Tucker just sort of stared at Taka and cawed out loudly as he swooped at her with his claws.
"Tucker!" Heather's call was the only thing that stopped him. Heather glared up at him. What Taka thought was a dance Tucker thought was a challenge to fight.
Heather sighed, a little annoyed with Tucker. "I had a sister as well..." She said. The words hung in the air as Heather let them sink in. "She was abeautiful girl..." She said. "But I don't want to bore you."

Taka swooped gracefully out of the way of Tucker's claws and did another backflip in the sky. She called out yet another Cree, but this note sounded more friendly and inviting. Once again, Taka hovered in the air above Tucker momentarily before doing several backfips in the air.
Tsuruko too, looked into the air, hearing Tucker's cry, and called out to her falcon. "Taka, stop teasing Tucker !" Hopefully this would stop Taka momentarily and prevent both of the birds from killing or injuring themselves. Taka hovered in the air, calling out shrilly at Tsuruko in protest. Tsuruko gave Taka a stare and Taka twirled back down to her master's shoulder. Taka gave her head a few shakes before going back to preening her flight feathers.
Tsuruko turned back to Heather again. "No, no. . go ahead. . tell me more about your sister and yourself. . .we have all the time in the world perhaps. . "

Tucker screeched and flew down to Heather's shoulder as well, giving Taka a long glare.
"Well..." Heather said. "Its sort of hard to tell really...my sister...she was older than I. SHe was the one who was supposed to really be the next Ravenmaster but...someone told my father that she was to be the one to travel to the temple and fufill her destiny. My father told my sister this and she went out in search for it. I haven't seen her since then...." She explained. "So I am to be the Ravenmaster...her destiny was planned for her mine was given to me just because she had a better one."
Tucker stared at Heather and pecked her head slightly, making Heather wince.

Taka blinked back at Tucker and gave her head a small quiver before tucking her head under her wing. Soon, she fell into a light sleep; falcons were not nocturnal. Tsuruko gave a small look at Taka and returned her gaze shortly back to Heather and the angry Tucker.
"Well. . .I was the eldest child of the family. . .and. . .I wanted to become the next protector unlike my younger sister. . she wanted to go adventuring and be a healer. . .my father didn't object to this because there were many others waiting to become future protectors for our village. . ."

Heather looked at Tsuruko for long time and sighed. "You are truly worthy to be looking for this temple. I only wish I could help you in some way." She paused. "Can you promise me something though?" SHe asked.

She looked back at Heather for a moment as well, curiosity only showing deep in her eyes. She had been to the temple only once before, and that was after the Hell Fire Incident, a thing that changed her life forever.
"Umm. . .sure. . .what do you want me to promise. . ?"

"Just promise me...promise me that you won't fail." Heather said. Determination showed in her eyes. "I don't really have a reason...there just haven't been many people who have made it to the temple."

"I-I'll make sure I get in the temple. . ." Tsuruko was rather surprised at her request, but it was one she planned on keeping. Taka was now sleeping soundly on her shoulder.

Heather smiled. "Thank you." She said. Tucker made a loud screech again and tugged Heather's hair. Heather looked at him. "If you're so restless then why don't you fly around?" She asked. Tucker just stared at her. Heather sighed. "Still won't talk will you?" SHe asked him and looked to Tsuruko again. "I've had his for a couple years and he hasn't said a word to me."

Tsuruko looked curiously at Tucker, then at Heather. Did she just say, talk? Out of all the birds in the world she knew of, only the birds in the tropics far away were blessed with the gift of crackly speech.
"Talk?. . .you mean Tucker can talk. . or is supposed to talk?"

"Well you have to teach him..." Heather said. "But yeah, he can talk." She looked at Tucker again. "I think he just doesn't have anything to say, that's all." Tucker stared at her as well and then pecked at her head again.

Tsuruko gave a soft Ahh, finally understanding what Heather meant. She watched as Tucker pecked Heather again ; her falcon, Taka, would only give a small nip on her ear if she had done something to irritate the falcon. She said playfully to Heather and Tucker.
"Oh. . .ok. . .why does Tucker keep pecking you?"

Heather winced once again and extended her arm so Tucker could fly off of her shoulder. Tucker took the hint and flew above their heads. Heather sighed.
"As I said before," She said. "He's restless. I suppose I should be getting back to the tower. Even though it is late at night I still have tasks at hand. The regular things a Ravenmaster is obligated to." Heathed cast her gaze to the ground. If only she could stay a little longer with this amazing youn woman! She was going to the temple! If only her sister had made the trip as well. But that was in the past. Heather reminded herself not to dwell upon the past but have hope for the future. SHe had faith in Tsuruko.
