Mobbed!

Clyde liked to fly around checking out for stuff and enjoying the weather, He now started to go out in the day. Clyde was hummin a song he had heard from the Northern Kingdoms and then noticed black dots in the sky."This ain't good...I don't think Celt could save me here." Soon the crows were a few feathers away from him, Cloyde looked back and looked at the large numbers, he then froze. "I am going yeep!" He thought before the crows started mto smash into him. Clyde plummeted down towards the mirror lakes but then he could feel his wings again."Thank Glaux!" He hooted before gliding upward and flying back towards the tree."Heh..well that was fun."

[Millie]

Striker was known by crows to be very fierce so not even a crow got near him. Striker had been watching in terror as Clyde had went yeep, but good thing he flew away just in time. If he would have been transfixed by the Mirror Lakes, Striker might have to be the one to save him from their evil power.

B.B lowered his altitude the lakes reflection having caught his eye. He had never been this far North(or whatever) before. It was just merely on a whim that he was here now. He flew down even lower so that he was just flying above the water's surface. This was quite odd, he could see himself, the ruddy feathers the yellow eyes. He had scene himself before of course in a clean puddle left over from a rather long rain, but not this clearly. He was amazed but his gizzard twitched uneasily. "What is this place?" he asked himself.

[Millie]

Striker flew over to him. He heard what he had said and cleared his throat. "You are now at the Mirror Lakes. These evil lakes bring owls here by their still waters. The owls who get transfixed never leave, for they have never seen anything like this before. They haven't seen themselves so clearly before either."

[Edmund]

B.B nearly went beak first into the clear water at the sound of the new voice above him. Taking a deep breath he swiveled his head up and saw the owl and soon gained some altitude to fly beside him. "I have heard of this place then and I was indeed warned of its danger, but I did not believe that this place truly did exist." he hooted softly. B.B then turned to look at the short-eared owl "My name is Bartholomaios Barnabas, and if I may be as bold as to ask you your own name?"

[Millie]

"The name is Striker. I am a rogue and slipgizzle for the Tree." Striker hooted. "I have been everywhere and I'm sure you have been too. I am also a free-flyer. I never stay in one place for a very long time. I have a passion for telling those where they are if they have no idea. I also have never been transfixed with the Mirror Lakes evil magic. I have a connection with the Norther Kingdoms also. I have a few friends up there." Striker hooted with a smile.

[Edmund]

Bartholomaios Barnabas felt utterly flabbergasted, the Tree? Northern Kingdoms? There were places he had only heard of. And the Tree? Did this rogue truly speak of the Great Tree? It was a mere fairy tell that his care taker Orieus had told him. "I beg your pardon sir, but are you telling me in truthfully that the Ga'Hoole Tree does indeed exist? All my years, I never thought. But I must say I suppose it is to be expected, I am still fairly young." he finished quietly to himself.

[Millie]

"Oh yes, the tree is as real as me and you." Striker hooted. "It is also as real as us knowing how to fly. I would never lie to the younger youth than myself. I have been spying on Pure Ones and St. Aggies for the tree. They really are back to their usual ways, I'm afraid. They've even moved to the Northern Kingdoms in their stealing of eggs. I just can't believe it."

[Edmund]

"That is most dreadful, and I have felt their misdeeds personally, my brother and sister were snatched by St. Aggies, and my father was killed. I hope to find them again, but I'm afraid that I'm losing hope." he hooted sadly the looked back up at Striker his eyes twinkling. "I would very much like to visit the Great Tree, and help if I could, although I prefer to use words rather than force, I do know how to fight."

[Millie]

Striker nodded. "If you would like to see the tree, it is in the middle of the Sea of Hoolemere. Follow me." Striker flapped off away from the Mirror Lakes toward the Sea of Hoolemere.

[Edmund]

B.B tilted his starboard wing and followed Striker away from the beaks and toward the Tree.
