The rainforest was quiet. It normally was just before sunrise, before the birds awoke to sing their songs. It was a clear day, one of very few that came around. Today Evakyl was making his way up to the top of one of the taller trees to look out over the canopy of green. His gaze glancing about for any real signs of danger. He had been trying unsuccessfully to fly once more. Every time he glanced skyward he could feel the need to be airborne once more grip at him. Granted his many attempts usually ended up in the mud below but he was undaunted. Today he would try from higher up. As high as he could get. At least this way he could just fall slowly if he couldn't get it right instead of floundering. After assuring himself there as no one around, he perches himself on one of the branches, takes a deep breath, and jumps into the air, spreading his wings to catch the air. A small bit of excitement crept up inside him as he glided along, working on his balance, thinking that he had at last found himself a means of being able to fly again... when suddenly he heard a bang from below and he was caught up in a net and crashing to the earth once more, squawking and struggling with his bonds. He crashed through the trees and hit the ground hard to the point he was seeing stars.
"Lookie here boys. Looks like the stories are true." he heard a voice say
"What're you gonna do with it?" another voice asked
"Hell if I know. Maybe I can sell it to the fair" the first answered
"I think you should keep it and show it off yourself. Or kill it and stuff it for your mantle"
This was not a good day... not at all
