Shade Pov.

Maria and I were transported into a sort of cage created inside a tree, the owls threw us violently inside, making us moan in pain and then closed the bars "I hope you like your new home because it will be the last after Brutus finished with you and the colony "I furiously approached the bars and snarled at him

" why isn't Frisk with us!? What does Brutus want to do !? " the owl smiled and said "oh sorry I don't veil we said before, since you didn't speak then Brutus decided to use your girlfriend" "Frisk won't say anything!" Marina replied

"oh believe me she will, Haron can be very persuasive" when I heard that name my breath stopped, it was the name of the owl that Frisk blinded in one eye, in that moment I was even more angry "if we had never saved that owl all this would never have happened! " I growled furiously "how can you say this"

"look what a mess we are in now, Frisk is in the hands of an owl who will surely want to take revenge on her and we are stuck here"

"but I remind you that if we didn't do it Orestes would have died and he and Eda are the only owls who came to our defense when Brutus was accusing us of attacking them "this was true, but at that moment I couldn't help thinking that if it hadn't been for them by now we would have already arrived at the Towers of Fire.

Frisk Pov.

I was left alone with Haron who started asking me a lot of questions but I tried in every way not to answer "where is your colony !?" I replied "I don't know!" but this only made him get mad even more and in addition to screeching me he also started to peck me in the head, hurting me a lot "aah!" I cried out in pain "where is your colony of murderers !?" when he said this I replied furiously "no I know! and even if I did I would not tell beasts like you!" when I said this, Haron threw myself to the ground violently as if I were an old shoe making me moan in pure pain

"you talk about beasts, we want to talk about what you did to me, look at me!" he grabbed my head forcing me to look him straight at his dead eye "you blinded me in one eye of you my once sharp eyesight now barely keeps up with that of the other owls" he grabbed me again and I scream " thanks to you now I'm almost completely useless you made me miserable and patetic "having said that he started to grind me even more

I said between groans "please .. I didn't .. intend to hurt you ... I was just trying .. to protect .. my friend" but he said "excuses are useless, now tell me where he was your colony! " you feel its claws threatening to dig into my skin, I realized that if I didn't speak then I would surely die but I couldn't, but then I had an idea and I pray that it's okay or else I'm dead "they took a detour to the west to reach a human village, now enough please! " he let go, giving me an evil to death, I looked up and watched him staring at me as if he were about to split me in two like a bisecting frog, but at that moment Orestes and Eda landed in front of me, Orestes grabbed me by the fur with the his beak, now what will happen?

"What does this mean?" asked Haron "Brutus orders the prisoner to be put in a cage after the interrogation and from what we saw it seems that he spoke" said Eda "and why he gave you kids the task and not Artemis or someone else of higher rank? "But Eda said," Artemis is with the rest of the scout to patrol the area, it has been reported that the colony of Silverwings has been spotted to the west "" uh well Edaline then let me accompany you "" sorry dad but Brutus wants to talk to you about the information you has acquired from the prisoner, oh he is adetto who wants to have a report immediately and if I'm not mistaken you don't always tell me to respect the orders of a superior "I opened my eyes Eda was the daughter of Haron? surely he must have taken it from his mother because if I hadn't seen him I wouldn't have believed it.

Haron doubted for a moment and then replied "very well but come back immediately after delivering the prisoner" after giving this order fly away, surely he was going to Brutus

"uh we got it, we fell for it" said Orestes letting me go "it's easy for you to talk, I'm the one who did most of the work" I looked at them and said "what does it mean guys?" "it's not obvious sister, we're saving you buttocks to you and your friends "I was surprised" why? "I asked" besides the fact that you saved Orestes' feathered ass, well the other reason is because you are not a murderer and if you are not then very likely not even your colony "I smiled and said" thank you guys "" for nothing, now we have to take care of freeing Shade and Marina "said Orestes" I know, come on sister get on my back and hide well "

Eda said leaning towards me with her back to allow me to climb on my back, obviously I didn't hesitate for a moment and I did.

I hid for good in the purple plumage of Eda's collar to avoid being seen, once I was ready we left.

Third Person Pov.

