The Flight Of the Kaw
Part 8
By Fibbi
       Rushing from her bedroom to see what the crash was, she ran to the balcony which overlooked the Sapphire Hall. She looked down on the big room to see a whole bunch of birds attacking Wheeler and Linka.
        
        "Stop it! K'Kaw, chirptweet Kaw'k'kaw!!!!" cried Helenadia.
        For a moment, all the birds looked up at her. "But we're hungry," said a crow, a piece of Linka's jacket hanging out of its mouth. "Where is Noble Kaw?" asked another.
        "She's arranging dinner reservations for you right now. Go back to the courtyard, get busy on your nests. It's almost fall."
        The birds flew away. Linka wiped sweat off her forehead, checked herself for injury, and finding nothing but a few scratches, look at Wheeler. He, too, was fine.
        "Sorry about that," said Helenadia.
        "Uhm...I guess...it's okay..." said Linka, not really comprehending the whole situation.
        But Wheeler's mind was still as sharp as a needle. "Where are we?"
        "You're in the Sapphire Hall, at the Kaw's Palace. Gaia has Hope Island, but Kaw has the Sapphire Kingdom. You're our guests, but our birds beat you up pretty badly. Your bedrooms are in the process of being created, but in the meantime you'll sleep in the Sapphire Hall. I'm sorry, but we have no other place for you to stay right now." Helenadia looked at her watch. "The Kaw is out at lunch right now with some prospective clients, but when she comes back, we'll give you a tour of the place. Feel free to make yourselves at home."
        At that moment, an eagle flew in the room.
        "Helen, I apologize for the actions we birds took against our guests. We didn't know..." The bird turned towards Linka. "May I have your jacket? It's Grade A nesting material." Linka gave her jacket to the eagle, who thanked her and flew away. Linka had never seen a talking eagle before.
        Linka looked above her to see the ceiling of the Sapphire Hall open up and the Kaw fly down to land in the middle of the room.
        "Hi," she said. Then she looked at Helenadia. "Shall we give them the Grand Tour?" She handed a doggie bag to Helenadia and began to walk to the big doors at the other side of the hall.
