âThis is beautifull Thank you, Mom and Dad!â Violeta exclaimed.
Niall chimed in, âWhereâs mine?â

Irene was putting the gift box away. She replied, âWhy do you need a gift for at your age? When you bring home wife, Iâll let her pick a few of my jewellery pieces.
Anton laughed heartily and asked, âVio, did you have fun on the prairie?â
âOf course! I even trained an eagle. Niall, hold my phone. Iâll fetch Hera here to show Mom and Dad,â Violeta said.
She shoved her phone at Niall, then ran to the camp to get the birdcage.
Niall sat on the grass, watching his parents on the phone screen.
âMom, youâre just using the daughterâinâlaw as an excuse because you donât want to buy me anythingâ
Irene retorted, âExactly! You have your own money. In the future, you can buy your wife something on your own.â
Anton interjected, âNiall, you met anyone special there?â
Niall looked up at the sky and said, âItâs not that easy to meet someone I like. Would you be okay if I brought someone random home?â
âOf course ,â Irene said, âbut you need to hurry up.
Violeta returned with the birdcage. Hera climbed out of the cage and stepped on her back as soon as she put her hand inside.
âMom, Dad, look! This is Hera, my little eagle.
Irene and Anton leaned closer to the screen.
âOh, itâs a young golden eagle,â Anton remarked.
âVio, how long did you train it?â
âSeven days!â Violeta replied.
Ireneâs heart ached instantly. She exclaimed, âSeven days? Really, Niall! How could you let her do that? Arenât you supposed to stop her? What if something happened to your sister?â
âMom, I couldnât stop her,â Niall defended .
âItâs okay, Mom. I insisted on training the eagle, Violeta assured.
Anton was less worried. He believed young people needed challenges.
He smiled proudly and said, âWell done. Vio. Iâm proud of you.â

âWhere are you now?â Irene .
âWeâre in Willowbrook. Weâre attending the Falconry Festival in a few days,â Violeta said.

Irene nodded and probed, âAre you comfortable where youâre staying? Eating well? Is it cold there?â
They chatted for half an hour.
Zoren and Hayden returned on horseback and joined the conversation briefly. Later, Sophia called them for dinner. The siblings finally ended the call.
Since they were with Sophia, the Reids treated them well.
After , they lay on the grass, gazing at the stars that seemed close but unreachable.
For two days, the youngsters raced horses and had fun on the grasslands.
The Reids had many skilled falconers. Violeta learned various training techniques and watched many grown eagles hunt rabbits on the grassland.
Hayden personally demonstrated training Zeus to return to the and answer the whistle.
During whistle practice, Violeta noticed Heraâs keen sensitivity to the sound, more so than other eagles.
It was a thrilling new experience for her to subdue the animal to follow her commands.
It was an entirely different experience compared to the previous one. One required the to act proactively, while the other was more about passive obedience.
Being able to bond with her eagle was absolutely incredible!
Time flew by, and the Falconry Festival arrived.
On the festival day, the Reidsâ falconers werenât the only few that attended; there were several from other families in the grasslands.
They had to compete to catch the most rabbits.
The coveted prize for the winner was a silver whistle.
The Reids crafted it specially, adorning it with totems symbolising good luck and blessings.
The whistleâs value lay in its commemorative significance and honour.
Violeta Sophia, as novices, could only watch the event because their eagles didnât fully respond to their whistles.
Only Hayden, with Zeus, qualified to participate in the rabbit hunt.
During the hunt, the falconers rode alongside their birds, tracking them across the grasslands.
From afar, Violeta and the others watched the spectacle of dozens of eagles soaring g in the sky.

Zeus, with its distinctive fur, stood out among its peers.

As the whistles echoed through the air, the eagles locked onto their targets and dived towards the ground.
The Reids purchased and released most of the rabbits to protect the environment. They would serve the captured rabbits at the evening feast, ensuring nothing went to waste.
Upon their release, the rabbits scattered wildly, with some diving into their burrows.
The winner would be the eagle that caught the most rabbits within the set time.
In no time, the eagles spread out across the sky.
âLook, thereâs Hade!â Zoren pointed.
Everyone looked towards where Zoren pointed. They saw Hayden on horseback atop a hill. The light obscured his face, but his silhouette remained clear. The horse grazed, and the silver chain in his hand glinted in the sunlight, making him particularly striking.
