Disclaimer: Yee! I don' own! Except the characters. And the plot.
I know, I know, I really should work on other ficcies. But my muses aren't cooperating. Except Rrissa, at the moment.
I should actually be working on my Science homework, but I don't care.
Muse responsible: Rrissa!
And my charrie's name is Liluye, which is Native American for Singing Hawk while Soaring. I just thought it sounded cool. She's 17. And she lives in Rethwellan, near the Pelagiris. Actually, it wouldn't take her that long to stumble into Hawkbrother territory-maybe a day or two. And this is a coupla years before Oathbound.
--------------------------------------------
I whistled while I shouldered my pack, ready to leave my family's little farm for some adventure.
[Maybe I'll go join a merc Company...nah, I want to see the world first!]
I settled the pack with a quick twist, and waved goodbye to my family.
[Think I'll go west.]
I consulted my compass, then hiked over a ridge and out of sight of my family.
I hiked several miles in silence. The forest whispered around me. "Always knew there was strange stuff roundabouts..." I muttered to no one.
To shed my uneasiness, I began to sing, first unsteadily, then growing more confident. Soon, I was absorbed in a longwinded love ballad, occasionally breaking down laughing when it grew particularly sappy.
I heard a hawk scream above. I looked up instantly and saw-
A hawk-eagle, larger than I had ever seen in my life, was diving at me.
Instantly, I shrank down and huddled against the ground, hoping it would pull up and away.
Then, I saw talons on the ground ahead of me. I looked up very slightly and saw a bright golden eye staring quizzically at me.
I scrambled backward, afraid my eyes were going to be gone within moments.
The hawk-eagle hopped forward, its crest rising a bit.
[What-the-nine-hells-is-going-ON?] I thought to no one.
The hawk-eagle chirped.
Chirped. I'd never heard a raptor chirp.
Gently, it reached forward and nibbled at my bootlace.
"Aungah?" I managed to squeak.
The hawk-eagle looked up and me. Shortly afterwards, I received the biggest shock of my life.
:I Kree! You be my friend, yes?:
-----------------------------------------------
I bet you're wondering just what happened too.
No, Liluye is not a Hawkbrother. She's heard vague legends of them, but that's about it.
Kree's a male crested hawk-eagle. He's pretty young, so he'll get smarter- remember Hylarr?
And I'll leave you there. At least I didn't prolong it for 16 chappies like in Kamaria...
BTW, Krathnae, help me on Kamaria now, or your feathery butt will be kicked into November!
