The creature shifted, its eyes blinking again. It was seeing something it never thought it would set eyes upon again. His name was Raven. Or, at least, that was what his pack had called him, named for his gray skin and yellow striped jaws. And he was looking at his long-lost sister, Silver. He had thought she was dead. They were separated when the pack was killed on a hunt. Raven had thought he'd never see Silver again.
Silver looked up, staring idly into the ferns. Suddenly, a pair of leaf-green eyes blinked at her, and instantly the name Raven came into her mind. Ignoring the dead Para Steeltalon had brought home, Silver ran forward and bowled over the creature, pinning it down and staring at it.
Green eyes met dark blue as niether raptor moved. Finally, Silver breathed a single word. "Raven."
