Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
Out of nowhere, an owl appears by my side. I flinch and lean back, surprised by how quietly the creature arrived.
It looks at me with two beady eyes and I match them, moving closer so our eyes are about a hoof apart.
What does this thing want? Who even let the vermin in?
“Can I help you?” I ask as if the owl had no right to be here. Which it didn't really.
“Hoo.”
Oh great – not only is it invading my private space, but it's brain-dead.
“Can you speak my language? Or construct an actual sentence of any kind?” Perhaps I could turn him into my drone and play Hive Queen for a bit. It would make sense, considering I no longer have wings to use. Although, that might be seen as sacrilege and I doubt the Queen would approve, given the mood she's currently in.
The owl tilts its head slightly. “Hoo.”
No, it's just plain stupid. Definitely not worthy of my time.
I turn away and look out the window again, impatiently waiting for Twilight's return. The owl however, stretches its wings and flies in front of me, blocking my view. I give a snarl, reminiscent of my changeling self, in its direction.
It doesn't flinch and instead looks me right in the eye again. Maybe there's a bit of intelligence there.
The owl glares at me, daring me to make another move. I almost laugh.
