The figure stood there. A great big smile came across Tom's face. The door was then, slowly and quietly, shut behind him.
"Off to bed I see, must rest ones head 'til morning and the greeting of the sun!" he said.
Pilith smiled.
"I will be sleeping in here tonight" he explained to Tom.
But Tom suddenly interrupted.
"Say not of your plan, Tom is not so deaf as you think"
Pilith was a bit confused, but after a few seconds of thought, he understood that Tom must have heard them talking about him.
"So, you know that I want to stay with Mya?" Pilith asked.
Tom gave a slow nod.
"Of course" he answered.
"And I do not blame you, she will need you and you will need her"
Pilith smiled. Goldberry had wondered of into another room as the two of them had been talking. But she was not away long. She came back into the room. She was holding what looked like a dog bed.
"We normally use this for injured animals that come to us for help" she said.
Pilith smiled.
"It'll be good enough, I guess" he said.
Pilith walked over to the table. The little puppy was slowly lifted up, Pilith did not want to wake her. Goldberry placed the small bed near the window. She opened the window, which creaked. A cool breeze came into the small room.
Goldberry turned around and looked down. Pilith had already placed his friend on the padded bed. A small puppy was standing there, looking right back up at her. his small tail wagged.
"Would you like a bowl of water?" Goldberry asked.
The small puppy nodded his head. Goldberry then walked out of the room. the small puppy looked at the large person walking out of the room. but his attention changed to the other puppy, now laying on the bed.
Pilith the puppy whined and looked down.
"You are still feeling guilt" said a voice.
Pilith's little puppy eyes looked up at Goldberry. She bent down and placed the cool, clear water near the bed. The puppies tail gave a small wag.
"Your welcome, now, bed time" Goldberry said, giving the puppies head a small tickle.
The puppy seemed to get onto the small mat and snuggle up next to his sleeping friend. Goldberry watched as the small puppy closed his eyes. Goldberry turned and walked back to her seat. The book that had been placed down was then picked up again. The pages were opened again. Goldberry flicked though until she stopped.
Quietness came over her as she started to read again. her eyes strolled over the pages, taking in every word. The words were hand written. Page after page was read.
The night outside seemed to pass without incident as she continued to sit there. The light from the sun seemed come up from the opposite direction. The sound of birds echoed though out the forest. The breeze from the hill tops was cool and refreshing.
A loud call from a passing crow seemed to take effect on one small creature more then an other. A small puppy that had been peacefully sleeping, had now been taken away from her tranquil sleep.
Whimpering came from her as she was torn from her sleep. Goldberry, who had been looking out of the wind for a good number of hours smiled as she turned around. She knew that Mya would wake the next day and she had been right.
She slowly and silently walked over to her. She smiled as she picked up the small puppy.
"I am glad to see you are up" she said.
Mya opened her little, brown eyes. For a moment, her eyes were blurry. But, as she blinked, she recognised the person holding her.
Mya gave a small whine.
"I am" Goldberry answered.
Mya's head was now dry and fluffy. She gave a stretch and yawned widely.
"Pilith wanted to be the first one that you see, but I guess that paths change"
Mya looked down to the floor to see her friend still curled up. The puppy in Goldberry's arms gave a small bark. Mya wanted to see her Pilith.
"He needs his sleep, worry is strong in his heart. It is best for him to rest"
But the puppy wasn't listening. She wanted to see her Pilith. Goldberry took a deep breath and placed her down. But she did not move from where she was. Mya walked over to the second snoozing puppy.
"Pilith?" she whimpered, nudging him.
The pup gave a small whine and curled up. Mya blinked twice. She whined and nudged him again. this time, it woke the sleepy puppy. He whimpered and yawned.
"Pilith?" Mya whined again, tilting her head.
The other puppy looked at her. He looked very sleepy indeed. But the tiredness was making him slower the normal.
"Mya?" he whimpered back.
Mya wagged her tail. Pilith slowly got up onto his four little paws. Mya stood there.
"How long have you been awake?" Pilith asked.
He yawned and stretched. Goldberry was standing there. She could understand everything that they were saying.
"She's been awake for just a few minutes" Goldberry answered.
Pilith looked from the tall figure towering over them. Mya wagged her tail and looked up as well. The two puppies were near enough identical. Pilith being just a big bigger then Mya.
"I think a good breakfast is in order" she said.
Both puppies tails wagged at this. The tall figure of Goldberry turned and walked out of the room. The figures of Pilith and Mya both lengthened as they changed from puppy to human.
