Donnie walked over to the giant ice castle, the ice that made up the great walls were gleaming in the moon light. It appeared to be made up of millions of little stars. Despite his depressed mood he found himself smiling at his creation. Even though he knows it is a wound that will never heal, he lets himself listen to his own words and 'let it go'. With a newly found energy he raced to the balcony, his icy cape flowing in the wind behind him. Upon reaching the balcony he let the wind take away his worries.
(A/n I am writing this on my phone and have no way of making the words fancy so thoughts will be in parenthesis) ( I wonder if I could make it snow?...) Donnie thought lifting up his hand, he summoned a snowflake the size of a house that upon reaching the sky suddenly bursts into thousands of little snowflakes. The snowflakes quickly spread out to cover the sky as far as the eye could see. Donnie could easily tell the snow was now a storm. And now he knew deep down that his wound would never get closer to being healed. Because he would always be alone. But strangely enough that felt like a scar instead of a freshly earned wound.
Smiling to himself he let the icy wind wash away all of his worries. The crisp air had never feel so good in his entire life, not even when he left the dark sewers for the first time. Turning from the balcony he went down an icy stair case that led to the main floor. He turned down an icy hallway into what appeared to be a bedroom. Shooting out a beam of ice, Donnie creates a bed in the corner of the room. The bed was made of thick almost blue ice, for covers there was thin sheets of ice that were identical to the cape he wore on his back, and most surprisingly for a pillow there was a sheet of ice filled with feathers. ( where did the feathers come from?) He thought, a little nervous he walked outside and as in the thick snow. ( w-what the shell?...f-feathers?) Just then a shrill shriek snapped him away form his thoughts.

A\n okay I am on the computer again! I was on a car trip and wrote this on my text messaging so I did not have fancy writing. well anyway special thanks to Apriltelloismylife and lily rules for the help on this chapter! and hopefully many more. ... Also Talon belongs to Apriltelloismylife. RESUME!

What the? first feathers now...birds?! I thought racing towards the sound of the distressed creatures. Pushing through hills of snow and blasting icy beams to destroy rocks in my way, I quickly found the bird. or...birds. In a small clearing there was a Small white hawk with red flecks. But what surprised me the most was the intelligence clear in her strong gaze. Next to the small hawk was a VERY large red tailed hawk. The birds were obviously siblings. The larger of the two, who I assumed was male, was stuck in a pile of snow with netting over its wings and across its torso. The poor thing had no way out of the cold snow. First pulling the pile of snow away from the bird with my powers, I then approached the smaller of the two, I was hoping the intelligence would shine through. Sure enough the bird looked at me, her intelligent eyes meeting my concerned one and an answer blared into my mind. Please help him. But be warned. I will defend my brother if you harm him. Fix my brother. Startled by the statement I almost fall into the snow beneath me. But remembering recent events, I pushed past my worry's and leaned next to the tangled bird. Seeing the birds VERY large talons, I decide to name him just that. Talon.

"Hey,... your sister said I can help okay?" I ask the hawk. I feel ridiculous. But to my amazement, and possibly my sanity's safety, the bird tells me through my mind once again. "Alright. I trust her." I take a deep breath and begin to unravel the netting. Once he was free, he instantly tried to examine if his sister was alright. He was obviously protective. I take a step back, the worry returning. But to my relief, how many times now?! he completes his examination, deeming the female fine. "thank you, I know you have powers, young Kame beware them. They will only grow. But for helping us, me and my sister will help you. these powers are goring. this is why we can speak to one another." Talon tells me. I feel amazement and...happiness well up inside me at these words. I smile. The feeling still feels almost foreign , but I allow myself happiness from it.

"Well, if we are to stay together we will need to give you a name." I say looking at he small one. " yes that will be necessary, please choose wisely" She says back to me.

"How about...Arigata. for you intelligence." I say. She and Talon nod. Holding out my arm the two birds climb on to my shoulders. Arigata is curled up against my neck for warmth and Talon is standing tall on my other shoulder, obviously watching out for danger. I smile for the third time that day, and begin to walk home. The smile never leaving my face because now,

I am not alone.
