Aquila
After a while, we had to stop. Uncle Slick wasn't too good of a condition to be wandering around everywhere. I removed my dad's reliquary from around my neck and set it down next to me.
"You took your father's reliquary" Uncle Slick noted.
"No, it's mine. He gave it to me a few years ago. Why's it matter?".
"Well, there's something I think you should know about that reliquary. Believe it or not, your father has no idea as to where or how he got it".
"No memory?" I asked.
"It's a long story, but I think he should explain it".
Just then, a raven flew over us. I stared at it, not sure what to think of it.
"How are you here?" I asked, not expecting an answer, "There's no air here".
"It's a spirit" Oil Slick got to his feet.
"A what?".
"A spirit. Another long story that I think your father should explain".
I continued to look at it as it flew on.
"I think it's a guide" I said.
Slick shrugged. "Perhaps. I heard that spirits have a tendency to be guides and guardians".
"Are they any threat to us?".
"No, I don't think so".
"Maybe it's trying to tell us something".
The raven cawed and flew off in the opposite direction. Oil Slick went straight, he sensed danger was near, very near.
"Is it the Quents?" I asked.
"We need to follow that bird, now" he didn't answer, but I knew he meant yeah.
We followed after the raven just as the Quents caught up with us. They were out for me, so I was their target, but Oil Slick stepped in and defended me.
"Stay away from my niece, you FIVE FACED FREAKS!" he shot his chain weapon at them.
I even joined in the action. I even quoted….Lord of the Rings!
"Want me? Come and claim me!" I loved that quote (Arwen was my favorite character).
They tried to do just that. I flew up and very high. I transformed in mid air and allowed myself to swoop down, catch one, and then slam it to the ground.
"Catch her! Kill her!" one yelled out as another tried to catch me.
I kept up my slamming act, while Slick choked them using his chain. The rest were forced to retreat. When they were gone, I noticed that my reliquary was gone.
"Where is it? Did you have it, Slick?" I asked frantically.
"No, I didn't, kiddo".
I knew that I practically fell out with my dad, but that reliquary was all that I had that was close enough to his presence that I could get now. I was actually starting to long for the safety of home, where I could be back with them, my family.
Just then, the raven flew down to me and dropped my reliquary into my hands.
"Thank you" I said.
The raven simply cawed and landed next to a now sitting Oil Slick.
"We need to stop. That interference by the Quents wasn't a help with my energy".
I decided to recharge alongside Oil Slick. What choice did I have but to do that? So, I tried to recharge, while my spark ached for one thing…daddy.
A/N: I have to stop here guys, hopefully this was good.
