Semuan-Ya had been sleeping, but she awoke with a start. Not moving, she listened. That voice...she'd heard it before. It seemed...like someone she knew. But that was...the only ones she knew were from the Flock...and few stragglers.
Gently, straightening herself in her nest in the trees, she looked down. Twenty foot below, there was a stallion laying there....She knew him.
How had he...escaped? But then, something flicked in her mind. She was not one of them anymore. Any that fled the flock, was to her advantage. With a great lunge of her wings, she alighted on the ground behind him. "Hessssssssssssssss notsssss heresssssssss."
