LOTG – Adventure To Ga'hoole Chapter 6
I started walking with Dave to the Parliament chamber.
"Like I said, they might see me as a threat. We need to be clear on how we'll handle this." He said.
"Don't worry. Like I said, nobody will think of you as that." I said.
We reached the room. I saw Kng Boron talking to Qyeen Barran.
"Ahem. Excuse me?" I said, catching their attention.
"Yes Jack? Who's that owl?" He asked.
"His name is Dave. He's my friend. He's from St. Aegelious." I said.
"Hm. And how do we know he won't try to attack us or raid this tree?" He asked.
"Because I left St. Aegelious. I'm not going back. I'm gonna be on this side now." Dave said.
"Very well then. Based on what you're good at, you will be assigned a chaw." King Boron said.
"Okay." Dave said.
"Dismissed." Boron said.
Dave and I headed out of the Parliament Chamber.
"See, that wasn"t so bad." I said.
"Yeah. It could've been worse. At ;east he didn't kick me out of the tree and back to St. Aegelious." He said.
"Yeah. I'll see ya later." I said, walking away from him. I headed to Soren and his friends.
I found them at a table, talking to each other.
"Hey guys." I said.
"Hey Jack. Where'd you go? Did you leave earlier?" He asked.
"Yeah. I brought a friend here. He's gonna be on our side now." I said.
"Where is he?" Twilight asked.
"He's exploring the tree. What did you guys do?" I asked.
"We all went through a fighting class." Twilight said, with a bored and annoyed tone.
"It didn't go that well for you?" I asked, chuckling.
"No. Sadly. I got my feathers kicked by Otulissa." He said.
"Oh damn!" I said.
"BOO!" I heard someone say from behind me. I fell forward and landed on the table. I looked behind me and saw Otulissa laughing at me.
"Otulissa?!" I said, trying to catch my breath and freaking out.
"Hello Jack. Did you run off?" She asked.
"No. Why?" I asked.
"Because I saw you leave earlier." She said.
"Oh. I brought a friend. That's what I did." I said. She nodded.
"His name is Dave. He was a soldier at St. Aegelious." I said. I got off the table and dusted off my chest.
Interesting." Digger said.
"Wait, a soldier?" Gylfie asked.
"Yeah. He's also my best friend," I said.
"That's pretty cool." Soren said. So after a few minutes of talking, Otulissa took Soren and us to a flying chaw. Ezylyrb was the one teaching us. He lead us to a very stormy area filled with a lot of rain.
"This is the way you all will learn!" Ezylyrb said.
"I seriously need to trethink this.. " I muttered.
"Oh, you'll get used to it. I have to and so do we." Otulissa said,struggling through the rain.
"I hope Mac made it. If not, then I will get my revenge on Foster." I thought.
"Hey Jack?" gylfie asked.
"What?" I asked.
"How many more wer suppose to come with you?" She asked.
"One. But a nemesis of mine got him. Last time I saw him, he was still fighting my friend. He told me and Dave to escape" I said.
"Do you think he's alright?" She asked.
"I sure hope so. He's old. But still my best friend." I said.
"What's his name?" She asked.
"Mac. He's a veteran soldier. He still served Metal Beak, but I told him to come with me and he was, but my enemy grabbed his leg." I said.
"Now, feel the currents of the rain. The baggy wrinkles!" Ezylryb said, flying about.
"Baggy wrinkles? Ugh! He could've given us a vocabulary lesson!" Otulissa exclaimed.
"Yeah.. damn right." I agreed. "Are we gonna go through these kind of lessons all the time?"
"Yes. You all must learn to fly in tough weathers, especially the snow." Ezylyrb said, looking at me. "Soren, you see that twister? Go for it! Fly inside!"
Soren flew into the twister.
"Is he crazy?!" I wondered.
Soren started rolling in a circle while flying.
"He sees it. He sees it." Ezylyrb said.
"Sees what?" I asked.
"He's flying inside.. with his gizzard." Ezylyrb said.
Then Soren was about to fly to us with that turn. He opened his eyes and lost momentum.
He started losing control and almost crashed into Twilight. He was falling to the ocean.
Ezylyrb and I chased after him. Ezylyrb made it to him first. He saved him from taking impact with the ocean.
"Owl, come to my hollow." He said.
"What the hell was that?!" I asked.
"I don't know. I just ended up falling like that." Soren said.
"Ugh. Come on." I said. We headed back to the tree.
(A little while later)
I headed to the food area where everybody was eating. Otulissa walked up to me.
"Hi Otulissa." I said.
"Hello Jack." She said.
"So, while you were gone earlier, the King told me about you and the queen of the pure ones." She said.
I looked away from her. I grabbed a bowl and started getting some food.
"Was she your friend?" She asked.
"Yes. She was like a mother to me. I even called her that sometimes. Even though she told me not to call her that, I still did. I didn't know she was a bad owl until I found out her plan with Metal Beak. And I left because of that. With Soren and Gylfie, then Twilight, Digger and the snake joined us." I said.
"Interesting. When did she take care of you?" She asked.
"When I was little, then a few years later, I was on my own again. Then I found St. Aegelious. A pure one soldier put me with a bunch of owlets, that were ready for enslavement." I explained.
"Damn. Were you a slave?" She asked. I looked at her.
"No. Nyra quickly recognized me and put me with a few other owls that were gonna be trained to be a soldier. She told the guards not to lay a talon on me or she would kill them." I explained. I walked to a nearby area and started eating.
"Then I made friends with a few owls. I met dave, who is right over there." I said, pointing to a corner where Dave was eating a bowl of worms.
Dave noticed me and brought his bowl over to me and started eating.
"I heard you telling a story. I think I might add some parts." Dave said.
"Please continue." Otulissa said.
"Anyway, I was picked on by some owls. There was one named Foster. Another named Dustin." I said.
"Yeah. I stood up for him when he was picked on by him. Sometimes we would start fights. I made him run away one time." Dave said.
"Whoa. Continue." Otulissa said.
"Then I Found an are where all the dead bodies go." I said. "It smelled really horrible."
"Yeah. It did, didn't it?" Dave asked.
"Yes it did. Yes it did." I replied.
"Hey, who's this by the way?" Dave asked. "This your girlfriend?"
I blushed. "No! This is Otulissa." I said.
I saw her blushing too.
Dave noticed this and grinned. "So how long have you two been going out?" He joked.
"Um, could you excuse us for a moment?" I said to Otulissa. I had a big blush over my beak now. I was pushing Dave to a private place.
As soon as we were away from Otulissa, I spoke.
"What the hell are you doing, man?!" I whispered angrily.
"dude, I was just asking how long have you two been going out. It's not like I meant it." Dave whispered back, smiling.
"Ugh! You could've humiliated me right there!" I said.
"Of what? It's not like you were actually gonna talk to her." He said.
"I was talking to her! You idiot!" I said.
"Jeez, I'm sorry then. Alright?" He apologized.
"Yeah it's fine. I'm gonna go back to the food area." I said, walking away.
""Try not to wet yourself." He joked.
"Shut up." I said. He chuckled.
A/N – Now, I don't know if the argument part was based off of anything, but I thought it was a little funny. Again, please read and review and tell me what you think. See ya.
