Cypress held on tightly to the ash-brown neck feathers of his house sparrow mount, hugging his body tightly to its back.

The wintry storm had settled for now, only sprinkling snowflakes, but the air was still icy as it bit against his skin. His nose and fingertips were red, and felt as though they’d become frost bitten due to the speed of his mount.

It wouldn’t have been too bad if he’d been walking, but flying always sent a rush of air over him. His sparrow was even faster than his own wings.

However, that was not why he was using his house sparrow, who occasionally tweeted as it flew. If he tried to fly for a long period of time, it would freeze his wings. Cypress couldn’t risk tearing a wing – not now, not when he might need them in the future to find Sorrel.

They were safely tucked under his fur coat. It covered him all the way to the back of his thighs, and it had a hood with which he could cover his head and face. There were also two slits at the back that his wings could slip through in order to fly.

Cypress glanced over his shoulder to check on the two guards following him on their own bird mounts before turning his gaze back to Zahrya in front of him, who led them through the trees.

Everyone blended in with their birds, their brown fur coats matching their feathers. If a human saw them, they wouldn’t be able to notice the sparrows were being ridden.

Haven Hollow was quite some distance from his home tree.

With each quick flap of his mount’s wings, Cypress’ heart raced faster with the hope he was getting closer to Sorrel. At least he’d be able to save him, protect him, and make sure this never happened again.

I’ll have guards on him in the future. Even if Cypress couldn’t be with him because he had duties to perform, or Sorrel wanted to remain with Greta, he’d make sure Sorrel was always safe.

When they arrived at the hollow they needed, with two hollowed-out trees lying on the ground, they landed on the branches of a living tree that overlooked it. They tried to remain hidden as they all peeked down.

Although most lived in other homes fashioned out of anything, many beetle sprites liked to congregate together in masses. Figtree beetles, with their metallic outer shells, liked this haven in particular.

Cypress found the ledge platform belonging to Jeffers; it was in a live tree that overlooked the town... and it was empty.

“Okay,” Zahrya said with her hand on her wide hips. “So, we scout and–”

“No,” Cypress cut in, disrupting her plans. “We head straight for Jeffers’ menagerie.”

“We can’t.” She frowned her disapproval from under her fur hood. “We can’t get caught interfering with the sprites, no matter the reason.”

He knelt at the edge of the branch, assessing the best way to do this. There was no back entry point, from what he knew, and Jeffers had quite a few guards.