Pilith took a deep breath, he was quieter then normal.
"I am very hungry" Mya said, walking towards the table.
Pilith gave a small smile. He could not bare to look at his friend. But Mya knew that he was hurting.
"It wasn't your fault, if that's what your thinking" she said.
Their eyes met. Mya got the feeling that Pilith did not think that way. He took a deep breath as Goldberry walked back in. She was carrying a few plates. The young looking woman placed them down and turned around again. she walked back out again.
"Mya, I almost got you killed" Pilith told her.
Both of them had equally brown eyes.
"But I haven't died, I am still here. Isn't that what counts?" she asked.
Her words gave Pilith a small bit of hope. But he still needed to recover.
"I guess that is, but it doesn't make me feel any better"
Goldberry came back into the room, carrying a bowl from of a sticky amber substance. This was honey. She set it down in the middle of the table. But that is not all that she had brought in. In her other hand, a small wicker basket that held a loaf of bread.
After a few more trips back and forth, the table had been lain. A large glass jug of water had been placed out along with four mugs.
"Breakfast is ready to eat" Goldberry said gracefully.
For having stayed up all night, she looked very refreshed. Like sleep was no use to her. Pilith smiled, feeling the hunger suddenly grow in him.
As he walked towards the table, Tom, yet again, seemed to come out of nowhere. He gave a big smile.
"Hungry I think you are, Goldberry has set out the table. Water, honey and softest bread" he said as he pulled out a seat.
Pilith and Mya sat down as well. Goldberry was the last to take her seat. Pilith smiled as he took some of the bread out of the wicker basket.
But reality was much harsher then the past. Origo, as Pilith was now known, was walking towards The Great East Road. But he was not alone. A small fairy, called Ivy, was fluttering near by.
The sun had come up yet again. the day before had not been very eventful. The puppy had been forced to walk though the cold night. Only stopping for a few hours.
"Come on, puppy" Ivy said.
Her wings were fluttering. But Origo gave a small whine as he stood there. He was wet, but not cold. That was because the fairy he was with blocked out the coldness for him.
The road that they were heading for was now only a mile away. The large road stretched for miles either way. One way brought them to the Grey Havens. The opposite way, brought them to Rivendell. But when they arrived, they would still have many miles to go.
The great east road was now a mile away, yet there was still no one around. this made it easier to move for the two travellers.
Origo gave a small whimper as he stopped. The snow was still melting. It created small streams of muddy, cold water. every so often, drips would impact on the soft mud from the canopy above.
"Alright, would you like turkey again?" Ivy asked.
Turkey was the only food Origo had tasted since the incident. The small pup nodded. Within a second or two, a large plate with turkey appeared in front of him.
Ivy smiled as she watched the puppy eat. Ivy looked around. she could not see far. The trees seemed to spread for miles on either side. A cold wind blew, making Origo's fur wave.
It took a few minutes to finish the plate of turkey. Ivy giggled as Origo looked up.
"Is it nice?" the fairy asked.
Origo wagged his tail. The small puppy yawned.
"I'm sleepy" he whimpered, looking up at the fairy.
Ivy took a deep breath as she stood there, the plate had gone.
"But, you've already had lots of sleep earlier"
The puppy whimpered. This made Ivy's heart melt. She now had a problem. She did not want to stop again, but she did not want Origo to be angry at her.
"Well, why don't we just go on a bit further?" she asked.
Origo whimpered and looked down. The puppy thought that he could get him own way. But that was far from the truth.
"Why are you always mean to me?" he asked.
Ivy was shocked at what the puppy had said.
"But, I'm helping you!" she answered.
"If we can just get to the…"
But a low grumble came from the puppy that stood before her. Ivy backed away. Origo was not very happy with her. But it was then that Ivy had a plan. If she could not tell him to follow her, she could get chased.
Origo then pounced on the fairy, missing her by just an inch. But Ivy did not flutter away far. She did it just enough for Origo to chase.
And that's exactly what he did.
Ivy fluttered slowly back, moving as she felt that Origo was going to get her. But she knew that he would not chase her for long.
The trees past as the small puppy barked and chased the fairy. But for now, it was good enough for Ivy. She smiled as Origo continued to chase her for longer then she thought he would.
The hours continued to pass as the two of them made their way towards the road. The clouds above were gathering, but there was no threat of snow just yet.
