She looked at the other mountain that Cronin was staring at. "Why are you acting... odd?" She asked.

Cronin didn't respond toher question, instead muttered "I could find out where you came from, if that's what you wanted."

She wasn't sure what he was talking about, but she nodded her head anyway. "Um.. okay."

Cronin seemed a bit disappointed, but he covered it up another weird smile. He leaned down next to her and waited for something.

"What are you doing?"

"Climb on. I'm gonna fly over to that other mountain and see if we can find any clues about who you are." He said. That sounded good. She defenitely didn't like the feeling of not knowing who she was. She climbed onto Cronins back. She was almost as big as he was, and she didn't think he would be able to lift off. But he spread his wings and leaped into the air. At first he tried to glide, but she was to heavy. He grunted and started flapping his wings franticly.

"Um.... maybe we could climb? Orr...."

"That would take too long." He grunted from the effort and kept flying, but he was dropping rapidly. From this hight, she could see a cliff on the side of the mountain they were on, and something was hanging from it.

"Don't look at that," Cronin grunted. He flapped his wings harder and then suddenly dropped.

She started to scream, but then realized that they had dropped onto a wide ledge on the other mountain. She got off as fast as she could and stared at Cronin, who looked like he had been squashed by an elephant.

"Are you okay?!"

"No." He struggled to his feet and then leaned against the side of the mountain. After a few minutes, he said "Now I am. Let's go." He jumped up impossibly high and grabbed onto the side of the cliff. She tried doing the same and fell.

"Grab onto my tail." He said. He let his tail drop so she could on while she climbed. The cliff wasn't as high as she thought, and easier to climb than she expected. She felt like she had done this before.

She jumped up and looked around. "I reconize this place." She muttered.

"Good." Cronin replied. He started to jump ahead. This part of the mountain wasn't as steep and much easier to climb. They came to another cliff and climbed it, althought she almost fell twice. They weaved around another cliff that was too high to climb and found an easier way up. She sat down to rest and looked up. She thought she heard voices. Cronin hadn't seem to heard it, as he was preening his feathers.

She weaved around a huge boulder and looked up. There were a few animals alongside a cliff. One of them turned toward her.

She jumped behind the rock and looked around for Cronin. He was still cleaning his feathers. She was about to say something when a furry face peered around the arock.

"Gah!" She jumped back and smashed right into Cronin. The furry animal, which she assumed was a cat, gasped and stepped back. His eyes widened.

"Y-you... wha...." He sat there staring at her for a long time. Suddenly he jumped up and wrapped his arms around her. Was he attacking her?

She wriggled around and then pushed the cat off. He went sliding across the stones, then stared at her in confusion. "Akurle..."

"Who? What... Who are you!" She stuttered. She turned around to look at Cronin, who was almost as surprised at the fat black cat.

Before the cat could answer, all the other animals had run down and were gaping at her. She leaned against Cronin, feeling dizzy from confusion.
