OOC: Before I started, I'd like to say that yes, I did get Vae's permission before using her character. ^^ But anyone at St. Aggie's, feel free to jump in at any time. :3
IC:
The small female flapped her wings, having to keep up with the large Eagle Owl that was taking her back to the canyons of St. Aggie's. She flapped her wings, still managing to stay silent. Barely any wind blew, but she didn't seem to take notice.
It was a young Barn Owl flying behind that large male. Her beady eyes wide, her gaze shifted around nervously. The Tyto Alba's eyesight rested on the owl that was taking her prisoner, trying to concentrate. She had been on the borders of their territory.
Little did they know was that she had been there on purpose.
Born into the Pure Ones, Faylne had been trained and sent out as a Slipgizzle. Even if she was only old enough to have just learned flying, she had been taught hard.
She dipped her head a bit, examining the land below here. Nothing here seemed really useful to the Pure Ones. Either way, all she knew was to get in, complete her mission, and get out. Hopefully alive.
The young Tyto Alba gulped quietly, wondering if she should talk. Looking around her, she noticed other owls start to dot the canyon walls. Seems like they were getting closer.

OOC: I hope you don't mind me joining :] I'm a bit confused and I realized aftre I wrote my post. The St.Aggies owls arent supposed to know shes a slipgizzle right? heh sorry. Maybe she can convince nymbus otherwise??
The Ablah General had been in the library, looking upon the pleasant little collection of battle claws that hung neatly from the stone wall, when the guard perched outside the room interrupted the snowy owl with news from the patrol. "A Slipgizzle? I see...I will meet Custos at the opening." The Ablah General hooted only partially interested. He had no feelings toward slipgizzles, just a sort of sour pity.
Slipgizzles were the unfortunate ones sent to pick up information but usually captured and killed in the end. A glint of amusement flashed through the Snowy Owl's golden eyes as he remembered only a few night ago under a dwenking moon he had killed a ga'hoolian spligizzle. He remembered his satisfaction and a wry smirk laced his beak.
Ruffling up his feathers he walked toward the library door. The guard that had brought him the news was replaced by yet another guard. All the faces in the canyon looked the same after a while and so Nymbus dipped his head in cheap gratitude and continued to saunter out of the crevice that was the walkway to the library and down the paths to the Pelletorium.
As he made his way through the entrance of the large rock-like bowl he heard one of the owlets introducing the new comers to their duties. Spreading his wings and pumping them up and down, with neither the slightest hint of effort, he flew above the pelletorium and out onto the main slap of canyon beyond the entrance.
Huffing lightly as the wind ruffled through his armor and along the tips of his feathers he watched as the patrol--and it's prisoner--made tight circles until they landed in front of the large snowy owl. His golden eyes were merely slits now as he glared at the young slipgizzle in his presence. 'Merely a chick...she's just barely learned how to fly it seems. Suicide mission I suppose' He thought blandly.

ooc:since it you said and eagle owl was leading you and Vess is a eagle owl and nymbus's mate. I'm going to join if you don't mind.
Viss has found a little owl on there border and she was bringing to her mate. As they entered St.Aggies she eyed the young owl. she carefully landed and tried to shove the owl closer to Nymbus. "Found this one on our border as you heard. Could be a slipgizzle from the pure ones since it is a nicely shaped barn owl." She said, nodding as she knew Nymbus already knew. Her battle claws clanked as she brought her talon a little up then down and her metal face mask shined in the sun.
Viss looked down as a little owlet hugged her leg. "Mommy, I'm tired." Said the little moonblinked owlet. "Yes little one, if you work more you shall sleep well, now go work my little angel." she said, her voice sweet almost angel like. The little owlet did a commanded and went back to work. "Now then. What do you want to do, Nymbus?" she asked, her feathers ruffling in the wind.