Ori was now genuinely getting tired now. He heart rate had rose and his small pink tongue hanging out. Ivy continued to flutter as the pup's pace slowed. The fairy smiled as she looked around. The pup was now trotting on the tick mud. His once clean and fluffy paws were now wet and coated in mud.
Ivy took a deep breath.
"Alright, you can have a rest for a while, but we need to get moving again soon"
So, the two of them made their way off of the muddy path. The forest seemed to be full of big, pillar like trees. Origo looked around. a cold wind blew at him.
"Come on, lets find some shelter" Ivy said, fluttering by.
Origo followed the green, glowing fairy further into the woods. The muddy path that they had now left behind was now out of view. But Ivy did not stop.
The wind made the trip seem long then normal. But as Ivy was about to turn back, she saw something looking out of the still forest. She took a second look. It was a strange looking tree.
But the tree was perfect. The inside had been burnt out. There was large streak running up to a point.
"Must have been lightning" Ivy thought to herself.
Origo was looking around as well.
"Come on, we're going this way" Ivy said, regaining Origo's concentration.
Origo then spotted the tree before them. Logs seemed to scatter the forest floor. The snow seemed to not gather here. Yet the ground was very wet.
Ivy was the first one to reach the dark, hollow tree. Leaves seemed to covered the ground inside. Empty spider's webs clung onto the burn wood. A bird eyed the small puppy as he wondered with his invisible fairy.
"Is it scary?" Origo whined, not looking all that confident.
Ivy smiled.
"No, puppy. It's very safe" she answered.
The puppy took a look around before he started on his way in. Ivy was looking at the bark that lined the tree. It was black and very fragile. The wind seemed to whistle though the gaps.
To an outsider, what happened next seemed to come out of the blue. A small bit of back bark cracked and feel to the floor. This was, of course, the doing on Ivy.
"Alright, I guess you can go to sleep now. I'll keep a look out" Ivy told him.
Origo wagged his tail in agreeance. He came in further and placed his nose to the ground. different smells, all new, met him. a yawn came over the pup as he stood there. his ears were very fluffy and floppy.
"Alright puppy, snuggle down. I'll keep a look out" Ivy said, fluttering and then landing near the entrance to the large tree.
Origo stretched and laid on the dirty floor of the tree. He rested his head on his muddy paws. The layer of warmth that Ivy had put around him was very helpful. The cold air seemed not to bother him.
His small eyes slowly started to close. Ivy watched him slowly fall asleep. She loved the puppy very much. But she could not help but think back to Abira.
But Ivy could not leave Origo now. she was the only one Origo seemed to trust. It had now been two days since Abira had succumbed to the coldness. But she was not where she was before.
In fact, there was no sign of her around. The spot where she lay was now covered in snow. Birds flew around in the canopies of the trees.
There were no imprints of shoes or bare feet to be seen, even by the sharpest of eyes. Bird song echoed around the forest. The happenings of Abira were blown away with the wind.
Something strange was happening to the sleeping puppy as he lay in the hollowed out tree. Pictures were flashing before his closed eyes. Talking could be heard as well.
"The day seems fine" a woman said.
Origo could see two other people sitting on seats. One had dark hair which seemed to have a healthy shine to it. The second one was a girl. She had blonde hair which was the same length as the boys' hair.
"The wind is cool and the trees are calm"
The day was, of course, a very nice looking one. A cool breeze ran off from the hills a few miles away. The trees that grew around them were swaying gently as the wind tickled them.
The boy picked up a large mug of clear, clean and cool water. He drank a bit and placed the mug back down. His hunger from the night before had been tamed. Lunch was still a few hours away.
"It is best if Mya rests for today. We have time to explore the forest" the boy said.
Origo noticed that there was an unlit heath. Flowers in clear glass vases were dotted around the room. An open window seemed to let the wind in. A thin sheet seemed to blow over the window. Strands of ivy seemed to flutter in the wind as it stuck to the house.
"That is a good idea. Rest is more important and the woods will not change for thousands of years" the tall, pretty woman standing there.
The woman had a strange coloured dress. A band circled her waist. It was different from the rest of her flowing dress. Her feet had strange things connected to them. Like small, flat pieces of rubber.
Origo looked around.
"I have to get out of here" he thought, wondering exactly where he was.
There was no sign of a small green fairy. The puppy's eyes then fell on the open door. It was his only escape route. So, looking around quickly, Origo made his escape. The pup ran over the threshold, to the outside world. There was no sound on the opposite side of the open door. The pillars that Origo had seen in the other word were bigger and wilder then normal.
