I knew that the only thing I wanted in this world was to be back in her arms. I knew though that it would be a long time until that happened again as I was far too valuable to the soldiers around me and to the war in a whole. It had been a year since I had been with her last but I knew it was that memory that kept me going. It was then that I heard my friend's voice calling ...

The house was quiet, which was something she both enjoyed and yet still found disquieting. She was alone so often these days. As her children had grown and developed lives of their own they spent more and more time away from home. She was proud of them, they were very self sufficient and outgoing.

Slender pine trees and ancient oaks loomed upward, their green leaves blotting out the brilliant sunset, dull olive pine needles overpowering the red and pink hues that stuck out just above the horizon line as the sun disappeared.

Grooming Agdar, his brush gently purging the jet black feathers of accumulated filth, cleaning the gore off his talons and shining his mighty horns. Flashes of battles fought, some won some lost. So vivid he could smell the tang of blood and sweat and the acrid odour of death. Where am I? Why do i feel so strange? His eyes opened slowly onto an unfamiliar sky. He turned his head and viewed an alien landscape. His roar filled the air.
