Dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the bright sun from view. it was still early in the day when harsh thunder roared shaking the near by ground due to the shear force of it's power and moments later a bright flash lite up the dark sky for a brief second. Wind howled angrily at the storm and rushed harshly threw the dense snow covered trees.
Tsuki let the harsh wind flutter threw his open wings, letting the strong wind almost rip him from the branch. It was exhilarating. Tsuki rivaled in the feeling of the untamed wind ripping around him trying to force him into the air. Moments later Tsuki let it do just that. He let the wind take him with a simple release of his talons and the full extension of his wings.
With no effort at all Tsuki was high above the snowy caps of the mountain with a view that only the winged ever got to see. the flashing of lightning so near had Tsuki falling into a barrel roll to avoid being turned into a fried chicken. so beautiful. Tsuki thought gliding easily over the land using the flashes of light from the lightning to help see in the darkened sky.

There was yet another creature who wondered on the mountains. The peafowl however was just trying to figure out how he had gotten this far with out some other creature harming him. He looked out as the wind started to blow even harder. The cold may have been a bit of a bother to most other peafowls for they were tropical birds but Pension took the cold as a way to help him forget all his terrible memories of his past life. He walked over to a large rock that had fallen in the path a while back. Pension looked the rock over very slowly to make sure that it was not going to fall on him if he sat under it for a while to rest.When he was done looking he sat quietly by the rock to rest before he tryed to get back down the mountain.''Oh this place is most certainly not a good home for a bird like me . Well I guss that how fate is to all birds like me.'' Pension snapped to himself as he rested by the rock.

It was exhilarating. flying thru the air on the rough currents and avoiding the flashes of lighting where something that was just amazing. Few agreed with him and even more thought he was absolutely insane for his love of flying in stormes, but Tsuki couldn't care less. He loved the harsh freezing winds that ripped at his body and tried to take him from the sky. It was like nothing he could explain, it just set him free.
A sudden flash to his right sent Tsuki into a barrel roll, right into harsh wind current that was determined to send him to the ground. And it did just that. A screach of fear steamed from Tsuki as he tumbled to the ground. With a bit of effort Tsuki flared his wings just before he hit the harsh unyielding ground. His landing was far from elegant and was actually more like a fledglings first landing but it did the trick of having no real damage happen to him besides a few bruises and being a little dazed.

The wind seemed to be blowing a little harder now as Pension sat under the rock shelter. He glace over a little just in time to see another bird land very strangely on the ground.'' Wow. That looked like it may have hurt abit. I wonder if it is okay.'' mumbled Pension. He spoke very low to keep from being heard by the other bird. Then he thought about something else why would another bird be out flying in this weather any how .'' He must not have much care for his own life .'' thought Pension . He smirked a little as he watched the other bird silently from his shelter.
'' Well I really should see if he is okay but lets keep a good distance from him shall we old boy.'' thought Pension as he stood up to walk over to the other bird. He stopped when he got about ten feet from the fallen bird. He wanted to ask if the other was okay but due to the fact that he was so shy all Pension could do was just watch the bird for a second . Then he looked at the ground embarrassed that he could not talk to the other bird from behind some trees.

"ahh." Tsuki whispered standing up and shaking the snow from his body. Once the majority of snow was off of him, Tsuki looked around in a slight daze. He wasn't really sure where he was or what he was doing at the moment, but that would leave as he got his bearings. All he needed to do was shake the daze off, but it hurt to shake his head at the moment as he found out a few minuets ago when he shook the snow off of him. It seems he had hit his head slightly in his landing. "ow I don't think this is the smartest thing i've done in a while but i must say it was nice while it lasted." Tsuki said out loud to himself not knowing that he had company.

Pension watched as the other bird got up and began to shake the snow off . '' Well at least he is okay but ,did he see me ?''thought Pension as he watched the other bird. To his relief the other did not seem to see him for the moment. Pension sighed for he knew that he needed to at least let the other bird know that he was around and that he was not a threat. He walked threw the trees careful not to let the other bird see him just yet. He stopped when he was about five feet away from the other bird . He then stepped out from behind the trees. He was sure to look at the bird in a way that said that he was not a threat to him. Pension thought now of the fact that his odd eye color may seem strange to the other . Pension shook his head to clear the thought from his mind as he watched the other bird quietly .

