Carmillow flew back to her house. The pain from the scavengers had mostly faded, thanks to the divider.
I got to tell dad about this. Dad's a scientist. He's always excited about new discoveries.
Indeed, Carmillow's dad was one of 5 mudwing scientists of the village.
Her talons thumped onto the rock ledge.
"Dad!" she yelled. "Dad?" she spotted a piece of scroll on the table. It read;
Mudwing elders called town meeting. I was going to tell you, but you weren't in the house. Hopefully back soon.
Love, dad.
Oh well. Might as well read a scroll.
Sometimes, when she was lonely, she wished she had sibs like all the other mudwings. Even rain hads sibs he probably loved and cared about.
Someone to fly with me, someone to keep me company when I'm lonely, someone cheer me up when I'm sad, someone to protect me from rain and his gang…..
Carmillow was jerked out of her daydream as talons thumped down onto the ledge and into the house.
"Hi dad." She said absentmindedly, as her mind was still on sibs.
"Carmillow. Listen to me." catfish said in a grave voice.
"I'm listening."
"The sanding queen was killed." "we're going to war."
sorry, this chapter is a bit short, i couldn't think of any more to add.