Meanwhile Sun went hunting alone for rabbits, but unfortunately she didn't find one, surely they were preparing for the winter in their lairs, but as she walked she heard one of the voices coming at the foot of a tree, she went to see who it was. , he slowly approached so as not to be noticed when and when she turned the corner she saw Tuist and Spaik who were arguing with each other "are you telling me that we are lost" "don't look at me like that Tuist, you are not a bird anymore you didn't have the migratory instinct "" I'm a nightingale not a little migrant, I don't have the faintest idea where we are, you looked at the map "but Spaik said nothing" Spaik where is the map!? " Tuist said with a menacing air "here .. I skied it in the city" "fantastic! we are lost in the middle of nowhere, with no map and no idea where we are going" "here now you criticize me" "I criticize you and how, how did you lose the map! " "it's also your fault, you and your mania for punctuality it's obvious that we lose something!" the two continued to quarrel not noticing that Sun was looking at him amused by that scene finding them funny and very funny, then he approached the two and said "hey guys if you want I can help you" the two turned and looked pale with fear at the white wolf, the two remained in furniture for a moment and then Tuist raised his wing towards Spaik and said "move away without making any sudden movements" she smiled and said "you are afraid of the bad wolf" then Spaik took his guitar and said "stay back I'm armed , don't provoke me I am a killing machine, my hands are deadly weapons "Spaik took courage and hit Sun with his guitar on the nose, but he did nothing but make her laugh" you are a hoot guys, you are a comic duo "" a musical duo to be more precise "said Spaik" what are you doing Spaik, do not refrain with our executioner! " but Sun stopped them and said "I don't want to hurt you" "but also give the psychological torture" "no sulserio I don't want to do anything to you guys, I'm a wolf but I'm not a monster, I heard that you are lost, where do you have to go? " Sun asked amicably

"we are looking for the mountain pass towards the eagle peak" said Tuist "well it's your lucky day I know where it is, it's not very far from here, you have to go north of this forest and after the river you have to turn to left up to the arrow-shaped tree and if you always go straight you will arrive at the eagle's peak in no time "

the two friends thanked the she-wolf and without wasting time and also because they feared an attack of sudden hunger, they left for their destination

Meanwhile Goth and Throbb found the phone fringes leading in line to the Towers of Fire, Goth could not help but rejoice maliciously "Silverwings .. so small, so innocent, so tempting .. so close" he said with a turn thin and seductive, then turned to Throbb who was licking his mustache impatiently or putting his teeth on the members of the colony, the two flew following the line drawn by the electric poles knowing that at the end of those fralicci they would find the Towers of fire and with they the colinia.

As they flew, Throbb began to complain of exhaustion

"Goth ... are we there yet?" Throbb whimpered pathetically as he struggled to keep up with his brother-in-law. His round body weighed him down and made flying much more difficult, almost impossible, unlike Goth who seems to have no signs of fatigue. "Can you see the fire towers?"

but Goth increased the speed on purpose, ignoring Throbb's complaints and genuinely hated that big moaner.

"I'm so tired of all this flying!"

"If we were there," Goth glared at Throbb with annoyance evident in his tone, "would we still be flying?" he asked sarcastically

Throbb gasped as he tried to keep up with him. "The cold… I'm sure it's slowing my wings down. And I'm so hungry I could eat a moth! "He stopped and thought for a moment to think," maybe ... two moths. "

The ghost prince laughed with scorn and uforia, "it's so sad. Especially since we will soon have dinner at the Silverwing Buffet. "

Throbb perked up, his ears perked up and with a smile he said "buffet? How about ... dining without limits?" He began to giggle happily at the idea before his eyes narrowed into those of a hungry hunter "excelente" replied by reading his fangs

Soon, the two giant bats had reached the Fire Towers station which was actually an electrical power station. The whole place had a giant fence surrounding the area to keep humans out as a warning of the high voltage that was inside and to be more specific there were also many danger signs with black skulls as a warning, The wires hummed and crackled with powerful electricity that could electrocute anyone crazy enough to get close to it or worse, touch them.

