Into The Unknown - Chapter 6 (Search Party)
Inside the hollow Blu who couldn't be even more depressed about his missing son stared into the storm wondering if Tiago would be able to survive until they couldn't find him or if he is even alive at all. Everything was silent, all that could be heard was the sound of rain hitting off branches and occasionally some thunder he looked inside his hollow to see his wife sleeping with her daughters held tightly in her wings.
"If only I had stayed behind them maybe this wouldn't of happened, we could of been altogether." Blu muttered "We should of came back when we had the chance to".
Blu then looked back outside leaning against the wall.
Meanwhile in a unknown area .
On the ground there lay a pile of leaves some darker than the others positioned in a way were something hid underneath them suddenly the leaves began the shake about causing some to fall off soon talons could be seen followed by wings then eventually when the last leave fell off a child macaw lay. One of his eyes were shut completely while the other one was half opened he tried to get up but soon collapsed onto his stomach but he managed to lift himself up. He looked all around his space to only find a lot of trees which leaves made for the sky not to be seen and a small cliff.
"Mommy?, Daddy?" Tiago whimpered to himself with his wings close by his chest as fear began to build up.
His wings were now shivering not only from fear but now from the rain that had been soaking him ever since he removed the leaves covering him up.
"I need to find somewhere were there rain cant soak me" Tiago said to himself while trying to act calm .
He tried to take flight but the heavy rain grounded him, He then started walking deeper within thinking that he was getting further away. He kept walking for 20 minutes until he saw a small hill with one of those tall trees beside it and in the tree he saw a small hollow facing the hill.
"Maybe I can get up there!" Tiago said to himself.
On the way up he saw a his reflection in a puddle near him when he looked in it he saw a dried blood leading from the top of his head to the end of his beak, he kept looking for the wound with his wing until eventually he felt a enormous pain searing threw his body he found it near the his temple. After checking it again Tiago walked on to the top went he got on top of the hill he saw the hollow not to far away if he can build up speed and jump he could probably make it inside. Before doing so he went over to the edge and looked down then swiftly walking away from the edge.
"Wow that's a long fall" Tiago muttered with a bit of sarcasm "Alright lets do this".
He went as far back as he thought he needed then started hopping on his talons with his wings extended hoping for him to glide down if he didn't make it then he sprinted forward as fast as possible counting down.
"3...2...1...NOW!" Tiago shouted as he jumped off the hill .
he could see that he was going to make it he then straightened his body looking like a torpedo while aiming for the entrance he landed on one of the branches directly outside with both of his talons holding firmly to the branch. He put into wings into the empty hollow and pushed himself up. But suddenly the branch underneath him snapped in half leaving him handing from his wings that were also now slipping due to them being wet. With every strength he had left he forced himself into the hollow doing a tumble then landing on his back catching his breath.
"YES!... I DID IT!" He yelled in victory between his breaths.
After he embraced his goal he got up and looked outside thinking about what his family are doing or if there looking for him right now but he knew that they couldn't in this weather so he took the time to see what his new hollow was like.
Back with Blu and All .
The Storm was starting to fade away same with the rain letting Blu and everyone fly outside once they were out they wasted no time on tracking down Jewels aunt Mimi to look after the kids while they were away then they went to find Eduardo who was gathering food, Blu and Jewel landed beside him.
"Dad!, we need your help!" Jewel pleaded.
"What happened?" Eduardo responded with a serious tone.
"Our son Tiago, when we were coming home and he got lost on the way!" Blu interrupted in.
"Were is he!" Eduardo demanded .
"We don't know what you call it but its a area were trees are everywhere and there the tallest that I've ever seen" Jewel responded while pointing the direction were Tiago went missing.
"Alright go back to your hollow and stay with your kids ill get Roberto and others and go look for him" Eduardo ordered.
"Our kids are with Mimi I asked her to mind them so we can go look for Tiago" Jewel explained.
"Fine then go back to your hollow anyways ill meet you there when were ready" Eduardo repeated .
Blu and Jewel both nodded there heads and flew off back to there hollow waiting, Meanwhile Eduardo was flying as fast as he could trying to find Roberto who was sitting in his hollow talking to some of his friends friends, Eduardo dove in and got there attention.
"Hey come on we need all your help!" He ordered everyone.
All of them stood up and walked towards Eduardo.
"What's wrong?" Roberto questioned .
"Jewel's son went missing! now I want all of you to gather others you all know that can help us in this situation!" Eduardo staring all 5 of them while speaking his words.
"Okay were are we meeting up?" One of the macaws asked .
"Outside Jewel and Blu's Hollow, if you don't know were it is just follow Roberto now lets go". Was his last words as he extended one wing outside and the other rotating in a circle.
All six birds flew off in separate directions.
Meanwhile in a Unknown area.
Tiago was currently was sleeping the corner of his newly found Hollow until he heard something make a scream to which he quickly ran over to the entrance but all he could see was grass and trees. But he could of sworn of saw something in the shadows staring back at him but his vision was blurry from just literally waking up so he wiped his eyes and looked back only to see trees sway left and right.
"What was that?" Tiago thought to himself .
But when he thought about it he heard another sound this one how ever wasn't coming from the trees or the cliff but from his own stomach, he'd been too used to be given food by his Mother and never actually knew how to get fruits and nuts. He then stuck his head out of the hollow again and searched for any type food that might be attached to trees finally he saw two mangos fully grown not to far away from him. He extended his wings and took flight. But when he reached the tree he attempted to grab one and pull but it wouldn't break off he then tried it again but no difference so he resorted to using his beak to chew threw the stick like thing attached to the fruit.
"Mfff Muffffff! mffffff mphhhhh" Tiago while pulling the fruit with his beak and talons .
Afterwards with no succession he attempted it on more time and put all of his power into it making it snap and he was sent plummeting into the ground but he managed to re -gain control of himself and flew back towards his hollow that's when he noticed that the sun was as high as it will get and start descending according to his father he thought as he landed in the hollow and sat down eating on a fruit half the size of him .
