Crazybird opened her eyes just as Nyra's now horribly broken body slowly gets to her feet. Blood was oozing out of her head, and her eyes to seemed have a psychotic look to it. Yet, before Crazybird could even get the chance to alert Kludd, Nyra suddenly stopped. The tyto slowly looked down to see her own heart grasped in somebody's battle claws. The owner then yanked back, causing Nyra's body to fall immediately. This time, she was dead.

Kludd looked back just in time to see Nyra fall. He must admit, he was a little sad that Nyra had to be killed. He did love her once. But it appears that fate has other plans for him and romance. Allomere tossed Nyra's still beating heart aside, looking down at Nyra with the hate of millions, but his expression was calm. "Paybacks a bitch ain't it?" he said bitterly. Nyra's cold corpse didn't reply. Carefully removing the silvery battle claws from her talons, Allomere walked up to Kludd and Crazybird with them. "I believe these belong to you." he said softly.

Crazybird nodded, smiling.

Gruff waited eagerly down in the court yard for either Allomere, Kludd, or Crazybird to come. Looking up, he gasped when he Allomere carrying Crazybird's injured body down. "What happened?! Is she alright?!" Gruff asked anxiously, sounding like a concerned father.

"She's fine Gruff." Allomere said assuringly, "She just has a broken wing."

"Thank Lupus!" Gruff sighed in relief before walking up to Crazybird and nuzzling her gently. He wasn't kidding when he said that he thought of Crazybird as a daughter. He then looked up at Kludd, who was now trembling slightly. But his expression softened. "Thank you." Gruff whispered.

Kludd was taken aback. He's never seen the wolf like this before. But he merely nodded instead of saying anything. Just then, the remaining group of Pure Ones came out of their hiding places and stood before the group, looking rather shocked and horrified. It was Gruff who walked up to them. "Leave. NOW." he demanded firmly, his green eyes flashing warningly. The owls exchanged looks before turning their attentions back to the wolf. It wasn't wise to be near one when they're angry. Without speaking, the group immediately took off and went their separate ways, wanting to get away from the wolf as far as possible.

After watching them leave, Gruff turned back to the owls. "Let's go home."

"Good as new." Gruff said after tying the bandage around Crazybird's wing. Kludd was relaxing on his fur nest enjoying the comfort. It felt good to be back in the cave once more. He and Allomere only had a few scratches from the battle so they didn't need any urgent medical attention. Gruff barely had a scratch on him. It was Crazybird who needed medical attention. Allomere was near the fire writing something. What he was writing Kludd didn't know.

Gruff trotted over and collapsed by the fire, exhausted. Kludd watched as he engaged in what appeared to be a conversation with Allomere, who was still writing. Kludd knew better then to eavesdrop so instead he quietly made his way to where Crazybird was at. The hybrid was reading a book when Kludd approached her. Looking up, she smiled at him.

"Is this spot taken?" he asked.

Crazybird giggled. "Nope." she replied. Kludd nestled down beside Crazybird and felt a little awkward being this close to a girl. But it's natural. "Thank you for saving me." she added softly.

Kludd blushed very slightly, "Like I said, you saved my life so I save yours."

Crazybird giggled. After a few brief minutes if silence she finally spoke again. "So what now?" she asked.

Kludd looked up and pondered on the question. Good question, what now? The Pure Ones were gone. He had no where else to go. And he really didn't want to leave Crazybird. So the logical answer to the question is that he might as well stay. "I think I'll stick around." he replied. Crazybird's expression brightened in happiness. "I knew you would." she said.

Kludd chuckled. The two suddenly fell silent as they gazed into each other's eyes. "Thank you... For not hating me..." he said softly.

"Kludd... I believe in redemption. There's a reason why you were rescued. You were given a second chance in starting a better life then one with the Pure Ones. Like Glaux, I believe that behind those crimson eyes of yours there is good."

Kludd nodded tearfully. For once...he was happy.

"And Kludd? Call me Victoria." Crazybird added softly. Kludd nodded, closing his eyes and slowly bending down, his beak slightly open. Victoria did the same, except she rose a bit. And then they touched. Their beaks becoming one as they kissed for they first time. For Kludd, he didn't want this to end.

"Ah hem."

The two quickly pulled apart and saw Gruff and Allomere looking at them with amused expressions. "If your going to make love then take it outside." Gruff said gruffly. Victoria blushed while Kludd gasped. Just then Gruff let out a howl of laughter. "Gotcha didn't I?" he asked, laughing.

CB and Kludd frowned at the wolf. They were having an intimate moment until Gruff ruined it for them. "Hey Gruff?!" Victoria suddenly called.

"Hm?" Gruff replied, laying his head back on his paws.

Victoria smirked. "How dose the title 'Uncle Gruff' sound to you?" she asked. Allomere arched a brow while Kludd let out a laugh. He personally liked the title. It would fit Gruff perfectly. Especially now that he and Crazy-no, Victoria, are going to be mates soon.

"Uncle Gruff eh? I like that."

End.
