The young boy was becoming more bold, adventurous, slipping through the forests farther and farther away from his mother. For while she’d offered her food and warmth, in recent days she seemed to have vanished. At first it worried the boy, startled him when the idea of such a possibility could ever occur. Perhaps she was playing a game? She would come back after all, she always did – like the sun, it rose and fell, but it never ceased to return. Even in all this cold, in the vast nothingness awaiting his discovery, she – or he – would find one another.

No other choices or possibilities assaulted the child. With a grin printed across his lips, he wandered aimlessly into the forests. A disjointed humming following his small and lanky frame, stumbling, now and then on some snow covered branches or rocks. For the most part he could manage with a hop, and a giggle for the sake of filling up the silence.

He liked his mother’s voice most of all, and perhaps the simple noises of the critters were all right. But a voice was something more to the boy; a song spinning tales, and an instrument to sing him to sleep.

His would have to do, as he rounded past tree trunks and skirted around bushes. After a while the cold began to press too close, it was much more than a prickle, Saoirse nearly felt numb!

“Oh no… Mama?” A tremor of distress passed his lips. Why was she playing these games now? With an impatient squeal, those pale limbs bounded further into the maze – perhaps running faster would cover more ground. “Mama?! Eh… where you hide?”

The forest broke open to a snow laden grassland. He’d dove into its depths, too small to see above the tall bushels and lost his footing. Squeaking from the impact – he decided to rest there for now, against his side. Legs sprawled, wings tucked close beside him. Bright green eyes, miserable at that moment – stared into the grey sky forlorn and saddened.

“Mama flies. Mama, I wanna fly, too…”