It didn't take tsuki long to shake himself out of his daze. he couldn't afford to stay in such a state of mind anyways. It was just asking to get attacked and turned into someone else's dinner. He personally wasn't fond of the idea of being turned into dinner. So with a few more shakes of his head the daze left him and he immediately looked around with his sharp eyes. The darkened sky made it a little harder to see but there was still more than enough light for him to check for predators. What he didn't expect to see though was a peafowl almost hiding in the trees not far from him. The sight startled Tsuki so much that he immediately puffed up and raised one talon covered foot for protection. His wings flared out and he was ready for anything that could happen. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Tsuki demanded to know. he couldn't believe he got caught unaware, even if it was only a peafowl and nothing that would have actually attacked him.

The wind blew a little harder as Pension quietly watched the other bird as he seemed to get his barrings now. Pension was still trying to get his courage up to talk to the other bird. He was not too keen on letting the other bird see him just yet though.Pension watched as the other bird looked around. He was not surprised when the bird spotted him hiding. Pension stepped back when the bird raised his talons and puffed. The bird did not sound to happy. But who would be happy to find that someone was watching them.Pension shivered a little when the bird asked his name and wanted to know what he was doing there. He wanted to run away from the other bird but Pension new that would just make him look like a coward. Pension was not very sure how to answer the other bird. He looked at the ground for a second as he thought of what to say. The he look at the bird shyly '' Uhhhh..I I a am Pension . Uhhh I I a am just passing th threw.'' Pension stuttered in a very shaky voice. He was very nervous now and he was hoping that the other bird would believe him and would not attack him.

With a sigh, Tsuki lowered his talons. He was a little ashamed of how he had acted; he had over reacted to the sight of the peafowl. Really he should have not reacted so bad but he had been startled and ashamed of himself for being caught unaware as he had been. Lowering his wings as well Tsuki hopped awkwardly forward. He was a bird meant for the sky and branches not for the ground so moving on the ground as he was, was an awkward affair for him. "I'm sorry I scared you." Tsuki apologized with another sigh. "It's just that your startled me, not many are out in these kinds of storms." He explained. Then it caught his attention that the fellow avian was a little out of his element. “What are you doing up here anyways, don’t your kind stick to the warmer clement of the valley?”

Pension carefully watched the other bird. He was thinking to himself that it was very stupid of him to sneak up on this bird in the first place.Pension was relieved to see that the other bird had lowered his claws. Pension watched as the bird came forward and said that he sorry for scaring pension . Now Pension frowned slightly and hesitantly came out from behind the trees to were the bird could fullly see him '' Iit iis okkay II sshould nnot hhave bbeen ssneeking aaround aanyhow.'' said Pension. He was still very nervous as he spoke. Pension just nodded when the other bird motioned that peafowls were a more tropical spices of bird.'' wwell uhhh wwe usually ddo. ''Pension glanced at the ground for a second before he added.'' wwell tthe reason II am uup hhere iis bbecause ii ttravle ffrom lland tto land.''Pension the looked up at the other bird hopeing that he would understand what Pension had tried to explain. He then closed his pale blue eyes for a second as he tried to calm down a little so that he could talk to this bird without all of his shyness and stuttering'' Uhh bby tthe way wwhat is yyour name? Iif you ddo nnot mind the question.''Asked pension coming out of his nervousness just a bit.

