Chimney

Osprey's abilities to imagine things could be compared to a tree that had grown from a tiny seed and kept growing bigger and spreading branches everywhere. She had been born with a keen mind and eyes to sense, see and observe things most people thought of being unremarkable. From the very first moment, she had been able to arrange her little vocabulary of words in sentences, she had been asking questions about all kinds of things and circumstances. When adults couldn't quench her curiosity, she had managed to fill in gaps with her own guesses. So it had started... and this childish curiosity had remained with her, even though she had grown up a long time ago. Speaking of imaginary friends - she had had them too.

"That's just the thing they can do. Excellent," she praised Tytonidae for her contribution to the story. What was great about creating stories was the simple truth "you could never be wrong". So the girl's guess was just as valid as it would have been, if she had said, that "they walked around with machine-guns" - whatever it was anyway. "There aren't many creatures that can take trees down, are they?" she smiled at her and then went on.

"So in order to get to the sun, he began to build a pile of trees so high that he could climb up and take the desired gem from it's resting place. He worked day and night, pushing down a tree after tree and piling them up, but no matter, how high the pile was, the sun was just as far as it had been in the beginning.

So, when the giant realized that his job was pointless, he just sat down by his pile and began to cry. And a giant can "cry up" a whole lake. So it didn't take long, before there was a salty lake spreading around him long and far.

Every story needs an adventurer - and we have one coming our way just now. She was a young and adventurous wolf - it wasn't unusual at that time, when young wolves left their packs early, in order to learn more about the world and have an exciting life - full of danger, excitement and adventure.

Hawkeye - our heroine - was one of that kind. She had just won and banished an evil witch, who had enslaved the wolf-dwarf clan, become a little deaf in one ear and her sight had become a bit worse from a bad curse, but otherwise her spirits were high and she looked forward to the next quest. Imagine, how surprised she was, when she found a salty lake in the middle of the forest and a very sad and weeping giant sitting in the middle of it!

She didn't give much thought, but splashed through the lake of tears and went straight to the giant creature. Now... the magic decided to play a trick here and didn't reveal, what she said to him. What do you think - what could it have been?" she paused and cast an expectant glance at Ty.
