The Bird Trainer | ZapFic50 Friday #48 | (9/30/22) - Prompt: bronze
In this Week 48 of the ZAPFic50 Friday, the prompt "bronze" brings to mind the color of eagles. These beautiful faithful birds when starting young are what makes an eagle trainer famous.
Below is my story:
Selwyne stood atop the cliff overlooking countrymen. His heart beat faster. Family cheered, proud he was representing their town in the regional festival.
His bronze eagle, ShadowHunter, took flight.
Six months practicing. Would he return?
Voice shaking, Selwyne whistled.
ShadowHunter glided, clutched, then settled on his outstretched arm.
Perfect score.
