2.124 Nordica

Nordica came and sat in front of them. They gazed at the bird, observing its each and every part. Its crown, wide wings, stripped legs.

"Its beautiful." Aella said, getting closer to it.

Nordica forwarded its head to poke Aella with its beak.

"Step back." Aiden pulled her back.

"Was she trying to hurt me?" Aella asked.

"Yes." Aiden said. "They choose people who can touch them." He then added.

"Why did she save us them?" Aella asked again.

Her answer was given by the bird itself. Nordica came beside Cressida. It then began to pull her hair.

Cressida didn't flinched by her touch. With a sharp chirp, Nordica flapped its wings. Aiden and Aella covered their ears by their hands. Cressida shrinked her eyes by the loud sound.

Fingering her ear, she opened her eyes and saw Nordica.