OOC: Of course I don't mind y'all joining. :3 But yeah, she's a secret Slipgizzle. Tehe. >:3
IC: She blinked her dark eyes at the word Slipgizzle.
"S-Slipgizzle? No, no!" Faylne looked up at the Ablah General, shaking in a bit of fear. She had no need to act on that part; she was truly frightened. The young Tyto Alba seemed to shrink closer to the ground, eyes wide. Her dark orbs poured into Nymbus's, full of pain, confusion, and fear, all which could be found in any normal owl her age in her quote-unquote "situation".
"I got lost, sir," she squeaked quietly. "My first hunt... I fell... And I... I..." The small Barn Owl's beak began quivering as if she was about to cry. Glaux knew if she was lying or not by now, for her acting was honestly impressive. Believable, in fact. Faylne stared back at Viss, the other owls, then back up at Nymbus. It was obvious he was the one in charge.
"I just wanna go home, sir," she sobbed, closing her eyes and whimpering softly.

Nymbus dipped his head toward his new mate. He didn't know her well but she was strong and kind to the chicks, which gave the Ablah General an advantage over the hatchlings. It's not that he was taking advantage of her motherly abilities but it was the main reason he took her as his mate. She was a beautiful owl Nymbus would occasionally think to himself and he wanted to get to know her more when the time came along. He listened to his mate's every word on the current matter as she shoved the terrified owlet before the Ablah General.
Glancing passed the trembling owlet, Nymbus watched as a stray moonblinked owlet cuddled against the Eagle Owl's leg. He scowled in response. Owlets who stray should be punished not coddled. The snowy owl snuffed loudly and called out to the owlet. He knew his mate would not approve but he liked having control and for things to stay in their proper places. "Owlet! Back to work!" he hooted roughly. He then evaded his mate's eyes and looked to the little owlet now who stood in front of him. She pleaded with large eyes.
The Ablah General starred into the owlet's eyes. Either she was a slipgizzle with wonderful deceptive skills or she truly had strayed into the wrong area. Either way she would be St. Aggies property now. Nymbus would keep a watchful eye on the owlet. He still had his suspicions but unlike a full grown slipgizzle he'd give owlets the benefit of the doubt. "You had better pray to Glaux young owl that you are not withholding the truth from me" Nymbus sneered with merely golden slits for eyes. Lifting his claw he placed it atop of the young tyto's crown and tilted her head from side to side as if analyzing her.
"Viss, I'll escort this young owlet with the other newlings..." he hooted darkly. He gestured to the owlet to follow him and he started toward the large crack of an entrance into the St. Aggies canyon.
He didn't look to the owlet that trailed after him but he said softly "You are an orphan now and there will be no home for you beyond these canyon walls..."

Viss didn't move a muscle when Nymbus yelled at the chick, she didn't mind. She too wanted to know her mate better but they were always being watched and always busy. She nodded as he led the little owlet away. She faced her patrol. "What are you doing here?! Get back to work and watch that young owlet!" She said, roughly. The patrol quickly got to the their posts. Great glaux what to do now. She thought, grimly. She flew up to a ledge and watched the owlets and guards and Nymbus with the owlet. "Just you wait little owlet." Seeing the moon slowly rise. "Just you wait." She flew into the libary and studied each thing.

Young little Faylne blinked, taking a few shuffled steps back as the Ablah General yelled at the chick. He obviously wasn't very friendly towards others. Well, Glaux, you're with St. Aggie's, she muttered to herself in her head.
As Nymbus stepped forward and tilted her head with his talon, she couldn't help but whimper. She thought she had done a pretty good job of convincing him, and he seemed as if he had believed her. Somewhat.
The young Tyto nodded and obediently hopped after him, heading towards the crack. As he spoke the last words, she tilted her heart-shaped face. "Home? Does that mean the other owlets and I can play Guardians?" She herself had never been aloud to play such a thing, seeing as she was born a Pure One. But she had heard word of the nestling game as she had flown towards this place. Her eyes wide, she looked around, not being able to help but sigh in wonder. This place seemed to have a natural beauty to it, even if what happened here was far from beautiful...
