ϟ Shadow smiled shyly when Petra accepted his apology. He didn’t know what else to do or if he had to do anything else when someone accepted your apology, so he just left it at that. Upon hearing Petra say that the hit was nothing compared to being hit with flaming wings he had to agree, though he couldn’t keep his laughter in. Letting his laughter out he then looked at Pheobe, who was now perched in front of him, with a look that said 'you really do that to him,' though he quickly smiled to show that he thought it was funny. He had to admit he probably hit Elsha a few times with his own wings when he was still learning to use and control them.
When both Pheobe and Nimiheko gave their consent on wanting to see his room he took off without them, too excited to realize they weren't following and that they didn’t know where to go. When he reached his room he turned around pointing at it, it was at this time he realized he had left without them. Rolling his eyes at himself he ran back to the dining room to pick them up and show them the way. He peeked his head around the door frame and quietly he said, “Sorry. Got too excited and left without you guys.” He then waited for them to follow, this time slowing down his pace.
Reaching the end of the hall, just a few feet away from his room he turned around again and pointed it out, as if it wasn’t obvious enough, “This is my room. Come on in,” he told them both. Upon entering you could see the room was well rounded and of a decent size to fit something really big in it. It wasn’t square like most rooms would be in a mansion this size. You would also be able to see that the ceiling was much higher than the rest of the first floor, in fact the ceiling for this room was even with the second story ceiling, it had to be tall enough to fit the size of the tree. You would also notice about half way up that was there was a small balcony that lead onto the second floor. Elsha went on this balcony from time to time to watch him or he himself flew through the door to reach the second floor fast then to go all the way around to reach the stairs. You would also notice that there was a sun roof there, one for the tree to get the sun and air it needed and two for Shadow to fly out that way if he wanted to.
The tree was a giant oak, the apples on it already ripe. This room was built around the tree having to build it this way after she had found Shadow. This room was built perfectly for him which was why he enjoyed showing it off. To the right, as mentioned before, you would see a cave, man made, and inside said cave was a small human bed. Shadow could never make up his mind with how he wanted to sleep, with so many choices it was hard for him, though he preferred the tree most of the time. He ran into his room and jumped up onto the lowest branch and started to climb, sometimes jumping to the next branch instead of climbing it. When he reached the halfway point he stood up on the branch, spread his arms out wide, and said loudly, “Welcome to my room. So what do you think?”

❧ Elsha gave a slight smile to Nimiheko to show she had heard her say that the boy was still young. He was though Elsha thought he may have had more intelligence to him if his parents had raised him. She had found his egg one day while she was walking though the forest. She had looked for the nest and his parents to no avail. She later found that they may have been killed by hunters having seen them leave the forest with what looked like griffon heads and packages of what could have been the meat or feathers from them. Not wanting to leave the egg she had taken it home and raised the boy herself when he hatched.
She watched as the three, Shadow, Pheobe, and Nimiheko took off towards Shadow’s room. She smirked giving a small laugh, he really like to show off his room she thought to herself. She returned her attention to Petra after letting her thoughts run. She giggled again hearing his explanation that he was a man with a bird that traveled. It seemed to her that he was belittling himself, “I think it’s an awesome thing to be able to travel a lot not knowing what may happen. I have always been stuck here so I know little of any other place besides what’s here,” telling him while examining his face trying to figure out what he was thinking. If only I could read minds, she thought to herself sighing when the thought was finished.
Standing up she stretched helping to relieve any cramps she might have gotten from sitting so long. She wanted to get her body moving, she was itching to go onto the practice grounds. Finishing her stretch she looked down at Petra, “I’m planning to go out on the practice grounds and well, practice. You’re welcome to join me if you like. You can also help yourself to my father’s library. It’s just up the stairs on the second floor, third door on your right. You look like the kind of man that likes to read.” Even though her father was dead and the library was now hers she had always called it her father’s. It was a collection he had started holding some older books about older magic’s. She wasn’t interested in them though, so they just sat there collecting dust, until the maids cleaned them up again.
She had read a few of the books in there though, the ones that had interested her anyway. Most of the ones she had read had to do with exotic and mythical birds, hence why she knew some things about phoenixes and griffons. The content within those books was why she had read them, hoping they could help her raise Shadow, and they did. She had also read some books on wind magic having realized she had had the talent for it. Other than those books everything else had remained untouched, other than the cleaning, since her father died. She didn’t even know if there were any books about the forgotten goddess in there, not having bothered to look. If Aslan came she would have to remember to offer him her library as well.
