A bird so daring…
Summer 19 Fighting seasonal

Something about the way the water tumbles across the shore sends shivers down the pup’s spine. While he is brave among the bamboo and oak forest, he is unsure of the bay. Though the water here is crystal clear - kept clean by his older half-brother, Akito is still wary of what hides in the depths. He has seen his siblings play and swim already, fearless or careless - he wasn’t sure which - of the liquid that could see to their demise. He thinks of this now as his ebony toes are enveloped by foam capped waves. It darkens the sand in front of him as it rolls back out into the bay. Unless there is a storm, the water appears to always be calm — his older brother has even assured him of that many times. Still… he is unsure. Captivated by the unknown entity that is water, his ears turn to a sudden burst of loud cawing. His eyes moved upward toward the sky as his brow furrows with concern and curiosity. Feathers stick out in all sorts of awkward positions as a long taloned bird dives back toward the bay’s surface. Akito’s face lilts slightly as he watches the spectacle. Beneath the bird, a sharp-toothed dolphin clicks repeatedly as if laughing at the bird’s attempts. The quarrel was between the dolphin and the eagle with water splashing and one specific fish being unfortunately torn to shreds. The pup would have turned to leave the bay. To let the two bickering fools flash it out on their own. If it weren’t for what happened next. As his body twisted to lead him back up the sandy shore, he felt a rather wet and heavy object fly into his side. Stumbling as he lost his footing, taken by surprise at the attack, his nose instantly wrinkled at the fishy and rotten scent. Both of his ears fell back upon his skull as his narrowed gaze shot over to where the dolphin was peering above the surface, laughing in the annoying way that it does. Thought it is not worth his time to seek out the dolphin, Akito attempts to place the fish upon the sand and continue on his way. The eagle, whose fish had been stolen from him, had other ideas. Without much notice, the feathered demon dive bombs the pup with claws extended. From the corner of his eye, he feels as if the bird was planning on taking him up into its grasp. A startled yelp leaves his lips - a singular moment of weakness - as he stumbles once more to the side to avoid being gored by long talons. Thus begins his dance upon the shore as he attempts to evade the oncoming bird’s attack. |
