When Pania moves silent and gestures for Dio to be silent she sneaks behind her. Holding her robe close to her so it won't disturb the foliage.
Seeing the lagoon and the gracious white birds a big smile appears on her face.
She stares at the birds almost studies them.
Dio her hair ripples almost like water and white feathers appear on her hair line like those of a heron.

"That's funny" Pania wispers. "You start looking like the birds. Even if you are no spirit one of you ancestors must have been one."

Dio smiles at the young girl she runs her fingers along the crown of white feathers sprouted from her hair line. SHe chuckles
"Beauty inspires me, so do these beautiful creatures. "
Turning to Pania she tilts her head "So what do you like to do? what do you find beautiful?"

"We go up to the mountains to the Eagles nest." Pania replies with a sparkle in her eyes.
She leads Dio back into the forrest and soon way leads upwards, the flora changes a bit on the way giving room to more studier plants. And then from far a above you hear the cry of an eagle, but your still in the forrest so you can not see it yet.
"He is hunting the Moas. But it is not so nice seeing him doing the deed."

Dio follows curious what this young girl.can show her. And enjoying her enthusiasm about the things she shows.
Dio looks appreciative to the flora and how it adapts to a changing altitude and conditions.
"Change is survival"
She says as they walk.
Hearing the eagle cry she looks up instinctively but seeing only leaves she keeps following Pania.
"Sometimes things seemingly hidious are needed for survival."

"I like to eat Moas myself, very tasty. And it is not the killing part. The eagle are fast or they have a empty stomach."
Now the forrest gives way to bushes and Pania stops at the forrest edge. Looking up checking the sky.
Up in the sky you see a bird circling and then suddenly it swoops down and disappears from sight.
Pania point upwards to the mountains side. "We have to go up there."

Dio nods "Of course feeding is needed for survival. I would not konw what Moas are but clearly something that needs to be hunted. "
SHe then looks up with Pania to the sky seeing the bird circle she smiles
"Lead the way then i am now curious to this bird. if we of course can get close enough to it. Do not want to disturb it or endanger you."

"Oh if you have never seen a Moa than you have to see it first. But we have to be carefull, they a sometimes quite moody." She leads Dio along the forrest line checking for tracks.
After a short while she poinst to the ground where Dio can see a large bird foot print on the ground. Pania follows the foot prints and soon you see at some distance a group of birds. They are Big, from tip to toes they are 6,5 feet high and have no visible wings. One of them watches both girls cautiously.

Dio raises an eyebrow.
"Moody animals... suppose not strange if you are generally considered prey. "
Walking along with Pania she stays quiet when seeing the big birds.
She blinks several times.
In a hushed tone she speaks.
"Well those are darn huge."

Pania smiles. "You can ride them, well not those, but I have a tame one at home."
"They hav also very big eggs, tasty too."
She gives Dio some time to watch the birds.

Dio nods watching the birds she smiles.
Her eyes slowly growing and changing to the colors and markings of the birds and a bit bigger size.
She smiles.
"Not my preferred style but i see beauty in the birds. In fact all animals hold beauty. Just like wvery other being alive and not."
She winks to Pania.
"So if an eagle can hunt these they must be huge as well no?"

"Yes all of them have their own beauty, one has to carefully look." Pania replies.
"Your are starting to look them, that is fancy."
Pania stretches her arms out trying to show the wing span. ( She is 10 years, so no her arms are not long enough)
"10 feet the females eagles. Males are a bit smaller."
"They have sharp claw who can break bone. That's how they kill."
"When our elder want to scare us the tell us stories about children that were taken be the eagles."
"I do not believe this stories."
She points up to the points. " You can climb?"

Dio smiles appreciative to Pania in her enthusiasm of teaching and showing Dio around.
She looks up at where she points
"Yes i am sure i can manage a climb. After all your tellings of these birds i am really curious to see an eagle now."

And up it goes. Up into the mountains. Finnaly you reacha cliffside spot and Panai points to spot 50 feet away. Dio can see a big nest. Inside the nest two eaglet are peacefully dozing.
Dio and Panina hear again the cry of an eagle and huge eagle with a dead bird in its claws majestically lands on the nest and starts to feed the now wide awaken eaglets.

Dio follows Pania and seeing the nest and the two young birds she is amazed.
Hearing the cey of the mother she ducks down into the shadow making sure the Eagle feedding her young won't spot her that quickly.
Her mouth falls nearly open with seeing such splendor.
