LOTG : Adventure To Ga'hoole Chapter 5
I followed Soren and the two big, white owls. They looked like spotted owls.
"Soren, where are you going?" I asked.
"These two, saved Digger. I need to follow them. They are the Guardians." He said, still paying attention to them.
"Yes I know that, but.. (Sigh) Okay. Come on, Twilight, Gylfie, let's go." I said, following Soren.
We followed them for a little while, until I saw a very big tree.
"(Gasp) The Great tree of Ga'hoole. We're finally here." I said to myself.
"Yup. It truly is a beauty, isn't it?" Twilight asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. And I'm defecting to this place." I said. We landed on the front area.
Two owls rang the gong or bell or whatever you call it, to signal our arrival.
Soren was looking very amazed and fascinated by the looks of the entire tree. I started walking to the Parliament chamber with the two big owls.
All the owls in there looked at me.
Hello, fellow owls." I said, trying to be nice. I didn't want them to hate me right away. Soren followed me as well as Gylfie.
(A little while later)
"These owlets claim that were prisoners, except this black owl. Tell us your name, young one." The owl with the big ears said to me.
"First, please tell me yours." I said.
"Very well. I am Bubo, the blacksmith. Now, tell me your name, young man." Bubo said.
"I am Jack. I don't really have a last name. I was partially raised by Queen Nyra Canner. When I was little though." Isaid, looking down.
"You were raised by the queen of the Pure ones?" The King asked.
"Yes, I was with the pure ones, but when I found out what Nyra and Metal Beak were up to, I couldn't bear it, so I defected and came here with these two brave ones." I said, gesturing to Soren and Gylfie.
"Hm.. if you are defecting, you understand that you'll be siding with us, and fighting against them, right?" The king said.
I nodded. "Yes, clearly." I said. "What's your name?" I asked.
"I am Born, and this is my wife : Barran. That one over there is Strix Struma." Boron said, gesturing to a female spotted owl. She smiled at me.
I smiled back and nodded.
"And that right there is our lord Allomere." Born said, gesturing to a great grey, who looked old.
Allomere just stared at me with a stern look.
"I know this owl. He was there at St. Aegelious." I thought. I frowned at him.
"And that over there, is Ezylyrb." Allomere said, pointing to an old owl, still looking at me.
I looked at the old owl, Allomere introduced. He smiled at me.
"Now then, so far what we've gathered as intellegence, is what they are using could be deadly. It could be a weapon," Bubo said.
"Ahem. Having examining these two, they do show signs of the trials that they described." "Queen Barran said.
"If beggars believe that these brave owlets would fly here, by themselves. Dosen't my lord Allomere feel otherwise?" Strix Struma asked.
"Oh good glaux." Allomere said. "Boron, your majesty. Metal Beak is real. And he intends to conquer the world with magical pellet debris. But, such a story like they described could strecth possibilities too far."
I growled at him.
"Problem, Jack?" Boron asked.
"What Soren said isn't a story. The so called "Story" that Allomere called it, really isn't a story. Because I was there." I said.
"Hm. So there's another one who was there. I'll take your word for it, for now. Allomere, I want you to take your best owls with you to St. Aegelious and be thorough." Boron said, then he used a hammer like thing and hit the wooden plate.
All the owls left the Paliament chamber.
I decided to follow Soren and Gylfie.
"Wow Soren. We did it." She said.
"Yeah, we did. I just hope Allomere finds the owlets." Soren said.
"Ah. To be a young owlet with a taste for adventure. Well done to hold your own in there. So more nice, strong gizzards." Ezylyrb said. He flew away.
"Wow, he is one strange owl." Soren said.
"Yeah. I've seen stranger though." I said, scratching my head.
"I think he's missing a few talons." Gylfie said.
"And a good bath." A female owl said. "Gross old owl. You'll want to stay out his chaw."
She was a spotted owl. A very beautiful one. I stared at her in dreaminess. Soren was staring at her too.
"Chaw?" Gylfie asked.
"Ugh. I'll tell you on the way to dinner. You're already late." The spotted owl said.
Me, Soren and Gylfie followed her down to the ground.
"Now, the matron's instructed me to give you a list of things we do around here." The spotted owl said.
"Dude, she's so pretty.. " I said.
"I know. I can't stop staring at her." Soren said. Gylfie grabbed a rock and hit my head, which had no effect on me.
"Guys, snap out of it!" She said.
"Ugh. Can you be quiet? I'm trying to talk." The spotted owl said, to Gylfie.
"Pfft." Gylfie said.
"Now, if however, you do have talents, you'll be tapped or selected for a specialized chaw." The spotted owl said.
I think she was looking at me.
"W- Wait, who are you?" Gylfie interrupted.
"Are you going to keep interrupting me?" The spotted owl asked, getting pissed off.
Gylfie backed off.
