"We did indeed. We persevered." Ebony said. She followed closely behind Toaren as they snuck down the hallway. Once the thundering hoot and shriek were heard, she shrunk down instinctively, as if to hide herself. Then it was gone.
Ebony turned her head as Toaren told her about what Baefyre had done to her. "Well I invite you to help me extinguish his life, then." She said. Ebony stiffened when the Tyto put his beak to her ear slit. But as she heard what he said, she relaxed and smiled, seeming with stand a bit taller with pride for both of them. Her voice was filled with sureness and affection as she answered, "That's a fantastic plan." She grinned. "We'll be the best rulers the Pure Ones have ever had. We'll rule a powerful kingdom, and all those who are not Tytos will be subjected to slave work, executed, or forced to fly for their lives to the Beyond." She said, her mind filling with images and thoughts of their future.
Ebony turned to look at Toaren. "I... uh, I think I love you." She admitted abruptly.
Toaren grinned and nodded. "Perservere we did. And we have growb so strong again." He stared about the tree darkly, thoughts of bringing it to its roots filling his mind, crowding out all else. Then he shook his head slightly to clear the buzzing thoughts out of it. He instinctively wrapped his wing over her like a shawl as she wilfed, then rapidly removed it as the resounding call faded.
He grinned again, his evilest, darkest smile. "I am only all too glad ti accept that invitation, then." He slitted his eyes, making himself appear even more menacing. Then he let out a silent gasp of relief as she stood tall, and he nearly collapsed in his happiness when she spike to him again. "I am so glad you approve of my...master plan," he chuckled. "We shall rule high and supreme, better than any Pure One has ever ruled before." His eyes glowed with passion. "Yes, yes, my dear Ebony." He paused and turned to look at her, and ciuldn't help losing himself in her face. Her hard, beautiful face. That Pure One face he knew so well ,full of emotion, and not all hate. "We shall send all other owls packing for their lives, or we shall gladly take them." His gaze grew cold and hard, like steel. "And any Tytos who refuse to join us will be perfectly and delightedly executed." Then Toaren paused thoughtfully. He thabked Glaux that he could think this plan through! "Wait. No, we must leave some if them. For we need some families of Tytos to live still, yes? Tupsis must still be pefformed, am I correct?" He puffed out his chest, proud with himself for his bit of sudden knowledge.
He turned to stare at her in a kind of dazed shock. Then Toaren looked diwn at his talons and murmured slowly yet affectionately, "I...I think...I think I may love you too."
