In comparison to Junior, who seemed not to think very highly of her parents and Saena, who didn't mention her adoptive mother - Hawkeye - at all, probably for the same reasons she didn't like to call Kisu a "dad", it was heartwarming to see, how very dedicated and loyal Tytonidae was. She quickly linked the Hawkeye in the story to her own mother and there was no grudge, no disappointment in her voice, when she added her part of the story - her mom did, what all mom's did, when they saw a kid crying (even if it was a ten times bigger than her) - they offered to help. Even if it meant to bring the sun down from the sky.

Osprey offered a warm smile to her niece, nodded and continued:
"The giant couldn't stop the flow of tears immeadiately. He was still sobbing and his eyes were watery, when he looked at the small creature that had spoken to him. And he said to her - If I, who am so big, mighty and strong, couldn't get the sun down, what could you possibly do about that?

Hawkeye - of course - didn't have a plan hammered out and ready to be put in action, but she was neither one to give up easily, nor the one to break promises she had made. Therefore she sat down and thought for a long time, and then an idea occurred to her. First she asked - why do you want to have the sun down so badly?

The giant replied that he wanted to make a gem that was just as beautiful and shiny as the orb itself. The winters in his area were very long, cold and lonely - the sun rarely peeked through the thick blanket of clouds. He wanted to have his own sun then.

Hawkeye seemed satisfied to hear that, got to her feet and said to him - Follow me! The giant got to his feet and their began their way. Where giant took one step, our heroine had to take ten, but she was a sturdy wolf, who was used to travelling long distances. After a while they came to a place, where there was a lot of water.

At that moment the sun was setting, slowly reaching the horizon.
You see - Hawkeye said - every evening the sun goes to an island on the horizon - to have a rest and prepare for the next day. If we could get there, you could see the sun in person.

The giant seemed thoughtful, but then he nodded slowly. He was a good swimmer, therefore he got in the water, while Hawkeye was standing atop his head and they made their journey to the Land at the Horizon.

Now, what do you think could have happened along the way? My memory here is a little rusty, I know that they got, where they wanted, but something did happen."
