A bit of Sea

They left the herbs, Sirius would either come back for them himself or figure out another way to help Bird collect them. Right now, he wasn’t going to let the man out in the open unclaimed territory. He still struggled to believe it had really happened. Of all the crazy things in his life… a bird, strong enough to lift up a wolf. Even one as little as his Bird. he wished he was still in ignorance of this new threat. Alas, now he knew, and he would not rest until he had eradicated this species from the South.

Bird placed himself under Sirius’s bulk, and told the Warlord he was ready, Sirius gave a brisk nod, even through his charge couldn’t see it, and began to move. He kept his steps nice and steady and easy to follow. Marshal remained on his back, on high alert to the sky, and Bast stalked beside him, keeping an eye on Bird himself.

The journey was not exactly a comfortable one, but Bird surely would not doubt his safety. He was led all the way to Sirius’s den, the structure, built into the side of a hill, lay before the stream that lapped up close to its entrance, before rushing out to sea. He pushed past the material barrier that stood as a doorway, and ushered Bird in. he breathed a sigh of relief as it swung shut behind them. ”You can make yourself at home here. This evening, I will take a group hunting and look for any sign of where that bird came from.”
