Isabeau
She halted in her playful swoop at the indomitable Chaos, nearly tumbling. An anguished shriek emitted from her beak; a shriek which seemed to reverbate throughout the land.
At the curious gleam of the pup wolf's eyes, she flapped her wings ferociously, imperiously ordering him to stay his place - his company would only delay the long journey ahead.
Why???!!!
No more did she heed the indignant bewilderment bombarding her senses. Soaring up into the sky, she swept across the clouds, devoted concern the life-force which sustained her through the days' travel.
Finally...
I can make it... ~ Her eyes were beady no more, they dimmed with fatigue ~ I WILL make it! ~ The imperious light shone momentarily, flaring them into activity.
I... am... here... ~ A quick glance revealed her master - or, perhaps, former master, as the situation seemed to suggest. Her mistress was in another's sanctuary...
Her last moments of consciousness were spent taking in the utter darkness of the room before she collapsed onto the floor, feeling the bruise and finally giving into the overpowering exhaustion.
