Over my course of living atop the tropical cluster of islands in the South, I’ve come to observe countless animals. Here, I will recount them in my study of their behavior, habitat, and description. Zoology is the study of the habitat and distribution of this wildlife. I also composed this book from exterior citations and research into previous observations of the illustrated critters.

 

Many of these birds, bugs, mammals and fish may be discernible, even salient to those exploring through the woods and shorelines of the tropics. They are found in a paradise, thriving widely and multifariously.  Their shapes and sizes range, but most have adapted to be more agile, or bright to blend and hunt or scavenge.

The Nene Goose

 mqUDDblz5mm69lbWuiO0DqFteDHD0R-TxmdU7tKBnINwq3M5LYe8z5BRF5W5RFGmjXg_xOqzJoPyeM4LQiS_6AhECzilhzHcpMvuNO7BrJ_7yMHOM4JOBhMQM6_gzEYX4JlISmAD

An illustrated Nene.

 

The most common bird that is native to the Grove.  A subspecies of the common goose, this is the rarest type of Goose found. It lives exclusively atop the archipelago. It is also significantly smaller than the common Goose. 

 

HABITAT

*

The nene, like the common Goose, creates a nest as a mound in the ground, or shrubbery. Oftentimes they will be found near marshes, or ponds. The water serves as a better precaution for safety. They also may leave their nest in grasslands, plains, in the open sun.

 

APPEARANCE

*

The Nene is approximately two feet long, or 24 inches from tail feather to beak.  It’s wingspan is long at roughly 45 inches. It’s tail feathers are a dark brown, and underbelly white. It’s coloration is a more brown hue of the common goose.

 

BEHAVIOR

*

 

Although they may fly, they are ground dwelling geese. The nene’s are very social, and are rarely not found in gaggles.  They will forage for food around the plains, and are herbivorous creatures.  They graze grasses, berries, seeds, shrubs, and fruits. 

 

REPRODUCTION

*

Nene’s seem to mate for life, and will lay their eggs into their nest. The eggs range between 1 and 5 in my studies, and they are large, about the size of  a man’s hand. They are incubated for a month,thereafter hatching into fletchlings.

 

 

 

 

 The Jungle-fowl Chicken

draw-rooster.jpg

A rendition of the Jungle-fowl - a wild relative of the chicken

 

 

Following its namesake, the Jungle-fowl dwells in dense vegetation. It appears as a relative to the chicken, however smaller and more agile  than those of a farm.  It is also more vibrant in its feathers tint. 

 

HABITAT

*

The Jungle-fowl is found in deep foliage and tall grasses. Their nests are scattered over low branches of small trees like the acacia, or palms. They may also camouflage their nests in the grass and bushes. 

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

Thinner and more feral than their common counterparts, the Jungle-fowl is a brighter, smaller genus of the chicken. The plumage ranges in vibrant, red colors: from golds to metallic greens. It’s tail feathers have a high arch, and it’s hindneck is speckled with rusty feathers. It’s wingspan extends 15 inches, and it can grow up to 27 inches long; males are larger than females.

 

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

 

The Jungle-fowl’s shape is not ideally aerodynamic, so it may narrowly glide short distances. Flight is confined, seemingly, to reaching their nests or away from predators. Jungle-fowls are dominant, protective birds. They remain in flocks, and exhibit defense from rowdy, or outside pheasants and other birds.  They consume berries, grain and bugs as most of their diet. The fowls are aggressive birds.

 

REPRODUCTION

*

 

Eggs are typically laid in the dry portions of the seasons, such as winter and the late springs. Eggs take a month to incubate, and the mother’s sit atop their nest for that time. Jungle-fowls do not mate.

 

 

 

 

 

The ‘Amakihi

image.thumb.png.92bf098618f39bb7d8732b88bc5ff562.png

A rendition of a small 'Amakihi upon a branch.

 

The ‘amakihi is a small bird, native to the Grove. It is a songbird, and a relative to the Honeycreeper. It’s plumage is universally a yellow hue. It trills in the morning, and is often spotted on the forest’s edges.

 

HABITAT

*

It prefers humid territory, also found at  sea level.  It is an adaptable bird, versatile in its chosen spot.  Nests are often in canopies of  small leaves in a cup-like shape. This is not uncommon among songbirds. 

