Nightfall had arrived by this point and as usual, all the birds have gone into their nests for bed, leaving only the night patrollers of their tribes and nocturnal bird clans. Miguel, Carla, Bia and Tiago had gone to sleep in their own respective trees as did Blu and Jewel who are still in their original tree. Diaglo was just getting onto his room inside the hollow after he decided to stay up late a little to do some moon gazing.

"Finally going to bed now, mom and dad," Diaglo quietly said with love as he passed his sleeping parents. Jewel had smiled her response at hearing her son's voice while Blu snorted inbetween his snoring, deeply sleeping. Diaglo chuckled at this and crept into his own room of the hollow. Parents. He smiled and unstrapped the fanny pack off him to hang it on a branch outside his room.

Because the hollow only had three rooms for him and his siblings, Diaglo used to share the room with Bia; A tidy hole littered with papers and books fitting in the niches that pose as bookshelves. Bia had long moved out of that room taking her stuff with her so Diaglo had inherited all to himself. For a while it was nice. Peaceful.

Sure he got to have not one but technically three rooms to himself now that his siblings have moved out, but it was still lonely. That and Diaglo knew he'll have to find his own tree someday. 'All birds have to leave the nest after all,' He recalled a saying coming from Tulio when a group of school kids came to the Blu Bird Sanctuary back in Rio for a field trip.

The dark cerulean macaw yawned and took off his glasses to put in a niche in the room's wall. Then he curled up with his head tucked under his wing, falling into a deep sleep. For a while, his slumber was peaceful. Until he was plunged into a vortex of a strange dream…

There was heavy rain storm in the forest and the sky was darkened with nearly black-grey rainclouds overhead. Diaglo was drenched. His wings were flapping madly as he tried to fly after several more blue forms and a splash of white with yellow crest; He recognized his siblings and Miguel flying right ahead. They didn't hear his voice due to the loudness of the storm.

A flash of lightning occurred, and then Diaglo was caught in the rushing, choppy river. He was struggling hard to keep his head above the surface and the last thing he saw before submerging entirely was a mostly lapis blue figure with violet eyes full of alarm...

"Hey, Diaglo! Wake up!"

Diaglo gasped and he glanced around wildly, only to be greeted by wide eyed stares coming from the other birds - Young adolescents like him and his siblings. Some were snickering close-by causing a certain hazel-eyed macaw with cerulean feathers to snap. "Quiet!" She snapped making the birds flinch and shut up. Bia glared at them before her gaze softened at Diaglo, who had averted his gaze in embarrassment for sleeping during her orientation this morning.

She went to let another macaw know that she'll be excusing herself for a moment and she nudged Diaglo along to talk.

The siblings touched down in a quiet branch and Bia begun to show her big sister mode, touching Diaglo's shoulder. "Okay Diaglo. For two years you would never fall asleep during a lecture so therefore it means that something has caused you to get inadequate sleep," Her eyes were full of concern. "What happened?" Her bespectacled brother sighed as he recalled the strange turn of events taking place in his dream. It was too detailed, realistic and somewhat terrifying to recount to another macaw.

"I just.. I guess it was me staying up way too long in moon gazing. I was so engrossed.. I forgot the time." Diaglo fibbed and a part of his felt guilty for lying to his sister. But the last he wanted was to worry her due to the dream being so realistic - He hoped Bia could see through the facade. Which fortunately, she did judging by the amused eyeroll she gave. "Well next time, maybe it'll help if you bring a watch with you so you can keep track of time,"

She suggested this wisely to which Diaglo smiled slightly. "Thanks a bunch sis." He chuckled when Bia hugged him and gave his head feathers a noogie. "No problem, sensible little brother of mine," She and Diaglo began to do their little handshake created from when they are chicks; A fist bump and then a bowing of their heads, a modified version of Blu and Linda's handshake.

The two siblings took off from their spot to rejoin the other macaws who have been listening to Bia orientate regarding being a teacher. This time, Diaglo was awake enough to listen, though the feelings of unease never left him. That dream.. There was a storm. He got caught in a river and then there was someone. Could he be predicting the future? Diaglo had no idea and he dismissed this dream altogether to focus on other things. It's just a dream. Dreams are always weird... Right?

He tried not to think too much on that as he focused on the orientation. Soon, Bia finished speaking and her small group dispersed. Now the two siblings are left alone and Bia took Diaglo's talon. "Why don't we go for lunch? I know a good brazil nut tree that's full of them," She offered to which her brother responded with an 'okay', before following her in flight. True to Bia's word, there was indeed a tree full of brazil nuts and it was full of blotches of brown; The large bundles of nuts abundant in the tree.

Diaglo felt his hunger intensify at the sight and he grabbed a nut the moment he perched on a branch. He used his beak to crack open the hard shell and eat the goodness inside. Bia did the same with hers and ate as well, watching her brother in the process. They plucked a couple more nuts from the branches until they were greeted by a passing flock of blue macaws with a familiar, elder male at the front. His two grandchildren grinned and waved.

"Morning Pop-pop!" Diaglo and Bia chorused, grabbing their maternal grandfather's attention. Eduardo stopped halfway in flight and spotted two of his daughter's kids. "Ah, Diaglo! Bia! Good Morning!" The older macaw motioned for his tribe members to follow him and they touched down on the branches before the two adolescents.

Diaglo recognized the birds behind Eduardo as some of the patrols he had come across yesterday with Tiago and Rodrigo. "Going on the morning patrol, Pop-pop?" He asked. Eduardo nodded stiffly, though there was a small smile on his beak despite the serious image. "The patrol for this morning's alright so far. My birds and I were just returning from weather patrol at your Abby-ma's."

This made the two brainy youngers fascinated and their eyes were full of curiosity. "Ooh the climatology team, neat!" Bia was bouncing slightly in recalling meeting the said group of birds in Abigail's tribe. "What's the news so far?"

At this, Eduardo's smile fell and he turned serious. "Oh yes, I was going to let the whole tribe know about it and Abigail had sent some of her macaws to tell the other tribes," Eduardo glanced at each of the macaws around him; Some others perching in the trees have overheard and were craning their heads forward to listen.

Seeing that there is an ample audience available, Eduardo proceeded to speak. "Right everyone. We have just received word from the weather team of Abigail's tribe and we were told that a heavy storm is on its way anytime soon," The listening macaws flinched in worry and were exchanging whispers with one another. Bia looked concerned and Diaglo was wincing. "So you all know the drill; Once the skies are dark with rainclouds and it starts drizzling, you are to fly back to the ravine at once! Do I make myself clear?"

All the audience nodded and Eduardo dismissed them. Diaglo stood rooted to his branch, his gold eyes filled with unexplainable tenseness. "Come on Diaglo," Bia had to pull him away and Diaglo was snapped out of his distraught.
