297 Expansion II

Michael was positively surprised when he heard a familiar screech resounding through the periphery of the Summoning Gate. 

He turned his head and smiled lightly. Today was a good day.

"A Greater Eagle?" Michael mused quietly as a green-feathered Greater Eagle appeared in his vision.

It was a little bit smaller than Icarus and its plumage had a unique sheen, which was a clear indicator of its sex. The Greater Eagle was a female.

As if Icarus realized that Michael was thinking about him, the Greater Eagle appeared above the Summoning Gate. He descended and landed in front of the smaller, green-feathered Greater Eagle and screeched much louder in response.

The smaller Greater Eagle opened its wings as wide as possible, and everybody watched them in anticipation, fearing that the two would fight. However, the smaller one lowered its head and bowed to Icarus.