There was no sign of the floating green thing. Origo was getting very scared now. The direction he had to go in was unknown to him. His little legs carried him quickly away from the scene. The trees seemed to come slowly closer as Origo seemed to run away from the house.
Logs lay in his path. The puppy seemed to jump over them with ease. For a while, the puppy did not look back. The wind blowing into his face as he continued to run. It was then that he noticed something strange. He gave a small look back. He suddenly stopped, feeling more scared then ever.
The house that he had run off from did not seem to move. He could still hear their voices. But he could not make out what they were saying.
"Maybe…" he thought, looking towards the other direction.
His little legs continued to move as fast as they could. But the house he had left did not move an inch. Worry was now rising. There seemed to be no escape from the house.
In the real world, Ivy was now sitting down. The ground was full of leaves and twigs. It wasn't very pleasant to sit on. but she would do nearly anything just to make Origo happy.
After all, it was her fault that they were so far from Hobbiton now. And it was her fault that Abira wasn't here. Yet, she was unknown to the being world. Neither Diamond or Pimpernel knew of her and her doings.
The freezing wind seemed to slowly pick up pace. Ivy took a deep breath and looked up at the patch of sky that she could see from where she sat. the grey of the clouds was getting every so darker. Birds seemed to have fallen quieter. Their songs had been replaced by wind.
A few snow flakes had started to fall from the sky. But they did not stick to the cold ground. Instead, they melted into it.
But the weather was very different where Origo was. There was no wind, no sound of birds, no way out. the people that he had left in the house were still there.
They had not moved from where they were. And there was yet more strangeness about the picture.
"The day seems fine" a woman said again.
Origo had heard that before. he knew that she had said the same thing before.
"The wind is cool and the trees are calm"
Nothing had changed since the first time she had talked. The heath was still unlit and the boy drank from his mug for a second time.
"It is best if Mya rests for today. We have time to explore the forest" the boy said again.
The green, swaying ivy that clung onto the side of the house was still the same as a few moments ago. Origo's eyes scanned over to the window. The fine, woven drapes were flapping gently in the wind.
"That is a good idea. Rest I more important and the woods will not change for thousands of years"
She had the same flowing dress and different coloured belt. Her feet still had strange looking pieces of leather tied to them.
The door, which Origo had just come in from, was still open.
"I have to get out of here" he thought.
But, as he took a few steps forwards, he stopped. Something was very familiar about his thought. The woman did not move or change in anyway.
"The day seems fine" a woman said for the third time.
Just then, the picture slowly started to vanish as everything turned black. A few seconds later, Origo's eyes slowly started to open. The sounds of the real world slowly came back as the puppy awoke.
Ivy was now outside of the tree. She was looking up. Countless snow flakes were coming down from the grey sky above. There was an eerie silence about the passing snow storm that Ivy found interesting. Only the wind could be heard rushing past her.
Her fragile wing were useless due to the strength of the wind. Origo yawned as he rolled over. He needed more sleep. His little eyes closed again. But the small sounds of the snowflakes hitting the dead leaves was very distracting.
Ivy was getting very wet now as feather sized flakes fell on her. So, she decided to go back to the safety of the hollowed out tree.
It was then, as she made her way in, a creature was spotted though the curtain of flakes falling to earth. Ivy's eyes were fixed on the large creature coming towards her.
It was a fox.
Its red coat could be seen. The four legged creature started and stopped a few times. Its nose caught just a small scent on the wind. Its eyes seemed to focus in on a spot not too far away from where he was standing.
Its ears were sharper then most. The creature was now very inquisitive. The wind seemed to be the only noise that could be heard. The fox's fur was wet. But that did not bother the fox much.
Ivy continued to watch the fox inch ever closer. the fox was only feet away. Ivy was watching the fox as it stopped. For a moment, Ivy thought that the fox would come into the tree. If that was the case, she would have to protect the puppy.
But the fox seemed to have second thoughts. The creature looked around, then disappeared around the back of the tree. The tension seemed to be lifted as the fox was forgotten.
Ivy looked back at the puppy. She was surprised to see that Origo was standing there. His brown eyes were looking at him. he gave a small blink and tilted his head.
"Had a nice sleep?" Ivy asked, smiling.
"It wasn't very long" she told him.
Origo's little tail started to wag. Ivy looked out at the thick curtains of snow. There seemed to be no sign of it stopping.
