Chapter 13 The Great Tree

Kludd's POV

The Next Night

It took twenty four hours, but we had finally arrived at the great tree!

We landed on one of the trunks and I hopped off Twilight's back.

A bunch of owls surrounded us.

Suddenly, I heard this.

"Kludd!"

I turned around...and saw my parents!

They flew up to me.

"Ma", I started in shock. "Pa. What are you two doing here?"

"We came here after we heard about what Soren did."

Of course they would come for Soren.

I turned away when I heard this.

Suddenly, I felt a wing on my shoulder.

I turned around and saw my Pa.

"We're just glad you're okay."

I looked at my father in shock.

I didn't expect him to say that. Especially after all that's happened.

Suddenly, everybody started bowing.

I turned around and saw a white owl walking up to us.

"I'm glad to see you're back safe and sound Soren", he said to my brother before looking at me.

"Who is this?"

"This is my brother Kludd", Soren replied before looking at me. "Kludd, this is King Boron."

Ah. So that's who this is.

"I see", King Boron said. "Come with me."

Ten Minutes Later

I was in a room which Soren told me was the Guardian's meeting room.

"So", King Boron started. "You're Soren's brother."

"Yes", I replied.

"And you're a pure one?"

I was about to answer...when Soren said this.

"Please give him a chance King Boron", he pleaded.

King Boron thought for a moment while looking at me.

Then...he made his decision.

"Very well", he said. "You may stay here." [Forever Brothers Extra: Phew!]

Upon hearing this...Soren let out a sigh of relief before bowing down.

"Thank you King Boron", he said. "You won't regret this."

"I'd better not" King Boron said. "Take your brother to the healing ward to get his wing fixed."

With that Soren bowed down before looking at me.

"Come Kludd."

Ten Minutes Later

My brother and I walked into a hollow where a female barn owl was waiting.

She had light brown feathers and...a prosthetic wing.

She smiled when she saw my brother.

"Hey Soren", she greeted before looking at me. "Who's this?"

"This is my brother Kludd", Soren replied. "He broke his wing. Do you think you can fix it?"

"I'll give it a look", the owl replied.

"Okay", Soren said before looking at me. "See you later Kludd."

"Wait", I said in shock. "Where are you doing?"

But it was too late. Because Soren had already left.

I turned around to look at the girl he was talking to.

"So", I started. "Who are you?"

"My name is Willow", said owl replied. [Forever Brothers Extra: Willow was mention in Chapter 7.]

"And you're supposed to help me", I asked.

"Yeah", the owl (who I now knew was named Willow) replied before showing me her prosthetic wing.

"You see this", she asked. "I got this from a battle years ago. I can give you one too and you can fly again."

"Really", I asked in shock.

"Really", Willow replied. "But first, we need to see how damaged your wing is."

With that Willow walked up to a piece of paper and started writing.

"First off", she started. "How did you break your wing?"

"It got slammed straight into a tree trunk", I replied.

"Ouch", Willow stated. "And when did you brake it?"

"When the guardians battled the Pure Ones", I replied.

"How did you get mixed up in all of that?"

"Long story", I replied.

"Well", Willow started. "I sadly don't think we'll be able to save your wing. We're going to have to amputate it completely and replace it with a prosthetic." [Forever Brothers Extra: Dang it!]

The news didn't upset me. I figured that this is what was going to happen. [Forever Brothers Extra: At least he's not sad about it.]

"Is it going to hurt", I asked.

"Not at all", Willow replied. "We'll put you under during the operation. You'll just wake up with a new wing."

"When will I be able to fly again", I asked.

"I can't give you an exact answer", Willow revealed. "The minimum time is usually a month. And the maximum time is usually a year." [Forever Brothers Extra: (does spit take) A year?!]

Upon hearing this...I looked at Willow in shock.

"What", I asked me in shock. "It may take me a month to a year to fly again."

"It's definitely something you're not going to learn over night", Willow stated.

I mentally wing palmed myself.

There's no way that Nyra would be happy with me taking that long.

I had to find Ness. She would know what to do.

"Hey", I started. "Is there by any chance that a girl named Vanessa has arrived here?"

"Not that I know of", Willow replied. "Why? Is she your girlfriend?"

"I wish." [Forever Brothers Extra: (does spit again) Did he just say...]

"Well", Willow started. "Luckily for you, the day of Confessions is just ten days away." [Forever Brothers Extra: The who of the What now?]

"What's the day of confessions", I asked.

"It's the day where owls confess their love to the one they love." [Forever Brothers Extra: Awww!]

"That sounds too cheesy for my taste", I stated. [Forever Brothers Extra: Ruiner of romance!]

"Cheese is delicious!"

HotXbun: I think I'm going to leave it there.

In case you didn't remember, Venessa is at the great tree. She's using a different name.

Challenge: Tell me if you think will discover that Vanessa is at the great tree.

My Answer: He will. The question is...when?
