[The Eagle Aeries]In Search of Endal or Eagle

by **Aose** on April 11th, 2013, 12:06 pm

Aose shook her head no, “You are the first and only so far that I have met. It has been an honor too.” The yasi smiled as she took a hefty bite out of a piece of meat, “Thank you for the hospitality, normally I am just called in to do Bendi work involving cleaning rooms, but never have I been offered to stay, sit down, and converse with... uhh... With an Eagle .” She blushed at those words, they seemed to set Aose on edge a little. “ I do hope to soon though, it would make my day to be able to speak with one. It would be an honor and I believe it means something if I can do such a thing.”

Aose bounced a bit her seat, “Being able to speak to an Eagle would signify that I have a chance to becoming an Endal, doesn't it? I mean, only the Riders can speak to their faithful companions of the feather.” The yasi paused, chewing slightly on her lower lip, “At least, that is what I have heard from a fellow yasi, he says a lot of things about Eagles and the Endals.” She paused.

“That not that it matters what he says anyway.” Aose smiled and took another bite off the meat she held in her hand.

OOCSorry for such a late response

"Well.. really, anyone can talk to an eagle. Almost anyone, at least. But usually they only talk to Endal. I'm the same way.. well, when I am in my eagle form anyway. When an eagle talks to someone, their minds touch each other. It's a special connection, and they wont do it with just anybody."

Sira wondered what else the other Yasi might have told Aose. Sira herself grew up very fast and never really had any friends to talk to. The social aspects of childhood were mostly a mystery to her, as well as all the rumors people liked to make up about the Endal. She had heard a few, of course, and since she'd become an Endal she had come to realize many of those rumors weren't true. But it was always fun to hear more of them.

"So what else does this Yasi tell you? I can let you know if he is right or now, and then you can go tell him the truth, and say you learned it from an actual Endal. I bet all the Yasi will want to learn from you then."

Aose chuckled at the statement Sira made about the other Yasi wanting to learn from her. It was doubtful but she didn’t express words with her chuckle, “Well he said that you guys lived in huge caves lined with gold and gems. He said that Endals were usually mean and cruel.” She paused, “From what I see your home isn’t lined with gold or gems and you are far from mean and cruel in my eyes.” Aose looked around the aerie, making sure her eyes didn’t trick her and the prove the boy was right about the residence she was currently in. Whew he appears to be a sack of turds.

“Again, it doesn’t truly matter what he says, I got the privilege to meet an Endal and talk to them! Oh the others are going to be so jealous, they only get to see you guys from a far when you are flying through the air.” A smug look traced her face before Aose giggled.

“He also said it was an Endal that created the game ‘Lick a Dek’ when they were a Yasi, is that true?”

After a few minutes though Aose chewed thoughtfully on her piece of meat, it seemed to fuel her thought process some, “Enough questions of the truth about Endals. But I really want to ask if what is it like being one? Is it really that awesome as people are saying it is? Is it hard? Do you enjoy it?” Aose paused long enough to take a breath in.

“Can you show me the eggs?” She blurted out after a bit. Just realizing what she asked she gulped and tried to shrink down, You dolt! You don’t go and ask and Endal to see an aerie full of eagle eggs!

Sira chuckled at that. In truth, her aerie was very sparse. There were almost no decorations, save for the mirrors that reflected the sunlight around the room lighting it. The furniture was very well made, but beyond that, Sira didn't really bother with decor. She had little interest in such things, most of the time.

"No, definitely no gold or gemstones lining these walls. But a lot of endal are mean and cruel, at least to the other castes. So don't go thinking you can just talk to any endal without getting smacked. Even I can get angry sometimes.. but I'm young, I still remember what it's like to be a yasi."

Sira thought about the dek licking game, but shrugged. She wasn't really sure who made it. It was a game she played when she was a child as well, but she wasn't the one who came up with it, nor did she know the one who did.

"I don't know about that. The game was around before I was. As for being an endal, I love it. But it's not as easy as people think. There is a reason we get the best food and the best housing. We're the ones who put our life on the line every single day so that the rest of the city can eat. We're out there in the cold Unforgiving, in the snow and ice, doing our best to bring in whatever we can. And if there is a threat to the city, we are the ones who have to fight it. It's a lot of hard work and training, and we don't get any thanks for it. But it's worth. It's definitely worth it."

Sira laughed at the last request, shaking her head and wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Well I don't have any eggs to show you, but I guess we could go see if there are any in the hatcheries. You know you can go there any time you want, right? Just volunteer to help out. How else do you expect to befriend an eagle?"

OOCJust a note. I did create the Dek licking game, but I created it OOC. It's been around since before Sira was born.

Sira spent the better part of the afternoon with Aose. She took the child to the hatcheries to see the eggs, watching as the girl fawned over them. Sira wondered if she ever had a child, would they hatch from eggs or from her belly like the other Inarta women in the city. Maybe it depended on which form she was in when it happened? Sira didn't know. She knew very little about her race, Kelvics, and wasn't particularly interested in learning. She'd spent most of her life trying to live down the fact that she was different.

When the afternoon was finally over Sira retired to her aerie, sitting with her legs dangling over the sharp edge of the cliff, looking out at the setting sun. What a wonderful day it had been. Though it started off with an annoying errand, Sira had poured her heart out to a wonderful woman, helped her and her sister, met a nice child, and spent an afternoon living like she was a kid again. It was a perfect day, and when the sun finally set, she put herself to bed with a smile on her face. Sira was the happiest she had ever been, and went right to sleep.
