Dreams of a bird

Once upon a time, not so long ago a bird gotten in to this beautiful world of ours. It was a day of summer, the sun was burning under a few shy clouds scattered by a soft wind, the grass was slightly dry holding herself proud against the soft wind that tickles the spiky heads of the proud grass and the wide blue sky welcomed the little one in to the world that we know. Her home was on a branch of a tree grown near a top of a mountain. Close to her was her father , a strong white bird of pray. Little that the bird knew her mother was killed by so called a human being to be used as a decoration in one of their houses, for them to look at her beauty that in their mind was captured and well preserved for eternity. But the little one is not grown enough to be told that yet.

For now her father keeps feeding her. He goes early in the morning to hunt. He starts by observing, flying high in the deeps of the sky just to come back as smooth as a feather to catch the pray and flay back to his little one. When he arrives home her eyes are full of sparks and with a large smile lifts her head up ready to be feed. Days go by and she grows in a wonderful bird. Time for her to go for her first ride. Before the the big day, she asks her father about her mother. With pain in his hart and tears in his eyes he tells her : ''Your mother is a guardian of heavens'' and he looks up to the sky. She was curios about it and wanted to know more about those havens that her mother is guarding and why are they more important then her and her father. She sees the pain in her father eyes so she wanders if he missis her and how can she bring him back. In her mind was just the burning desire to reach the deep sky and his havens. With that on her head she couldn't wait till the big day. The night settled, the bird couldn't sleep ,she was staring at the moon, counting the stars and wondering about those havens.

The big day arrived, finally she is ready to fly. Her father takes her on the top of the mountain and shows her the wide world. She was amazed by the rivers, trees and lakes she saw near by and when she looked up to the sky her soul just wanted to reach it. Time for her to fly, her father guides her from behind. She is standing on the top of the mountain, takes a deep breath and jumps. In a second thousands of thoughts are running trough her head, she panics, she hesitates and she is heading to the ground. But she can't let that happen, she needs to pull herself together, right before reaching the ground she open up her wings. The distance between her and the ground was so small, she could feel the grass ready to stab her, the wind wiping up her tears but the sky was calling her. She got it now, strike by strike she cuts the air and she reaches the sky. The sky was welcoming her in his deeps and she felt free, but at the back of her mind she still was thinking about her mother and the havens that she guards.

After her landing she faces her father. He was so proud of her, he couldn't believe that his baby open up her wings and fly so high. They talk about her mother, she wants to know how her mother and up there, was a choice that she made or it was chosen. The haven he was told about it where is at ?How can she reach it ? How many other havens are there and in which one is her mother? . Her father told her that he doesn't have a answer to all of those questions and he will prefer not to talk about it anymore. She is a bit frustrated about the situation but doesn't want to make her father uncomfortable so she fly back home with her father.

While she falls asleep ,she can't stop thinking about the thing she doesn't know. She is sleeping, she sees a bright white light and she hears a soft voice calling her. She follows the voice in to the bright light. When she reaches the light she is realising that she is dreaming. She starts to panic, she feels the light all over her body, she is breading heavy, she can't wake up, she tries to scream but can't make a sound. The voice tries to calm her down but she is too panicked, in a second she wakes up terrified .In the morning she tries to explain to her father what happened he calms her down and tells her it was just a dream. It's early in the morning her father goes to hunt as usually, she goes by the water to calm herself after that nightmare. Near by is a river she flies over looking at her reflection in it and sees a bright light behind her and she hears the same calm voice telling her ''he is gone, he is home now''. The only one she could think of was her father, this simple sentence just covered her in fear, she couldn't explain it but she knew her father is in danger. Knowing that he went to hunt she follows along. Crossing the forest to reach the a field ,she hears lots of noises. On the road tow guys dressed with the colours of the forest and some sticks hanging on their shoulders were walking, laughing and carry a little bag in his hand. As those where walking, one of them slipped and fell on the ground from his hand the bag feel as well. While she was flying above them she noticed her father in the bag on the ground. She was devastated she just attacked the guys but unfortunately she was kicked and fell on the ground. She was dizzy and couldn't open her eyes, she just heard it's another barn owl, this one should be alive still take care of it.

The pain se feels is wrapped up in fear and she doesn't know what to expect. One of the guys come close to her and in a second she fells asleep. All of the sudden she is in the middle of the bright light she is familiar with, she sees on a brunch of a tree hear mother and her father opening up their wings and saying : '' welcome home ''. She is so confused and amazed by the fact that she can see her family again but still doesn't know how someone can be so cruel and do things like that.

But now doesn't matter how cruel those human beings can be . . . now all of them can guard the havens together...
