" I believe I can!" Vanelee jumping to his feet, his thoughts racing back to his forgottten companion.
With these words, Vanelee raised two fingers to his mouth and emitted a high pitched whistle.
The group stood frozen for a few moments, before the sound of flapping wings could be heard approaching them.
Suddenly a light grey falcon swooped into the forest and came to rest on Vanelee's shoulder.
"Fawkes!" Vanelee greeted the bird "How are you my old friend!"
With a smile on his face, the elf turned back to his companions and said " Guys, this is my travelling companion Fawkes. He can carry message to the king."
All the while the falcon nipped tenderly at the elf's raised hand.
