On the Wings of an Eagle

Fly like an eagle, sing like a bird...

On the Wings of an Eagle

On the cliffs of Dover Peak hidden between rock

bush, brush and brook are the great eyries of the eagle

convocation known as the Vereden~

 

Vladru one of the Veredens great warriors knew his time

of the second life was at hand. He pondered long and hard

on who would lead and protect the convocation against its

enemies while he was in the process of a tearing himself apart~

 

He called upon his old friend who just happened to be me-

asking if I would watch over the convocation while he was

indisposed. Of course I agreed but I asked him why he didn’t

trust his second in command  to do the job~

 

“She is not yet ready” He replied. “Her concern for me would

dull her wits in battle.  She would be of two minds. I also need

my wits about me as well- as I smash off my beak, tear out my

 feathers and rip off my talons without worrying about her welfare.

I need to stay focused. It’s not that I don’t trust her--- I just want

to ease her burden. With you at the reigns she can have the luxury

of being of two minds~”

 

“Don’t worry my dear feathery friend” I said.  I will watch

over her and the convocation  while you go through

metamorphosis and rejuvenation.--- and when you return

your vision will once again have eagle sight, your beak with

solid bite, talons razor sharp that makes your enemies  shiver

in fright , and wings with feathers that show your glory and might~

 

Vladru’s nodded in appreciation and dove into the rocks and

proceeded to smash his beak into tiny little pieces…