Goth and Throbb landed on the roof of a wooden shack just outside the station perimeter and began sniffing for the Silverwing colony. Goth crouched down and easily tore off a piece of the shingles that made up the roof. He barely took a peek when he stopped Throbb from pulling out another tile. "Not so fast."

"Huh?" Throbb grunted.

"Looks like dinner hasn't arrived yet," he scowled at the skies with a frown.

At the same time Orestes and Eda arrived at the cell where Shade and Marina were locked up. Orestes approached the owl and said "now it's our watch" "what?" he asked confused "you don't understand, he said smamma it's our turn to guard" the surprised owl said "but, my turn .." "my father's orders!" Orestes replied with authority, the owl at that point gave up and left leaving the two owls with our heroes.

Eda walked over to the cage and said "hey guys how are you? Are you ready to get out of here" the Owl lady asked enthusiastically, but Shade replied "eh no thanks" everyone was speechless "Shade are freeing us" "Marina don't do you understand if we get out of here they will attack for sure "" no I don't think they will "said Frisk coming out of Eda's feathers and approaching the cage" Frisk! "shouted the boys coming to the bars" are you okay? Haron has hurt you ? " "well no he killed me but he would have done it if Orestes and Eda hadn't intervened" she said pointing to the two owls, Shade trusting Frisk's words let them open the cage.

When they were free, the three friends hugged each other happy to see that they were all fine "wait! What happened with Haron?" Marina asked "don't worry I directed him west towards the country towns" "but that's not the right direction, in this so the colony will be safe for now, nice move Frisk "said Shade" but I remind you that Goth and Throbb are going to the Towers of Fire so the colony is still in danger "

but at that moment Orestes intervened and said "by chance are they towers that release a great electric power?" Frisk nodded "yes they are exactly those" "I know where they are, my father showed apples some time ago believe me he loves them, come I'll show you the way"

Orestes got up in the air, followed by Eda "come on brothers, the journey and long" she flew to the other side of Orestes, Frisk turned to Shade and said "see Shade never judge an owl by its feathers" said this too she went up in flight with them, followed in turn by Marina, Shade thought for a moment and then, smiling, followed them

Meanwhile annoyed Goth growls

"Why are they not here? Towers of fire! "Goth was getting tired of waiting for his meal to arrive on its own. Both he and Throbb sat on the roof of the shed as the cold October wind began to pick up, signaling that a thunderstorm was soon to arrive. Dead leaves hissed past them as the wind picked up more and more speed with each passing second. "I'm sure that's what the Silver Wing said."

Throbb was chattering in the cold.

This time, the Goth was also starting to be affected by the winter weather. The two brought their wings around their bodies like long cloaks, trying to shield themselves from the chill wind that beat against them. "I may be hungry or cold, not both." Goth growled,

"I say we lay down." He managed to squeeze through the hole in the roof and Throbb followed him, although he was less successful as he got stuck thanks to his fat blocking the hole, Goth didn't enjoy it at all as he rolled his eyes in his mind he was wondering in frustration "why do I I had to have such an idiot brother-in-law "he didn't understand why he hadn't eaten it before, Why did he have to put up with this idiot again? well the answer was obvious her older sister.

Throbb squirmed and grunted as he tried to get through the hole when he noticed something flying in the distance. He gasped and shouted excitedly, "Goth! On the horizon!" His eyes widened when he felt Goth grab his leg and he started pulling hard. After a second yank, Throbb slipped through the hole and landed on the floor on his back. Stunned he looked up at a rejected Goth and said stunned almost on the verge of fainting, "I think dinner is on its way. Three little bats and two owl. "Having said that, he fell again and passed out.

"Hmm ... tapas," the prince smiled darkly and chuckled.

