My wings felt broken and sore as the wind swept through them, Where were the others? As a matter of at least 10 hours ago, I had been soaring about the woods, accomponied by Pika, whilst Ripred, Lin Chau, Marzelle, GreenScale and 13 others had wandered on the soggy ground of the swampy marsh. My night vision was failing me as I drifted further in the sky. The deep sound of a conch fillled the air, causing me to stammer, my wings barely holding me up. 24 days of flying would normally be easy for an owl  as young as myself, 813 was a fresh age, practically newborn; However, it was becoming harder to maitain my flight. Weeks of flying had worn me out, and I was experiencing a memory loss. My head ached violently, and my wings were slowly failing me. I pummled forward, and the light air of the clouds ceased me, making my fall slower. "W.B.? Is that you? Pika's voice sifted throughmy mind, were the others here? "Pika..." I murmured, and then the world became black. When I awoke, I was surprised to see I had been casted entirely. I lay on a soft cot, a extremely large golden cage positioning as my room. Slow talon-steps crossed the room, revealing Pika, and Eldern the medic not far behind him. "Miss, ah, 'Windbreaker' it's a pleasure to meet you, young lady. Are you feeling any better?" Eldern asked me, a piece of birch tucked under his wing. "Sir, I-I-I..." I was at a loss of words, The 1,687, 539 year old owl was a legend, granted with the blessing of infinite life. Strands of gray hair peeked out close to near everywhere, unlike Pika who was a fresh and young Barn Owl such as myself. "I-I-I am feeling a slight bit of discomfort." I blushed, realizing that my comment was actually a complaint. "And a tad well, Broken." I just couldn't keep my mouth shut! A sea of complaints drained out of my mouth, the final word I spoke being "Sorry" I gulped, watching his talons tear at the birch, spelling out letters. "Good thing, because those are the normal conditions. I will have you checked on every half hour or more. and muscle cream will be applied commonly, you'll also have to get used to drinking this." He chattered, setting a metal flask on the desk next to me. "Sir- sorry, but how am I to open this, er, juice?" He chuckled brightly and looked into my eyes. "My dear, you won't be opening it, and this certaintly isn't juice. That would be the bone mender, you'll be given it every hour as well. I'll leave you two hours of free time, and then we'll start applying and proceeding on you. Surgery if neccasary."he conclluded with a smile. Pulling a wing strap onto himself with the help of Pika's beak, he added a metal attachment and thus unscrewed the flask. "Time to drink up, Pika. Help her out I'll be back by 18." As the door closed behind the infamous medic, I moaned. "2 hours? Pikanio, what's going on?" I ask Pika, hoping he would know. "Ripred was reported this morning." Pika whispered softly, "Thanks goodness for the patrol" I sighed with relief. "Well, W.B. turns out it was too late, actually." My grin faded slowly, replaced with questions. "How? What?" I gaped, hoping for answers. "Gryphon escaped. He did and it's not good. He can change his form, all animals are suspicous of possibly being him. A tigeron like RipRed is extremly powerful. Large and skillfull, it can also be fast, smart strong,and has the ability to change shape. Ironically, both the breeds change their form to original when killed, it's a killing streak." Pika's words echoed across the room, leaving only me to respond. "Gryphon was never good news, but now because of it, RipRed is gone!" I said angirly. "Not gone, I heard a report from 'them'" he said, referring to the spies. "Esyla has him." Esyla the awful Bombay cat, had once been a member of our original group, but left when Her higher power, RipRed came to join. Esyla was powerless in comparison to the Tigeron. "We're going to get those kitties." I glared. "When am I off meds?" I asked. "I talked to Eldern, you need to get all of these meds today, he made a special request because of our mission. Prove to him you're worth it, W.B." Pika sighed, "One last thing, you can't be WindBreaker anymore. Your new name is Easten, you are 617, and don't know me." he sighed again, revealing his disspointment. "Pika, why wouldn't I know you?" once more I was nervous, what was going on? Our original mission was to travel to the West lands, never this! We were the animal spies, We had seen it all. B.I.G. was horrible and no doubt would hurt R. (@Ripred, is R an ok nickname? I know you made this just wanted to check. See you at school, and I like the relation of posts with the cat. Bye Ryan -Mya) "You wouldn't know me because we haven't formally met," he said, gradually growing larger and stronger. "My name is Gryphon, and I need you and the others help."
