The bird struggled, pushed to her feet,
ruffled her blood-caked feathers, and cooed.
I smiled, though she still looked gruesome. I
wondered if she would let me clean her off. She stood perfectly still, and we
stared at each other. The whites of her eyes were actually gray flecked with
gold, and she had black pupils of surprising depth.
As I continued to hold her gaze, waves of
information flowed towards me. Flashes of Gringo’s attack, the quest for food,
the feeling of a mashed-up worm in my mouth, and flight. Glorious flight. The
only experience I could compare it to was sticking my head out of the window of
a moving car, but this was so much more wild and uncontrolled. Dipping, gliding,
climbing, soaring, banking, communicating to other birds using the way
my—her—body moved. It was exhilarating—and terrifying.
It was then that I realized why my mother
used feathers in change magic. This was exactly what change felt like.
Once that idea hatched, I wanted to make sure
I didn’t forget it. I wanted to lock it away in a vessel to be visited later.
Immediately a shape formed in my mind to contain it: an orb of moonlit reeds
that contrasted light and darkness. The idea of change slid eagerly into the
orb and filled its roundness. The weave rearranged itself to seal off the ends,
and a brilliant light lit up the whole room. I yelped and collapsed on the
table, unconscious.
“Are you all right?” The voice was young,
female, loud, and close.
I jerked up with a gasp, drenched in sweat.
“Who’s there?”
The white pigeon on the table brushed my
cheek with her outstretched wing tip and tilted her head. The voice repeated
directly in my mind, “I said, are you all right?”
