The Sentinels the one that fathers the witch

The owl watched as the man regarded him as he was once regarded in the Fallen Forest. His ego stroked, he watched the other with apt interest. He never instructed those that were not witches, but he was old, and if he were to pass, he would need to teach another to share all he knew with and to instruct. We will teach you, Taltos, as you are willing to be in their servitude. Their servant, always, as are we. We would have a place upon your shoulder, and safety to hunt in your forest. You will hear the voices of Old through us, though if They would speak to you alone, that is of Their volition. The owl had no opinion on this. The fair folk and those of the forest who could be heard but not seen were strange, but beings he adored and also worked in service to. It was because of them he sought the witches, their magic helped them live on!
