The jade green sea rippled by underneath me as I glided by, hunting for my prey. Any one of them could be my victim, the enticing, plump, unsuspecting, foolish fish. Today was perfect; cloudless, the sky beautiful azure, the breeze, the way the sun reflects off the sea-you couldn’t ask for a better day, especially if you’re hunting. Shifting my gaze towards a certain flash of movement, I knew I found him. Folding in my wings close to my body, I tilted, diving down hundreds of feet, slicing through the air, savoring the thrill of the moment. Preparing my perfectly curved claws, I snapped my wings out at the precise moment, impaling my prey, instantly abolishing his short miserable life. Caging the carcass in my talons, I slammed my wings downward, my muscles straining. Flapping furiously, I continued on my path to Lokis, the island of which I live.
