It was right below me.
Crouched carefully on a thick branch, I tracked the moving plant with
squinted eyes, slowly licking my lips. My mouth watered, taste buds
tingling at the phantom sourness that flooded my tongue.
Delicious creatures, they were. Sour when eaten raw and sweet when
tenderly cooked. I gulped, carefully releasing a shaky breath as the kalai
crept closer and closer, waving its luscious green leaves while bouncing on
its little roots. The way the little green plant moved always made me giggle,
but this time I held it back.
Quiet as the air around me, I rose, counting to three before plunging
from the branch. My claws extended, hands reaching for the creature that
was still oblivious to my presence. Just as I prepared to sink my claws into
its green, smooth flesh, vines shot from the ground and curled around it like
snakes suffocating their prey.
I gasped when my hands collided with them, and then my chin and the
rest of my body followed as I tumbled a few spaces away. A whiny hiss left
my lips as my body throbbed, but luckily no skin was scraped or bones
broken.
I whirled on the approaching feet. “That was mine!”
The corners of his mouth tilted upwards, a victorious grin splitting his
face. “But did you catch it first?”
I bared my teeth at him in mild irritation before glancing back to the
kalai, which was no longer shrieking.
The vines unfolded and sank back into the earth as Ayen lowered to his
knees. With gentle hands, he lifted the still kalai to his lips and murmured a
prayer. I pursed my lips and puffed my cheeks, glaring when he sank his
teeth into the plant with that taunting grin. My mouth watered, and I
hurriedly swallowed, almost tasting what he was enjoying.
Another set of footsteps approached us. I didn’t need to look to know
who they belonged to.
“So, you just let him have it in the end.”
“He is a plant child.” I crossed my arms and tilted my chin up with a
pout. “He will always have more advantage than me.”
My brother chuckled and gently patted my head. “The river is right
there. You could have formed a water shield to stop him.”
“I did not even sense him, Faelyn.”
“Because you are a child,” Ayen chirped, biting unnecessarily loud.
I glowered at him, and he laughed, his vivid green eyes sparkling.
I took the hand Faelyn stretched out for me and stood on my feet again,
smoothing down my yellow floral dress—strapless and tailored to my body,
reaching just above my knees.
Lyn, a male scarlet macaw with bright feathers and sharp eyes,
announced his approach with a loud squawk before he carefully settled on
my brother’s shoulder. The ground thumped softly, and I knew it was Yen
without looking.
Keia, my own companion, fluttered around me in a blur of green and
yellow and red before she rested on my head.