Frisk Pov

Orestes and Eda took us to the Towers of Fire, while Orestes explained a little bit about it, I observed the area for fear that the two cannibals would suddenly appear and attack us from behind, I smelled the air but did not hear to hear of them two thing that reassured me with some we had arrived first. we land on a shed near the towers so we could wait for the colony calmly. but in that moment while we waited I perceived a familiar smell, but I was not the only one even Shade seemed to smell it,

I sniffed carefully to be sure I was not mistaken, getting closer and closer to the source until I reached a crack in the tiles and there the smell it was stronger, I opened my eyes when I realized what it was was the smell of blood mixed with earth and grass ... the smell of a jungle, in a moment I looked inside the shed and there in the darkness,

I saw two green eyes staring at me and then suddenly Goth and popped out, I saw his hand try to grab me to drag me inside but I managed to dodge it in time by tripping and falling on my butt "Frisk!" Marina screamed behind me,

she and Shade approached but when they did it felt as the boards started to crumble almost on the verge of breaking,

Orestes and Eda were approaching in turn, "no no no no! Eda, Orestes don't .. "but before I could stop them the two landed and the boards rattled causing us to fall all five inside the shed.

The blow had stunned me, but slowly I felt that I was starting to recover, I took a look at the guys luckily they were all fine, but obviously I had spoken too soon because in front of us we saw the figure of Goth who covered us with his shadow, he he glanced and then looked at Orestes and Eda with a smile that made me tremble "Shade" he said spreading his wings "you know how much I like owls" then he walked over to our owl friends and said "this looks like a good starter for tonight "but at that moment Orestes and Eda stopped looking at him with surprise and fear and started looking at him in anger, before the cannibal realized Orestes attacked him by peck at his foot making him moan in pain, and while he was doing it Eda seized the opportunity and with his beak he grabbed his red hair and yanked it away making him moan even more.

The two owls, once free, flew up to see the exit, but it was not the same for the three of us, Goth rugendo tried to recapture Shade but fortunately he was faster and dodged him by getting up in flight, but not even Goth was outdone. took off in an attempt to capture Shade, managing to grab him before he could get out,

"don't you dare!" I thought flying against the giant grabbing him from behind taking him by surprise, at that moment Shade started to free himself, Goth at that moment with a growl of anger grabbed my arm and pushed me away to fly against Shade, but he got stuck in the wooden boards "you want a piece of me, you big idiot! Marina said to draw Goth's attention to if and how far it works, Goth went back inside and started following Marina in an attempt to catch her and in a few seconds he literally cornered her. I growling swooped into him to catch him off guard again, but my plan failed, he caught me in his wings as huge as a cloak and blocked his arms preventing me from escaping "Senorita, you shouldn't play with fire you could get hurt" he said in a sweet tone "let me go you bastard, son of a bitch, cheat!" I managed to get my right hand out and I tried to punch him in the face but he quickly stopped me and then lifted me from his arms

"cheat? me? I don't mind lying to you senorita"

"you said you wanted to protect us, but you want to eat us and then eat the colony! " I yelled at him, but he replied with a smile

"no senorita I said that we would offer you our protection to find the colony and that's what I've done so far and then I told you to survive in nature you have to do everything necessary also to spill blood "I looked at him in horror as he spoke calmly and keeping that sickly sweet smile of his, this bat is not just a cannibal .. he's crazy! , Goth then I pass his claw through my hair making me tremble

"you are so sweet and soft, you would be a really good meal, but if I ate you ... I would never find someone like you again" I looked at him confused

"I propose a deal a chance to save you senorita, if you agree to leave this frozen hell and come with me then first I won't kill you or your friends "I looked at him with disgust, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to get something from me, well forget it, I never accepted, I looked him in the face with a look of hate and he said "I prefer to be die than to go with a beast like you" he was surprised

"what!" "what did you expect! I'm not stupid to believe you, horrible psychopathic creature! "he looked at me with disbelief but then I growl, he squeezed my wrists hurting me" Goth enough! you hurt me! "but he just said

"I was hoping you accepted, but apparently I'll have to use hard ways to convince you"

at that moment my mind imagined the most horrible scenarios it could do to me and they all ended with me, bloodshot or killed, but in that moment "LET HER BE!" Marina yelled jumping on Goth's shoulders biting him in the back making him scream, be it grip loosened on me and I took advantage of it to squeeze off the furious Goth heel Marina from him and pushed her away making her moan in pain. Worried about my friend, I went back and went to her to help her. Goth stood in front of the two of us with a malicious grin ready to attack.

