[hr]
[color=9e0b0f]Loki was woken up to a high pitch “[i]kewee-kewee-kewee[/i]” coming from outside his apartment. He let out an annoyed groan and rolled out from under his sheets. He stopped to let his eyes adjust to the darkness as soon as his feet hit the floor beside his bed. It was definitely too early for any sane person to be up. His eyes quickly adjusted into his night vision, and he sleepily walked from his bedroom to the adjacent living room + kitchen. He threw open the screen door leading to the small balcony. His African crowned eagle Syxtar [i]Shade[/i] was perched on the balcony railing and abruptly stopped its annoying [url=http://www.xeno-canto.org/325714]“wake up call.”[/url]

 “What?” Loki snapped as the cool early morning air bit at his bare chest. Shade cocked its head to the side and gazed at him with its piercing yellow eyes. “You want to go hunting. That’s why you woke me up so early, right?” he questioned. Shade let out a sharp cry that grated on his ears. “Okay, okay. Hush up before someone hears you.” He turned around and went back inside, leaving the screen door open. 

He took a quick shower; the bathroom like the rest of the apartment was small and unassuming. It wasn’t completely desirable, but it beat living in the dorms at Gringore Academy. He tried that his first year. [i]Tried[/i] being the operative word. He was close to murdering his obnoxious freshman roommates. After his shower, he looked through his closet for something suitable to wear in the woods. His closet was filled to the capacity with dark colored clothes, a large portion of which were suits. He pulled out a pair of dark blue jeans, a burgundy long sleeve shirt, black combat boots, a navy hunting vest, and a watch to complete the [url=https://cdna.lystit.com/520/650/n/photos/josbank/451092535-Navy-7452df74-.jpeg]outfit[/url]. He grabbed one of the black suits and dress shoes to put in his car so he could possibly change into it later. When he was done getting ready, he peeked his head back outside. “You know the drill, Shade. Meet you at Gringore,” he exclaimed before shutting the screen door. He then grabbed his car keys and headed out. While he drove, Shade flew high above, staying hidden the best it could.

Loki and Shade ended up spending hours hunting and exploring in the forest and fields around Gringore. Shade was a born hunter and could dexterously maneuver its 5’ wingspan. It caught multiple rodents with ease and ate several of its catches. By the time they started heading back to the academy, Loki was in a better mood, and Shade had a decent breakfast. [/color]