 

APPEARANCE

*

The ‘amakihi, in all observations, is yellow. It, alongside the Honeycreeper, is bijou. It’s length extends only 5 to 7 inches long, wingspan equal. It’s bill is short, curved and charcoal colored  for the purpose of consuming nectar. 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

 

‘Amakihi birds feed on insects, and hunt together in small flocks. Their song is a trill in the morning, mainly.  They also search underneath leaves, and grass about the ground to search for stray seeds, and nectar. 

 

REPRODUCTION

*

 

They seem to lay their eggs all year round. They lay 2 to 3 eggs, incubating them for 2 weeks, usually. In that time, the mothers sit still atop their nest. Young ‘amakihi become independent of their nest in approximately 3 months after hatching.

 

 

 

The Tropical Honeycreeper

image.png.3778e7a09548441b1b2bf83ddea58d21.png

A renderance of a Honeycreeper on a branch.

 

A small songbird, similar to a finch in its appearance. It is a miniscule bird, with a wide beak ideal for feeding upon nectar. The Honeycreeper is exclusive to the tropical Grove, and flourishes in several colors amid the forests.

 

HABITAT

*

 

Most Honeycreepers are found atop palms and forest trees. Their nests are small and made up of small sticks, alike their goldfinch and songbird  counterparts.

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

 

They have wide, curved bills, creating the reverberance for a whistling song. The shape of their beaks, however, slightly seem to vary. On each short wing, they have 9 primary feathers. Their hue ranges in tints from more common crimsons, to yellows and greens. The genders of the birds are seemingly indifferential. They extend between 6 and 10 inches, compact songbirds.

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

 

Honeycreepers are active in the daylight, diurnal. Similar to most songbirds, they sing and chirp, calls often akin to a canary’s for a mate. Subspecies of the Honeycreeper, however, vary. The birds mate for life in monogamous relationships, though are usually found foraging alone. Their diet is broad, consuming most edible, natural material. Nectar is a core, alongside insects, seeds, slugs, and carrion. 

 

REPRODUCTION

*

The season in which two eggs, at most, are laid, ranges from the early springtime to summer. Incubation lasts between two to three weeks, and Honeycreepers are born blind. While the female sits atop her nest, the male mate will feed her and nurture the young.

 

The Tern

arcticterndrawing3.png

A rendition of a majestic flying tern.

 

 

Terns are seabirds distributed over the entirety of Arcas, but are especially common on the Grove.  They are slender, nimble hunters, white and grey in coloration.

 

HABITAT

*

 

Most terns are found over the rugged shorelines, nesting over rocks and salt marshes.  They nest in marshes alongside the coast, beneath bushes. 

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

 

Terns have angular bodies for hunting over the sea in the sunlight. Although they appear similar to a common seagull, their bills are like a knife: straight, and sharp.  Their legs are short, and wings pointed, aerodynamic. Their wingspan extends 31 inches, I observed. They are rather short, still: 12 inches long, or 1 foot.  Their heads are covered similarly to a raccoons, with a dark mask over their eyes. Otherwise, their plumage varies from a blinding white to grey.  Their beaks are vibrant, like a duck, in a harsh, saturated orange.

 

BEHAVIOR

*

 

Terns fly over the sea’s surface, flapping over it’s waves to hunt. They diet upon saltwater, and marine fish, also including shrimp. Whatever they may retrieve from the shallow, aquatic life. Terns are flocking birds, but pursue and gather alone. They are not afraid to announce their presence, very loud. They call an alarm akin to a hawk’s.  

 

REPRODUCTION

*

 

Terns mate for life in a matter of what appears as a uniform ritual. The male protects his territory that he has taken alongside the flock. He may attract a female tern, and establish a relationship. They will fly together, and then nest together.  Terns lay exclusively one brown, splotched egg, blending in within the beach.   They incubate for 3 to 4 weeks, and the mate hunts in this period.

 

THE BUGS

txtsepfancy.png

The Grove Butterfly

jM8h7xi26uos9vGBGiz1MAzQ3uWRlT2lQ8XWhy2WrXHxXfpA5k8O9isTyoJrkqnXo_foGicVTRBLrFPQUdpdOOKraFfxyg7bYNkfcnFO4o-ijXHi9Uwvky42eTz1LvBTz5-AqTzG

An illustration of the Grove Butterfly.

