Gender: Female
What made them so tired?: As soon as the sun rises so does Amadis. With not a single second to waste she rises from one of the numerous nests that rest in the towering trees, her family light snores still filling the air.
She has a busy day ahead, first gathering berries, squeezing beneath thorny bushes, climbing along thin branches and reaching as far as she can. Amadis tries not to tire her wings out this early though, she still has a lot left to do.
She lays all the berries in a pile in a hole in the main tree where her family sleep. Some members are now starting to wake up, a couple of hatchlings start to dart around Amadis, biting her antennae and tail. Theres no time to play yet though, she sends them back to their nests.
It's those same nests that Amadis is now looking for material for. She darts through the undergrowth, picking up each feather, clump of fur and then she flies higher to pick moss. Elders grumble when she gets back and disrupts their sleep to fix their bedding. Everyone else is awake by now, keeping youngsters out of trouble and enjoying a berry breakfast.
Just a quick snack before she hunts. This is where she's glad she avoided flying before. Now she needs as much energy as she can get as she dives at small enemies and prey alike. Mice, voles and small birds fill the gap where the berries used to be. Amadis discourages larger hawks and a few small and young dragons from travelling towards the nest, keeping the hatchlings safe.
After all the hard work she heads to the river for a drink. Something reflects in the water. She squints at it a moment, cautious from tales of water dragons. A splash and she recognises it as dinner. Quickly she lunges bringing the fish onto land. It's almost half her size but slowly she half drag half flies it back for her parents. She's still panting from the effort as she lays it in-front of her father, his wing hangs limp but he breaks it up for his mate first, her front leg is still healing but her milky eyes crinkle up in happiness from the chivalry. It's a busy day and Amadis is completely exhausted at the end, but at least she helped her family
