Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 3 ~a tale of two birds~

“ron?” “Ron?!” “RONN!” Ron’s eyes blinked open, everything was fuzzy, then it cleared and he saw a beak, a grey beak. The beak opened and said “ROOONNN!!!” “What!?” Ron said pushing the beak away with his wing. “Oh your awake.” Ping said. “Where are we?” Ron asked. “in paradise!” Ping answered. Ping waved his flippers around, showing Ron the scenery. Ron looked around him, they were sitting on a rock and all around them was.. snow, ice, snow and more snow, there was a snowstorm so he couldn’t see very far, and to the left there was an iced over lake. “This is paradise?!” Ron said. “To me. I’m a kairuku remember?” Ping said. “Oh right..,” Ron said. “Do you see that?” He said. “See what?” Ping said turning to look, they looked off into the snowstorm and saw a shadowy figure. “Hello?” Ping said. The figure came closer, then a half dozen other figures stepped forward, the first was close enough now to get a good look and they saw a huge wolf. “Direwolfs! RUUNN!!” Ron said. They turned to the left and ran as fast as they could, behind them they heard howling and snarling, there was also the sound of paws chasing after them, but Ron couldn’t hear that over his heartbeat.. they ran past a part of the ice lake that was cracked, then Ping said. “Wait a second!” And jumped in the lake “WHAT?!” Ron said. Ron ran for his life, but the direwolves gained ‘I can’t believe Ping ditched me!’ He thought, Then he reached a cliff wall, there was nowhere to go, nowhere to run, he turned to look at the wolves, they were very menacing, bared teeth, icy fur, yellow eyes that seemed to glow. Ron closed his eyes as he waited for the end.
