Islana and The Falcon

While Islana left the two men to decide if they were staying or leaving, she found a perfect spot to stand. Away from the eyes of Boyce and Wim and near some trees.

The young woman didn't use her ability, didn't call out to the falcon in her mind. It didn't come. Letting herself move to peek to check on the falcon. It was still perched in the same place but looking in her general direction, then towards the two men, the back towards Islana.

The temptation to just communicate with the falcon was overwhelming but Islana held back. Something was telling her to do this without using it but to get the falcon to come to her.

While the huntress knew falcons were used to assist some hunters, she knew very little about falconry. Food. Food was what animals craved. It was definitely a motivator in her vision.

Reaching into her pack, Islana pulled out some jerky, and threw a few pieces on the ground, then backed away.

Islana heard the call of the falcon, her eyes spotted the bird circling over the jerky in the air. It swooped down, landed on the ground and started to eat the jerky.

The redhead watched as the bird ate the dried meat. She spoke quietly, "Sorry, it was all I had."

The bird finished the jerky and flew to a nearby tree, then looked at Islana.

"Kaithak?" No that wasn't possible, was it? Then again…

The falcon just continued to watch Islana.

"Well, I'm going to call you Kaithak." It certainly seemed fitting.

The huntress put more food on the floor, the falcon swooped down and ate it. Getting there.

Islana walked a little, the bird followed. A little more the bird followed. She put a little more food on the ground. It picked up the food and went back to a perch on the outside of the temple. Back to watching them, as Islana rejoined Boyce and Wim.