"Now, I'd like you two to try your best. Name's Otulissa, by the way." The spotted owl introduced.
""I- I'm Soren." Soren introduced.
Otulissa smiled at him, then at me.
"I believe your friends are in there." She said, looking at Soren, and gesturing to a food table.
Soren and Gylfie walked away.
"Digger! Hi!" Gylfie said.
Otulissa noticed me staring at her.
"Are you going to stare at me all day?" She asked, smiling.
My eyes have seen a beauty so beautiful, I cannot look away." I said, still stuck in a daydream.
I heard her giggle.
I snapped out of it.
"Oh! Um.. hi there. My name's Jack. I'm new here!" I said, blushing hard at what I previously said.
Otulissa chuckled at me. "So, what are your talents?" She asked.
"I can fight a little well. I was at St. Aegelious, but I defected and came here." I said.
"Hm. I'll see if I can find a chaw for you. What are your talents?"
"I haven't really thought about it. I guess I'm good at fighting." I said.
"Okay. You'll be a soldier." She said. I nodded.
She walked away. I looked at her again.
She looked at me again and smiled.
"I'll see you later." She said.
I waved bye with my talon.
"I must bring my friends here. They're not safe at St. Aegelious." I said to myself. I turned around and flew to the direction of St. Aeglious.
"I must bring them here. They can't be there anymore." I said.
(About an hour later)
I reached the bottom of the canyons of St. Aegelious.
(WARNING : Might be a little Rated M due to blood & gore.)
I grabbed a stick, set it on fire with friction and started running. I looked up and saw a guard looking at at the moon.
I flew up and snuck up on him. I jabbed the stick forward and impaled the back of his neck. Blood came out. I wrapped my wing around his head, coverng his mouth to prevent him from screaming loudly, alerting his friends.
"SHH SHH!" I shushed him. He lost consciousness and died.
"Nighty night." I said. I grabbed his helmet.
"Hm. Din. He wasn't too bright." I said. I put on his helmet and flew up.
I had to wear the helmet to look like a soldier.
"I think that we could find him. He shouldn't be too far away. He shouldn't." Metal Beak said.
Nyra nodded.
"Lord Metal Beak!" A guard said.
Metal beak quickly averted his attention to the guard who said that.
"Yes, what is it this time?" Metal Beak asked.
"Jack has disappeared! I can't find him anywhere!" The guard said.
"Yes. We know that. Dismissed." Metal Beak said.
The guard nodded and flew away.
"I hope he's okay. I can't stand not knowing if he's alright." Nyra said.
"He probably is. Don't worry, dear." Metal Beak said, rubbing Nyra's back.
She nodded.
I was flying all the way to the place Dave usually was hanging. I set foot on the ground. I saw Dave kissing the same girl he was talking to previously.
"Ew." I said. "Dave!"
He stopped kissing the girl and looked at me.
He was blushing red. "Um! This isn't what it looks like!" He said, moving away from the female owl.
"Indeed it is." I said. "I need to talk to you."
The female flew away. Dave waved bye to her.
"What is it, man?" He asked me.
"We need to escape. I'm taking you to the Great tree of Ga'hoole." I said.
"But, we'll get killed if we attempt that." Dave said.
"Not if we do this MY way." I said.
"Okay. Good, I'd love to leave this place. This place is hagsmire." He said.
"Excellent. Now we need to get Mac." I said.
Dave and I flew to a platform.
I saw Mac keeping watch on the canyon.
"Mac!" I said.
He looked at me.
"Jack? What're you doing here?" Mac asked.
"We're escaping. You're coming with us." I said.
"But we'll get into serious trouble if we do that." He said.
"Not if we do this quietly. MY way." I said.
"Okay. I'm in." He said.
We started flying to an abandoned path so nobody could catch us.
Nobody really guards that path. It's ABANDONED.
We started flying up.
"We're actually escaping!" Dave exclaimed happily.
Then suddenly Mac's leg got grabbed by somebody.
"AGH!" He exclaimed.
I looked back and saw one of my nemesises. His name was Foster. A very good fighter.
"Going somewhere?" He asked.
Mac kicked Foster's face with his free talon.
Mac had a sword on him. He took it out with his left wing.
"Go! Now!" Mac said. I nodded and Dave and I flew away.
"You really think you can escape?! After you made a big fool out of me?! I don't think so!" Foster exclaimed.
Me and Dave escaped from St. Aegelious.
(Another hour later)
We reached the front area of ga'hoole. The two owls banged the gong again to signal our arrival.
Me and Dave set foot.
A few owls looked at us.
"We should head to the King." I said.
"Yeah. I just hope that they don't think of me as a threat." Dave said, looking at me.
"Relax, Dave. I don't think that they think of you as that. But if you try to attack them, then yeah, they might, but other than that, no." I said.
He nodded.
A/N – That's it for this chapter. See ya on the next one!
