Hello everyone. Sorry for the long wait. Here is chapter 9. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)


While Bia was comforting Blu after the latter had explained about Linda's death, a young male Spix Macaw chick was regaining consciousness as he managed to wake up, only to find himself in an human house, which confused him as he had wondered about how he has managed to get there in the first place, he really wanted answers and quick.

The young chick found himself in a huge bed, along with the fact that he was covered in blankets, which made the young chick smile as he felt warm and comfortable because of the blankets covering him, though, he was still wondering about what happened, knowing that he last remembered being the Amazon rainforest and lots of smoke.

He began to panic at the thought of home, especially when he knows that he's no longer there. Unfortunely for him, he began to feel homesick as he cried with the tears streaming down his face as he hoped that he is in some kind of nightmare. Despite wishing it was just a nightmare, he knows that it feels too real to be a nightmare.

Suddenly, he found himself looking at another male Spix Macaw chick, who is a skinny and scruffy-looking young chick who looks almost exactly like Blu, also inheriting his "hair" style, but unlike his sisters, he has more hair feathers that stand up, similar to Jewel's. He also has downy feathers that stick up on the back of his neck and on his chest, which is also a similarity to Blu.

He has dark blue feathers, lighter blue facial markings, light grey talons, a dark grey beak, and brown eyes that are the same hazel-brown colour as Blu and Bia's. He has the second largest wings, despite being the youngest of the brood. Being the youngest, he is also the smallest and shortest of the brood. He was giving him a warm smile.

This surprised the male Spix Macaw chick, who began to feel an strange sensation flow throughout his body. He had an warm feeling, which confused him as he wondered why he was feeling this way as he looked into the eyes of the male Spix Macaw chick in front of him. He wasn't sure, how to interpret this very warm feeling.

"Hello, my name is Tiago, youngest son of Blu and Jewel" said Tiago as he introduced himself to the chick. "They are my parents, by the way, so, what's your name?".

"Oh, well, My name is Jason, I am the son of Zachariah" said Jason as he introduced himself to Tiago. "You know, I want to ask you something, how did I get here?".

"My dad rescued you, I saw him flying back to the forest" said Tiago as Jason began to listen closely. "Only for him to come back, but, with you in his talons, he saved you".

"Whoa, I guess that I better thank him, when I see him" said Jason as he quickly realised something. "But, what about our home?, the Amazon rainforest?, is it alright?".

"Shhh, it's ok, Jason, we will return back to the Amazon" said Tiago as he tried to keep Jason calm. "Although, there is a problem with that idea, we had been attacked".

"Attacked?, by who?, who attacked us, Tiago?, tell me" said Jason as his wing clutched Tiago's wing. "Please, tell me, Tiago, I need to know, WHO attacked us, exactly?".

"It was an evil Scarlet Macaw, who is called Armando" said Tiago as he held Jason's wing with his own. "He attacked us, because he wanted to prove a point, to all of us".

Jason was shocked and saddened by what he was hearing from Tiago, which caused him to have tears form in his eyes as he began to sob in sadness, at the fact that Armando had attacked them as well as the loss of their homeland, while the only thing that Tiago could do was comfort Jason, knowing that he is having a tough time.

He pulled Jason, gently, into a hug, where Tiago felt Jason's tears touch his chest feathers as he began to stroke Jason's back, while attempting to keep his own composure, especially when he is trying to be strong for his new friend, though, it was clear that it was becoming hard for Tiago, who found himself wanting revenge against his enemy.

After comforting Jason, Tiago allowed Jason to stay in the bed as he knows that Jason still needs rest, but, he found himself surprised at the fact that, when he was about to leave, he heard his name coming from his new friend, which caused Tiago to wonder why Jason was calling out to him as it caused Tiago to turn his attention back to Jason.

"Tiago, will you please stay with me, I really need you" said Jason as he looked, pleadingly, at Tiago. "I don't think that, I am capable of being on my own, just yet".

"Umm, sure, Jason, I'm coming, just don't move, ok?" said Tiago as he got into bed next to Jason. "Also, Jason, if you want to talk about your problems, I'm right here".

"Thanks Tiago, I really needed that, thank you, friend" said Jason as he put his head on Tiago's chest. "I just hope that, we will be able to return back to our homeland".

Tiago nodded his head in understanding as he kissed his friend's head and wrapped his wings around Jason, before he watched as Jason went to sleep with a smile on his face, knowing that he has found peace and comfort in being wrapped in Tiago's wings as he slept on, a sight that made Tiago smile as he, once again, kissed Jason's head.

He promised to himself, that he will look after Jason as he knows that he really needs him in this very moment. He knows it is going to take time, although he hopes that his father can find a way to defeat Armando in order for all of them to return to the Amazon rainforest. Despite this though, he is already feeling the effects of homesickness.