"It looks like we're staying here until this stops" Ivy said, taking a deep breath.
This would delay their journey for a few hours. Ivy smiled as she walked towards muddy Origo. The puppy was much bigger then her. but she wasn't scared of him.
"We'll be at the big road soon, then we can go to Radagast" she said.
Origo looked around as Ivy stroked the fur above his nose. The puppy then walked around the fairy and stopped at the entrance to the tree. Ori's little eyes looked around. the snow flakes seemed to intrigue the small pup.
Ivy came and stood by him.
"Their snow flakes pup" she said.
Origo gave two confusing blinks. The next second, Ori darted out from the safety of the tree, leaving Ivy standing there.
Ivy watched as the puppy jumped and bit at a passing snow flake. Ivy gave a playful smile and opened up her wings. They started to quickly flutter as they lifted her off of the ground.
"Puppy!" she said, fluttering in the wind.
She was being blown off course every time that there was large gust of wind. Origo looked up at the sky. Many, many white things were falling from the clouds. Million upon million fell.
In Hobbiton, a young girl was getting very excited. A fresh layer of snow was falling onto the layer that had already fallen. But she was not yet allowed out. the smell of food ran though out the house.
"Be right back" she said, placing a toy horse on her bedside table.
She hopped off of her bed and walked over to the large door. She opened it. The smell of lunch put a smile on her face. but she knew that it was not ready yet.
Toys seemed to scatter the floor. Evidence that Elanor was not the only child living there. and this became as she got nearer to the kitchen.
"Merry, behave" said a very stern voice.
Elanor smiled as she opened the door to the kitchen. There was a large table in the middle of the room. There, her father was sitting. Two of Elanor's younger siblings, Merry and Rose were sitting there as well. An ink pot had been placed between the both of them.
Samwise was standing over the both of them. He looked up at his eldest daughter and smiled.
"What's this one?" Merry asked.
On the sheet of parchment, Samwise had written the alphabet. All twenty six letters had been written. They had been spaced out so that the children could rewrite the letter near by.
"That one is a W" he said, looking down.
Merry took a deep breath. He looked at it, figuring it out. Hunger was getting to him. But he knew that lunch was still an hour away.
"Their easy" Elanor said, smiling and walking over to the table.
Samwise smiled.
"Well, they maybe easy for you, but not for others" Samwise told his daughter, looking up at her.
Elanor yawned as she looked around. Candles were flicking and the heath was crackling. The chicken was slowly browning in the oven as a metallic sound met Elanor's ears.
Rosie Gamgee was getting the vegetables ready. Carrots, parsnips, peas and potatoes. There was a large stock of them in the cellar. In the summer months, the fields around Hobbiton and Bywater were a hive of activity as hobbits ploughed the fields and sowing the upturned soil.
The combination of rain and sunlight seemed to make the best food. But some years, the harvest was not as rich as it could have been.
Rosie filled the metal pans up with clear water. the hobs of the oven were very hot. The pans were pans were placed on the circular hobs.
But Rosie had to wait for the water to start bubbling first. She smiled as she looked around. Merry had now finished his work. His quill was resting on the table.
"Right" Rosie said, walking over to the table and picked up the sheet.
Her eyes scanned over the letters. Rosie took a deep breath as there were three missing letters.
"Better, but you still have not done those three" she said, placing the sheet down.
"But their too hard!" Merry said.
He took a deep breath and looked back down. The smell of the cooking chicken was much more inviting then learning. He took a deep breath as he concentrated on letter before.
The letter was made up of two likes. A vertical one and a horizontal one. The horizontal line seemed to be balancing on the vertical.
"What is this one?" he asked, trying to figure it out.
Merry took a deep breath. His eyes scanning over each letter of the alphabet. He read each letter in his mind.
"A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S"
It was then that he got stuck. He took a deep breath, getting a bit annoyed at himself now. Rosie stood there smiling. She knew that Merry was getting frustrated. But she also knew that he knew it.
"Umm" he said, eyes scanning over for the umpteenth time.
Merry's older sister, Rose looked over. She smiled.
"It's T" she said.
Rosie rolled her eyes. She knew that her children helped each other out. To her, she had nothing wrong with it. But sometimes, they had to figure it out by themselves.
"Thank you, Rose" she said.
Rose giggled, knowing that she should have let her brother figure it out by himself. But it was instinct to do so.
"So, that's a T?" Merry asked.
"Yes dear" Rosie answered.
