Dolly opened her large eyes and looked around, she stretched her wings and one leg at a time, then her neck. "Well, time to gather them up." She said with a sigh and flapped her wings, silently falling down then stopping in mid air, spreading out her wings to stop her fall. She flapped her wings rapidly and soon saw Rae, "Hello." She said and flashed a smile.

Xiar grunted and flapped his wings rapidly, lifting off his branch, then slowing down his wings. He flew around looking for his ryb, wondering on earth where they were. He searched around, and kept on.

'Glaux' ((I would like to join, but are we going by the books or the movie?))

Dustin woke up as the sun started to set. He smiled to himself and flaped his sleepy wings to get them warmed up. He put on his battle claws and helmet just like he was told to do for every time that him and Odil set out for the search and rescue just for safty reasons. He hoped out of his nest and to the branch outside. He flaped his wings a bit more and exstended them fully now since there was room. He turned his head around looking to see if he could see Odil on his way here.

-------------------------

Loor was awake as she usually was. She smiled as the sun began to set, "Yay time for some fun". He smile was normaly more like a smirk but hey that was just her. She picked up her equipment on her way to training and expertly put it on as she flew. She glided and swooped under and over branches that were extended in random places making it like an obstical course on her way to training.

(( I've read the whole series c: *proud* I'm pretty sure by book 15, yes the pure ones have been defeated, but I think there MAY have been a hint of them rising again... *memory is abit blurred, sorry XD* ))

(( Will finish ASAP ))

Gylzryb: My wings felt weary as I rose from my nest, which always seemed to be falling apart, no matter how many twigs I seemed to add. I blinked my eyes a few times before muttering something that I meant to come out as "Better get up. Got to teach some young owlets how to fly in a storm.". I stepped out of my small hollow, where the floor was always covered in plans for past storms and decriptions of different types of coals. I hopped out onto the branch that was always just below my hollow, rather convenientely. My wings felt like chunks of meat against my crudely feathered back, but this was how I always felt after I had just woken up. I stretched my near black, yet banded with long brown stripes feathers. 'Why do only Pygmy and Elf Owls make noise when they fly? Other owls all have feathers to stop making noise, so why not us, Eh?' I thought, my brain still trying to get into first gear. I gave myself a mental shove, and I spread my wings. When my shoulders nearly touched and the tips were just off straight up, I let go of the branch with my long talons. Flying is rather like falling, except you have to flap rapidly to keep from going sploosh on the ground. I wasn't graceful at all, although I can never remember a time when I have been graceful. Not even once in my life. I muttered, still feeling a little bit like a half-zombie, "Better go and find my chaw.".

Ruby: I felt peppy, as if I had just eaten a bunch of squirrels that were full of energy or something. I was darting in and out of my hollow, thinking random thoughts and wondering when my best friend Athena would be up. "Ohhh!" I say still rather indecisive as to be inside or outside. "She'snever this latein waking up! Maybe I should go and wake her up! No, that would be mean. Still!" I say, slightly angry and feeling just a little bit evil. I make my decision finally, and I cling to the nearest branch, waiting formy friend.'Why is it that I'm always so early and she's always so late!' I think, 'It's like we're complete oposites, and yet, we appear to be best friends. How in the name of Glaux does that work?!'. I don't mean it when I swear, but it's more of a slightly annoyed gesture. Finnaly I can make out the pale white and brown figure of my friend, flying lackadaisically towards me like she has all the time in the world.

Athena: I flap my wings, although I neednot do so. The gentle currents that are slowly slipping away with the sun support me just fine. Even with my Battle Claws on. I always like to sport them, just so I look important sometimes. It stops the owlets from looking at me like I'ma freak or something. I think that they figure that I have been in battle, and am just tired or something. Either, way, it makes me look good. I care about my image way to much, but it's not like anyone's going to stop me, right? Wrong. From the look on Ruby's face I can tell that she's annoyed at me for something. 'Probably for making her wait. It's not my fault that the crazy owl is up at the crack of sunset!' I think. I spread my wings, which don't even make a shuffling noise, and land expertly on the branch on which mbest friend stands, tapping one talon. 'Uh oh..' I think. Ruby only taps a talon when she's extremely annoyed at someone, and currently, that someone happened to be me. I braced myself for the berating blows.

One dark eye slowly reeled open as the last bits of dying sunlight faded from the sky. Nyx opened both her eyes, blinking once, and then wincing, it was getting darker, but there was one ray of light that was directly in her eyes that she wasn't expecting, and she puffed up her feather and pulled one wing over her eyes, turning slightly as if she was trying to block it out. Gloomy as it may seem, she hated sunlight. It had always made her uncomfortably hot and lightheaded. She had always felt more awake and alert in the dark. She lowered her wing slowly, sighing from her perch on a pine tree branch that was very close to the tree trunk, and decided to wait until it was almost pitch black out to go hunting.

Nigh blinked her massive yellow eyes, she was huddle in a bushy branch of the Great tree, just enough to hid her snow white feathers. She was wearing all her battle gear. She narrowed her ears, peering around for her students. She was planing a sneak attack on them, wanting to test their reaction time, and how well they fight in a surprised state. Most fights can start in a silent attack, so they need to be ready when it happens in a real battle. Since this was the first time she was doing this to them, she decided to take it a little lightly, but she will warn them the next time she does it, she'll pretend she's a real enemy, explaining to them what they'd have to do. She continued to scan the area, and thought she may have spotted one of her students.

Vint turned his headto face forward sleepily, the hustle and bustle of a woken tree startling him slightly, and waking him up. He realized quickly that night was upon them and it was time to train the owlets again. He stretched out his wings quickly and majestically, so that when he jumped out to fly he wouldn't simply plumet downward due to sleepy wings.

A very large grey bird hopped along the forest floor oddly, and peered upwards at all the tree branches. The last he remembered he was sleeping on a branch comfortably... His eyes narrowed and he spotted the branch he was sleeping on. It was snapped in half. Maybe I should've slept on a bigger branch...  He told himself quietly, glancing around to make sure no one was around to have seen, and he flapped his massive wings to dust them off. He jumped up and painfully flew up to a much thicker branch that could support his weight, and he heard a large growl. He glanced at his stomach for a moment and sighed hungrily.