The peafowl was very nervous Tsuki noticed, but of course who wouldn't be in front of a bird of prey like him. the bird was quite interesting he travel threw mountains like these, there weren't exactly the safest of places or anything. "No problem I should have given you my name when I asked for yours it's only polite." Tsuki said apologizing in a way. "I'm Tsuki." Tsuki shook his feathers clean of snow again and tried to preen some of the feathers. Finding it a difficult task on the ground Tsuki quickly took flight and perched on the lowest branch he could find near Pension. "Sorry it's hard for me to be on the ground for long periods of time, I'm more of a tree kind of bird." finally he was comfortable. He really hated to be on the ground for any length of time. It made him feel unprotected and vulnerable unlike when he was in the sky. "So Pension why are you traveling, you must have a flock you belong to."

The snow was still falling but pension really was not phased by the cold. He had gotten used to traveling alone . Pension was happy that the bird did not take offense when he had asked his name.''Tsuki thats and interesting name.'' thought pension . Then it dawned on him that his own name may be a little odd though. Pension watched as Tsuki took off and landed in a branch next to him. Pension felt the urge to flinch but he rested it for now. ''II can understand tthat.'' said Pension when Tsuki said that he liked to be in trees better than on the ground . Pension was calming down now. It seemed that his fellow bird was not a very big threat to him though he was still wary of him. When Tsuki why he was traveling and that he must have a flock pension instantly glanced at the ground. This was not a subject that he liked to talk about ever. ''Wwell lets jjust ssay that II have had a vvery sad past .Tthat is the rreason I ttravle. II just prefer tto bbe uhh a lonner . II never was oone ffor traveling iin aa big ggroup.''Pension hoped that Tsuki would not get offended by his answer .He also hopped that he would probe any deeper on that subject for he tended to get really upset when he talked about his past. Pension thought for a second before asking''What aabout yyou wwhy do yyou travle.''Pension knew that since the bird was asking him questions that he could ask then back to Tsuki.

Tsuki watched the peafowl closely and noticed how nervous he became. When the bird began talking about his past in his stuttering voice, Tsuki could tell there was something wrong in what he was saying. It was confusing. Peafowl normally had a flock of females, their harem, but to be a lone was strange and seemed against the birds nature so Tsuki was clearly confused. He wasn't a bird of prey like he was who only took one mate and lived in territories where other males where unwelcome by nature. Tsuki was a solitary creature both by choice and by nature. Birds of Prey like him tended too be. "well I guess it's because I'm like you. I am a solitary creature, but i have also been searching for unclaimed territory. So far my search has not ended well." Tsuki stated with a shrug of his wings. it was the truth and nothing more. of course tsuki didn't say that once he found some territory he would see about getting a mate but that was also very privet information and tsuki wasn't one to give up his privacy to someone he just met.

Pension was getting calmer now as he watched Tsuki. Pension could see that the eagle was a little confused at Pension's statement.''What dose he want me to do ' tell my whole life history?'' thought Pension.Then he thought that maby he was not clear enough in his statement. It was just common knowledge that most peafowls did like the company of big groups of their kind. The truth was that Pension ran form this part of his nature for unlike most other peafowl he was a very shy bird and really preferred to be alone rather than with others. Pension was surprised when the bird said that he was a loner then Tsuki said that he was looking for unclaimed land. '' ahh ii see.'' was all that Pension could say. He did not know what else he could say. Pension the glanced up at the sky the storm was starting to let up just a little now as the wind was not blowing as hard.

Pandora peeked cautiously out of the tree hollow where she was currently staying, different mixed smells flooded toward her and she sat still determining that she was safe for now. She gracefully slipped out of the hollow and gave a catlike stretch before yawning. Her tail twitched as she took a seat on the branch, her ears flicking as she caught bits of a conversation and the faint smell of bird or something. Cleaning herself quickly she descended from the tree before heading curiously toward the conversation. She stayed within tree cover in case she should have to dash up a tree to protect herself and cautiously edged out a little further her eyes picking out two figures, both were birds of some sort but she didn't tend to socialize with birds much so she had no idea what they actually were. Her muscles tensed as they bunched together and launched her quickly up the tree, her tail steadied her as she crept over onto a branch were she could better observe the creatures, her coloration tended to help her blend in but her ascent into the tree had been noisy and she glanced over at the conversing birds to see if they had picked up the thrashing sounds.
