Koren was always among the first knights to arise, finding necessary to make his days as productive as possible, so by the time the bird began unleashing bedlam in the citadel, the young knight was already midway through his morning routine. Even so, he was startled by the sudden appearance of the rabid bird, but found the reaction of his fellow knights even more so. They were just as chaotic as the bird, hurling objects and spells around with reckless abandon, likely causing even more damage than the bird would have been able to do on its own. Koren remained calm, however, for he could see that this problem had a very simple solution, one that required nothing to be thrown at the bird. 

Koren stood stoically as the other knights scrambled about like madmen, his ramient in one hand, and an empty pillow case in the other. Once the bird decided it was time to wreak havoc around Koren's neatly organized area, the knight struck the ground with his halberd, and not long after the bird tumbled to the ground. Birds were only capable of flight because they were so light and efficiently designed; simply doubling gravity was enough to clip their wings. The hawk flapped its wings in vain to raise itself off the ground, but before the beast realized its futility, the pillow case fell over its head. Victory assured, Koren calmly tucked the raptor's fluttering wings in so he could continue putting it in his makeshift sack without hurting the creature, and then finally engulfed the bird entirely. The bird would be uncomfortable, but so long as Koren handled the pillow case gently, it would be unharmed.

The young knight looked at the destruction the bird had wrought and shook his head. This could hardly be considered a victory. Perhaps if they had some semblance of organization they could have saved themselves a grueling morning cleanup. Writhing pillow case in hand, Koren said to his companions, "Shall I let it go, or shall we prepare a cage and wait for its master to come for it? These birds do not behave thus..." he motioned to the clearly deliberate vandalism about the room ..."unless they have been trained to do so."
