Dreams of flight



In the early gloom sounds of movement further down the hill woke her, stirring her senses acute in the false dawn. Below her and to her left the sound came again something big was moving. Her smaller companions stirred her tension communicated itself to them and they made soft noises of fear in their throats. She quelled their sounds of distress and listened again for the sound. Hearing nothing she settled again keeping her eyes and ears sensitive to the changing light, as full day came across the hill she stretched and stood looking down again to the point where in the early hours the sounds had come. Uncharacteristically silhouetted she peered at the strange shape that seemed to grow from the hill itself, half fearful she roused her smaller companions and showed them what she had seen they looked to her in hope of guidance and protection form this alien menace to their world.

In the valley below the occupants of the tent emerged quietly stretching and commenting amongst themselves about the site they had chosen, taking shielded glasses from their case the leader began to look along the edge of the hill. He scanned both left and right spotting the inhabitants of the hilltop residence seeming to stare at him their eyes boring into his down the length of the glasses.

She felt threatened and the emptiness of her belly gnawed at her, the smaller ones were looking at her as if expecting her to feed them but she knew that as yet it was beyond her abilities. No food had been brought for two days and She knew that without it she couldn't survive. Movement below made her shrink back her companions cowering beside her. An apparition such as she had never seen appeared in front of her, huge frightening making her squeal in fright the two smaller ones almost paralysed with fear. She lashed out and felt something huge grab her, she screamed and fought but to no avail false darkness descended on her and she ceased to struggle only just aware that her companions were near her. Panic gripped her and she felt her heart beat rapidly in her breast the darkness overpowering and strangely restricting.



Another dawn and she awoke the visions of her sleep bringing back the moment of her taking. She looked down, food was before her, and liquid to drink she stirred and stretched and took some of the food and nudged the small ones beside her the largest female like her looked up and took some of the food that was proffered. Movement and one of the giants bent and looked at her its deep voice booming the same sounds she had heard now for so many times, but with those words came food and shelter and still a freedom that she might never have known.

A Falconer cares but what of his charge?
