Pegasus

I was woken in the middle of the night by high pitched screaming. It sounded more like a cat than a fairy. I quickly dressed and rushed out of the tent. Rob was already standing in front of his own tent, staring at the jar in his hand and smiling in satisfaction at its content.

“It worked then.”

Rob forced his gaze away from the trapped fairy and looked at me. “I never had any doubt.”

I grinned. “Liar.”

We both turned our attention back to the jar and I reached forward to take hold of it. Moments later I sensed movement behind me, but didn’t turn around.

“Still doubt me?” I asked Rachel as she approached, holding up the jar so she could see that Fee was inside.

“I didn’t think anything so small could make so much noise,” she said.

Fee stopped screaming and started to screech. “You cannot do this to me.”

“Well it appears we can,” Rob said in a mocking tone.

“What do we do with her now?” Rachel asked.

“I’ll send her back to her mother.” I knew the best way to do this, but needed to check something first. “You’re not scared of birds are you?”

Rachel frowned in confusion but shook her head. Hopefully she will thank me for asking when she realises the reason for the question.

“Under no circumstances remove the lid,” I said as I handed the jar over to Rob. I then looked up into the sky and started to caw like a crow. As I called out I could hear Fee taking advantage of my attention not being on her. She began to cry and begged Rob to let her out. I glanced over my shoulder and was pleased to see that he was ignoring her.

I went quiet, but continued to look upward and a short while later I began to smile. Despite the fact that it was dark I could see that Tridae was on his way.

The giant bird, which is easily as big as a pterodactyl, soon landed in front of me. I noticed Rachel slowly inching away as I walked straight up to him and started to stroke his beak. “This is Tridae,” I said without looking around. “Leader of the great falcons.”

Neither Rachel nor Rob made a sound.

“Magnificent, isn’t he.” I then looked and noticed that both of them were still backing away. “He won’t harm you. Come and introduce yourselves. He understands English.”

Rob plucked up the courage and moved forward, carrying Fee with him. The poor fairy was so scared she tried to hide under her wings.

“You’re not planning on feeding Fee to this thing are you?” Rachel asked in horror.

I laughed. “Of course not. Tridae is a courier not an executioner.”

Rob told the bird his name and bowed low. The noises the bird emitted made him sound like he was amused.

Looking reluctant, Rachel slowly moved toward the falcon. “Hi,” she managed to stammer. “My name is Rachel. Please don’t eat me.” She looked at me. “Am I supposed to curtsey?” she whispered.

“Do you
