Chapter 4: GODS word

(Tyler's P.O.V.)

I was just beginning to wrap what the owl in front of me had just said, it had questions… and for me? I wasn't sure what else they were going to say, but I heard a sudden flapping and a small shape rammed my abdomen and winded me quite well. The force wasn't enough to hurt me, but enough to surprise me, and that was enough to make me stumble backwards and fall down. I heard a gasp, and I heard a heavier sort of flapping sound coming down nearer. By that time, I had started to get my breath back.

"Control yourself young one!"

With that said, I felt a small weight shift off of my stomach, and with a huff of what I could find of anger, it hopped down my leg and off somewhere else, I had just had started to flutter my eyes open, and was glad to be met with a glow from the moon, which wasn't as bright or hurt as much as the sun's rays would. I slowly laid my palms on the ground, and pushed myself into a sitting position. What I saw both amused, and aggravated me (the first more-so the other), and had to suppress a chuckle, less I get rammed into again. I saw that cream colored owl holding that smallish brown-red owl, with a look of pain, and disapproval. The little owl, was glaring at me with so much hatred, I was surprised it hadn't done more to harm me.

A muffled, but audible 'mmm-hmmm' drew my attention to the 3 larger owls, the lead one opened its beak and said, "I apologize for the way tha-" I cut him off with a wave of my hand, and started to find a way to get back at that little owl, just for fun. "It's quite alright. It's no big deal," I instantly saw all the owls present relax, even the little one, "I might not have been prepared, but I assure you," I looked at that small owl out of the corner of my eye and finished, "no owl that small would have hurt me too much."

What I saw made me grin; the cream owl had loosened its grip, but had to tighten much harder as soon as that smaller owl had heard what I had said. It had a look of outrage towards me, and it looked like there were miniature fires in its eyes, and that was just the reaction I was hoping to get. But for now, I would have to be kind in order to be respectful to the king and Queen that were in front of me. I turned my attention back to them, and saw a look of disapproval in all three of their faces. "Anyways… what questions did you want to ask?"

(Soren's P.O.V.)

I was so shocked at what I had heard the thing say, that I had forgot who I was holding, that I let my wings droop just a little, but as soon as I heard Gylfie huff with indignation, I quickly grabbed her to make sure she didn't get herself into even more trouble. She might be small, but she was even a challenge for me to hold back, I saw that thing smirk at what he had said, but then he returned his attention towards King boron, Queen Baran, and Outillisa.

As soon as it faced them, I picked Gylfie up as best I could with my wings and faced us the other way. As soon as I did that, she turned and faced towards me, and what I saw I could only describe of deep hurt, and a pain that not many could bring to the little owl I had come to know. I changed from restraining her, to giving her a friendly hug. "It's ok. I will find a way to make this alright…" I whispered so only Gylfie could hear.

*sniffle* "Thanks Soren. That really does mean a lot. I'll be fine, you can let go now."

As I released her, she looked up at me and I could see most of the hurt was gone from her eyes, but not all of it yet. I plan on getting that thing to apologize to her later, she deserves nothing less. "We should probably head off to the dining pavilion now. That will take your mind off of this."

I saw her nod in agreement after she thought about this and so we were about to leave when…

(Tyler's P.O.V.)

"…and that is pretty much how I ended up here."

We had been talking for only a short while, but I had gotten my tale down fairly quick. I had told them about my gun, but not how it works, so not to confuse them too much. They had introduced themselves, and the two other owls that had faced the other way. They were just spreading their wings when I called out, "WAIT!" and that made them hesitate long enough for me to get their full attentions. I would use their names to get them to look at me.

"Soren, Gylfie, can you come over here for a second? I want to say a few things before you go to the… dining pavilion?"

They turned to face me; Soren had a look of impatience, and seemed alert, but seemed to be watching Gylfie. On the other hand though, Gylfie's feathers were ruffled up and she seemed to be trying to look mad, but her facial expression said it all, and that is what sent a pang of guilt through me. "So Gylfie… I know what I said may have been offensive, but I was just trying to get back at you from flying into me. I'm sorry, and if there is anything I can do to make it up to you, please let me know, I don't want you to be feeling down," she tried to put more hate into her body, but I had to stop that, "and don't try to hide it, I can see it in your eyes. I'm sincerely sorry that I made fun of you. For your size, you have more spirit than some of my friends, and that makes you big on the inside."

