Fledge looked down at the ground for a long moment, trying to decide what to do. Buzzy impatiently tapped her claw on the ground and said, “Well, what is it? What aren’t you telling me?”

Fledge hesitantly revealed the broken compass. Buzzy audibly gasped, realizing the weight of the situation. It would be much harder to get home now and they may never find their way back to their gentle Bell Buckle home.

Fledge try apologizing, but Buzzy Interrupted. “We need to get home before this gets worse. Just follow me. I remember the way we came in.“ They took off into the gathering darkness, not realizing they were moving further from home with every beat of their wings.
