Giant Snake
Gylfie wandered through the roots of the trees. She was on her way to a meeting. Then she spotted an owl staring into the cave passage. "Hi Cron." She waved her wing.
Cron spun his head around. He was an elf owl like her. Except he had all white feathers and reddish eyes, an albino. "Hi Gylfie, could you come here a second?" he asked. Gylphie shrugged and walked over. "Do you feel that?"
Feel what? Gylfie wondered. She leaned farther forward, then she noticed it. There was a breeze coming from the cave. But that's impossible. This cave had once led to a portal back to the time of the Others so there had once been a slight breeze. But the tunnel had collapsed. There couldn't be air anymore. "Yeah, I feel it." She replied distantly.
"Maybe we should investigate?" Cron suggested.
Gylfie thought a little. "Sure, let's look."
They hopped into the tunnel. After walking a little Cron held up his wing. "Wait, I hear something."
Gylfie didn't hear anything, but she knew Cron's hearing a bility was better than hers since he could barely see. So she stopped. Soon she could hear it too. It sounded like a snake, only it was too big. Then she saw what had made the sound. It was indead a snake, a giant snake. "Great Glaux in Glamoura!" She exclaimed.
The snake turned toward them. Before she could see its eyes Gylfie had turned around. She ran off. Cron followed her, they both started flapping. "Is that thing a snake? It's huge!" Cron said.
"Yes, it's a gigantic snake." They flew back out of the cave and back to the roots. Both came into the meeting. "Giant snake!" Gylfie screamed.
All the owls there turned to her. "What?" Soren asked.
Gylfie panted. "There's a giant snake in the cave."
Everyone's eyes got wide. "Hey, maybe that's what petrified Bell." Twilight suggested.
"Maybe. . ." Soren tipped his head back in thought. "We'll go talk to the owls in the hospital. They'll probably know."
"What about the meeting?" Otulissa wanted to know.
Soren shrugged. "I was going to bring up Bell being petrified anyway. This is a huge danger."
Otulissa nodded. She couldn't argue with this. So the band and Cron, since he'd been with Gylfie, left the roots.
