bud you know how lunaras parents hate it when i come over they say im more of a burrowing owl then a snowy and i should *act it*" siver said in a disrespectful tone but ever since siver and bud arrives at this refuge lunara served as a friend siver could play with but the last few days lunara dident seems to be interested in coming over or doing anything she was bussy with cerimonies and stuff like that but siver being orphaned and picked up by bud never really learned that cerimonies were important "hey siver" a voice wisperd from below it was one of sivers new friends sirk "oh hey sirk" siver said in a bored tone "hey i heard about a cool little place not far from here want to check it out its got TONS of old ruins and stuff" bud instantly jumped up hearing this from sirk "ruins whats this bout ruins" bud yelled in a exited tone well...slightly exited tone as exited as it sounded from buds tones "oh my brother was flying in to visit and when he did he saw some ruins" sirk exclaimed "mind if i come" bud asked with a bit nervousness "bud...i know what your thinking and this will have nothing to do with daybreak" siver added "siver bud im not sure what daybreak is but if it has to do with snakes with wings then ya these ruins have to do with it" siver and buds eyes sprang open and bud dashed down onto the fall leaf coverd ground and siver works his way as fast as he could down the ramp that lead down onto the ground of the refuge and then sirk lead the way there of course bud was jumping up and down and cept asking sirk "are we there yet" until they arrives in a small dark cave as they went through a huge skylight poked in giant statues of snakes with wings on their sides and spikes sticking off their heads filled the gate into a crumbled building as they walks through the ruins many pictures enlaced the wall they seemed to tell the story that bud told lunara and siver a few weeks before they spoke no words until the hallway ended "i guess thats a dead end bud...lets head back" siver said being a bit creeped out by the old place "a dead end is never a dead end only a new way hidden" bud said as he walked to the wall a picture of a black owl laced the wall its dark red ruby eyes seemed to pitch straight onto them its beak was razored and the same with its talons and seemed to have plates all over its body its wing seems lagged like glass then bud went up to it then pushed the eyes in with his talons then the wall rebuilt itself into a opening into a new room pictures of strange owls made of mist lanced and danced across the walls and one tree stuck out from the others it seemed to turn into a face below it on the picture was a gem it seemed to look like it could fit in a strange gate sorounded by trees alike the one before "t-this...siver do you know what this means..." bud said with a more exited tone then before "no...what does it mean i don't read pictures infact..im not sure i can read at all bud" siver said with a very confused look "these pictures tell were the gate is...its in the spirit woods the key is under this tree and... by the time you are flight ready we should be passing through the gate" bud exclaimed sirk was frozen in fear and kept mumbling under his breath as he stared into the eyes of the tree that had a face "is he going to be alright bud" siver asked waving a wing infront of sirks face bud then blocked the face with a old rock and sirk sprang back they then got sirk away and removed the stone and headed back to the hollow bud then told siver "siver say good bye to anybody here you want to say goodbye to...we leave tomarrow" siver was shocked by this... this place was the closest thing to a home hes ever had and to leave it...this would be hard but sirk was right there so siver started with him "sirk...umm...im not good with good byes extra cause i never have had to say good bye to anybody before" sirk turned around and nodded "that will do little pig...that will do..." siver had no idea what that ment but he guessed it ment good bye to sirk so siver ran off and then arrived at lunaras hollow as he passed by the wall of it he heard voices from inside he put his ear up to the wall and listened in "your such a jerk you know that right i cant even see my best friend cause you hate his guts" lunara said to somebody else in the room but siver was confused he knew she was talking about him but he had never made any enemies in his life then a new voice spoke "your parents left you in my care until they get back and i say stay away from him that snowy is dangerous and same with the eldery guy taking care of him" siver was deeply confused he knew lunaras parents were on a small skirmish to the west but who was this other voice siver then walked to the enterence but dident peak any of him in he just yelled "lunara can i talk to you for a second" lunara stomped outside and spoke to siver "this isent a good time siver" siver was surprised by lunara her feathers were ruffled up and siver spoke "umm lunara this cant wait" lunara then said in a kind of angerd tone "well tell me already" siver spoke in a saddened tone trying not to cry even though he was about to loose his best friend "lunara me and bud are leaving tomarrow" lunara feathers instantly shot down her intire face broke out and said in a sad tone "w-what" siver kept his face dry "me and budd are heading for daybreak tomarrow ruins in a cave sirk found pointed us to the spirit woods" lunara started crying siver never saw her so sad cause truth was they both were sort of odd here they only had each other and sirk and lunara never really considerd sirk as a friend so after lunara was done crying siver went back to his hollow he spent the intire day there and now it was time to go but just as he left a big great gray owl took off from lunaras hollow a emense scar was torn across his eye and his talons were scarred lot aswell it was clear this owl had been in alot of fights so out of fear siver took to the long rout to avoid it seeing him and so bud took off siver ran below at the same speed bud flew witch was amazing due to the fact owls cant usually run very fast and so they went off to brave the unknown of the spirit woods
