Kyro waited patiently for them to gather, his eyes glowing brightly from the darkly lit room. He watched as the first few came in, bowing at the waist
He waited until they all followed in before explaining his purpose and making sure to say that if they needed a couple of hours more to sleep he'd let them

There were a dozen representatives in all, four from three districts. They all gathered on the first floor. Half of them were diurnal and the other half were nocturnal, but they couldn't leave the diurnal half behind to sleep. The roostkeeper reminded them that if they left now, they could make it to the Nidum before dawn. A vote was held, and it was decided that they would all follow Kyro through the night, but hoped that Her Majesty would allow them all to rest once they arrived.
Pandi groaned and tried to wake themself up so he could be prepared for the long flight. Nearly all of the Blue River representatives were diurnal, so they all felt rather unlucky. When Pandi first spotted the escort, however, they were intrigued. It was always interesting when he saw a winter avian, their colors were always so white and their wings so thick and fluffy.
After a few more minutes the representatives were ready to depart.

Kyro was talking to a representative before his blue eyes met pandis, he gave a soft smile and looked back to the representative. Once they were done he went to pandi “ we’ll be flying kinda like geese, I'll lead and you guys can follow. I know some of you are diurnal but the only time I am really up and about is during the night. I assure you the Queen will let you rest a bit before the meeting.” he said softly. Kyro wasn't a real loud speaker.

Pandi gave him a thumbs up. “Sounds good,” he said, his voice louder than Kyro’s, despite their tiredness. “I’m Pandi Hal, by the way, of the Blue River District. Thanks for being our escort.”
He looked forward to resting at the Nidum. The royal family never disappointed when it came to providing for their guests. They hoped to write a letter to Dion once they arrived too, so they could maintain communication between them.

Kyro nodded “ lets get ready guys!” he called. He went out side, waiting for everyone to come outside before he gave them a small notice “ I know you all are tired but we must keep up! “ he said and jumped backward off the edge of the cliff. It took a few seconds before the sudden show of his white wings were seen again, his wings were fairly bigger when it came to most snow owls. Time seemed to slow, the snow catching up with his feathers, the first avain his crystal blue eyes met was pandis. His body curled into a position, like a crouch. ( kinda like spiderman when he jumps) he flapped his wings hard though little to no sound was made. The faster they got there the quicker they all could sleep

They followed him, and saw Kyro jump off. Pandi caught his eyes and gasped softly. They were so clear and blue… Pandi’s own eyes held Kyro’s, glowing amber in the dark.
One by one the representatives jumped off and flew after the escort, arranging themselves into a V-shape, with Kyro at the lead.
He marveled at the way their escort’s wings made no sound, and was acutely aware of the sound their own wings made, beating against the rushing wind.

Kyro would look back every now and then. It took him a bit, going slower for the diurnal. Though as soon as the sun had started shining kyros steady pace Dropped to an uneven glide. He was happy when they made it to the castle, now he looked almost exhausted. Though that may have been caused by his nocturnal schedule

By the time dawn turned the sky pink, the flock was doing their best to keep their wings stretched out straight, and glided on every wind current they came across. When the Nidum came into view, everyone seemed to sigh with relief, including Pandi. Everyone was tired now.
The Nidum stood as a tall, ginormous tree, structures and rooms built from the trunk and branches. Like a treehouse, but as a palace. A tree palace. There were rows of buildings that branched out from the Nidum that acted as guarding posts. A landing platform near the top of the tree was where they were headed; it acted as the main entrance and guards and some representatives from other districts filled the space. Pandi took a breath and tried to hang on until they landed.

Kyro stumbled to a knee when he landed, getting up slowly and looking back at the group. “ I'll show you too your rooms..” He said and walked to the dorm-like rooms. It was odd, kyro seemed to be one of the very few snow owls on sight. He watched as all the reps went into their suits and he himself went back to the queen. “ every representative is in bed for a few hours while we prepare ma’am.” he voice was strained slightly as he talked.