But at that moment Shade went back inside and approached Goth, he turned to him growling and tried to catch him but Shade was quicker and dodged him and then with a mocking smile he said to the cannibal "come and get me no balls!" Goth did not take that insult very well and full of anger I flew at him, following him out of the shed.

Marina and I were left alone .. or so I thought, both Marina and I felt something touching our shoulders, when we turned we saw Throbb holding us with a friendly smile "Senoritas, guess who's coming to dinner" he said with a hungry look and full of desire, but this time I reacted "not us" I replied grabbing the broom that was nearby and shaking it causing it to fall on Throbb's head making him moan and growl in anger.

Marina and I tried to get out of the roof but Throbb blocked our way making us back off. we parted ways and Throbb followed Marina in an attempt to capture her.

I looked around trying to find something to trap him, my attention was attracted by some buckets of verice on a shelf, at that moment an idea flashed in my mind "Marina!" I called and then with my head motioned her to come closer to the buckets, she understood, in the meantime I fly in my direction, I got ready, getting behind the buckets, I waited for Marina to pass and then as soon as I saw Throbb I yelled "hey Throbb!" he stopped and looked up at me, it was the my chin.

I threw the buckets of paint at him making them all fall off him even before he could escape, I exulted and said "get this fat guy!" ,

but before I could cheer I saw him come out of the buckets with his fur soiled with paint, green, red and yellow, he turned angrily at me with a dead expression "oh shit" I said to myself.

Throbb fly me, I sprinted as fast as I could,

while he followed me with the intention of take my head off. Mariana at that moment flew to me and said "Frisk the window!" I looked up at the window and understood what she wanted to do.

We went to the window and when Throbb was about to hit us we moved to have him break the glass and end up outside.

then we flew to the exit at the same time Throbb came in and tried to catch us but because of his belly he got stuck pretty hole.

I couldn't help but laugh

"go on a loose belly diet!" he growled at my joke but couldn't move he was stuck.

once outside "Frisk, Marina" we saw Eda and Orestes hid you have the foot of a tree, we land next to them "where is Shade!?" Eda "no" exclaimed Marina "and the colony!" "it is figgita luckily we removed it in time"

at that moment a lightning bolt struck the power plant making us jump and then another, the lightning was attracted by the plant at that moment you heard the sound of an explosion and Throbb fleeing away into the forest, but I did not think what had happened was not the moment "my dad would love it" said Oreste smiling "it seems like the moment to make similar comments" Eda asked sarcastically.

I watched the power plant and the lightning strikes and thought Shade could die, I had to do something, even though I knew I was going to die like a madgirl… I probably am.

I flew to the power station, while Marina and the boys called me saying to go back that it was suicide and that I was crazy, but I didn't listen to them and flew over the fence passing it, but in that moment a bolt of lightning slipped true of me

"aah ! "I screamed, raising my arms to defend myself, at that moment the mysterious light reappeared and the lightning deviates its course passing in tone to me without hitting me directly

my eyes widen in shock "I ... just deflected .. a bolt of lightning" I couldn't believe it, another special power, this body never ceases to amaze me.

You get out of my shok when I hear Shade's voice flying towards me

"Shade!" I called him, as soon as he saw me flying towards me and he wasn't alone, Goth was right behind him chasing him.

The two of us zigzagged into the power plant playing with death, lightning on one side and Goth on the other, I turned to see Goth smile and open his mouth to try to bite Shade, but he dodged him and then we flew down between the iron pipes.

A loud screech of iron filled the area, it was Goth rubbing his band on the pipes creating sparks, Goth seeing this smiled more as he looked at us, that scene was as creepy as the movie Nightmare when the killer rubs his claws on the wall to instill even more fear in the victim.

at that moment we walked towards the fence we were almost close to safety when, a lightning strike the fence electrifying it ... wait a moment electrifying it! , I turned to Goth and observed his band was iron, an idea flashed in my mind

"well Nocturnia if you want me to understand how to control my powers this is the right time"

I thought to myself, then I turned to the my friend

"Shade the fence! let's fly in the middle" he looks at me like I'm crazy "what but .." "trust me I have a plan" or at least I hope.

