Chroma The Haze-Crested Owl
Chapter 7: Two beauties
By: MRSDRAGONFIRE911
Chroma's tired wings pumped ungainst the air, each time she flapped she thought her wings would fall off, all she wanted to do was collapse in a nest and fall asleep...a dream wich would very clearly not happen soon. "HO FEATHERS!" Chroma exclaimed when she saw the state of the hollow, it was completly covered in cobwebs, she could even see some spiders roaming around. She shivvered, her wings shuffing at her sides in an uneasy manner. "Racdropps...this is going to take forever..." She recalled how Soren had told her she could bring one of the nest maids up, but she had almost been to tired to get herself up there, much less a snake!
Her large eyes surveyed the hallow, searching for a stick or branch she could use to clear the cobwebs away, then she remembered something...from a long time ago, when her sister's egg had just been layed...
FLASHBACK
Chroma's large, young, curious eyes stared at the egg in front of her with something akin to awe "So this is going to turn into an owl?" She asked her parents She heard them chuckle behind her "No Chroma, The owlet will break out of the egg, the egg protects the young owlet as it grows inside. We may actually have a book that explains the process in greater detail...would you like to read it?" Chroma continued to stare at the egg for a few moments before tearing her eyes away and turning to look at her mother, but all of a sudden her vision swirled, she found herself back in the night when her parents had been taken away from her...permanently. Her mother's face twisted in pain, her dead eyes staring back at her, blood seeping from the tear on her neck.
END FLASHBACK
Chroma yelped from the vivid memory and stumbled backwards, she fell off the ridge she had been perched on and let out a startled screach as she fell. Her wings flapped pitiously, to tired to do anything to help her in her situation, she was tumbling in the air. She hit a branch, her talons locked onto it instinctivly, this was awkward. She was hanging upside down on the branch, looking like some kind of malformed bat. "Raccdrops, this day gets better and better!" She basically screached it at herself, her wings hung limply in thier joints, this was quite the predicament. Her eyes began another search, this time for a betterplace to glide to, if she coul even glide...THERE! She spotted another branch just a few feet below her and to the left, she could make that! She summoned the reseres of her strength, this time she was really running on a low tank.
Wings snapped up, talons unclenching, her body twisted and her head popped up right side up, she wasnt upside down anymore! Her wings snapped out to her sides this time, catching some air, she glided to the large branch, it was big enough that she didn't have to lock her talons onto it. Her legs gave out below her and her wings fell down, unable to even hold themselves up to her sides, she was passing out, but before her eyes closed with exhaustion, she looked up, back at the place where she had first arrived. She saw another of her kind, another beauty, her sister.