So, dabbing his quill into the near by ink pot, Merry Gamgee started to write. He looked at the letter, the copied it.
"Is that alright?" he asked, waiting for his mother.
Rosie smiled.
"Yes, dear. It's good"
The clock that had been ticking gently on wall now chimed twelve times. Rosie took a deep breath and looked over at it. Both hands were pointing upwards.
Rosie then got out a metal trey. It looked very used indeed. Rosie took a deep breath as she picked up a large vase. It had two handles at the neck of the vase.
The vase was full of golden oil. The trey that had been placed out was now filling with the thick liquid. Pealed and boiled potatoes were waiting to be roasted.
After a minute, the potatoes were placed onto the trey. Rosie smiled as she opened the hot door. A wave of heat met her face. A towel had sheltered her hand from the blistering heat of the handle.
A few seconds later, the door to the oven was closed, trapping the potatoes and cooking chicken in. The flames licked the underside of the two treys as they lay there.
"Alright, that's enough for now dears. We can continue after lunch" Rosie said.
Merry smiled as he got up from his seat.
"But, I want to go out after lunch" Merry whined.
Rosie took a deep breath. The snow outside was still falling.
"Just one more go and then you can go out" Rosie told her son.
"Oh, but it's snowing!" he whined.
Rosie looked over at him. She knew that children loved going outside. Even on a cold, snowy day, their love for the outside world shined though.
"I know it is, but your learning is far more important"
Merry made a sad face, but knew that he could not argue with his mother. Merry yawned as he looked around. the child then walked out of the room, wondering what to do now. all he could do was wait until his lunch was ready.
Pilith was standing at the threshold of the house. His eyes scanning the area. Mya was sitting down at the table. she walk looking over at her friend. She took a deep breath and stood up.
The girl walked towards him.
"You have to forget about it" Mya said.
Pilith turned his head, but did not look back to her. He could not face her.
"It is not so easily done" he answered.
Birds were flying in the cool breeze. Every so often, one would perch up in a near by tree, curious to see the happening in the strange house.
"Time will help you. I am here and you are here. Is that not enough?" Mya asked.
Pilith looked down.
"I can not get that moment out of my mind. All I can see is you, getting dragged under the water" he answered.
Mya looked out of the open door as well.
"I think a walk would suit us" Mya told him.
Pilith shook his head.
"No, I want to stay here"
The two of them looked at each other.
"Mya is correct in what she has said" a voice came.
It was Goldberry. She had been standing behind them for a few minutes as they spoke. She smiled as Pilith looked around.
"But, you said she needed rest" Pilith told her.
"I did so, but fresh air on a day like this is better then any fruit nature can provide. This house is akin to a cage at times. The door is left open for that reason" Goldberry explained.
Goldberry seemed to have a way with words like no other had. Pilith's mind was made up.
"Alright, but only for a small while" he said.
The protection of Mya was upper most importance to him.
"We'll be back before lunch" Mya told Goldberry.
The women smiled and gave a small nod. Pilith felt strange as sensation as he stopped outside. There was a different smell to the world. A cleaner, richer smell.
A small smile came over him as he looked around. There were many colours to see. It was more beautiful from higher up. Usually, both Mya and Pilith were low down to the ground in their puppy form.
Mya followed her friend as they looked around.
"Come on" she said.
The next second, a puppy run off where Mya had been. Pilith gave a small smile. The next second, another small puppy stood where there once was a person.
The two puppies ran along. As they were, the first puppy stopped. The house behind could now not be seen. Only birds and wind could be heard.
Pilith looked around. Mya blinked as she watched him. The next second, the little puppy pounced at her friend. Pilith and Mya rolled around on the floor. Mya tugged at one of Pilith's long, fluffy ears.
She growled playfully as Pilith seemed to over power her now. The puppies continued to play like that. Mya struggled as she was pinned down.
A bird was flying though the ancient forest. The canopies of the tall trees swooped past, only inches from it. Leaves waved in the wind, creating a rushing sound. The bird seemed to slalom though the trees as it made its way though the forest.
A glinting band of water approached though the cathedral like pillars. The small bird rushed past tree trunks as great speed, but only inches away.
It was then that something caught his eye. Two small figures in the middle of a treeless area.
"Strange" the bird thought.
Curiously, the bird swooped and perched upon a thin branch. The bird tilted his head so that he got the two small figures in his sights.
"Curious" he thought.
The two creatures seemed to be fighting. Fighting for an unknown cause. After a few minutes, the two of them seemed to stop.
