Three years passed quickly, Nathan is now 7ft and slightly taller than his late father, Norman. The only way to tell him apart from his father is his brown hair, tanned skin, and brown eyes in contrast to his father’s blond hair (dyed neon blue), bright blue eyes, and fair skin.

“We will soon be send to earth to recruit more eagle riders, are you ready to come along?” Eagle and his student were training hard.

“I am but I am not to sure if I can keep up with you. I am inferior to my father”. His student wanted to go along but atthe same time lacked the confidence to do so.

“Do not worry about anything not compare yourself to your father. I am sure he will be proud of you and the eagle rider you have become”. Eagle did his best to encourage his student. “Your mother has also released you. This is something a lot of mothers find it hard to do, that is let go. Tomi and Mads excel in that”.

“I still wish to be like my father”.

“You are more like him than you think. Firstly, your physical appearance reminds everyone about him and so does your blue diamond sword and your neon blue eagle”. Eagle called his bright green eagle and hopped on.

Following his example, Nathan called his neon blue eagle and hopped on too after placing his blue diamond sword in a sheath. “What can we expect on earth?”

“Earth is mostly dead now but there are a few people left. The rest are zombies”.

“Why don’t we bring all of them to the Kingdom of Earthos?”

“Most of them do not want to come and are comfortable where they are. The Headmaster will not force anyone to leave earth if they do not want to”.

Both Eagle and Nathan were transported to earth and they saw zombies running around attacking each other and anything or anyone they can find. The only animals left on earth are insects, mice, and rats and they serve as food for the zombies.

“This is not the earth I once knew. It has changed. Everything your father told me about earth is correct”. Eagle who was still sitting on his green eagle looked around observing the surrounding.

“So this is earth?” Nathan shook his head. “May we be able to recruit as many eagle riders as we can”.

“Be careful not to command your eagle to land until I say so, it is dangerous down there. Our giant eagles will not be able to take in all the zombies put together, let alone fly away on time”. Both men scanned the surrounding before commanding their eagles to land on an empty area which does not seem to have any zombies.

Little did they realise there were zombies underground which dug their way up to the surface and attacked the two men and their eagles. Thankfully, they were not too far from their eagles and they killed a fair bit of zombies before running back to their eagles and flying up in the sky. The two eagles destroyed many zombies with their respective neon blue and bright green breath.

“I am sorry, Nathan. I almost got out eagles killed. This is also my first day to earth. I should have paid more attention when your father was teaching me”. Eagle regretted his carelessness and confessed to day dreaming from time to time.

“It is alright, Eagle, we fall short of the glory of the King of Paradeisos don’t we?” Nathan just laughed it off. “Besides we need to have a little fun in making mistakes or we will never learn. You thought me that many times”.

Both teacher and pupil took a whole day flying around the infested earth looking for signs of life. They finally saw a camp fire when the sun when down. A bunch of weary looking youth saw them and called out to them. Completing their mission and finding the right candidates, all of them were transported by the Headmaster back to the School of Paradeisos where their families and friends and fellow Eagle riders were waiting for them.

This pattern was repeated from time to time until there were no more survivors who wanted to become eagle riders. Seven more years passed by and Eagle was now fourth one years old.

Bondi and Marrisa were sixteen and fourteen years old respectively and have now become powerful eagle riders. They possess a cyan and a royal blue eagle respectively making them resemble their mothers once more.

Eagle and Tomi were proud of their daughter and step daughter. “I am glad to see they have grown up well. Lawrence and Mads will be please if they could see their own daughter now”.

As they were talking, a familiar voice called out, “Hi dad, do you have room for one more eagle rider?”

“Birdy?” Eagle called putting, “Is that you?”

“It surely is. I have been an eagle rider for a while and been training with Nathan whom you have appointed as leader of the eagle riders at the School of Paradeisos’ northern branch. The colour of my eagle is teal”. Birdy called her teal eagle to come down. “She is now three years old”. She stroke her eagle as she landed in front of the young lady who was dressed like her mother during her younger days.

“Welcome back, Birdy”.

“I only will be here for a few days but I will be in touch”.

“That is great. What I meant was welcome back to the School of Paradeisos”.

That very night, Birdy slept over in the guess room which Eagle had graced her with.

“How did the School of the Beast go?” Eagle asked his daughter.

“I will tell you someday dad but at the moment, I would like to focus on training with my eagle”.

Respecting his daughter’s wish, Eagle stopped asking. Instead they chatted about ordinary things in life.