Shade and I flew up towards the fence and as you can imagine Goth followed us, as we walked, closed my eyes concentrating carefully "come on Frisk deflect the lightning .. deviate the lightning.. deviate ..the ..lightning!" the light was activated as Shade and I passed and the fumes rose above us creating an arch that allowed us to fly safely.

"done it! done it!" I thought happily, but it was then when Goth passed that the arc closed and because of his Goth band he was struck by the electrified and left "AAAAAHHH!" I screamed in pain, I turned to him and saw him looking at me but not with an expression of anger, but of pity, the expression of someone asking for help.

Shortly thereafter it was fired into the air like a rocket and ended up crashing into the forest.

When we landed we heard Throbb's screams of desperation, instinctively we hid behind a tree so as not to be seen as he passed.

when he flew away, me and Shade we approached the ditch where Goth had fallen, and I saw him abrustoliti with bricature on the body the hair was crumpled as well as the beard and from his body came out of the smoke that began to slowly disappear "is it over? " "no it's just begun," Shade replied

"guys" Marina said coming up to us with the owls "wow guys you did it, you took the killer of pigeons, fantastic plan he approached like an idiot and then boom, scratched up" said Eda enthusiastically "we won now the colony is in no danger "said Marina

" but Brutus? " I asked

"don't worry I'll talk to my father and if he doesn't believe me I'll show him the corpse, he'll convince him"

"thanks Orestes" said Shade

"now it's better to go away, I don't want them to discover your escape and think we hit it" Eda

"good idea" exclaims Marina.

my friends flew up but I couldn't take my eyes off the corpse of Goth I still had that expression in my mind, those eyes staring at me and asking me to help him, but I didn't do anything

"Frisk!" I call Shade making me get out of my thoughts

"What are you doing? Aren't you coming?"

I replied "Oh yes a moment guys I have to pee, you start to go I'll join you immediately" I said lying, but he believed me and they went on.

when I saw that they were gone, I lowered myself into the pit and approached the corpse, I didn't know I was doing it, but I was doing it, I approached him and calmly raised his head and said "I'm sorry .. I didn't succeed. to help you .. I didn't want this to happen .. I was hoping you would avoid the bars and go back to the right ... I didn't think you .. "at that moment I feel something wet down my cheeks, I touched myself and saw that it was tears, I was crying, it was so I was crying for the person who nearly killed us all, why was I doing it, why? I had to be relieved because we survived and saved the colony, but the tears did not stop, they wash my cheeks like water that smoothed the rock, some tears ran down Goth's body soaking him, I turned my gaze and saw a bush of flowers near the ditch , at that moment I went there and detached a flower, but in doing so I pricked my hand with its thorns making a few drops of blood fall on the star and the leaves, but I didn't care I would think about it later.

I went back to Goth and in a strange pain I said "I know it seems stupid and also useless, but where I come from, when a person dies we leave him a flower as a sign of mourning, this is mine for you, I'm very sorry .. goodbye Goth "I said with tears running down much faster as I raised Goth's right hand and closed the flower in his fist, I stood looking at it for another minute, plus I got up and wiped the tears from my eyes I didn't want them to see that I have I cried, spread my wings, took one last look at the giant's body then shook my head and flew away.

Third Person Pov.

By the time Goth was in the ditch, he wasn't dead but he was comatose, he could still hear it all but he couldn't move, hear it all hear Eda scoff at him, oh if only he could move

it would make her regret his words bitterly. but then he heard something approaching if a familiar voice "I'm sorry" said he recognized her it was Frisk he heard her cry for him, from his talk he could hear how she felt for him and it left him speechless he felt how the girl's tears touched his her body bathed him giving him a strange feeling of relief from the burning he felt and then he felt how she took his hand and gave him the flower in her fist "goodbye Goth" he felt how she got up to leave, he didn't want him to leave he had to do something, but his body did not respond to his commands but somehow

it was strong enough to open one eye to see her fly away a moan came out of her mouth "se..no ..ri" but unfortunately the moan closed in his mouth and he fainted again.
