    “What’s she like? How old is she?”
  2. Bird Furious
    Mildly surprised, Ashli asked, “Why? Over what?”
  3. Bird Furious
    Snapping the book shut, she grinned. “Perfect. I’ll send Evika a bird and inform them of our suggestion. I don’t think it’ll be an issue.”
  4. Bird Furious
    Your art is so amazing it’s insane. Keep going strong!
  5. Bird Furious
    Her eyes glinted. “We send a delegate to their castle using the name of Evika. Then that delegate will steal it and deliver it to our general, who will command the army and crush Nolikar. Boom, Evalyn’s safe, Basilica’s safe.”
  6. Bird Furious
    “Why did you leave your home?”
  7. Bird Furious
    “No. Then Nolikar may go to war anyway, and they’re still fearsome. We need to use it to beat them with first.”
  8. Bird Furious
    “To crush Nolikar so they are no longer a threat. Once we have the army, we can destroy theirs, then get rid of the talisman.”
  9. Bird Furious
    “Yep!” She played with one of Eej’s vines. “Lots of us leave sooner or later. They know I’m not dead, and that’s enough for them.”

    “But they’re still bigger. A war would still be catastrophic. Unless we had it, I suppose… but I don’t think that’s right for us. We’d eventually become them…” she thought for a minute. “Evikan. Yes. We can borrow an Evikan army. They never cared about military might, so the pendant won’t mean much to them. They’ll want it out of play. We can help them destroy it. That way, nobody in Basilica has to know.”
  11. Bird Furious
    “Yep. But I’m sure they’ll be fine.”
  12. Bird Furious
    “Don’t know. It’s not invincibility—it’s unbeatability. But I think we’ve killed their soldiers before, so that’s that. But how do we get it away from them?”
  13. Bird Furious
    “Yep. Oh wait… Ocumeritation, I guess. Shortened the distance.”
  14. Bird Furious
    “Military. Just conquests. But shouldn’t they have to be mad at the…” she shook her head. “Huh.”
  15. Bird Furious
    She scowled at the mass of vines beside her. “Eej launched me from the top of a tree, and I landed in that forest where I met you guys.”
  16. Bird Furious
    “Vseri.”
  17. Bird Furious
    Ashli swept over. “Oh dear,” she said softly. “Well. I’m not sure what to do with this.”
  18. Bird Furious
    “It’s a peaceful life. We trade with each other and smile and talk, and we have festivals… sing and dance and eat. We learn your language in case we ever happen to meet a human, or another race that speaks it. And our island… trees with mazelike branches that extend so high and are easy to climb, glassy lakes, glowing fireflies. I guess we’re sort of complacent, but I think we’d be okay if we got into a fight. You know, with our Bondvines and Bondwaves and Bondbreezes. My little sister had a Bondmound—a little mound of earth. She liked to encase herself in the dirt and pretend to be a monster. She was cute.” Kealie smiled at the memory.

    “Something… I’m searching these books…” she gestured to the stacks in the corners of the room and on the desk— “for this symbol. I’m close, I can tell.”
  20. Bird Furious
    “Osakhazikika. Most of my people, the Kukonandi, live there.”
  21. Bird Furious
    “Our world has some inherent magic, particularly in the west. That’s important.” She pointed to a spot in the chart right in the middle of a group of stars. “There. Right there. Every night after the Nolikans make another conquest, there’s a comet. A red comet. Where it comes from is seemingly random, but it always vanishes right there. I’ve tried connecting the stars, and I’ve come out with this…” she pulled a scrap of paper out of another drawer and showed him. It was a many-pointed star, almost symmetrical.

    “A pattern.” She opened a nondescript door, descended some stairs into a small, dark, stone room, and then pulled a scroll out of a desk and spread it out. A map of the stars. “Our sky is rather temperamental. Celestial events are not uncommon. Usually.”
  24. Bird Furious
    “My office.” She led him out of Haly’s apartment—after Haly said bye—and down the hall to a flight of stairs leading down. “I prefer to work out of sight, especially with all the Nolikan delegates. Even if they are in the separate guest wings.”
  25. Bird Furious
    “Yeah. I’ll be fine. Thanks.” She smiled slightly. “See you later, then.”
