Brody then found a nearby tree with a lot of bugs. "Jackpot! Time to chow down!" He said as he looked at the bugs. He grabbed a few, he then threw one. Then at what was in his hands. After doing this a few times, he was full. "Now where was that pelican?" He then started walking around, looking for Theodore.

"hey, eh... bat!" Theodore called, feeling ashamed he still didn't know his name. "Come out wherever you are guy. We must leave at once." he yelled, still looking around...

"Alright, and my name is Brody." He told him. Then seeing it was pretty dark out.

"Right, Brody. Sorry if you can't feed. but we really gotta go." Theodore explained, unaware that Brody already fed.

Fed? Didn't he know I was just out looking for food? "Anyway Pelican I was already fed so I'm fine. So where do we go now? " He asked as he flew up to Theodore.

"We take shelter in the foliage we were at. According to one of the tracker warblers, the typhoon will be up north by tomorrow, leaving us free to continue towards the Haven by then." Theodore commented, being reminded on how hard he wanted to reach home.

Brody was somewhat happy to get back home. He also wondered where they where taking shelter. "Do we go north? South?" He said looking around.

"Actually, the Haven is southeast from here. We'll be on our way tomorrow morning, so you better take a good rest. There is still a lot to fly." Theodore then explained, being use to those long flying trips.

Brody then found a nearby tree. He then hung upside down. He then fell asleep.

"Oh Amy, everything in order?" Theodore asked, after landing on a tree. "... Those Keas are quite mischievous, but they actually mean well." Amy answered, then took a look at the sleeping bat. "I will sleep near him. I know bats are nocturnal. So just in case this one wants to take a stroll..." she commented, while landing carefully on the same branch where Brody was hanging out, sleeping.

Theodore proceeded in doing the same. He found another branch and after a gaze to the stars, he closed his eyes and slept.

Brody then heard talking and somebody by him. He got opened his eyes. He got shocked and he fell to the ground. "Who are?" He asked Amy.

"Relax, it's only Amy." the seagull responded. "Go back to sleep bat, you'll need it." she begrudgingly said, and waited for Brody to go back to sleep...

Brody then flew back up to the branch. He then got into the position he was in before. Then fell asleep

"Finally some sleep! Sheesh, as is dealing with Keas wasn't hard enough!" the bitter warbler named Yodel said.

"Oh shut up Yodel! Nobody forced you to accompany us." Amy scolded. Yodel wanted to give a nasty reply, but he knew it was futile to discuss with that seagull, plus he was too tired to argue.

Once things finally calmed down, everyone went to sleep, awaiting patiently for dawn to arrive and finally reach their dear home.

Around dawn, a light shone into Brody's eyes. He then opened his eyes and flew to the ground. "Finally about time to go home." He said still kinda sleepy.

"It's still dark you stupid bat. Go back to sleep." Yodel yelled, waking up the rest of the birds. "Dawn is almost near. I suggest we continue." Theodore suggested, giving a nasty look to Yodel for being so rude to a new guest. "LET'S GO!" he ordered, and pelicans, warblers, seagulls and keas followed. "Don't slow down!" he then said, making sure Brody didn't got left behind...

Brody then snarled at Yodel. He then started to fly with he group. Keeping a distance from Yodel. Why is he so rude? He was like that last night. He then just kept flying

"...We still got a hundred miles to go. There is no land up ahead except the Haven. Do you think you can keep up?" Theodore asked Brody. He knew those long voyages could be very tiresome, and being a bat, Theodore thought that maybe the sunlight was too hard for the little bat to handle...

He then looked around, no kind of land. He was right "I don't think I could make it all the way. I think I can only go for about an hour or two." He said seeming embarressed that he couldn't fly all the way.

Theodore was reminded on how land animals who traveled via Orca whales now had to do them in their mouths rather than their backs to avoid human detection, but the very thought of doing the same with the bat, well, he ignored the idea. "Well, if you get tired, there is no other choice. You will have to be carried by Hungor." Theodore suggested, pointing out at the biggest seagull there was. He is a strong, mute seagull who didn't care for an extra weight (how much could a bat weight anyway?). He nodded at Theodore, agreeing on carrying Brody if he got tired.

Brody was fine with doing that. "alright."

Skaliscin's transparent eyelids blinked open. At the sight of the sun right on the horizon, she slowly uncoiled. Her head shot up when she realized that it was morning, rather than dusk. The serpent had slept the entire night through; but that wasn't what startled her most. She glanced to where she assumed A.J. was.

Speckles had been wandering around the forest, but he payed no attention to his surroundings. His mind was replaying the scene with Royal from yesterday. As the minuscule creature treaded through the leaf-bed, he worried about the eagle. Speckles had no idea what deed had been done, but judging by the other residents' reactions, he could safely assume it was nothing that could fall under the category of "pleasant".
As the night drifted by, he tried to focus on catching his next meal. He managed to entrap a small cricket in his sticky, white slime. The insect couldn't escape from the substance as it hardened, and Speckles quickly finished it off by injecting a painless paralyzer with his teeth. The insectivorous invertebrate hardly took note of his prey's flavor as he consumed it. His worry for Royal increased with every passing minute.

chica was still with rose. "problem?" she asked

"well its safe" chica said. for now

Royal smiles and rubs their heads with his head.

"It will always be safe."

ooc: us

After a while then Brody then flew over Hungor and layed down on his back. He then started sleeping on his back.

"I always said it. Bats are weak." the bitter Yodel commented.
"That's enough Yodel! Man, you haven't done anything but complaining and insulting! Cut it out already!" an enraged Theodore replied in the lowest voice possible.

