Sorry, it's been a long time since I updated this! But here we go!
Skyy woke to find herself laying on a hay bale. The smell was warm and comforting.
Here, said Chinko as he pushed a piece of fish towards her, The farmer all ways feeds me.
Thank you, said Skyy as she gobbled up the fish, she had been hungry! Chinko? She said, Thank you for letting me spend the night with you but I really should be going.
Chinko looked sad, Why? You just got here?
Skyy sighed, I have to go home.
But why? Asked the cat, We haven't even gotten to play yet!
I know, but I really have to go! Said Skyy, she didn't want to hurt his feelings but knew that she had.
Will you come and visit me again sometime? Chinko wanted to know.
We'll see, said Skyy as she shifted into a crow.
Chinko looked at her surprised, Wow. That was so cool! Do it again!
Next time! Said Skyy with a laugh as she flew away. As she took off though she noticed that her wings felt like lead and her head ached. She didn't think that she could fly all the way to Corus without a rest. She decided to stop and rest at her father's tower. It had been a long time since she had been there and she had always liked it.
When she reached the tower she nearly clasped as she landed. Her wings hurt and she was so exausted that she could barely shift back into a human. She put her hand on the door and looked around herself nervously, she didn't have any clothes! She closed her eyes and gingerly stroked the door and muttered the password, "Skysong." The door swung open and she leapt inside.
It was dark and chilly in the tower, she grabed a blanket off a chair that they always kept on a table near the door, you never knew who would come to call at that tower or what condition they would be in. She wrapped herself in it and sighed as she heat began to fill her skin and mind. She wanted to go to sleep right then and there, but she knew that she would have to eat something first. It would do her no good to fall asleep but not be able to get out of bed then next because she fell ill! So she began to climb up the stairs that lead to the top of the tower. The tower was about 300 feet tall and consisted of 15 floors. The ground floor had no prpous, just a place where people who came to call could enter and exit through and hang there coats. That first floor was cold, dim, and somewhat dreary. It gave the impression that the tower wall all made of cold, damp, grey stone, but once you reached the upper levels you realized that it wasn't that bad. The walls were covered in tapestries and the floors had plush rugs. The windows offered sweeping views.
When Skky reached the second floor she entered the kitchen to see if there was any food lying around. Her family hadn't been there for months. Once she was born her family mostly lived at court. She dug around a drawer and found some strips of dried meat and a piece of moldy bread.
For a mages tower there really isn't anything wonderful to eat around here, she thought to herself as she took a bite of the meat. She walk up three more levels before reaching the one that had her bedroom on it.
She open the door to her room and sighed. It was good to be back. She lit a candle then curled up under the blankets on her bed and fell asleep.
Chinko says review this or he wont share his fish with you!