Her look instantly relaxed, and I saw her eyes reveal a different emotion, though I couldn't tell what it was, I heard her say, "Thank you." And then her and Soren turned and took flight. I turned to face the king and queen, with Outillisa by their side, with smiles all the way around. Or what I could take as a smile anyways. I shrugged as I said, "I hurt her feelings; I had to make it up to her some way…"

"I'm proud that you were able to make amends with her Tyler, she is more important than you think, and not many have ever hurt her spirit like that, only the Pure Ones." Queen Baran praised. "And from your story, I believe that is what attacked your… plane?" King boron asked.

"Yes, but how could an owl fly that fast, I was going by fast enough to cut trees apart… ok, my type of trees, yours are too thick."

"…Ok. Well I guess we should let the king and queen do what they please. I'll take you to the dinning pavilion so we can explain what that thunderous noise was," said Outillisa. "I will escort you there. Just please leave your knife put away, it is as long as one of my wings, and others would get frightened."

I nodded and just put it in my sheath, and strapped my gun to my back. I nodded that I was ready, and started to follow Outillisa.

ten minutes and a hike later

"And here we are, the dining pavilion, I'll get everyone's attention so you can explain."

"Ok, but I think the way I look is getting their attention pretty well, they are practically giving me their full attention now…"

"Everyone, this is our guest Tyler, he is here to first explain why we all woke up to thunder this early night."

I cleared my throat, and prepared my explanation in my head. Well here goes nothing, "OK, I have this thing called a gun. In my world, we use it to fight other hostiles, though it is also a cause for death, so don't play with this thing when I'm not looking. The thing that causes the sound is a bullet, which when fired, will shoot out of this barrel at such a high speed, which is causes, a loud noise. It is a form of weapon-"

"…"

A rainbow circle of cloud and mist appeared over the pavilion, then a deep and mysteries voice spoke out. "My name is not of this world, but the owls of this world know me as… Gluax," I heard some gasps of disbelief, and think I heard an owl or two faint; "I have brought to you, Tyler, from the Human world for a great purpose. You will either help these owls live on through the approaching storm, or you will let them sink and perish, and for their history to go by into ashes of the past ages."

The cloud of rainbow disappeared, and I could only guess that could have been a god for the owls… then a wave of dizziness' swept over me. I looked around and locked eyes with Gylfie. She was standing over a limp Soren, and she seemed to have been trying to shake him awake. As I dropped to my knees, she opened her beak. But before she could say what she wanted, my vision spiked and zoomed in and out uncontrollably, a hiss of static came from my walkie talkie, and all I could hear from it was "… Tyler's plane has been lost from radar, it's been three days and we still haven't found a body, we have to cancel the search, we will end up using too many resources…"

I don't know how I was able to do this, but I grabbed my walkie-talkie and pressed the send button and spoke, "I'm not out yet sir, post pone my arrival for a few more weeks…" I dropped my walkie talkie and fell forward, my vision had stopped dancing and gone black, I faintly heard, "Tyler… by GOD, where are you, wha-*shhh zzzzz*-"

"At least my message got out…" then I lost consciousness.

A.N.: hoped you liked it, after I made that first half, I literally couldn't stop smiling, anyways, read and review, that was fun to make. I'm out of it with my ear infection, so don't expect a full guaranteed update that often, my ear gets hurt listening to the slightest sound, and hearing clickity clack does give me a headache.

-I'm thinking of making Gylfie and Soren have a sort of boyfriend/girlfriend relationship in this story. Send me reviews of how you think that would work and if I should or shouldn't do it.

Spyrofan34: I absolutely LOVE your review, it was like someone splashed me with a cup of cold water on a hot day (that has happened to me too, lol) and then gave me a hug. I never expected to get that for my story, Glad to see you are enjoying it.