"Oh sure, now everyone's against me. Since that stupid Sybil arrived to OUR home, she thinks she can do whatever she wants with it, even inviting varmints like these." Yodel said after a little pause. The rest of the birds were growing tired of the warbler's very offensive remarks. They owe a lot to Sybil. She had made their lives better (and more active too), but Yodel seems to be the only one without noticing.

"You know Yodel, you should be the mute one, and not Hungor." Amy then replied, shutting the bitter warbler's beak once again, and Hungor nodding and chuckling at her remark.

Brody then grew angry at him as he got up. He felt like attacking him, but it was the wrong thing. So he snarled at him. "STOP INSULTING ME!" he growled at Yodel.

Yodel just glared at him, and wanted to say something, but he didn't want to get into hotter waters with his fellow birds. Still quiet, Yodel flew more away from the bat, wanting to have his presence as far away as possible.

Hungor looked back at Brody, and moved his eyes and head, trying to tell him to pay no attention to Yodel.

"Is he always like this?" He asked Theodore, getting so curious why he was like that.

"He has been worse, especially with Sybil. Pay no attention to him. He is just so bitter that he thinks the world is against him. I don't know what's his problem though. Neither of us did something to him, nor why he hates Sybil so much. She has made our Island a more lively, safer place after all." Theodore explained, almost sounding narrative.

"how much longer til we get back?" Brody asked as he then napped.

"We still got 64 miles to go I'm afraid." Theodore answered. "We better accelerate a little if we want to reach there before nightfall." he then commented, ordering the birds to go a little more faster...

After a while Brody got up fom a breeze. "huh what?" He asked as he got up.

"Just ten miles left! We are almost there!" Theodore happily assured. It was barely noon, and they were almost there. They have made great time. "Oh I can't wait to see Sybil's face when she finds out we have succeeded." the ecstatic pelican then said, looking at Brody.

Brody then jumped down. Then started flying. Still be sleepy he really wanted to fly and disn't want to. "Great can't wait to relax." He said as his eyes seemed heavy.

Theodore watched Brody with some concern. "If you are still tired, you can still rest. Hungor doesn't mind." he recommended, with Hungor agreeing.

OOC: You are doing great. If this keeps up, I will include your character in the artwork

Ooc:fact:the only reason i RP is i don't have any new games to play and i love animals to bad i can't play as my favourite animals

Brody just kept on flying. "I am fine." He told them, thinking that they still needed to rest.

OOC: Yeah, sorry about that condition. But there is a very good reason why I did it, but I will let you figure that out by yourself

"Ahh... the island is visible already. See that tiny dot in the horizon? That's our home." Theodore happily explained. After two weeks of being away, the leader pelican couldn't wait to be home.

Meanwhile on the Island:
Sybil was in the sand, listening to the sound of the beach. She just woke up, and was still a little sleepy. She was quite in shock, she has slept for nearly fifteen hours. She hasn't slept like that for a long time. There was no doubt that the recent events drained most of her energy, but now she was happy to have finally slept deeply.

Brody then sped up, wanting be home. He just wanted to lay down on the beach and have fish and water at any time.

Yodel watched Brody closing in to where he was, only this time, instead of insulting him as he has done the whole journey, he backed away, wanting to be away from the bat... and his fellow birds too.

"... I wonder how Sybil is feeling. She really felt bad when she sent us." a young pelican named Mercury said. He was really fond of Sybil, and he didn't like to see her sad.

"A.J.? A.J., are you awake?" Skaliscin asked quietly, her coils spreading out, rustling the bedding slightly.

Speckles absentmindedly cleaned his antenna after finishing his meal. Drowsiness made him temporarily forget all the events that had happened recently; he curled up in the leaf-bed comfortably. He drifted in and out of consciousness, but eventually grew restless and stood to his many feet again, looking around at his surroundings. That was when the invertebrate remembered that the birds have left a few days ago; not a single winged creature in the sky. In fact, he hadn't seen Royal or Jaerl all night. Of course, they were diurnal creatures, but he hadn't spotted any evidence of their presence. For a second, Speckles was thrown into a slight fit of panic.
"Royal? Jaerl? Are you around here?" he cried out, afraid that the depressed eagle had disappeared like he hinted he would.

Jaerl flies over to Sybil and waits with her for the birds to return.

"Feeling better Sybil? I noticed you were very tired and stressed yesterday."

Royal remains with Chica and Rose standing guard over them and blanketing them with his wings. As soon as he awoke he would go get them something to eat, but for now he was happy just laying there with them.

I slowly stir as Skaliscin speaks.

"Yeah, I'm awake my friend. Why do you ask," I say with my tail curled around me.

Royal is fast asleep with Rose and Chica. He does not hear Speckles cries. Though if he did he would be afraid to speak to anyone about what happened. He just wants to forget it all and go on with the way things were before.

Ivor is strolling around and sees the panicking velvet worm.

"Hey I heard your cries from my burrow. Royal is fine, he's just hurt inside. He's sleeping with Chica and Rose right now. Jaerl is with Sybil waiting for the birds to return. Why don't I take you to Royal so that you can speak to him. Would that make you feel better, my little friend," he asks brushing dirt off himself.

Skaliscin stared into space for a few seconds.
"I... I had this-s-s dream..." she trailed off.

Speckles nearly jumped out of his skin when the badger approached. But he visibly calmed after the shaggy creature finished his statement.
"OK, that sounds good," he replied quietly.
