Story:
Bang
I had been visiting the countryside where my sister lived. She hunted for her own food, since town was more than a half hour away. My brother-in-law was taking me out bird hunting, and I hardly even knew how to hold a gun. I'd never enjoyed guns, or hunting, or even eating any meat that wasn't fish, simply because I wasn't a fan of other meats textures.
My brother-in-law seemed frustrated, unable to hit any o his targets. A bad day, he called it.
He told me I could stay outside and take a walk, which I was more than happy to agree to. Forests had always been peaceful to me.
The deeper into the forest I walked, however, I found that my brother-in-laws lack of finding birds seemed almost impossible. Birds were everywhere, big and small. I eventually found a creature with big eyes staring at me, a creature I'd never seen before.
"Aww you're so pretty." I knelt down to not scare the animal and I was surprised by the way it approached me immediately. It made a small "chirrup" sound and I noticed the way it's fur had birds streaming down it.
Did this creature try to protect the birds? That was adorable. But at the same time, I didn't want my sister and her husband to starve.
"H-hi... Do you think you could come to where I live? There are lots of birds there, and they get hunted sometimes. But my sister and her husband are here.. I hate to say it, but they need to eat. Where I live, no one needs to hunt. They just do. Come protect them, please."
The creature looked at me almost as if I was crazy- wide-eyed and head tilted to one side. Then it looked at a few of the birds on the trees around it, and looked back at me.
Was that a yes?
"Uhm... Okay.." I picked up the animal- it was kinda heavy, but I didn't mind. I held it like a cat, and began to carry it back to the car where I'd go home. I placed him inside the car and smiled. "Stay here."
I walked back into my sister house and saw my brother-in-law sitting there complaining disheartedly. "Hey, go try again. There are tons of birds outside."
Skeptically, he went.
I decided to go home, however. It was a long drive, and my new friend stayed in the front seat with me. He was friendly, and seemed curious, like a sort of puppy.
Once I was home, my brother-in-law had sent me a picture of their catch. A large falcon. I wasn't completely sure hunting them was legal in their area, but he also said he was just shooting aimlessly.
I showed it to my new friend and they seemed taken aback. That must be hard for him. I sighed. "Hey, let's honor them. I'll name you Falcon. Is that okay?" I smiled and opened my arms like a hug as I knelt on the ground. Falcon padded over to me and allowed me to wrap my arms around them, purring quietly.