 

 

The Grove butterfly is a common butterfly native to the Grove, signified by it’s crimson and black pattern, and particularly fast flying.  Unlike the common butterfly, their wings are shaped uniquely. They also have white splotches on them.

 

HABITAT

*

Butterflies are distributed all over the archipelago, but these are predominantly discovered in upper woodlands and the coast. Some fly into created ecosystems, or birdhouses for their shelter.  Others are distributed through flora. 

 

APPEARANCE

*

 

Grove butterflies are a rarity to spot, but are common in uninhabited forestry, it seems. They are larger than most, wingspan a lengthy 3 inches. The edges of each flapping wing are black, with the edges spotted with white dots on the margins.  The wing, however, is mainly an orange-red. It appears similar to a Monarch, but there are key facets to differentiate the two. 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

 

Like most butterflies, Grove butterflies go into a chrysalis for 14 days and emerge as butterflies. Grove butterflies feed almost exclusively on  tree sap, and will often be found swarming around areas wherein they may find it.

 

The Sphinx Moth

convolvulus-hawkmoth-illustration-drawin

An intricately illustrated Sphinx Moth.

 

 

Sphinx moths are typical moths which roam, and are found at dusk, mainly.  They are native to the deserts around the Trade State, as well as the Grove.

 

 

HABITAT

*

They are primarily found in bushes, and small nooks, on flowers and tree branches. They are nocturnal, though will awaken if they sense a predator in nearby radius. They are distributed in forests and meadows, ideal for their diet.  

 

APPEARANCE

*

Unlike many moths, the sphinx moth is lacking in a feathery  texture.  They have an angled body, with a pointed abdomen. Their wings are sharp and sometimes lacking in pattern. Their color ranges from metallic greys, to olive browns. Streaks line their body, for blending in amid the night. Their wings extend an outstanding 6.5 inches.

 

BEHAVIOR

*

Sphinx moths are common in the dusk, and nocturnal insects. They blend  in with the vegetation, but are very observable during their foraging among vibrant flowers.  Different from common moths, Sphinx moths do not consume upon silk. Their diet is composed of nectar, and grape leaves.

 

 

The Golden Tortoise Beetle

goldenbeetle_20853_lg.gif

An illustrated, millimeter sized beetle

 

The Golden Tortoise Beetle is a miniscule beetle, endemic to the Grove.  It resembles a small nugget of gold, reflective, hence its namesake.

 

 

HABITAT

*

Golden beetles do not nest, but rather rest on leaves and nearby foliage. They can be discovered in dispersed flowers, and gardens.

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

 

Golden Tortoise Beetles resemble a nugget of gold, while their shell is akin to a miniature tortoise. Golden Beetles are miniscule, only extending 1 centimeter long and wide.

 

BEHAVIOR

*

Golden Tortoise Beetles waddle over leaves and play dead as a defense mechanism when they may sense a predator. They may turn on their back when approached, thus. Their

diet is of foliage and weeds, and will also eat garden plants.

 

 

The Yellow Faced Bee

z4_d7iHrhg52WW3KbfKeXSbvs3bzezziUs4vCSAZ

A drawing of the bee.

 

 

A rare, fleeting species of bee indigenous to the Grove. The yellow faced bee is distinct from an elongated head and coal black wings.

 

HABITAT

*

Yellow faced bees, among the common bee, live in hives. These are usually at high elevations, in coastal areas of forests. The bees belong in damp areas, and dwell there.

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

Yellow faced bees appear closer related to wasps than a common bee. The majority of their bodies are black, as well as their wings. They are the size of a common bee, about 7 millimeters. They possess, upon the thorax, and their face, white markings.

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

These bees feed on nectar, and pollinate the flowers that surround them. They are not differential from their typical counterparts, in that facet. However, they are more withdrawn and solitary than the average bee, or wasp. They will stay out of range of birds, or people.  They will also die, when stinging, as do normal bees.  

 

The Grove Garden Spider

 

The Grove Garden Spider is a harmless orb spinner, extending 2.5 inches with yellow striped legs. It is indigenous to the grove, explaining it’s

name.