They followed him, eager for a warm bed and time to rest. A few paused to greet the representatives from other districts and such, but soon everyone who had been escorted by Kyro was in their provided rooms. Pandi roomed with Ace, as he usually did, and as they were both diurnal birds, they were asleep within a short fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile, the queen was awake, in bed eating breakfast. A servant flew around, drawing back curtains and going through her closet to find a good outfit for the day. Rowena raised her head when Kyro entered.
“Ah, good,” she nodded. “I would advise you to rest as well. I wouldn’t want you to be sleep deprived when we have important business to take care of.”

Kyro inclined his head to show he understood. Eventually the avain got laid down and slept for a good bit, longer then he had wanted to actually. He got up and dressed insomthing meant for a party, he knew what was up ahead for the representatives and wanted to look stunning along side the queen as she’d always looked so pretty. Kyro walked into her room hesitantly “ h..hey mom.. would you wanna do my hair or something?”

By now, everyone was awake and preparing. The queen was already walking around, greeting the oldest representatives and checking on the preparations.
At this moment, Rowena was in her sitting room, speaking with one of the representatives from the Dark Forest District, an owl avian like Kyro.
She regarded him when he entered, the representative cut off what he had been saying.
“I’m sorry, Kyro,” she said gently, but her eyes were firm and almost cold. “But as you can see, I have my hands quite full. Why don’t you have one of the maids do it?”

Meanwhile, Pandi and Ace were in their rooms, getting ready. There would be a reception party soon, meant for socializing and mingling with avians from all over the kingdom, establishing or reinforcing relationships. They dressed in their best formal wear, and preened each other’s feathers. Pandi was more excited than Ace was, mostly because he was more introverted and had attended these events for longer than Pandi had.

Kyro nodded and went to go find an open maid. He’d found one close by to pandi, not having noticed the boy there. His feathers were a bit ruffled from stress and knowledge that he had to impress quite a few avains to help the queen.

The maid, after a bit of confusion, obliged to style Kyro's hair. After a few minutes, Pandi and Ace emerged from their room, the former chattering excitedly about the party. Spotting Kyro, he immediately walked over to him, smiling wide.
"Hello! Uh…" they realized he had never introduced himself. "Mr. Escort! How are you? Um, thanks again for guiding us. Me and my friend here rested well. Will we see you at the party?"

" im actually going that way," h said as the maid finished and he walked to pandi " im kyro, by the way.." he said and flustered a bit. kyros snowy blue eyes watched pandis and gave him a warm look.

They gasped with excitement. "Oh, wonderful! Would you want to walk with us, Kyro?"
Behind him, Ace came up. "Um, Pandi, do you know–?"
"Are you okay with him coming with us, Ace?" he asked, whipping around to face him.
"Uh, that's not what I was going to…" he sighed. "Yeah, it's fine."

kyro nodded, he gave a soft smile and looked to the other avain " what do you need?" he asked and tilted his head.

Ace looked up. “Oh, no, I’m just surprised Pandi here doesn’t know who you are.”
Pandi looked at him. “What do you mean? He’s Kyro, the one who escorted us here.”
Shaking his head, Ace chuckled. “You mean, you haven’t seen him around in previous meetings?”
“No??” They turned back to Kyro. “Do you know what he’s talking about?”

Kyro chuckled, leaving the story telling to ace “ go ahead, I’m tired of telling that story.” He said softly. Kyro smiled at pandi, knowing exactly how this would go once he was told he was second in line to the throne.

Ace looked a bit uncomfortable now. “Um, I’ll tell you later, Pandi,” he said, then lowered his voice. “When we’re alone.”
Pandi blinked. “Uh, okay?” He turned to Kyro. “Um… you don’t have, like… a criminal record, do you?”

“ no, no! “ he said and put his hands up. He sighed and lowered his head “ you really wanna know? “ he paused a second before closing his wings to his back “ I'm a living legend. There are no snow owl species that hasn't told the queen of their newborn child to have her blessing, but in the time I would have been born or even thought about, the Queen had no children or eggs brought to her. So when I showed up in a basket with no info but my name on a note she took me in. Now I stand as second in line. The General for the army has always been like a father to me and the queen a mother. That's just how it's always been. I don't wear the crown I was given for the simple fact of I don't want people to know. “ he explained
