-The Sky Darkened, lightning flashed, the wind howled, and he saw the Hawk-

Gale loitered on the corner by the apothecary, keeping his back to the store. In front of him was his fellow street rat in crime Rollan. Down the cobbled street, between buildings with thick plaster walls and rounded facades, Smarty and Red were looking their way. Gale tried to convey with his eyes that they shouldn't draw attention to him. They got the message and faced elsewhere.

He was an orphan just like Rollan except he was one since he was born. He knew that stealing was a key part of survival. Even so, his friend Rollan avoided it as much as possible. But his current problem was not trying to convert Rollan to stealing but his other friend Digger had a terrible fever. They had wasted the willow extract that they had before on small illnesses. Had they known this was coming, they would have saved some, but it was to late.

They wouldn't be in this mess if Hands hadn't been arrested. The boy had a gift for pilfering, and life had been much more comfortable with him around. But Hands got greedy and started going after real valuables. The militia caught him and locked him up.

He saw Rollan glance over his should at the apothecary. As with many businesses in town, a banner emblazoned with Essix the Falcon, patron beast of Amaya, hung over the entrance and right next to the doors were statues of one of the 5 Lost Souls, Shuriken the Red Tailed Hawk, master of wind. But Digger really needed help. He was burning up, and it kept getting worse. Without medicine, he could die.

He then saw Rollan fold his arms and scowl at the ground. Gale just laughed because he looked like a 2 year old pouting. Rollan was his best friend and he often liked to tease him and he tried to nickname him Justice, but Rollan declined. He tried also tried to nickname him Robin Hood but Rollan just dodged that attempt to. However, Gale did have a nickname and one he was proud of too, his was Storm. He got his nickname because he always knew when a storm was coming plus he was the fastest one out of his orphan group. Red said that he was as fast as lightning in a lightning storm so that's when they started calling him Storm.

Getting a job in the apothecary would be difficult. Especially with both of them trying to get a job. If things looked bad they agreed that he would go to the West side apothecary instead. Rollan finally tapped Gale and motioned him to start the plan. Gale responded with a nod and they started for the apothecary but midway Gale stopped.

"Rollan, I don't think it's a good idea for both of us to go. So, I'm gonna go to the west side of towns apothecary. If we go in together than he will definitely think something is up."

"Alright, good luck Storm."

"Oh please I can run faster than lightning itself."

"Ha! As if, well I better get going." Rollan said as he started back off to the apothecary. Gale then turned and ran under and over people and into alleyways till he finally was at the West side apothecary.

Gale stopped behind a wall too quickly catch his breath. He then composed himself and tried to make his hair and clothes look as neat as possible so he could have a better chance of getting at least a job to pay for the willow extract then calmly walked into the apothecary.

"Hello and welcome to... GET OUT YOU STREET RAT!"

"Please mister Wilson sir, hear me out."

"Fine."

"Sir, my friend is very sick and it keeps getting worse. If you could please at least give me a job so I can pay you back for the willow extract."

" And why would I do that?"

"Because you would be a hero. You would be the hero that helped a very ill child."

" By remembering I have a business to run and a boss I have to decline your offer. Now GET OUT!"

"But, please sir..."

"Scott!"

That's when a giant muscular man sat up from a table in the corner and grabbed Gale by the collar of his shirt and lifted him off the ground. Right as that happened Mr. Wilson called for the guards and 2 came marching in.

"What is it sir?" asked one of the guards

"This street rat is harassing my boss and his shop take him away." hissed Mr. Wilson

"Of course sir." the guards answered

"Wait I was just asking if I could..." but before Gale could finish, the guards put his hands in shackles and took him away to their headquarters.

In their headquarters, they had a basement with a row of cells along the walls. They had mold, dirty straw, crusty blood stains from jail fights, and torn pieces of clothes for blankets. In one of them he saw familiar brown hair.

"Rollan you got caught ha!"

" Look who's talking, Storm you are supposed to be the fastest out of our group."

"Oh please, you don't steal and you're in jail?"

"It's all thanks to Smarty. But at least Digger will get the Willow Extract."

The guard then roughly shoved Gale into the cell across from Rollan.

"What is your age?" asked the guard

"11... and a half like your size." He said referring to the guard that looked like a 10 year old. The guard just huffed at him and walked away back up the stairs to the main building.

"So how did Smarty get in without being noticed?"

"I dunno he was just there."

"Why do you think he asked us for our age?"

"Who knows maybe the short one needed to get stilts so he seems more menacing."

"Oh, how about we nickname him Pipsqueak!"

Right as Gale said that the guards came back with militiamen and a Greencloak, one with a rat in a cage and another with a flask. The one with the cage let them both Rollan and Gale out. The one with the flask then handed it to Rollan. "What is in this?" asked Rollan "It's the Nectar of Ninani." answered one of the guards. Rollan and Gale then glanced at each other and nodded. Rollan took a sip and Gale felt the ground shake and then in a flash of light a Gyrfalcon appeared. "Um... Rollan are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Rollan said nothing he just stood still with a shocked expression as the Gyrfalcon flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder. "Hello Rollan?" exclaimed Gale as he waved his hand in front of Rollan's eyes.

Rollans finally snapped out of it and pet the falcon under the neck "Dude you summoned a chicken!" Gale laughed. The falcon shrieked and pecked at Gale. "It's a she...and its THE Essix." Rollan explained and Gale immediately stopped laughing. "Your next class clown." The guard then gave Gale the flask. "Bottoms up, boy."

He then took a sip from the flask and a tingling sensation then started in his chest and spread out to the rest of his body. The rat began to squeak and squeal and go crazy. The ground began to tremble. The torches flickered and went out. A brilliant flash pierced through the darkness, it was like lightning.

The flash of light then stopped and Gale had to blink to make his vision clear. He felt surprisingly joyful despite the fear he just had.

And then he saw the Hawk.

Gale's jaw dropped he has seen hawks before but not one with such beautiful red-orange tail feather or this enormous! It was at least 3 times as big as the biggest hawk he has ever seen! The hawk had extraordinary brown feathers with a bit of white here and there and white belly.

But the eyes were gold like the sun. Wait gold eyes and a red tailed hawk? Only 1 Hawk had gold eyes in Erdas history. Shuriken. The great hawk opened its beak and spread its wings only to make a loud shriek and a giant gust of wind blew in the underground jail.

This was him, this was Shuriken the Red-Tailed Hawk said to be able to control wind. The one that was apart of the Lost Souls, THE Lost Souls that are apart of the Great Beasts but were killed after they defeated Gerathon and Kovo with their powers.

The hawk then flapped its wings and landed on Gale's shoulder and its wing span was the size of his arm span. It's muscles bulging with strength. Rollan stood there in shock along with the guards. Gale put his finger out to put under the birds chin and the bird let him. The touch was electric, and Gale's tingling immediately ceased.

For a instant, Gale felt free, intelligent, and fast. He breathed in the scent of the hawk, and saw the details of his feathers with enhanced scenes.

Then it all ceased in an instant.

One of the guards left and came back with a man in a blue cloak that said his name with Zerif and let the man take them. But Gale didn't trust him and Rollan didn't seem to either so once they got a little ways away from the jail they both bolted with Gale in the lead and Essix and Shuriken keeping up with him. They eventually reached the woods where a man with a moose was standing and the moose charged towards them and they quickly dodged it. The moose basically was like a battering ram and rammed into Zerif sending him flying.

"Your Olvan the leader of the Greencloaks aren't you?" Rollan asked "Yes, quite indeed. But we must hurry before that man recovers." Olvan resoponded and they quickly followed the path out of the city.