 

 

HABITAT

*

The garden spider is found in a range of insect-tolerable places.  It may create its web in forests, or upon the coasts and shorelines. It dwells in sunlit places, to attract other bugs and attach its web to healthy flora. Its web is traditional of an orb spinner, circular and woven intricately.

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

The garden spider is a medium sized spider, extending 2.5 inches.  It has 8 legs in an X like formation, with yellow stripes curling around each. It’s abdomen is a green tint, and head black with it’s legs. It has fangs, but is utterly harmless to Descendents, and not poisonous.

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

Garden spiders are solitary insects, and stay in far proximity even of their own species, I’ve observed.  They attract mosquitoes and flies primarily, but do not chase their prey.

 

THE SEALIFE

txtsepfancy.png

The Monk Seal

draw-ca-sea-lion.jpg

A sketch of the seal.

 

Monk seals are a tropical tribe of seals. They are the only earless seals found in the climate in which they dwell. They are agile predators with flat snouts and nostrils. They are aloof toward

Descendents, when observed upon the beach, often delving back into the sea from the perceived threat.

 

HABITAT

*

Monk seals remain in the coast’s subtropical water. They dwell beside reefs and show signs of foraging nearby the coral.  To rest, they retire to seaside caves, also sunbathing in the daylight

on uninhabited shores.

 

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

Monk seals have a thick darkened fur coat. In the sun, this fades into a lighter dark gray. Their bellies are lacking in fur. Evidently, their skin is a whiter hue.  Monk seals are large aquatic mammals, 2 meters long.

 

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

Monk seals primarily diet on bony fish that live amid the shore’s reefs and eels, sometimes including mollusks too.  They seek meat, as carnivorous mammals. They are diurnal 

and I’ve found them to hold no presence in the moonlight.

 

 

 

 

The Green Sea Turtle

green-drawing.gif

A sketch of the green sea turtle from top down.

 

 

Green sea turtles are the sole species of turtle that swim, and are found upon the Grove’s beaches. Turtles, themselves, are a dwindling species. They are distinguished from the more common

turtle by their scale pattern upon their face. It is differentiated from the shared frontal scales of an Imperial Turtle, for example.

 

HABITAT

*

Like all turtles, green sea turtles migrate from the spot in which they were possibly born into the ocean to travel far distances to forage and settle. Many migrate to other shores and remain near those bays, finding themselves safe from predators. They live atop seaweed beds waved to the land. These creatures do not stay in a singular place long, except to seemingly nest their

eggs.

 

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

The green sea turtle’s body is an oval, with a more flattened, less arched shell. While the adults are a cyan leaning green, the hatchlings remain a yellowish brown.  Their flippers are light, and have a minute claw below their scales. They extend 4 feet, and are very leisurely upon land.

 

 

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

They are herbivorous creatures, but firstly eat algae and seaweed. They prefer to be lonesome, hunting, always returning to the shore alone with their  meal. In their early life, they traverse, and eat worms and crabs, later in life coming to be more herbivorous. Their most serious threat to survival is theft of eggs from predators and hunting.

 

 

The Spinner Dolphin

35bdd023cbdee9d89ed25bd11f9fadf2.jpg

An illustration of a performing spinner dolphin

 

The spinner dolphin is a slim dolphin found in tropical waters and the Grove. It prefers to perform for any hypothetical passerby, in acrobatic displays and jumping above the water’s surface. 

 

HABITAT

*

Spinner dolphins stick to warm, shallow water, though may also scour deeper into the ocean, seeking prey.  All return to the bay to rest in the late night, in a routine,  instinctual trip.

 

APPEARANCE

*

Spinner dolphins are thinner and more aerodynamic than the common dolphin, with a triangular dorsal (back) fin.  They are primarily grey, but their belly is found to be darker. The largest dolphins are 7 feet, small sizes 4 feet. Some spinner dolphins have humps upon their backs.

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

These dolphins are lighthearted jesters who care to perform and “spin” for anyone who may observe. In the morn, they play with the “schools” they travel alongside. They have

an intriguing whistle, a high pitched click.  At dusk, they hunt for their diet. It consists of squid and tropical fish.

 

 

The Butterflyfish

Chelmo_rostratus_Ford_28.jpg

 

A unique, flattened fish, widespread over tropical waters everywhere.  They resemble angelfish, though, their features are notably softer.

