Ninox had arrived. He decided he would roost here in the Barrens after that hagsfiend scare in the Dominion of Silverveil. Although there were no trees here, he was sure he could roost in a burrow, at least overnight. Right now, though, finding food was his priority. Suddenly, he heard a slow heartbeat on the ground. Ground squirrel, he thought. Mmm, thriteen lined. My favorite! Ninox took off and entered a steep dive. Talons extended, he struck the ground squirrel, killing it instantly. He then carried it off to a near unoccupied burrow, probly a kit fox's at one point. After he was done with the squirrel, he went to sleep, pondering what he would do for the rest of his life. Constantly wander? He had to settle down at some point. Maybe he would try to find the fabled Great Ga'Hoole Tree. This was his last thought before he drifted into sleep.
