| A city
where once battles were fought and cruel men ruled has become a place where
children now play games. One day young Aleta found a long neck hatchling
and brought him home in her cloak. Her mother warned her not to become too
close as one day she would have to get rid of the young gieslet. Years went
by and the two became inseparable. Some times Aleta would sneak out to the
barn and sleep next to his warm body. Her mothers warning became clear
one day after a small incident involving two neighborhood boys, one sling
shot, a partially destroyed fence, escaped goats, a flattened milking can,
and sadly an innocent cat and its failed attempt to zig zag out of
the way. |
