The bird made circles in the air above them and then flapped its wings. Stones began to fall like rain. The wolfs maoned and growled and then ran into the forest.

The kida looked with amazement at the scene. They never saw Nordica before. While the bird made the wolfs ran away. The kids pulled Cressida to the side near a tree.

Taking shelter under a tree, they took a relaxing breath.

"Its beautiful." Aella said, getting closer to it.

Nordica forwarded its head to poke Aella with its beak.

"Was she trying to hurt me?" Aella asked.

"Yes." Aiden said. "They choose people who can touch them." He then added.
