The Golden Eagle: Ortho's Musings

Ortho had just been crowned as Chief of the Tribe of Golden Eagles. He was ecstatic, and couldn't wait to bring new offerings to change the Tribe for the better. Ortho thought that, although Amanda had great ideas, she did not fully prune and polish the tribe. She had neglected to make Annabella and outcast, solely because they were sisters, but Ortho intended to change that. He honored Amanda's courage, of course, but he couldn't yield to the old beliefs that existed in this tribe. Tao had already littered his teachings among the pristine logic of the other Golden Eagles. Now Annabella polluted it even more. No longer. Ortho was going to change the foundations of this great creation of nature- The Tribe of Golden Eagles.

The Golden Eagle: Sisters Reunite

Annabella looked around. The nest on Tall Rocks came with a really pleasant view. She made a mental note to retrieve this nest from Reina, after Amanda was dead. Reina had agreed with her that Amanda was becoming too powerful. But Reina didn't know what else Annabella had in store.
Ever since Tao had recruited her, Annabella had felt empowered, almost omniscient. She had felt that all the answers lay in nature, and science. Luckily, she hadn't been thrown out like him and Rowena, Tao's assistant.
After the sisters were done discussing Amanda, they devised a plan. One that would be so unexpected that even Tao would be proud.
***
Amanda was falling now.
Up in the air, Reina smiled darkly.

The Golden Eagle: The Hatched Chick

Reina's feathers were ruffled and rumpled. She mentally sighed. When was this torture going to end? Between feeding the Ebony Chick and remaking her nest every time he destroyed, Reina didn't have much time to take care of her mandatory needs. She barely got the chance to feed herself, get a drink of water, and stretch her wings. She could never sleep, for the chick's constant squeaking kept her up. The only time that the chick was still was as he was eating. He seemed to concentrate on the food that was set in front of him. Reina was so frustrated. She should have left Tall Rocks while she still had the chance. Too bad that the chance was long gone. She knew that if she left, the Ebony Chick would follow her, never giving her peace and quiet.
Reina realized that something was truly amiss. Some bird had planned this, depriving her of food and sleep, of water and flying. Someone had to be behind this psyched-out conspiracy.
Only one bird came to her mind, a bird that over the years had proven themself to be cunning and crazy. A bird that had been jealous of Reina ever since she had claimed the nest at Tall Rocks.
Well, I will show her, thought Reina, a touch of darkness contaminating her thoughts...

The Golden Eagle: Geneya of Neomar

Estella was so juvenile. Didn't she see how Annabella was using her? Geneya admitted that she herself followed Annabella and served her, but only because she needed to learn about this tribe. Geneya poked at the feathers on the cold floor of the cave, and sighed. She felt that the ploy of the Night Egg was unfair to Reina, for what had she ever done? Reina didn't deserve the misery that that creature was going to drag to her. She deserved a real egg, that hatched a chick that didn't destroy one's soul. Geneya became engulfed in her thoughts, calculating when and where the egg would hatch. She had always been a genius; she was probably smarter than Annabella. The only thing Geneya lack was motive, and Annabella had a brimful of motive. Geneya and Annabella seemed like complete opposites, destined to be enemies, but why couldn't Geneya bring herself to leave this black hole of a cave. Why did she feel that if she stayed, she would be safe? Why did she suspect that something life-changing was going to happen? If only she knew the answers to the secrets of nature...
