Within the shadows of the tree I remain motionless, cept for the blinking of my mismatched eyes. I am the first to witness the happenings but not the first to gather. My curiosity ties me here, anxiously waiting for what the man promises. Another comes, and then another, before they still.
Finally, he elaborates on his purpose. My blackened head twists to view the man better with my crimson eye. I listen intently to all he promises them. Freedom, he had claimed, but I am no more convinced now than I had been when I arrived. How can one claim to give something if it was free to them already? My question is soon answered as the plot thickens. The flame licked man speaks of upheaval. Of chaos and disorder. The stripping of the kingdoms and instituting anarchy. My wings shift as I rebalance on the branch I perch on. I have never engaged in the politics of the Kingdoms, but I don't feel they are a bad structure to uphold. Of course, anything can be bad if the one to run it so chooses.
It is only a moment more that I pause at the ending of his speech. I have felt myself searching for something, a belonging of sorts, but this was not it. I was not the type to wreak havoc. My search was more family oriented, a unit of those that worked together for the greater good of all. One of strength, dignity; just and good. I would not find that here. With a leap my wings expand, flapping to bring me skyward quickly and silently. The information I received here may be useful, so I tuck it away for a rainy day. Those gathered will not even know of my attendance here...
