My Story:
GoldenHawk was born to a Brown Hawk and a Grey Hawk and was raised in the traditional Hawk manner. One day as a youngster, while doing Hawk things, flying about and hunting, he was bitten by his intended target and meal, a poisonous snake. Dropping the snake and barely fluttering to the ground, the adolescent's heart pounded and his vision swam.
A wandering Irish Rogue came upon the hapless GoldenHawk, amazed to see such a noble and distant creature staggering around blindly on the trail before him. Realizing that the hawk must be ill or poisoned, he gathered up the hawk and made camp, feeding and caring for GoldenHawkuntil he recovered.
GoldenHawk took an instant liking to the fun loving Irish Rogue and delighted in the games of hunting and snatching the Rogue taught him. Eventually the games became more complex and the growing hawk learned to parcipate in the Rogue's missions and battles. Enjoying this activity immensely, he soon developed an intense bond with the Irishman and they soon became a very effective team in hunting and in most aspects of Irish's vocation.