 

HABITAT

*

Butterflyfish live inside coral and are hunted by monk seals, sometimes.  They live in very shallow territories, less than 60 feet from the surface.

 

APPEARANCE

*

Butterflyfishes are 5 inches long at the very largest, and 3 as a minimum. Their fins are small and silky, a common trait of most tropical fish. Their namesake was received from vibrant colors in which stripe their body. They have a dorsal fin, a long extended antenna from their eyes to past their body, acting as a spine.

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

Butterflyfish travel in schools until they find a lifetime mate, wherein they stick beside them in a duo. They live inside reefs and stay nearby them. They do not travel far, and feed on plankton.  They scout throughout the daylight, but return to the reefs in the dusk.

 

 

THE LAND

txtsepfancy.png

 

The Chital

44736_deer_lg.gif

An artist's rendition of a male Chital in the wild.

 

 

Chital, or the spotted deer, is a deer species native to the Grove. It is moderately sized, in the average range of the extended weight and size of the animal, extending 3 feet from the shoulder to the tail. They are common on the Grove, and are scattered over forests and grasslands.

 

HABITAT

*

Chitals inhabit grass plains, mountains and forests among the Grove. They gather together in large herds, and rest in shaded areas, underneath trees.

 

APPEARANCE

*

Chital are medium sized deer, back spotted with white dots and a golden coat. They distinctively have a black stripe down their spine. Males have antlers, three pronged. Mature male deer can weigh up to 200 lb, while females reach 100 at most.

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

Chital are diurnal, and active primarily in the morning. They are jittery when they spot an individual nearby, and may naturally run.  Chital are herbivorous, like all deer, and their diet is made up primarily of grass, flowers and fruits. They stay in large numbers together to avoid predators and hunters.

 

 

The Mongoose

Mongoose_(PSF).png

A wild mongoose sketched.

 

 

The mongoose is a small, carnivorous mammal, closely related to the meerkat. They are not exclusive to the Grove in their inhabitance. Their territory ranges from deserts, to plains, to forests.

 

HABITAT

*

Mongooses dwell in clearings and forests in the Grove. They dwell inside tunnel systems, burrows. An analogy could be made between them and rabbits, in that courtesy. Some mongooses

stay near rivers, in convenience with water. Mongooses stay together in packs, as predators.

 

APPEARANCE

*

Mongooses vary in size. Though, most native to the grove extend 1 foot long. They have a straightforward body, with slick brown coats and shortened legs. They normally flourish grizzly hairs, and occasional ringtails. They have sharp fangs, as carnivores, and long snouts.

 

 

BEHAVIOR

*

Mongooses are unfriendly creatures, and predators. They are solitary, though most remain in colonies nevertheless, or “packs.” They hunt in the day, primarily on rodents and birds. They do not attack, lest provoked, but are territorial of locations near their burrows.

 

The Grove Cattle

illo039.jpg

An illustrated male cow, a bull.

 

 

Unlike most cows, the Grove’s cattle are undomesticated and mostly feral. They can range from black and white, to brown in color and are generally peaceful creatures (lest elicited otherwise.)

 

 

HABITAT

*

Wild cattle live in pastures, like their normal counterpart, and forests. At night, they often come together in herds and rest under palm trees shade and camouflage. Despite popular belief, they do not sleep standing up. They may fall into a reverie, but it is a daydream.

 

APPEARANCE

*

The cattle are indifferential from domesticated, or Imperial cattle. Their coats may range in color, and the males may have horns, as bulls. They are stocky, with rectangular bodies, but are more muscular than farm animals. Cattle, from their tail to their shoulder, are up to 5 feet long.

 

BEHAVIOR
*

Cattle are distant from people, and may feel threatened. They move steadily in herds, and feed upon grass in pastures and forests.  They feed their young with milk, and are very communal creatures.

 

The Hoary Bat

bats.jpg?w=472

A sketch of a flying hoary bat.

 

 

Hoary bats are an endemic species to the Grove. They are nocturnal, and have bad eyesight but navigate in some matter with echoing calls and squeaks through the nighttime.

 

HABITAT

*

Hoary bats live abundantly in the caves below the Grove.  They hang upon the ceilings, amid the darkness and are hostile if disturbed.

