Hey guys! I guess third time was the charm!

Because I got two more favs and follows from SummerKitty04 and Tomadahawk!

Now this highlight would be in the start of what my second Super Rio story would be, if you guys remember what I said at the end of the last highlight. So this one takes place many years after the end of what would be my first Super Rio, when Abel and Cain are both teenagers and reaching adulthood.

Seeking Elder Advice

Morning came in the Amazon rainforest, all peaceful and nice as in one hollow lived a rather strange family of an adult male Peregrine Falcon and female Blue and Scarlet Hybrid macaw, as well as two teenage male Blue macaws and a little female Peregrine Falcon. As the morning came, The adult Peregrine Falcon, Tomada Junior, was just coming back from gathering breakfast, while his mate was getting the little Peregrine Falcon girl. The two teenagers, Abel and Cain, were having their brotherly talk, discussing what they had in mind for today. As the two females of the family came into the main room, Junior got back with some fresh nuts and fruits.

"Okay, lets dig in everyone!" Junior smiled as he sighed from his hard work.

"Thanks dad!" Abel and Cain replied in unison and got their share, making sure to leave enough for their parents and little sis.

"You know, for a predatory bird, you sure know how to find fresh fruits and nuts." Junior's mate, Cadence teased him.

"Hey what can I say, I'm a different kind of predator." Junior blushed, while Cadence gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey, stop hogging all the food!" The little Peregrine Falcon girl, named Margaret shouted at her older brothers, trying to push her way in between the two.

"First you have to reach for it sis!" Cain shouted in return as he held a last nut too high for Margaret to reach.

"Give our sis a break." Abel reprimanded his brother and handed his last bites to his sis. "Here you go sis."

"Thanks big bro." Margaret replied happily and hugged her brother's leg, which Abel blushed.

"Okay guys, stop chatting and eat up." Cadence told her children, which they did and finished their meal.

After they finished their meal, Cadence wanted to visit her father, Alex the Scarlet macaw, who lived alone in his own hollow, well it was the hollow where she grew up, when her mother was still alive anyway… She wanted to make sure her father was alright and plus he was getting old, evident from his feathers starting to turn more and more grey, meaning that eventually Alex would die of old age.

However, there was another reason why Cadence wanted to visit her father, she wanted to seek his advice on her two teenage boys. Both Abel and Cain's true father was Groundfly, the evil brother of Nightfly and student to Armando and she was worried that even thought the two boys were good now, she feared their evil side would come out.

As breakfast was finished, Cadence talked to Junior.

"Well, I'm going to visit my father today." Cadence told her mate.

"Okay, I'll go with the kids today, we'll play some soccer together." Junior replied.

"Wait, mom, can I go with you?" Margaret begged her mother, tugging at her wing. "I want to see grandpa too."

"I don't know sweetie…" Cadence replied, unsure.

"Maybe you should take her, after all, how much longer is your father going to see her?" Junior bringing up a point.

"I hate it when you're right." Cadence put on a frown while Junior chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'll watch over the boys." Junior reassured his mate. "And have fun with grandpa sweetie." Junior told his little daughter.

"Yes daddy." Margaret replied with a smile.

As the family separated, Cadence, with Margaret on her back, flew to her father's hollow and as Cadence got there, her father wasn't in sight. Looking around, she found him taking a nap in his nest, snoring loudly as Cadence tried to not burst out laughing.

"Sweetie, you want to wake up grandpa?" Cadence whispered to her daughter.

"Yes mom." Margaret whispered back and walked up to her grandpa's side.

As Margaret came besides her grandpa, she jumped up on him, but being careful not to be too hard, she woke him up. Alex groaned as he opened his eyes, but instead of being angry, he smiled.

"Well, well, look who it is." Alex, in his old, gruff voice, but filled with cheer, said as he caught his granddaughter in his wings. "Isn't it my most favorite granddaughter!"

"Grandpa, I'm your only granddaughter." Margaret replied, chuckling at her grandpa's silliness.

"Still doesn't mean you aren't my favorite." Alex replied as he held Margaret tighter.

"Hello dad." Cadence intervened.

"Hey sweetheart." Alex replied, putting Margaret down and getting up to hug his daughter. "Nice to see you again."

"You too dad, I need to talk to you about something important." Cadence said in a serious voice.

"I see…" Alex said as he thought for a second and then looked down to Margaret. "Hey sweetie, why don't you go next door to grandpa Tomada, your mother and I need to talk alone, but I promise you can come back when we're done."

"Okay grandpa, I understand." Margaret replied and without a second's delay, went next door, to where her grandpa Tomada and grandmom Sorrel lived.

Once father and daughter were alone, Alex spoke first.

"So what's on your mind sweetheart?" Alex asked as he stretched himself.

"Well dad, it's about Abel and Cain." Cadence answered, not sure how to explain it.

"What about them?" Alex asked, still confused.

"Well you know dad, part of them came from an evil bird, I have always worried that despite how good they are, they'll turn evil and forget all the good things they did, and since they're teenagers, they're close to becoming adults." Cadence finally could express her concern.

"That's it?" Alex asked to be sure.

"Yes." Cadence replied.

"Well sweetie, to be honest, I think you're overreacting, Abel and Cain are very good boys, I highly doubt they'll turn evil, and besides why would Armando and Groundfly wait this long to turn them against us?" Alex pointed out, Cadence getting her father's point.

"I know dad, it's just I have this feeling." Cadence sighed.

"Look, you are doing everything a mother can possibly do for her children, as long as you still guide the boys in the right direction, everything's going to be okay." Alex reassured his daughter.

"Thanks dad, I think I feel a bit better." Cadence could finally smile a little.

"You know, your mother also had these kinds of concerns, she wasn't sure she would be a good mother, but she was the best in the end." Alex's turn to sigh as he thought of Lily.

"I know dad, I miss mom too." Cadence also sighed, thinking of her mother as well.

"Well, as long as I believe your mother is watching from above and the fact that I'll join her soon, keeps me happy." Alex's smile returning.

While Alex and Cadence were having their talk together, Junior and the boys were playing some soccer together, having a lot of fun.

"Over here dad!" Abel called from behind, as Junior tried to get past his other son, Cain.

"No way you're getting past me dad." Cain said determined as he blocked his father's shot.

"You want to bet son." Junior replied back just as determined.

After baiting his son to lunge for the opposite direction, Junior kicked the ball to Abel, who caught it and scored a goal.

"Man, that's foul play dad!" Cain shouted with disappointment.

"All fair's in love and war son." Junior simply replied. "Okay, now it's your turn to score." Junior told Cain as he helped his son up.

While father and sons were playing soccer, a familiar Blue macaw was watching them from some cover in some foliage. He smiled evilly as he was impressed with how much the two Blue macaw teenagers were all grown up, now they were close to using their full strength for evil purposes. This macaw was the true father of Abel and Cain… Groundfly…

I guess Alex is wrong… Armando and Groundfly had waited in fact…
