Finally JAbarl and Dastan found their way to the forest near the castle. Dastan landed to give an update.
"There is a castle near and only two wolves." Dastan said.
"Only two? Wow, it must be pretty small." JAbarl said. "Do you think they'd let us join?"
"Join? I have no idea. I saw other birds with them." Dastan said, a far away look in his eye.
"You want to join as much as I do," JAbarl said chuckling.
Dastan ruffled his feathers.
"There are very few birds of prey in this area. I get lonely too you know."
JAbarl just laughed.
