Let the cold winds blow, and let the warm stones kill

Talon got into a crouch as he tasted the familiar scent of a Owl near by, tilting his head slightly down he caught sight of an owl in a tree a few paces away. This would be easier than he thoughth; the tom swiftly climbed up the scratchy tree, his claws not making a sound. The tom swiftly clawed his way up the tree, until he reached the branch the owl was perching on. Luckily the female horned owl was relaxing on it's nest; even more food. Talon balanced on the branch, for some odd reason this owl was just starting to wake up, his light footsteps made no noise, and hardly shook the ground.

Talon charged forward at the last possible moment, he let the tense muscles in his back legs spring loose; his forelegs spread and stretching forward, at the last possible second his claws fully unsheathed, sinking into the birds flesh. It let out a startled shreik, but it was cut off as Talon hurtled to the ground, bringing the owl with him, ending it's death fall with a swift bight to a artery in the throat; the jugular. Talon gracefully landed on the forest floor, a small tingle beginning in his paws quickly he threw himself of his paws, bending into a summersualt it saved him from spraining all his legs.

(While doing so he let go of the Bird)

Talon dragged the bird behind a bush, hiding it from the rest of the predators; while he gathered an egg from the tree. Talon slowly dragged the owl, then picked up the egg doing this very slowly and carefully until he reached the she-cat. "I'm back" he announced in his thick accent, dragging the Owl while rolling the egg. "Pick your entree, miss" he mewed respectfully.

_{The tom shrugged his broad shoulders, brushing off the question as if it was nothing " I just climbed a tree, and startled it. It would be alive if it woke up at the right time, but either wway it's egg would be eaten" Talon sighed, turning his back on her before cracking open the shell and slurping the warm liquid around the now dead developing owlet. It obviously was about to hatch, so the tom had a hearty, tasty owlet to eat he did not have to worry about feathers or any of that, all that dared to enter his throat was meat, blood and a little peach fuzz.}

_{Talon then turned to face her, licking his black, thin, rubbery lips of the last few drops of blood or egg liquid. "Tasty" he murmured good-heartedly, his small cranium turned to stare at the shelter she made "That is a mighty fine Shelter if I say so myself, Miss" he complemented her, the wind blowing back the fur around his glowing, pale amber orbs.}

W.I.P

[sub][font=georgia]Talon whipped his head from side-to-side in a quick, curt way. This action ment: 'no' in a silent language, that most cats knew; and if they didn't they probably where really stupid or had a mental illness. "But I suppose I shall sleep" Talon licked the strange taste off his lips, letting the tangy taste dissapear slowly, the egg tasted quite odd; Eagle eggs where much different than Owl eggs (He concluded) Talon walked into the shelter, curling up in the warm, welcoming moss; finally he realized how exhausted he was, muttering to himself in a quiet voice "Gee I must be more tired than I thought, not climbing mountains really ceased my strength and stamina" but slowly as he said this he dozed off into a deep, welcoming sleep.

_{OOC: WIP= Work In Progress}

_{IC: The tom woke up the the wonderful scent of prey, raising his drousy head from his small paws. he felt a tingly sensation go through his paws to his legs, the tom sighed "Stupid legs, they fell asleep as well" Talon unsteadily stood to his paws; they felt numb, for a moment he thought his legs had actually fallen off. As he plodded towards the prey, he looked down at Teddy "Thank you Miss" he murmured his low voice rumbling in his vocals.}

_{Talons' curved, black claws unsheathed sinking into the soft soil, in order to steady his large frame. The male lowered his neck to take a few swift bites out of the plump mouse; it was surprisingly fat for the season they where stuck in, but that only meant more energy for him. The tom left the thick, tempting rabbit for her to eat he thought it was only fair considering she was the one that caught it; also she had used more energy and needed even more to replace the few percentages she had lost.}

_{Talon looked up at her as he slowly raised his head, but soon he was looking down at her once again. "Hmm.. Eat up Miss, we must be on our way once again. I feel a patrol of cat's coming; they've already scented us and if they find us- I'm afraid we would have to fight, and that would waste way too much energy"}

OOC: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

IC: _{Talon broke off in a sprint, placing his paws carefully and silently making no possible noise except for the small crunch of snow underneath his paws, as he ran he shook off dew from his dark, coat. The tom sighed as he got out of the Danger zone, but only entered another one he was surrounded by marshy ground, there was pine trees surrounded them "Quick" nudging her underneath the prickly pine needles, he swiftly scooted underneath the tree, his dark, tabby coat blended with his surrounding totally out of sight. He raised his thick, long tail and rested it near her mouth signaling for her to be silent.}

_{Talon watched as a patrol of Shadowclan cats bolted to the border "I swore I smelt something!" one small cat mewled; he looked like an Apprentice. The male saw the same Thunderclan cats' he had scented charge to the border as well, "We scented something as well" they mewed, obviously over-hearing what the apprentice had said.}

Talon gave her a sharp yet knowledgeable look that had the expression: I know what I'm doing just shush and stay PUT! the tom turned his head to glare at all the other cats before them, watching their ears swirl and twitch as they picked up the words she had said, the tom turned to her they would take them both hostage if they found Talon and Teddy. "You go and run when I give the signal, I will distract 'em".

Talon stepped out from underneath the tree, swiftly blending in with the trees he headed towards the west then spun on his heel as if he was coming from the west "Looking for me?" he asked in a teasing tone "If you want me come and catch me!" he broke out in a run, hearing the foot falls of the cats behind him. But he was too fast for them, he flicked his thick banner signaling for her to run.

Talon sighed, shaking his head in dismay "Gee your cats are very... limited if I may in their skills" but with that remark, he continued the journey slowing to a slow yet steady pace.

Talon nudged his muzzle slightly up pointing at the sun, "The direction where the sun rises. They say that paradise lies there" the tom picked up his pace just of the thought of Paradise "Maybe the rest of my tribe is already there! Just maybe- the legends are true.."

_{The tom nodded his small cranium, his toned muscles rippling underneath Talons coat. "Do you not know of the Legends? It is written in stone, literally" he chuckled, his amber gaze following a crow as it drifted through the air. "Any Falcons or Eagles here?"}