 

APPEARANCE

*

Hoary bats are dark, blending in creatures, with a white underbelly and dark grey bodies and wings. Their wingspan extends 15 inches, and they are a miniscule 3 inches long. They’re agile,

and light to fly through the night sky.

 

BEHAVIOR
*

The bats are nocturnal, and hunt in the nighttime. They flutter out of caves in the dusk, and forage through forests. They halt at rivers and drink there, and feed upon large moths, grasshoppers, mosquitoes, and even wasps. Hoary bats are solitary, and do not live in packs, or any group. 

 

The Circle Chameleon

06e5ed77188f882539c4402ddebec1d6.jpg

A circle chameleon atop a branch, sketched.

 

 

Chameleons are fascinating terrestrial reptiles that hide among trees and deep forestry.  They have a unique trait of being able to change the color of their skin. It may adjust to what they are standing upon.

 

HABITAT

*

Chameleons prefer damp, even wet forests. They live on tree branches, sheltered from the sun and the rain. They sit alone on the trees, never found in groups.

 

 

APPEARANCE

*

Chameleons are small lizards with pointed scales from their head to their tail’s tip. Adults are 6 inches long.  Chameleons change coloration, from a natural viridescence, to a bright yellow, to a brown to blend in. They may hide in their surroundings, and blend in.  They can observe all, with eyes on the sides of their cranium.

 

BEHAVIOR
*

Chameleons are very territorial and weary to anyone who approaches. They will change color on sight of a person; they presumably hope to hide. They do not care for others of their species, and may even attack. They rarely forage, but meander and will catch insects with an extended tongue as the main resource of their diet.

 

 


 

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

 

This was a study written over the course of months, and researched over the course of years. I hope it may have a helpful influence on anyone meaning to traverse the cluster of islands. It may also serve as an encyclopedia to the animals found over the Mother Circle Grove. Without animals, we would be alone. We would have little to feed on, or accompany.  Now, we may observe them in the modern day.

 

I'd like to thank Sonna Vuln'miruel, for approving this grand task and supporting it.

Sister Mandragora reviews the study with a smile, her heart filling with pride for her soon-to-be-attuned granddaughter.

From thus the slouch he managed, to whatever a rug still wove itself from thus fray likened to naught of the ordinary, the Sleeping Hawk exercised the spirit of a writhing to his sluggish thigh, for thus had he blighted by the interwoven flesh for so had drawn and flaunted an ebony, near bronze, in its technicolor tint, a foul blight in fold by fold, to his very last tissue to lace meat by thin accoutrement; he graced upon the lethargic limb, a near taut in its wrinkle and sag yet per the offers for hospice and solace in his rise. For, so had it occurred over a fortnight – the reconcile for will to the man's each slighting muscle, assuming by so odds that it were of essence for the man to have shifted his weight, hence by no other but by mooring a greater surplus of his willpower to his hamstring, though it so twitched here and there, per accommodating a sure rise at either foot. Toe, as had soothsaying by ill wish of a timid wriggle in so, contracted splinter some in a tear to the garb in tissue, forsooth had his flesh become septic, seeping with short ichor, to which the 'ame were none the wiser.

Little so stood the placid halcyon, for a life of his, the ill-begotten, decrepit mali, for thus did his vision mend and falter; as so cauterised his eyelids in trembling tissue to yet the bottom, in an attempt to fit the quota for so a stoical blink some. Obscured none, by that bayou fog, a wafting, better drifting dimness that beckoned to its stow and suit, the uttering for the contents a grimoire, in so the rowing of gentle monsoon, the contingency of the dreading air that so held, it danced and rippled a fair idea for mirage –– fire, though one greater than most others. For every passing frame for an instance, did the cancer in that inferno become twofold in the verbosity for which it beseeched a subsequence for whatever much air that held to its beyond; a fire, to the spawn a hayseed effigy, far and insignificant hereupon. And did yet he, the Sleeping Hawk, part either lip in dispersion to the ptyalism that held all the while, heeding word at once:

 

"The Hawk awaits, in good patience, for to be revered, as had he in bygone day." And a second instance, did he so hold his drawing to lip and tongue, "But, the Hawk knows no better than to wait. He has waits, for the Widow to come into becoming; and too, he waits to come into knowing."
