Episode 1, Season 1 // Guardians of Ga 'Hoole

Instructions

Folkvar landed gracefully onto a branch in front of the hollow with a mouse in his talons. The owlets were playing. Xan sprawled out his wings. "I am the great Duardo. I'm the most fearless soldier in the guardians." Sashura giggled. Rosamond jumped around. "Xan, you said I could be Duardo." she sighed, Xan folded his wings. "Next time, alright?" Rosamond opened her wings. "Well, I hope you're not lying to Scar Face!" then she ran towards Xan. Zygmunt sighed. "Do we need to be playing these childish stories? I mean, there just stories, Xan." Xan sighed. "Come on, Zygmunt. Will you atleast play with us?" His brother sighed and looked away. Folkvar chuckled. "Alright, owlets. I do believe it's time for bed." Xan took off his leaf helmet and settled into his nest. Mrs. G slither out of Rosamond's nest. "I made it extra soft for you, dear." she hissed. Sashura walked up to Folkvar. “Da’, I know Xen’s a bit of a dreamer. Do you worry for him.” Folkvar cleared his throat. “I worry for all of you. It seems like yesterday you three were hatchlings.” Sashura smiled, hugged Folkvar, and went towards her nest to sleep. _____________________________________________ Zygmunt harshly glided down from branches. “Ima be the best Tyto!” he exclaimed. Sashura glided down but still had trouble. She flapped her wings to stay on the branch. “Da’! I’m ready.” Xan walked out of the hollow. Folkvar glided down next to his side. “Alright, now don’t worry for how much noise you make in the beginning-“ Xan glided down to a different branch without a problem. “Outstanding job.” Folkvar exclaimed. Zygmunt scoffed and Sashura congratulated Xan. "Oh, please. Beginners luck." Zygmunt growled. Folkvar flew down and carried Xan back up. "Alright, I've got to go on a hunt. Be good." Rosamond came hopping out of the den. "Don't worry, Da'. I'll make sure they won't ever-leave." she yawned. Mrs. G pulled her pack into the hollow. The older siblings all watched their father leave. "Wanna try more branching?" asked Xan to both to them. Zygmunt sighed. "Why? So you can show off again?" He started to head inside the hollow. Xan got a idea. "Alright. Then we'll just stay here and play pretend again." Zygmunt turned and growled. _____________________________________________ Sashura glided down from branch to branch correctly. "Man, those branching tips worked out perfectly, Xan. Thanks!" she exclaimed. Zygmunt scoffed. "Maybe I could teach you, Zygmunt? Without you getting angry." He rolled his eyes but listened. "Well, I imagine myself on a great cliff with the guardians. We are about ready to dive down into battle-" he stopped when Zygmunt pushed him. "Enough stories!" he yelled. Zygmunt pushed Xan which made Sashura fell off the branch. Xan bumped into Zygmunt trying to stay on, but he made then both fall onto the ground. Xan landed on his back. "Xan! Xan, are you alright?" questioned Sashura hurriedly. Xan groaned as he got up, feeling the pain in his back. "We-we're on the ground." Zygmunt got up. "No, no. This is the worse place for an owl." Sashura peered her eyes towards the bushes. She heard rustling. Xan looked into the bushes. "Zygmunt, try to fly!" Sashura told him. Zygmunt tried to fly up to a branch, but failed. "It's harder than it looks, Sashura." he growled. Xan gulped. "Fox!" he screamed. The three started to run in different directions. Sashura hid behind the tree stump. Zygmunt got pinned by the fox. "Xan!" he yelled. Xan hurried over and attacked the fox. Just then, three full grown owls came diving in a scared the fox away. Xan went over to thank them, but instead on of them grabbed him and flew off. Another one grabbed Sashura. The last one grabbed Zygmunt's talon. They flew off, away from their home in Tyto Forest.
